I am a current sophomore at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology. I plan on following up my undergraduate degree with graduate studies in Virology or Immunology. As a current student, I have had to spend countless hours perfecting my study habits and working through many difficult concepts on my own. This helps immensely when it comes to tutoring, as I have personal knowledge of some of the struggles students are facing. I tutor general biology at a college and high school level, and this includes AP Biology prep. I also tutor for standardized college entry exams, particularly the ACT. I enjoy biology simply because of the fascinating subject matter, but I especially enjoy test prep because it allows me to really explore the thought process that goes on behind analyzing and answering the test questions. I strive to help all of my students not only find the right answers, but to equip them to think critically and perform well on all tests and in their future studies. Outside of school, I enjoy watching basketball and cooking shows, and I have also started distance running, having completed my first marathon this past fall with more planned in the future.
