Claire: Westmont tutor

Certified Tutor

I graduated in May 2015 from Saint Louis University with a Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry and a minor in French. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Science degree in chemistry with an emphasis in biochemistry at University of Missouri- St. Louis. I have volunteered as a tutor for the past four years through a program called Urban Future. During this experience, I tutored below grade level middle school students on strengthening mathematical skills. I enjoyed making a difference in students’ lives and watching their grades improve. I tutor life science, biology, arithmetic, elementary math, middle school math, and pre-algebra. Science and math are my favorite subjects to tutor because they can be difficult, and I can relate to students who are frustrated with the subjects. I believe my patience makes me a great tutor because I am willing to try different approaches to explain difficult topics to struggling students until they comprehend. I am extremely passionate about both science and math, and I would love to help students reach their goals in these subjects. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, ice skating, and learning other languages.
