Test Prep, APs, STEM Tutoring
About
Hi, my name is Michael Zhang. I will be entering my junior year of college at Cornell University this fall, studying biological engineering. I have completed 2 years of undergraduate coursework, finishing the majority of my pre-medical and general education requirements. I graduated from Fayetteville-Manlius Highschool with a weighted GPA of ~101, taking all Honors level and AP classes. In high school, I took a total of 15 AP Exams, scoring 13 5s and 2 additional 4s, and got a 35 on my ACT. I have gotten an 800 on SAT II's of Chemistry, and Math II and 790 on Bio. I also have taken the SAT exams, receiving a 1510 (minimal preparation). I would be prepared to tutor almost any subject. I am currently studying for my MCAT exam and am looking for some part-time work as well. I really enjoy teaching and like breaking down complex topics into easier to digest parts. I was a STEM team lead at a summer camp in China, working with students that had limited English abilities. This helped me improve my patience when working with kids and made me look for different ways to explain things if they didn't understand. I will also be a teaching assistant for a Biochemistry class this upcoming fall.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Getting to know what their learning style is like, whether they are more visually or numerically orientated, and working off that. I want to learn more about them as a person and what is the trend of things that they struggle with, and hopefully address things from there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taught and developed a STEM curriculum for kids aged 7-12 in China. I also am a Teaching Assistant for Principles of Biochemistry.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
