Hi, my name is Mukshud Ahamed and I attend Wesleyan University. My strengths lie within the sciences and math Throughout the years, I have found myself naturally in the position to tutor my peers. It helps me learn the material better, and I enjoy helping out others. As a tutor, I value the fundamental principles of any subject and attempt to teach the content in a style that is interesting and applicable to real life situations. I am personable, easygoing, patient and knowledgeable. Having these characteristics suits me well as a tutor.
