"I decided to become a tutor because of my passion for education and my desire to pass that knowledge on to others. During my time as an undergraduate, I assisted my peers with developing effective learning strategies to improve their understanding of various subject matter. I believe this is very important and helpful because everyone has a different method of learning and creating a learning strategy helps to accomplish an adequate understanding of the subject matter.
