I am a firm believer that all students learn differently and identifying how each student best learns is essential to his/her academic success. Therefore, as a tutor, I aim to specifically tailor my teaching style to each student in order to help them maximize their potential. Outside of academics, I enjoy exercising, playing basketball, cooking, and attending concerts and other live performances in the Philadelphia area.

I am an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt University, studying neuroscience and cognitive science in a double major, with a minor in saxophone performance. I have always had a fascination with the concept of understanding, which was a huge factor in the decision to be a neuroscience major. I am very interested in how people learn things, and how they understand the phenomena around them. Due to this fascination, I have spent many hours trying to figure out what makes certain learning technique...More

I am most passionate about general chemistry because it provides the foundation for thinking about chemical reactions between molecules; the knowledge of which all later chemistry subjects rely upon. In my experience teaching and tutoring, a mixture of conceptual discussions and problem solving has been most effective for helping struggling students. In addition, I have found that relating chemistry concepts and problems to topics that are familiar in our everyday lives is a great way to make se...More
