About
I have been tutoring Anatomy and Physiology I&II, Neuroanatomy, and Gross Anatomy for almost 4 years now. My end goal is to become a Gross Anatomy instructor for Medical Schools.
I am currently working at a dermatology office to expand my knowledge of the skin of the human body. The skin is can be a complicated organ, so I want to retain as much knowledge as I can, so I can pass it on to my students.
I teach anatomy in a way most of my students retain the information very well. I love Anatomy and Physiology and Neuroanatomy. I am here to make Anatomy fun to learn. Yes it's a hard subject. I accommodate to my students' learning abilities. I can only hope to give students' a better understanding of the human body because its pretty awesome.
I enjoy the "light bulb" moment my students' get when they finally understand the material!
I enjoy drawing diagrams and pathways for students to better understand the human body.
I do like to ask questions a lot to see if they are retaining the information, but I'm going to be rude about it. If my student didnt understand this certain section, I will figure out another way for them to understand it.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First: I try to understand how they are comprehending the material (visual learner or listening learner).

Third: I love to ask questions throughout the lessons to make sure the student is understanding the material.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have tutored A&P I/II for 4 years.
I was a paid Teacher's Assistant for Human Cadaver Dissection at a D1 college.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
35 dollars per lesson
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching when a professor saw how well rounded my knowledge of Anatomy is when I was enrolled in Neuroanatomy and Human Cadaver Dissection. She gave me a job offer of becoming a Student Instructor for her A&P classes. I soon fell in love with teaching anatomy to students.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with graduate students and undergraduate students in college.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
My advice does not stress out of Anatomy. Yes, it is a hard subject and it will always be a hard subject. Everyone learns anatomy differently. Many of my students shut down after one bad grade, but I guarantee you that one bad grade does not dictate your final grade at all.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Ask any questions. There is no limit and never be afraid to ask.
