Hi, I'm Is! I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Biology and Medical Anthropology, and a minor in Chemistry. I am currently pursuing an MD. Throughout college, I was a Teaching Assistant for 100+ capacity intro Genetics and Biology Laboratory courses. In these roles, I 1) graded exam papers, 2) held office hours, and 3) held one-on-one tutoring sessions. I also have four years of research experience working in basic science laboratories where I trained in genetics while mentoring undergraduate students.
As your tutor, I am here to help you succeed using proven study methods in a focused, supportive environment.
I have a passion for tutoring that manifests in my approach to teaching. I begin by getting a sense of where the limits of a student's understanding lies. From there, I use a combination of tailored lesson plans and evidence-based study techniques to address weak spots. Active recall, spaced repetition, and errorful learning are among the techniques I employ in my tutoring sessions.
=> At the collegiate level, I tutor in Anatomy, Biochemistry, Biology, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Genetics, and will peer review essays.
=> For high school students, I have experience with one-on-one tutoring in regular/AP Biology, and can tutor in Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Algebra, Honors/AP English Lit, and Spanish 1.
I expect a lot from my tutees, and they expect a lot from me. I welcome any resources or suggestions you can provide that might improve your learning experience. I am easily reachable and will get back to you within 24h.
