About Manori

I've worked 5+ yrs as a tutor (Math, Science, English, & SAT prep), and have worked with kids in elementary, middle, & high school. I graduated in the top 10% of my class, got all 5's in 9 AP exams, and scored in the 99% on the SAT. I went to Cornell University, graduating magna cum laude, and recently finished medical school (M. D.) What the degrees don't show, however, is how I'm also someone who's really struggled. I had severe ADHD all my life (diagnosed just last year, after graduating med school), and I only got where I am due to the support of my wonderful parents and a team of amazing mentors & tutors along the way. I know what it's like to feel defeated and have low confidence in school; I also know how the right support really helps someone soar. Whatever the subject--math, science, etc.--kids are intelligent and capable. Often they just need help figuring out how to learn or approach a topic. I love doing this with them, in the same way so many did for me as I was growing
