...has unique talents, tendencies, and goals. There is an area of overlap between each school subject (even standardized tests, which require critical thinking!) and a student's goals, and it's usually bigger than it first appears.

In time, I'd hope to become the kind of tutor a student wants to impress, and...

...had long lasting tutoring experiences while attending ODU school in the following subjects: general chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, microbiology, etc. I was an undergraduate teaching assistant for organic chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology. I have maintained a 3.9 GPA throughout my B.S degree. I have been working with so many of these subjects that I know how to make potential students master the subjects. I will work closely with you to help you reach your goals.
