What makes me a good mentor

I’ve taught at top-tier institutions including Harvard, Wellesley, and UPenn.

My teaching style is clear and to the point. I focus on breaking complex ideas into understandable concepts and meeting you at your level. I remember what it feels like to be a beginner, and I teach with that perspective in mind.
