About Zed


Bio

I currently work as an instructional assistant within a writing program at UC Merced, and as a research assistant for a neuroscience lab. As a student, I have always been interested in a balance in the humanities and sciences. Writing has always been a strong point for me, and I have a very intuitive understanding in the mechanics of structure and rhetoric that makes an effective writer.

I currently work as an instructional assistant within a writing program at UC Merced, and as a research assistant for a neuroscience lab. As a student, I have always been interested in a balance in the humanities and sciences. Writing has always been a strong point for me, and I have a very intuitive understanding in the mechanics of structure and rhetoric that makes an effective writer.

In becoming a more balanced student, I have excelled in the sciences-- particular biology and chemistry. I have tutored in writing & reading comprehension, math (pre-algebra, algebra & geometry), biology and chemistry. I have a broad range of clients, from the ages of 10, all the way to adults in their 30's. I have taught students who are former delinquents trying to put a step forward, to young adults striving to improve their grades or test scores.

I am passionate about helping people achieve their goals, because my energy resonates from my own desire to continually improve my own self. I am a positive, and upbeat mentor who can provide reliable feedback and program for anyone struggling with issues in classes relevant to what I can instruct.

Because I have immersed myself in the sciences, I can offer a way of teaching that is very versatile not only to math courses, but to subjects that include math such as chemistry and physics.

I used to be a premed student, which requires an extensive exploration of multiple topics within biology. Having said that, biology is a field I am very knowledgeable in, and I can provide a network of instruction that will allow a student to understand the emergent aspects of biology necessary to grasping more challenging and defined concepts.

Because of my current position as an instructional assistant, I have an advanced approach to multiple disciplines in writing from fiction to non-fiction, essays to abstracts. I have experience teaching writing not only to college and graduate students, but also to young adults trying to improve their reading comprehension and writing skills.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I've been tutoring algebra for 3 years now.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Algebra 2 consist of a series of ways of breaking down problems that require critical thinking skills and examining steps for moving forward. I have 3 years of experience helping students connect practical applications of algebra so that I not only help them with assignments, but also grasp the conceptual framework behind the math. This allows students to take more confidence in their ability to look at a problem and identify the unknown and given aspects of the equations.
Biology

Biology

Having once been a premed student, biology was a hallmark of my undergraduate experience. Now, as a neuroscience major hoping to move forward to a grad program, I have continued to include biology into my understanding of the brain. That said, I have 5 years of experience tutoring students in biology from high school students to fellow undergrads.
Bodybuilding

Bodybuilding

Bodybuilding has been a hallmark of my path to wellness. It has provided me with a strict routine of diet and exercise towards very defined and finite goals. Having said that, I have almost 5 years of experience as a bodybuilder and almost 2 years as a powerlifter. I think the best approach is to maintain an equitable balance between volume and intensity to achieve a natural, functional physique.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I currently work as an instructional assistant at a writing center at UC Merced, where I help undergrads and grad students in various disciplines with their writing needs. However, I have in the past worked with kids in developing the fundamentals of reading and writing. I also have experience tutoring kids in elementary math through algebra.
Reading

Reading

I currently work as an instructional assistant for a writing center at a University of California campus. Among some of the goals of this position, I strive to help clients conceptualize the significance of the elements of structure, rhetoric and purpose of select readings or topics. Beyond this, I have 5 years of teaching reading skills to peers or clients.
Writing

Writing

I currently work as an instructional assistant at the Merritt Writing Program of UC Merced, wherein I serve as a teacher assistant to a college level writing course, as well as a tutor with office hours available to students across all disciplines.
