Certified Tutor
I had a focus on biology related subjects throughout college and my post-bacc program. I also have extensive experience in teaching chemistry and genetics.
I developed skills sets in epidemiological and biostatistical data analysis through the Icahn School of Medicine and hope to start Law School in the years to come.

What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is to try and make any subject just a tiny bit more enjoyable for the student. Everyone has their own personal learning style and pace, and I try my best to adjust accordingly to anyone's needs.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I typically try to learn a little about the student. I ask about school and hobbies. I try to understand from where the difficulties of the subject are arising and go from there.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I do my best to not only help with their area of needs but to also learn skills on critical thinking to apply elsewhere.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
I usually find some common interests between the student and myself. If we continue to work hard, I encourage breaks where we can have discussions on those common interests and likes. I may even reward a larger break if we continue to work diligently.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Practice Practice Practice. Within a reasonable timeframe. I would also try to give them new perspectives and on how to look at a said skill/concept.
