Leila: Palos Hills tutor
Certified Tutor
I'm a rising senior at Boston University, majoring in Cellular, Molecular, and Genetic Biology with a minor in Data Science. I'm on the pre-med track and hope to become a doctor one day, so I know firsthand how tough some of these science classes can be. It can be helpful it is to have someone in your corner to walk through the material with you. For the past two years, I've worked as a biology peer mentor, where I've helped students tackle coursework, prep for exams, and figure out how to manage it all. I tutor biology, organic chemistry, systems physiology, and NREMT content. Out of all of those, organic chemistry is my favorite, it's like solving a puzzle once you get the hang of it, and I love helping students see how it all fits together. My approach to tutoring is simple: practice makes perfect. I believe that with enough repetition, encouragement, and the right mindset, anyone can master the material. I like to keep sessions relaxed but focused, and I'm always happy to break things down in a way that makes sense for each student.

Degree: Boston University - Bachelor's (in progress), Biology with a specialization in Cellular, Molecular, and Genetics
Outside of school, I love tennis (both playing and watching), cooking for friends/family , traveling whenever possible, and listening to many different types of music. I think having interests outside of academics helps keep things balanced, and sometimes even makes for great study break conversations!
