Experience
This past semester, I was a tutor at Seendio, which is an online tutoring center for Chinese students planning to study abroad at American Universities. My job was to not only correct basic mistakes in students' reading and writing, but it was also to educate students on American culture and other essential components which are necessary to function in American society. Prior to attending college, I was a tutor as part of my requirements for being a member of the National Honors Society, in which I tutored high school students on a variety of subjects ranging from basic algebra to European History for 10 hours every semester. I continue to have an immense passion for tutoring because it allows me to not only give back to the community and support students in succeeding in their academic careers, but it also allows me to learn new skills which I develop every session.

Hobbies
I have a great interest in learning new subjects and reading both fiction and non-fiction in my free time. Additionally, I have been playing guitar for 11 years and I often write new songs and play in a band with my friends. While attending Cornell University, I participated in the Cornell Boxing Club and became President my Senior Year. I hope to participate in Boxing again in the near future and develop my skills as a Boxer. Outside of these activities, I like hanging out with my friends and having fruitful conversations about a variety of different subjects.
