I will work closely with you to help you reach your goals.

...for Microbiology of Human Disease for four semesters and Chemistry 101 for two semesters while in undergrad. These are peer-facilitated group review sessions designed to help students succeed in historically difficult courses.

...skills not yet learned. I break down concepts into smaller steps that are less intimidating. I also re-teach concepts that are usually forgotten from lower levels of math that are necessary to understand current concepts. I prefer to teach students concepts in an intuitive way versus a memorization way. In the long run, understanding mathematical concepts on an intuitive level will be remembered longer and will help with higher level math down the road. I...

...I have worked with students on a personal level as an on-call tutor, in a group setting as part of group of tutors assisting students, and on a professional level serving as their laboratory instructor.
