...where I majored in biology and minored in chemistry. Having gone to small schools my whole life, I believe in the power of small group/individual interactions for learning.

I prefer to guide students through their problems to help them learn the skills needed for...

Additionally, as someone who played Division III basketball in college, I have also been doing private basketball lessons where many of the same concepts, albeit in a different context, of tutoring school subjects apply. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball,...

...a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. I have experience tutoring college students in both biology and even more so in chemistry, which is my favorite school subject. I think anyone can understand chemistry with the right explanations and effort.

And if the student doesn’t truly want to learn the material, then it’s important to ask why that is, and how to change that mindset—because as “useless” as many students think learning how to, say, calculate an integral or write an essay analyzing Austen is, most of the skills they pick up along the way do serve some purpose later in life,...
