Rizwan: Trenton tutor
Certified Tutor
Hi! Im Riz. I love helping students reach their academic goals, help them understand the concept and help them succeed in academics. I have completed my bachelor's in Cell and Molecular Biology from U.T Austin. I have worked in a research lab as an analyst. I worked in emergency department as a scribe. I have tutored many students who have improved significantly in their academic goals. I will find ways to help the student understand the concepts and work with each student as much as possible.
As a tutor, I can help you reach your academic goals, work with you one-on-one to help you understand the material that you are having trouble with. Let me help you with your math and science courses.
