Current Undergrad, Double in Integrative Biology and Anthropology

About Me

I'm an undergraduate at UC Berkeley with two years currently under my belt and the intention to double major in anthropology and biology. My focus is on understanding human biological and social origins through analysis of human artifacts, biological remains, and environmental reconstruction, with a parallel interest in preservation strategies. Outside of academics, I'm passionate about all manner of developing sciences and technologies as well as current events and the history behind them. When it comes to tutoring, I try to understand how a student is thinking about a problem before deciding on a specific course of action. My job isn't to be a second lecturer, and the reason that I'm there is often that simple lecture isn't sufficient, so going for an approach that is personalized for the student is essential.

Q&A with Jack

My job as a tutor is not to simply provide a second set of lectures on the material. Working one-on-one means that I have the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of how a student thinks through individual problems and concepts, and that understanding allows me to identify places in the thought process where I can make smaller clarifications rather than simply running through all of the material again. Ultimately, the ideal goal is to take conceptual patterns that a student is already comfortable with and apply them to the ideas at hand.
