Leyder Science Tutoring
About
I am a recent graduate who also took the medical school entrance exam this past July. As such, all information pertaining to the basics of biology and chemistry are still fresh in my mind. I am excited to share this information and nurture a passion for science in any student I teach.
I enjoy tutoring and teaching in the STEM field because I feel that many students are turned away from STEM due to the teaching they receive and I would like to pull them back in by showing them how wonderful STEM can be!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to take a hands on approach teaching. First I want to know what the student knows and if there is any confusion. Then I like to work with the student to go over any material that is unclear and finally I like to question the student to see if the material has been retained and if they are able to come up with answers.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
MS Biotechnology with a concentration in Bioinformatics from Johns Hopkins University
BS with a double major in Biology and Biochemistry and a double minor in Neuroscience and Asian Studies from St. Mary's College of Maryland
