    I am burnt out from tutoring chemistry, physics, math, biology and all the conceptual deficiencies of students that prevent them from understanding those things. There are only so many times that I end up having to essentially teach 10 years of math to catch up a student enough to survive the class theyre in before it takes its toll. And you do not want to know how many med students I have encountered that did not understand how to make solutions or calculate the rate medication should be given to not kill patients.

    I have tutored upward of 10,000 students this last year alone by my estimate. I need to take a break.

        Discord. Most of the tutoring doesnt take hours to fix. And because I tutor for free, I am not contractually obligated to waste a given amount of time if it turns out not to be necessary.
