About Me

I have recently graduated from the Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida with a Bachelors degree in Biomedical Sciences. This upcoming year I am going to the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University to get an MS in Nutrition and Metabolism. I have been a tutor for college students for 2 years at my university, teaching Organic Chemistry 1 and General Chemistry. I've also helped high school students with college admission essays, and with kindergartners in the Junior Achievement program. I enjoy working with children and finding creative ways for them to learn the material and to try to inspire a desire to learn by making learning fun for them. I also really enjoy teaching general chemistry, because I find the material fascinating. When I tutor a student, I don't just give them the answers, but rather I guide them to the answers. It is important that a student learns how to find the answers themselves so they do not become dependent on outside sources.

Q&A with Esther

I believe that to be a good teacher, one must not just teach the material, but rather teach the student how they can find solutions independently. I like to ask my students gradual questions starting from the base so the student realizes they know more than they think and is able to gain the confidence of finding the answers by themselves. I continue to ask them questions guiding them towards the answer. Anyone can teach, and YouTube could do it just as well, but not everyone can teach a student to learn and to acquire the thought processes needed to come to an answer on their own.
