Although I spend a lot of time with "my nose in the books," I pounce on any excuse to go outdoors during my free time. I play soccer and lacrosse, go rock climbing, hike, surf and white water kayak- but don't worry, not at all at...

Besides her lab work, she helped teach an upper level microscopy course...

...Molecular and Human Biology. Performing research, assisting classes, and organizing seminars during graduate school inspired me to pursue a temporary job as an adjunct professor upon returning to the U.S. Teaching here in New York City has better enhanced my pedagogical skills and has taught me a great deal about the differences between group learning scenarios and one-on-one tutoring sessions. I am ever committed to better enhancing your understanding of the biological and chemical sciences.

The greatest satisfaction is seeing my students get that "ah ha!" moment...

...importance of instilling scientific knowledge in our future generations, so it is my goal to help students overcome any struggles or intimidation of the subject. I aim to do this by encouraging the same interest and curiosity in the subject that has lead me to pursue a career in biology. I believe that the key to conquering all things science is to be curious about the world around us and how it all works.

...the same questions. I quickly learned that the professors were simply reading off slides; taking little time to explain difficult mechanisms and concepts. As such, few students were learning the material, and almost all of them needed a tutor to re-explain the material. As a result, I developed the ability to tutor at a pace that matches the students' needs. I truly mean it when I say I take my tutoring seriously, and I do...

...leads to a better understanding as one builds new topics on previous ones. I have found that students have the most success in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they become second nature. Like the subjects that I teach, I believe that education is an ongoing and ever-growing component that is necessary for a happy and fulfilling...
