Hobbies
My favorite part of tutoring is that it allows me to help young people grow and develop intellectual curiosity and self-confidence that help make even day-to-day life more exciting and interesting! I am very passionate about travel, politics, and learning foreign languages (Arabic in particular). I also enjoy hiking and backpacking, along with debate and public speaking activities.
