Christina: Villa Park tutor

Certified Tutor

I received my Bachelors Degree in Biology at St. Edward's University, and received my Master of Science in Entrepreneurial Technology at the University of Notre Dame. I have loved science all my life! When I was younger I wanted to be a veterinarian, so to get exposure with animals, I worked at the zoo for four years. I learned a lot, and was able to share my knowledge with the campers during the summer. Finishing high school, and going into college, I still loved science, especially biology, but my focus shifted towards the human body. Not only did I excel in my classes, but I was again given the opportunity to share my knowledge by becoming a tutor, a teaching assistant in the biology labs, and even a supplemental instructor for some of the beginner courses. My passion for sharing everything I've learned has been stifled in the past year or so, so I am excited for the opportunity to continue tutoring. I like to make my sessions engaging, but also circle back to the big picture. I know that I was always curious about where a lesson was going, and I want to make sure any students I help has an understanding for why the current topic is so important. I know studying can seem boring and some subjects seem too difficult to ever understand, but I promise to help keep our sessions fun and informative.
