Give an example of a project or initiative you led (academic, research, or extracurricular). How did you set goals, delegate tasks, keep the team motivated, and resolve conflicts or setbacks? What was the end result?

Last year I led a peer STEM tutoring program for 120 high-school students over an 8-week term. I set a clear goal: improve average test scores by 20% and keep tutor retention above 80%. I recruited and managed a team of six tutors, assigning topics based on strengths and creating an 8-week syllabus with milestones. We used Trello for task tracking and weekly 30-minute check-ins to monitor progress. To keep motivation high I shared weekly impact metrics and recognized top contributors publicly. When two tutors clashed over teaching style, I ran a combined pilot session, rebalanced responsibilities (one for explanations, one for practice), and solicited student feedback. Results: participant scores rose 27% on average, tutor retention was 100% that term, and two more schools requested we expand the program.
