I began tutoring when I was in high school to earn volunteer hours! I did that for about 4 years and it was such a fulfilling experience. I started off as a tutor and then moved on to running the program for the non profit. I've on to tutoring at another organization and it was a treat! I have experience from ages 8-18 :)
