I have >10 years of experience tutoring high school, college, and graduate students in math and science. My favorite subjects to tutor include: statistics, chemistry, biology, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus. I do not offer physics tutoring.

I practice the "I do, we do, you do" method while tutoring. Over the years, I have noticed most students I work with experience test anxiety and second-guess their answers. Therefore, utilizing this methodology allows students to feel comfortable with course material and gain confidence in their skills to succeed in school.

Additionally, I emphasize the importance of having students begin to consider, and hopefully identify their preferred learning style and studying methods. I believe knowing your preferred method of learning will help students as they continue their education, and it allows me to cater each lesson to your student's needs. I also stress the importance of organization skills and keeping one's work neat and organized. This allows students to develop a pattern in their work, providing them with comfort when solving problems on their own.

I graduated with a dual Bachelors of Science in biology and chemistry, as a distinguished scholar of my university with high honors. I have a Masters of Public Health in epidemiology and certificate in human rights from Emory University in Atlanta.

Please note I only offer ONLINE lessons.

Statistics

I have 7+ years experience studying and tutoring statistics and probability. Surprisingly, epidemiology is a lot of math so I frequently use poisson and binomial distributions to describe health data from populations. Please let me know if you are looking for help with a lab component too- I am familiar with some statistical packages.

Biochemistry

I was a double major in biology and chemistry for undergrad so I had a unique experience taking both the bio and chem versions of biochem. My biology biochem class was very focused on amino acids and the physiologic impact while my chemistry biochem class emphasized biological reactions, chemical structures, and the energetics behind those important reactions!
