"I have recently returned from teaching overseas at the American International School Dhaka (AISD) to my home in Chapel Hill. During the current health crisis and the ensuing challenges it has caused for the education of young people, I think tutoring students is the way for me to continue with my passion, which is teaching. Having taught at a multicultural and International Baccalaureate School, I have much experience teaching students of different learning abilities, styles, cultures, and backgrounds.
