Science/Math Tutor
About
I have been tutroing for over six years. I tutored middle school students throughout high school and tutored university students in subjects including genetics, organic chemistry, biochemistry, human physiology and evolution throughout my time at UC Santa Cruz. I graduated with highest honors majoring in Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biolody and will be applying to medical school this year with hopes of becoming neonatologist, caring for sick or premature babies. I am an excellent tutor because I recognize multiple learning styles and make it a priority that my students feel comfortable telling me what they don't understand and also if I am not explaning something well. Most importantly, I care about whether my students succeed.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to gain understanding of where a student is by seeing how well they do on a few practice problems and asking them about how they believe they learn best. I then ask the student what they expect from me and also explain what I expect from them. All I ask is they come prepared to work and that they are honest about what they don't understand.
