I am a graduate from Arizona State University, The Honors College, with a degree in Biochemistry and a minor in Global Health. I was awarded the Moeur award as I was able to complete university with a 4.0 GPA.
Since AP Chemistry and AP Biology in high school, I have developed a passion for these subjects. Moreover, in college, my desire to share my knowledge and help others in these tough subjects greatly strengthened. Therefore, I chose to tutor middle-school and high-school students in a variety of subjects. Out of all the subjects that I offer, I love to teach biology, chemistry, and algebra because of my expertise and excellent ability to accurately convey the concepts. I also offer tutoring for SAT Math sections since this closely corresponds to my interests.
Currently, I am an online peer mentor for first-year chemistry/biochemistry-degree students at ASU. This class has taught me many of the technical aspects of learning. From previous experiences, I learned that every student has their own learning style that they flourish in. While one might learn effectively with pictures, another student might grasp the concept with hands-on experience. My approach to tutoring is quite simple; after analyzing the student's strengths and weaknesses to create a mental record, I adapt my teaching style accordingly.
In my free time, I love to work out at the gym, volunteer at Hospice, and watch movies. These are the activities that continue to motivate and push me.
Lastly, I know that some students will either prefer a teacher-student interaction and some a student-student interaction. As long as the student is achieving his goals and gradually performing better, I can teach any way that student likes.
