Experience Summary
I graduated from Binghamton University (SUNY) in 2008 with a double degree in Linguistics (B.A.) and Neuroscience (B.S.). After working as a behavioral neuroscience research technician for nearly two years, I pursued a position in 2010 at Cornell University within their Behavioral and Evolutionary Neuroscience program. I am currently a doctoral student in Neuroscience at Tufts University Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, pursuing my dissertation research in a biochemistry lab studying GABA receptor structure and function.
I have been tutoring the sciences since my undergraduate years at Binghamton. I have worked with students in a wide variety of coursework, ranging from linguistics (anthropological and psycholinguistic) to the harder sciences (including biology, chemistry, basic neuroscience, and experimental psychology). My tutoring and teaching experience, however, has focused predominantly on organic chemistry, where I have helped upwards of 300 students.
Teaching Style
I have worked within a wide expanse of teaching environments, from small group settings and classroom teaching (including lecture-based learning), down to individualized, one-on-one sessions. I have an arsenal of old exams, pre-made practice exams, and enough problemsets to keep you occupied until retirement, and am determined to help each student achieve the best possible suite of study skills, conceptual mastery, and critical thinking that will allow him/her to succeed.
