A Little Bit About Me...

I am a trained researcher in molecular biology, with a BS in Neurobiology, Physiology, & Behavior, and MS in Nutritional Biology. I spent some time as an undergraduate volunteering at a local teen center as a one-on-one tutor in math and English (essay writing). As a graduate student, I taught an upper-division laboratory course in current biotechnology applications related to protein and DNA analyses. I have also done several mentorships during my academic career, teaching and supervising undergraduates in basic research skills. As such, my areas of strength include a wide range of topics in the science field, and I am also highly competent in all math courses leading up to calculus, statistics included.
I am an empathetic listener with a penchant for learning. A successful tutor needs to be an effective listener, one who is capable of figuring out the solution from the student's ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a very empathetic teacher who gears my teaching based on the learner's needs. Each learner has a unique style of learning, and it is important for me as a tutor to cater to the learner's strengths. For example, if a learner is visual, I will use diagrams and flow charts to help teach the information. No matter what, I will find a way to cater to a learner's strengths to help him or her learn the material.
I went to UC Merced with the goal of pursuing an undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences, in order to prepare me for admission to a PharmD program. From my studies at UC Merced, I earned a 3.78 GPA, and gained admission to multiple PharmD programs in California. While my formal tutoring experience is limited, I have had various experience tutoring friends and leading study groups in subjects such as Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and English.
