Syeda
Certified Tutor
I am a University of Michigan College of Pharmacy and will be graduating this April with my Doctor of Pharmacy degree. One of the reasons I chose to go into pharmacy school was so that I could make a difference in people???s lives, no matter how big or small. That is also why I have a passion for tutoring, something I have been doing since 2012. I absolutely love seeing a student???s face light up with understanding and seeing him/her improve as time goes by. I think the best way to tutor is to find the root of the issue whether it???s time management, difficulty in understanding the material, or difficulty in applying the material; and then using different strategies to really address that issue in a collaborative manner in order to really help the student improve. As someone currently in graduate school, I have seen my peers struggle with subjects and struggled myself. Through this and my past experiences tutoring, I have come up with many different strategies for learning and ways to address a student???s different learning style as well. During my spare time, I love trying new things, completing jigsaw puzzles (my current challenge is a 2000 piece puzzle!), learning how to sew and make my own clothes, and just being outside and exploring the area.

What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy lies in getting to the root of the problem. I want to know exactly what the students are struggling with and help them specifically in that regard in order to see them improve.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would first want to address the student's concerns and questions, and also see if they had a particular learning style that would help me cater my strategies. I would also want to know what they wanted to get out of the tutoring session, so I could make sure to meet that need. Next I would develop a plan or outline to help that student improve before diving into the tutoring session.
