About Me

I found my passion for teaching students about a year ago and have loved it ever since. I have experience teaching and tutoring general chemistry and organic chemistry at Arizona State University (I do practice better lab safety than what my photo would suggest). However, I do have a solid foundation within the fields of biochemistry and biology courses. I enjoy all sciences and really enjoy helping students find their passion for the sciences. I strongly believe in the student finding the answers to their own questions with the help of a few guiding questions I ask. However, I am able to adapt to any learning style in order to benefit the student. I started my academic career at Arizona State University three years ago. I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Health Sciences with a minor in Spanish and another minor in Nutrition and Healthy Living. I hope to attend medical school after I graduate and become a physician of some sort. I currently hold an officer position in the American Medical Student Association at ASU and currently work as an organic chemistry instructional aide (similar to a TA). I am currently conducting research for my Barrett Honors thesis on the effects of the hunger hormone ghrelin and its effects on metabolic demands and body composition. I am very fortunate to be able to have my own research study as an undergrad and am very passionate about this field of study. On a more personal note, I am a big Star Wars fan and love everything about it. I enjoy outdoor recreational activities such as camping, hiking, and recreational shooting. Pretty much, anything outdoors I am all for it (except rock climbing, I don't do heights). I look forward to meeting all sorts of students and helping them succeed in their own academic endeavors.

Q&A with Stephen

My teaching philosophy is centered around facilitated discovery. I do not simply give out the answers, but instead I guide the student through questions so the student can logically come to the answers for their own questions. How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension? Breaking down tough sections in a book into simpler sentences with easier to understand words.
