...California, Berkeley (Go Bears!) with a degree in Integrative Biology and an emphasis in Human Health. During my time there I took classes in just about every science subject they offered- which was reminiscent of High School, when I took just about every AP class my school offered.

...Spanish, but my favorites are English, History, and organizational skills. In my observations, I have always found that giving students proper organizing skills as their foundation for success allows them to reach their full academic potential.

I will infuse this goal within my tutoring sessions, engaging tutees to...

...next spring with a degree in Engineering Physics. Since I began tutoring, it has always been my philosophy to make sure the student understands a subject by breaking down concepts in the easiest way. My passion for the sciences drives me to not only teach what is on paper, but offer deeper insights to the material. I also love to laugh, and because of that, I try to make sessions light hearted, and less intimidating....
