I derive great joy in being able to assist the students that I tutor in one subject or another, but I enjoy more all that I am able to learn from them in our sessions. I greatly enjoy tutoring also, as it allows me to tailor each lesson to every individual student in accordance with their learning preferences and build relationships with the students to better understand their strengths and weaknesses in a subject area.

Hobbies
I am an avid reader, writer and drawer. I love to read comics and most fiction novels, but I am also greatly intrigued by history and language learning. Music is very important in my day-to-day life, whether it is listening while commuting or exercising or simply just around the house. In particular I enjoy German rap music due to my current studies in German, however, I enjoy almost all other types of music, from Korean pop to classical to punk, etc. Anything else is simply something I have yet to discover.
