Experience

I attended college at the University of California and earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry. While earning my degree, I had the opportunity to conduct biochemical and genetic research at UCLA and the University of Washington. While my main academic focus is on mathematics and the different sciences, I have a great deal of passion for chemistry. Tutoring students is something that I have always cared for, as I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others to help them reach their academic goals. I commit myself to ensuring that all students that I work with are able to comprehend the subject matter being reviewed and leave our tutoring sessions with a solid grasp of each concept that was gone over during the session. In addition to educating students on the general concepts being discussed, I also spend time preparing them for testing. Using a combination of covering overall content and problem solving techniques, I am able to help prepare students to enter an examination with all of the tools they need to do well. I feel that it is important to cover multiple aspects of education techniques in a tutoring session to ensure that each student is reaching their full potential.
