About Me

Experience Summary

I currently tutor a high school student in algebra I. I am an expert in math and skipped two years of math when I was in middle school. In addition, I have experience in science courses, as I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition from Case Western Reserve University in 2007 and I am a current pre-medical student working towards a masters degree in Medical Physiology from Case Western Reserve University. I also worked for two years at the National Institutes of Health as a postbaccalaureate research fellow. I scored in the top 4% on the PCAT in 2012.

Teaching Style

Studies show that students learn best by teaching. I utilize this by having the student teach the subject back to me and correcting them as they do. I pay attention to parts the student is incorrect in and clarify those sections for them. I also believe that a good way to learn is through practice and I help the student go through several practice questions, particularly sections that the student is having problems in. I pay attention to trends in mistakes the student is making and help them pay more attention to prevent these mistakes.

My Hobbies

reading, violin
