Experience
I love helping students realize their full potential in academics. I have personally struggled with ADHD throughout my life & my brother has ASD, is verbal, & has mild ID, which has helped develop ample cognitive flexibility for learning strategies. For my MD/PhD, I would like to rent a small house with a fenced backyard for my 2 dogs. Private tutoring is helping me save the funds to afford it with my stipend.
