...and middle school students. I found that it is not the content but how you learn it that really is important on test day. Among the skills I hope to pass along include how to memorize loads of information and mechanisms (this is for those aspiring Biologists out there), how to recognize patterns in Chemistry so that you only have to learn ONE mechanism instead of 100, how to know what equation is the right...

Another one of my favorite things is working with students from all walks of life; I've been happily tutoring and mentoring for more than four years.

By highlighting the student's strengths, understanding their weaknesses, and tailoring the instruction to their learning style, the...

I have a huge passion for teaching, as I also worked as a TA in biology and physics and would love to help you learn and also learn how you learn! My end goal is to make sure that you are independent and can build the skills you need to study on your own.

...seem silly to spend time going over the basics but I have learned that it is worth it. Too often, in a fast-paced class, a student may have missed something so simple that, once understood, makes the more complex problems suddenly seem much less intimidating.
