...University pursuing a PhD in Pharmacology. I have years of experience tutoring middle and High school students in the areas of Math, English, Biology and Chemistry.

...with students of all ages, and am capable of teaching more than just the sciences. In the past, I have taught students effective homework and test-taking skills. I also understand how to simplify complex ideas that might be difficult to grasp at first. Finally, I know how important it is for a student to remain motivated throughout this process, so I make sure to encourage all of my students during our sessions.

...the office saw a huge jump in successful grant applications and nearly tripled its number of successful applications in both the humanities and arts areas (whose students were almost entirely assigned to me).

I'm comfortable not only with tutoring, but also as a teacher, using a curriculum (including Common Core standards) to craft an individualized learning plan for a student and finding a variety of resources and lesson plan strategies that fit their learning styles to help them succeed. Given my experience, I'm also very comfortable working with students who are behind or overage for their grade, have reading...

I do not fit in stereotypical academic categories. I was a humanities focused liberal arts major, a graduate of the Great Books program at St. John's College. But there I rediscovered a love of math and science which has led me to pursue Physics. I am a hard science geek who loves to read, and I want to help students learn to love all subjects and succeed at them too.

...Biology and Chemistry. I love bringing a student out of their shell and having a conversation about the material. I think the best way for anyone to learn is to explain the new information in different ways that relate back to their own life and having a conversation about the material is the easiest way to do that. In my spare time, I love trying new food, cheering on the Washington Redskins and playing sports.
