As a tutor, Mika employs the "TEACH" approach, emphasizing trust, empowerment, appreciation, communication, and humor to motivate and engage students.

In her experience, a tutor's goal is not just to teach; it’s to train you in the best attack process possible.

In her free time, Mika loves to roller skate, dance, and play board games with friends. She is also a lifelong learner and is particularly interested in classical, medieval, and Victorian-era history.
