About
Hello! I am a recent college graduate who is on a gap year before attending medical school next fall. I have a variety of teaching experience ranging from traditional one-on-one tutoring, acting as a teaching assistant at a college level, and designing and implementing my own curricula to a full class. My expertise lay in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics and statitistics and we can together on college-entrence essays and smart study skills. I have been working with children since 2012 and I have been working in education since 2014 with middle school, high school, college, and non traditional students. I hope to continue with you! Please reach out with any questions or inquiries. References available.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My first meeting with a new student has little academic focus (so it's free!). We just talk about our interests outside of the classroom. It's important I humanize myself and ensure my students feel comfortable with me! Then we will discuss my student's goals. We identify any anxieties surrounding the subject and make a clear plan to attack them. The ending of our first meeting involves creating a study calander which outlines what I expect my student to complete before meeting again. This involves organizing the material, making me a copy of the syllabus, and preparing what they would like to review.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a B.A. in Biology from Wesleyan University, where I was pre-med. I have tutored organic chemistry, general chemistry, biology, biochemistry and statistics. For multiple semesters I acted as the intro bio and elementary statistics teaching assistant. Additionally, I was a T.E.U. fellow for which I participated in a pedagogy for high school science education and then designed and implemented a curricula for the local magnet school. While studying abroad I designed the lab curricula for the University of Glasgow's physics class.
