I am available to tutor a variety of subjects in mathematics and biology, and I can also help my students prepare for both the verbal...

...a B.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Arizona. I've been on academic probation and truly understand what it's like to struggle with material. That struggle helps me to be a better teacher. I start medical school this fall, which goes to show that it does not matter if you have a difficult start. What does matter is how you choose to respond to challenges and what you do to overcome them.

My job is to work with students to figure out the best way to learn challenging material. This may involve breaking down complicated ideas into consumable parts, discussing concepts back and forth, or working through practice problems together. Ultimately, I believe that students should never feel unintelligent because they don't immediately grasp a concept. I am committed...

...Microbiology Lab, which was an expected but great honor for me to receive. I have held two very different chemistry based jobs (one that I am currently in now) since graduation in which I test drinking water and foods for a vast array of microbial agents and chemical compounds that are dangerous to the public. Using my experience in both academics, research and in my career, I have been able to tie in real world...

...and gives them enough understanding to be able to "teach" the topic. As someone who recently graduated Arizona State University with a B.S. in Microbiology, I understand the hardships that many students must face in large classroom learning environments and so I can relate to younger or more mature adult students. I have much experience in working in a lab setting where application and science work in tandem so I realize the necessity in flexibility...
