Caltech, CMU, and USC-trained biomedical engineer who loves to tutor

Pallavi G.

I have spent five years teaching and tutoring, and have enjoyed every minute of it. I am passionate about math and science, and I am equally invested in helping my students gain a solid understanding of these subjects.

I have expressed my desire to continue to develop my love for communication and writing through obtaining degrees in both English and bioengineering. I hope to use this interest to better myself as a teacher because I understand the keystone to teaching is communication and the ability to clearly express one's ideas. I have practiced these proficiencies through research and leadership positions in both my undergraduate and graduate careers, where I learned to be adaptable and creative. My undergraduate school's honor code has also been a positive influence in my everyday life, and I hope to emphasize to students the satisfaction and drive one can obtain by working hard to maste
