I recently graduated from the University of California, Irvine with a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences, and I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Nursing from West Coast University. I am able to tutor a variety of subjects, but I am most passionate about science and history. I first started developing a passion for tutoring when I was in high school. It began when I first tutored for a year at an elementary school, where I helped teach basic math. Shortly after that, I began tutoring through the California Scholarship Federation in my high school for two years. During this time, I tutored many students in a variety of subjects, including Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Biology, Chemistry, and History. These were great experiences for me, as I loved being able to help students improve in their classes and reach their academic goals. I tutored many of the same students week after week, and I enjoyed being able to see how much they improved throughout the school year. My favorite part was being able to see that moment where it went from a student being frustrated or unable to understand a concept, to that kind of aha moment where the concept began to click for them. I loved being able to see a student achieve their goals, as well as overcome a subject or topic that was once such a great point of frustration. I am a firm proponent of education, and believe that it is my responsibility as a tutor to help students expand their knowledge and reach their personal academic goals. In my free time, I enjoy yoga, running, playing with my dogs, volunteering, and bowling.
