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 have had the experience of teaching students of all ages: kindergarteners, elementary schoolers, middle schoolers, high schoolers, and adults. I have also taught students whose primary language is not English. Each age group has required a different style of approach, so I cannot comment on my teaching style in full here, but suffice it to say that I cater my teaching style to match the student's age, academic skill, and time.
I graduated with an MA in English (TESOL), and a BA in English Composition (writing). I have had a successful career as an English Instructor. My notable areas of expertise include writing (essays, GREs, SATs, TOEFLs, resume writing, etc.), grammar/linguistics, reading skills, oral communication, and vocabulary development. I am proficient in several foreign languages as well: Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), Korean, and some Spanish.

I love helping students. With my strong, positive feelings towards higher education, I believe every student should take pride in their studies and enjoy the material; and educational material can only be enjoyed if it is understood! I honestly believe that students need to put in the effort to learn themselves. If there isn't a basis of knowledge to go on (whether understood or not), the student would not benefit from tutoring. A tutor's job is not to TEACH the student, it is to help the student understand the material that has been taught and/or read. I refuse to "do the homework" for the student, because I have learned from experience (mostly personal) that this method does not help a student understand.
Education has always been an important element of my life. I earned a BS in Forensic Chemistry, with a dual major in Criminal Justice. I followed by attending graduate sc ... read more
