I am a medical doctor looking to get away from the field. I love to teach and work well with students of all ages. I can teach a variety of subjects and am willing to work with any student eager to learn.

The most rewarding part of tutoring for me is when a new concept “clicks” with a student - their excitement is contagious, and it’s a privilege to be able to help them reach that point! On a more personal level, I am a friendly, outdoorsy, athletic, and talkative type of person! I partner with students on a one-on-one basis in STEM subjects through SoFlo Tutors, my tutoring agency. I studied Economics at the University of St. Andrews and have been tutoring for 2 years. At SoFlo, we know that Math and Science tend to build on t
