Kyle: East Orange tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm a senior working towards B.S. in Biology, secondary major in Spanish, and minors in chemistry and bioethics at Case Western Reserve University. I'm originally from Naperville, IL, and attended Neuqua Valley and IMSA. I have several years of tutoring experience with high school students in biology, chemistry, and writing, as well as teaching experience with nursing and pre-medical college students, teaching biology and chemistry as a Supplemental Instruction Leader and Teaching Assistant. The subjects I tutor are the subjects I love; biology, chemistry, Spanish, and the LSAT. My approach to tutoring is to ensure the student is able to dynamically problem-solve by and for themselves and walks away with a deeper understanding of not just the "what" of the material but the "why". I believe it's important to understand the student's goals in the wider context of what the course or exam will ask of them, and tailor my approach to their individual learning style and needs. Resources I typically use include worksheets I create with conceptual and factual problems for the student to work through, building from small concepts like definitions up towards more challenging problems to check their understanding requiring synthesis and application of several concepts.
