I am currently a student at UC San Diego studying Neurobiology, with plans in getting a double major in Business Economics. My current coursework includes rigorous science coursework including calculus based physics, general chemistry, calculus, and statistics. My current schedule this quarter involves organic chemistry and genetics as well as an economics class.
In high school, I completed 11 AP's, and earning myself a 4.24 GPA, as well as getting the AP Scholar with Distinction recognition. My academic background in the math and sciences has given me a strong foundation to help students understand concepts rather than memorizing formulas and steps.
My teaching experience comes primarily from being the head coach of a youth wrestling team called Folsom Wrestling Academy. I worked with children of different ages and skill levels, leading practices and facilitating a nurturing learning environment. Coaching taught me how to be patient and break complex skills into smaller, manageable steps. I learned that different people respond to different stimuli, and I plan to practice these skills in my tutoring.
I want students to understand why things work so they can take skills further into their classes and build independence and confidence in themselves. I hope to create a comfortable learning environment in which students feel encouraged to ask questions and make mistakes, so that they can be corrected and learned from.
