Experience Summary
I am a recent graduate of St. Bonaventure University. I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Biology. Although I do not have formal experience in teaching I have greatly enjoyed helping others with science in my undergraduate years. I have assisted non-science majors with various science topics, especially biology, when they asked for help and have found that many have had a much better understanding of the topics at hand after I've helped them.
Teaching Style
I do my best to adapt to how the student learns most efficiently. I also greatly encourage for the student to speak during tutoring sessions; rather than I do all the talking, I believe it is greatly beneficial for the student to partake in discussions and ask questions.
I also do my best to incorporate hands-on activities with students. Unfortunately, I've found that many people find science to be intimidating and difficult. It is my goal to show students that science is, in fact, extremely interesting and fun. I wish to make it as engaging as possible to spark a students interest, captivate them, and make them curious about the scientific world.
My Hobbies
I have a great passion for photography. I love going out on hikes and taking pictures of whatever nature throws at me. I also greatly enjoy reading, sewing, drawing, playing video games, and caring for my fish tank.
Other Comments
I am a very kind, patient person. I love helping others and do not get easily annoyed; I am very willing to help a student and find different ways to convey a message if they are struggling with a certain concept.
