Victoria

I graduated with a Honor Degree in Neurobiology at Hunter College. I recently passed my MCAT and I am in the process of applying to medical school. I am a native French speaker and moved to the United States in 2008. I overcame a lot of challenges as I learned not only the English language but also the different academic subjects. I currently tutor biology and US/European history. Growing up in France, I have always seen history as an important subject with lots to be discovered and understood. Though I understand the dates and events can seem tedious, I like to explain it in a simple, fun way, the same way you would explain a fictional story--except it will be true! As for biology, I have always found it to be a subject full of challenge and eureka moment. I like to explain it using visual clues, colors, and relate the different mechanisms and concepts to real life examples.

Outside of academics, I love outdoor activities as much as relaxing with a book. I love art, which is very much reflected in my use of colors and drawings in my teaching style. Finally, I like to expand my knowledge of different culture by traveling, watching foreign films, going to Opera, etc. I also enjoy watching soccer and ice hockey.
