  Tutor

  In the midst of the pandemic, I began to tutor students who needed help or to just get ahead for free through my own program Sunshine Tutoring Project, and another organization, Tutors4Talent. I've tutored French, Math, English, and comprehension, and am happy to keep tutoring as long as it's needed. After all, doing school online, no matter your age, is pretty dang tough - we could all use the help! I currently work at Aydin's Academy, a primary and secondary education tutoring agency.
