Ready to help! Well rounded, and patient PreMed graduate.

Hi! I'm passionate about education and critical thinking, and would love to help kids or adults in their pursuits. I have a diverse educational background with a minor in Social Sciences and a degree in Natural Sciences. My strongest areas are Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, as well as Psychology and English. I tutored for the Biology department and the Writing Center at UL. I'm applying to Medical School and can also offer assistance in Medical career guidance, or help in navigating for those aspiring to attend college.

I've learned through tutoring that kids and adults alike have so much potential and just need a little boost to get them there sometimes. I also know that in order to address concerns in learning, listening is a must. I'm a compassionate, encouraging, patient person and I love to help. My way of teaching is to lead the student to the answer, and show them how, not just what. A person who knows how to think is much more valuable to their own progress than one who's been told what to think.

I can absolutely help children or adults of any ages. I have a soft spot for kids and a sympathetic ear for adults who often have to work or raise a family while tending to their education.

When I started in college I was 18, newly married, and starting my first full time job. I had no idea the obstacles I'd placed in my own way, but fought, and quite literally at times, starved for my degree. I learned so much about the struggles and realities of a collegiate education. It took me seven years to earn my degree, many of which were also spent working two jobs. I'm studying to take the MCAT currently and can't wait to go to medical school. When I finished my undergraduate degree in 2009, I felt an astounding accomplishment but also a freedom. I had no textbooks, or assignments, but my desire to know has never waned. An insatiable curiosity about nearly everything drove my own self-directed study and I know will continue my entire life. Something I very much want to share with my students.

Study Skills

I've taken two courses in college on the Psychology of Learning. I've also had years to develop and refine my study skills which have gotten me through college. The most important aspects of study skills are time management, organization, and preparation; all of which I can help with.

Genetics

I will teach Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Genetics as they relate to transcription, translation, DNA and RNA structure and replicative machinery/organelles.

Education

The university of Louisiana at Lafayette

Excellent — I think it is crucial when having a tutor, to have one who you can depend on with sketching out a study plan, and always be on time. Mandi is that tutor. She knows what she's doing. I recommend her for anyone. She's really easy to work with.
