As a person of passion concerning academics, I am excited to devote my expertise to the subjects I have taken and mastered in my prior years of schooling. I have dealt with numerous students ranging from 10 to 25 years of age and am delighted to meet new, bright individuals wanting to increase their knowledge. I received my bachelor of science in psychology at the University of Michigan Dearborn and my bachelor of science in nursing. I am a cardiac nurse working 3 days a week, which makes my tutoring availability very flexible. My favorite subject to tutor has to be chemistry due to its applicable nature to everyday life. This makes it easier to understand conceptually, and I believe I know how to explain it in easy-to-understand terms. Regarding teaching styles, I usually like to get to know my students during our first session as a "freestyle" session to discover how they learn and plan my lessons for them accordingly. I am excited to meet my next students!

PhD Wayne State University • PhD University of Michigan-Dearborn
2+ Years Tutoring

I have eight years of experience teaching and tutoring Science, Math, and English to students ranging from middle school to college. I graduated with my PhD in Molecular Biology/Microbiology in 2020 from Wayne State University. During my graduate studies I taught undergraduate Introductory Biology Labs. I also served as a lead lecturer for Microbiology for one semester. Prior to graduate school, I received my BSc in Biology from University of Michigan, Dearborn in 2014. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored peers primarily in Biology and English courses. I also taught swim lessons to children of all ages for 5 years. I have worked with several ESL students, especially in English, Reading, and Writing. I also worked extensively with a peer who was visually impaired, which allowed me to come up with creative teaching strategies, such as building a cardboard model of a cell instead of looking at a cell through a microscope. Additionally, I have a 4-year old son with autism, have a deep understanding of his learning struggles, and have learned a wide variety of strategies to help him learn at his full potential. Thank you for taking the time to read about by background; I am excited to begin working with you!

I believe that the best in people is brought about only when an opportunity for learning opens new doors, inspires new adventures and let's in new possibilities. Without these new vistas can never be reached, doors will remain closed and people will shun new possibilities. Therefore, in striving to be the best you can be, you can open yourself up to the possibility of who you will be. Belief in oneself inspires the passion to consider the self as a means of your own transformation. Therefore, when striving to follow my passion for mathematics, the arts or the sciences, I use a multifaceted approach to learning. Whether more traditional or more progressive, I can lecture and lead or simply allow for your learning to unfold via engaging conversation with the material. When you can bring your enthusiasm, interest and love of the subject material, then teaching you how to hone these skills into a career or passion project you may be working on will be a door wide open. Will you open it?
