Harshini M - Tutor in Brooklyn

I am a postgraduate student at the University of Pretoria who is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Genetics. I am extremely passionate about the field of science and have a growing interest in cancer research. I believe that I am a motivated and hardworking individual and, although I come across as timid, I am easy-going, approachable and always willing to help others out where I can with a smile. Despite having pursued a career path in Science, I have always been passionate about Mathematics and thoroughly enjoyed the subject in high school, where I excelled at it. I therefore look forward to the opportunity to share my knowledge and passion for this subject through tutoring.
