About
Hello!
I am currently a Biochemistry Major, graduating college this upcoming spring, and am looking forward to making your education easier.
I work flexible hours, but consistent hours. My work with students includes being an academic mentor for matriculating freshmen, a hands-on leader and mentor for Army ROTC cadets, and the president of an honor society focused on community service.
When I am not studying or helping my friends, I am outdoors running or reading.
If you are interested in more information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My job is not only to ensure your grades improve, but that you understand the material. After discussing how you have tried learning a set of material, I ensure that you understand the basic concepts the build up to the topic at hand. At the same time, I hope I can bring an alternate way of viewing a topic that your teacher/professor hasn't shown you.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My job as an Academic Mentor for matriculating students at my college, forced me to show students alternate persepctives on topics they struggled with. At the same time, my goal was to teach study habits that aided all of the students that request my educational help.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My base rate is $25 per hour, but I encourage all interested students to contact me.
How did you get started teaching?
During high school I hit a learning plateau and struggled terribily. I did not get better until I spent hours with a professor that showed me how looking at a problem from as many perspectives as possible can help with learning ANTHING challenging. After applying the skills I learned as an Academic Mentor and seeing my students improved, I become more motivated in helping others.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
It is imperative that the teacher did not just complete the class, but performed well. At the same time, I believe it is important that the teacher applied the concepts outside of the classroom. I have been very fortunate to apply everything I've learned as a past researcher in a Cell Biology Lab, and during my experience of studying for the MCAT. I encourage you to ask your potential tutor about their past experience with the subject you are stuggling with.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I believe that a student does not need to struggle BEFORE getting help. In fact, going to a teacher about minor confusion before truly studying the material is absolutly fine. In academia, the end result is to learn as much as possible and perform as well as possible. It is your job to ask as many questions as possible, whether that be right after you learn something new or two weeks later.
