My name is Annan and I'm a senior at Princeton University pursuing a degree in Molecular Biology. Although I mainly study biology, my course of study has fortunately allowed me to experience and learn material from other subjects such as Calculus, Economics, Spanish, Organic Chemistry, Computer Science, and American History. Whether its been drawing mechanisms for reactions or conjugating verbs, Ive always had a passion for learning and understanding.
My experience as a dedicated student with a knack for learning made me want to put my skills to good use by becoming an academic tutor. I started in high school as a peer mentor and weekly tutor for students struggling with learning Spanish, and since then Ive continued by tutoring at Princetons McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning. My experiences at McGraw helped me refine the characteristics and skills it takes to be a good tutor: patience, empathy, preparedness, and enthusiasm. I have experience tutoring students from grades K-college.
In my opinion, a tutors goal should be to help students develop and cultivate the learning methods that work best for them while keeping them as engaged as possible. Keeping this in mind allows students to leave sessions with an in depth understanding of their material.
