I am an undergraduate student at Nova Southeastern University. I am majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Global Engagement and Exercise Science. I have been admitted to their Dual Admission BS/DO Program and their Razor's Edge Global Scholarship Program. I plan to attend medical school and become a Physician. Throughout my educational career, I have always enjoyed learning and believe it to be a component to a better quality of life. This has made me a passionate tutor as I wish to help others reach their desired goals and obtain an appreciation for education.
I attended South Elgin High School where I tutored my fellow peers in various subjects. Throughout this experience, I realized that there is a difference between muscle memory and a deep understanding. Simply knowing what to do when understanding subjects isn't enough if you don't understand why you are doing it. Therefore, as tutor I aim to help students understand what they are doing when they are accomplishing problems and developing a muscle memory so that they can tackle harder, more critical thinking questions when they are thrown at them. I believe it is important to explain things in terms that students can relate to/ understand better than just memorizing a definition.
