...undergraduate student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I'm currently working on a Bachelor of Science majoring in Biopsychology and minoring in Spanish.

I promote a fun and engaging learning environment where students get the opportunity to learn from each other and actively participate in sessions.

...and the student is willing to do so. I know what it's like to struggle with concepts that seem daunting from the outset, so I like to balance important qualities like patience, empathy, and explanatory actions while pushing students to persevere and overcome the academic challenges they face. Academic achievements are not just for certain people; anyone can improve their academic output. The more confident a student is with a subject, the better their classroom...

...not on the court or the field, I'm usually behind a computer screen. Having two younger siblings, I've been tutoring in some capacity for my entire life.

...graduate with an undergrad degree in History and a minor in African-American Studies. As a historian, I see the challenge in getting young people interested in History; not because the History is boring, but more so because each student digests the information differently. I feel that History can be and fun and engaging topic if the right teaching/tutoring method is employed and tailored for the student struggling. I am passionate about learning from the past...

...University of Chicago. In June, I received a B.A. in History with a focus on the American Revolution. Over the years, I have seen many classmates and peers fall behind or fail to make progress in school because they had trouble understanding certain concepts on their own. They almost invariably benefitted from being walked through the logic of the subject by a helping hand who had the right knowledge and experience. My hope, as a...

...On a personal note, education holds a very high importance to me. I have earned a History degree and have a double minor in English and Political Science. I have several graduate hours in American History and Global Leadership. I feel that furthering my education at the graduate level benefits me not only academically, but it also helps me better relate to students as I too face the challenges of schoolwork. I am very passionate...

...students towards a common goal. I focus on biology, but I can also help in writing and composition. I love learning and teaching biology because of the relevance it has to each and every one of us. Sometimes school can leave a person's understanding of a subject full of holes.
