Hi! My name is Abbas S. and I am an undergraduate student at Arizona State University studying Biomedical Sciences with a minor in Sustainability. Currently, I am participating in undergraduate research in the Environmental Biotechnology Center within Arizona State's Biodesign Institute.

I engage tutoring from a student first prioritization and perspective. This involves and encourages students to express confidence and control engaging in oftentimes rigorous coursework. Also, I value the importance of the student choosing the best learning method in order for them to best retain the material. Students oftentimes feel comfort when being able to do this, as oftentimes this is not the method present within the classroom. Whether it be repetition of exercises or brief instruction on the course content before diving into more complex problems, the students should be able to recognize and communicate the teaching methods and practices that are of best fit.
I have served as a TA and former student for both Algebra 1 and 2 classes and have had the opportunity to engage in this material numerous times and in different settings. These mainly include peer reviewed tutoring as well as formalized tutoring. I have also taken and tutored in Calculus, which requires a strong sense and knowledge of Algebra within problem solving.
I had the opportunity to be in AP study clubs for all of these subjects below where I was able to collaborate with peers and communicate within the field of these Life Sciences. Furthermore, I am currently majoring in Biomedical Sciences, in which the core classes that lead to the upper and graduate level classes heavily rely on a strong background in these areas coherently.
I served as the president of the AP Literature Study Club, in which I was able to tutor and engage with peers in highly intellectual conversations depicting li
