About
I am have worked as a research scientist at Utah State Univerity for 2 years and am preparing to apply to medical school. I use a focused approach to help students develop strong problem solving skills. I have a pattern that I train students to use.
1. Identifying Key Concepts
2. Looking for Patterns
3. Disciplined Focus
Through this pattern, CDC tutoring seeks to help students excel in the sciences!
I love giving students the skills they need to acquire the knowledge they need to succeed! Watching a student start to comprehend material is amazing!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My tutoring begins before the new student and I meet. I ask new students to send me a course syllabus and a description of what they are struggling with. With that information in mind I develop a study plan and tutoring schedule that helps the student gain maximum comprehension of the material.
When we sit down in our first session, the first 15 mins are a discussion on what they are struggling with, then for the rest of the session, we dive into the material and practice study skills, work problems and review our weekly goals and plans for the material.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a graduate of Utah State with a Bachelors in science in Biochemistry. I minored in public health as well as successfully obtained a 516 on the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). I currently work in anesthesiology research at the University of Utah.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
