I am a pre-dental student at UConn!

Hansuja C.

As an Allied Health Sciences major at the University of Connecticut, I have developed a strong foundation in math and science, particularly in general chemistry and calculus. I have applied this academic background to my work at the university’s Quantitative Learning Center, where I served as a peer tutor for over two years. During this time, I supported students in chemistry and math, helping them strengthen their understanding of course material through individualized support, clear explanations, and collaborative problem-solving.

My tutoring experience has primarily involved working with undergraduate students in a one-on-one or small-group setting. I’ve learned to quickly identify a student’s areas of confusion and adapt my teaching style based on their learning needs—whether that means breaking down complex topics into simpler steps, using analogies, or guiding them through problems at their own pace. I strive to create a welcoming and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, no matter their background or confidence level in the subject.

In addition to academic tutoring, I’ve also developed strong interpersonal and communication skills through my involvement in leadership roles and volunteer work, including crisis intervention and peer advising. These experiences have strengthened my ability to connect with people, listen actively, and provide thoughtful, student-centered support. Altogether, I bring a strong academic background, over two years of tutoring experience, and a genuine desire to help others succeed.
