Kross's Example Bio: View his Profile
“Hello, I'm Kross! I've been tutoring for several years now specializing in Math and Science. I'm majoring in Computer Science at College of the Canyons and plan to transfer to Michigan State or UCLA in the near future. One of my proudest moments as a tutor was when I had the opportunity to work for Hart High School's 4 year REACH program, where I taught students the skills to put them on a path to college. Lastly, I'm super excited to announce that I was chosen to work on a school project for NASA where we are going to be sending something into space. Schedule a tutoring session to start bringing those grades up!”
