I have a lot of experience tutoring at this point. During high school, I participated in a peer tutoring program through National Honor Society, where I tutored peers who felt that they needed extra help in a subject area. I mostly specialized in math and science. I also volunteered at an after school program to tutor elementary school students from underserved backgrounds.

I love to tutor math. I got a perfect score on the math ACT and a 35 composite score (34 reading, 36 math, 35 science, 35 writing) and love to help people understand math concepts. Additionally I got a perfect score on the Math Level 2 and American History SAT Subject Tests.
Having gone through the college admissions process and having gotten into several Ivy League schools, MIT, and other highly competitive institutions, I think that I would be able to give great guidance and mentorship to those going through the colle
