I have lived in more than 10 countries and have more than 15 years of teaching and tutoring experience in different subjects. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Biology, Health Science and a Master's degree in Oriental Medicine.

I have taught Language Arts/Literature/Social Studies/World History to 6th-10th graders, in Saint Joseph School, an American School in Dominican Republic.

I have also done student teaching as part of the Honors program in BYUH, teaching a freshman course.
Post graduation, I had worked at the Provo School District, in Utah, as a Paraeducator, a Student Advocate, as well as an After School and Summer School Instructor.

Besides that, I have more than 15 years of tutoring experience, tutoring in different classes (Biology, Mathematics, Science, Foreign Languages, Art, History, and more).

Having parents that place a great emphasis in achieving higher education, I graduated from high school at the age of 15 years old and was accepted in National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, for a degree in Life Science Biology. While studying in Taiwan, I offered individual tutoring for Spanish and English to college students and adults who wanted to improve their knowledge on the language.

After two years of studying in Taiwan, I decided to expand my horizons in education and applied for Brigham Young University Hawaii for a double major in Psychology and Biology Pre Med. During the time I spent studying in Brigham Young University Hawaii, I worked for the Counseling Department as a tutor for a variety of subjects; from foreign languages (such as Chinese and Spanish) to general education (such as psychology, biology, history, art, math, etc.). I also worked as an Academic Advisor’s Assistant, where I could help my fellow students in a career choice, as well as practice my office skills.

I have always enjoyed teaching and helping others to learn. I don't believe in "I can't do it" or

Biology

Biology

I have been a tutor for over 15 years, with a BAS in Psychology, BS in Biology & Health Science, and a Masters Degree in Oriental Medicine. My students usually pull up their grades from a F up to a C+, that's how much I help them understand the subject. Eventually they reach a B or A depending on how much effort they put into it. My specialty is to adjust the teaching method on the subject, to the student's learning ability. I believe everyone can learn, they just have different ways to do it. I also focus on the student's need, which is something most students nowadays don't obtain at school from their teachers
