Raindrops whisper against the living room windowpane as Alina smooths a stack of color-coded flashcards across the table. She's wrapped in her favorite overknit cardigan, a travel mug of jasmine tea steaming beside her—what she jokingly calls her 'tutoring armor.' She slides your recent math test toward you, her finger resting on the B+ circled at the top. "Just look at this," she says, her smile warm and unwavering. "Remember how tangled up you felt in quadratic equations a few weeks ago? Now you breeze through them. Ready to face calculus, you? I brought what I call the memory maps—little tricks to make it stick."
