I am capable of using many methods of teaching in order to help my students succeed! I normally begin by assessing the basis of an individual's understanding on a topic and go from there. Practice makes perfect! I don't mind making sample questions or coming up with fun examples to help you remember tricky subjects.
I am a recent college graduate with degrees in both Biology and Psychology. I have 3-4 years of Biology laboratory experience, as well as 1-2 years of large-group and individual teaching/tutoring experience at the university level. I have additional experience in teaching effective study habits and have many school survival tips. It makes me incredibly happy to see hardworking students gain the skills they need to succeed!
As we are presently amidst a global pandemic, I will only be conducting virtual tutoring sessions. If any cancellations need to be made, please let me know as soon as you can.
