Why I Want to Be a Tutor: I firmly believe that education is one of the primary factors involved in the success and development of learners. I've always enjoyed helping students be successful, accomplish their goals, and build their confidence. My long-term goal is to teach overseas. Thus, I am actively seeking to gain experience in teaching or tutoring students, especially ESL students, through utilizing my education, as well as my work in tutoring, student services and admissions.

Hobbies
One of my favorite things to do in my free time is to go to a local coffee shop and enjoy a good book while I sip on a hot drink of some kind. If time and money permits, I find traveling to be really rejuvenating. I am a huge fan of outdoor activities, including fishing, hiking, surfing, and body boarding. When it comes to sports, I like to run, go to the gym, play and watch basketball, and play and watch rugby. I really appreciate languages, and try to organize time daily to learn or practice languages that I know or am learning (e.g. French, Biblical Hebrew).
