Cellular Biology Student at The University of Georgia

Sonakshi J.

I am currently a Cellular Biology major on the pre-med track at the University of Georgia, with a strong background in biological and medical sciences. I hold both Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certifications, which have given me practical experience in patient care and a deep understanding of human anatomy, physiology, and healthcare practices. I have also shadowed a pediatrician, which reinforced my passion for working with children and confirmed my goal of becoming a pediatrician. This experience gave me valuable insight into patient care, communication, and adapting medical knowledge to different developmental stages.

My tutoring experience includes working with elementary, middle, and high school students in subjects such as science, math, and reading comprehension. I enjoy working with kids and believe that creating a supportive learning environment is key to success. For younger students, I use interactive methods like games, visual aids, and real-world examples to keep them engaged. For middle and high school students, I focus on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, especially in biology and math. I help students understand biological processes using diagrams and step-by-step explanations, while in math, I emphasize patterns and accuracy through practice problems.

My teaching approach is patient and adaptable, catering to each student’s learning style and pace. I use charts and diagrams for visual learners and provide practice exercises for those who need repetition. My experience shadowing a pediatrician and working with younger students has enhanced my ability to explain complex concepts in simple ways. This combination of academic knowledge, real-world experience, and a passion for working with kids enables me to help students build confidence and achieve their academic goals.
