My name is Shamel Basaria, and I went to Vanderbilt University where I majored in neuroscience and physics. At Vanderbilt, I held various teaching assistant roles in science courses, including in a dual undergraduate and graduate neuroscience course. I also served as a Section Leader for Stanford's Code-in-Place initiative to teach the world how to code in Python (3 years). Since graduating, I have tutored elementary, middle, and high school students in mathematics subjects ranging from 3rd grade math to AP/SSAT/SAT/ACT/MCAT exam preparation. I work with students to explain topics that they would like to understand, explaining concepts in more than one way with plentiful examples to be able to solidify knowledge. I focus on first conceptual and then applied understanding that utilizes those concepts. I love working with students and seeing their minds open as they start to understand confusing topics, and my aim is to make the learning process a bit more fun for students. I have worked with elementary, middle, and high school students, and below are my qualifications and courses that I have taken that I am confident teaching: Mathematics: elementary school math all the way through AP Calculus BC and post-AP calculus math like Multivariable Calculus Physics: AP Physics C: Mechanics, AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, advanced electricity and magnetism Chemistry: General chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, bioinorganic chemistry Biology: General biology, introduction to neuroscience, neurological diseases, immunology Psychology/sociology: General psychology Coding: Python Highlights: 100th percentile scores in physics/general chemistry/organic chemistry section of MCAT, 96th percentile for biology/biochemistry MCAT; scientific researcher at Yale School of Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
