About Me

My passion for education has stemmed from my commitment to being a lifelong student! I graduated from Drew University with my Bachelor of Arts in Neuroscience and Biochemistry. After college I accepted a position at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine where I am a current fourth year medical student. As a proud lifelong learner, I know what it feels like to struggle through difficult content. Asking for help is a good thing, and the best tutors often have had tutors themselves! I have 10 years of teaching experience including subject tutoring at various academic centers, holding teaching positions for several college courses, and test preparation for standardized examinations. My students have ranged from pre-k to professional schooling (medical school, PA school, law school, etc.). The intricacies of the human body never cease to amaze me. For that reason my favorite subject to tutor is anatomy and physiology in hopes to share that passion with my students! With that being said, my teaching experience extends far beyond the sciences alone. I also have experience with standardized test preparation and love teaching people how to study effectively. Being a lifelong student myself, I understand that everyone learns differently. I work with each student to incorporate the methods that will help them achieve their goals. During the first session I take a few minutes to gather an understanding of what type of learner the student is (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.) before jumping right into the desired subject. Afterwards, a typical session with me includes content knowledge followed by some active learning. Research shows that passive techniques (reading, re-writing notes) are not as successful in building a long-term knowledge base. For this reason, I end each session with questions related to what we have covered so that the student can have the opportunity to both actively use the material and simulate a testing environment. Lastly, we end with reviewing the questions and summarizing what we have covered. If students are interested, we can also take the time to come up with a realistic study schedule and goals to attack before the following session. Outside of academia, I love playing frisbee with my dog, hiking, and painting! I look forward to meeting and working with you to achieve your academic goals.
