About Kea


Bio

My name is Kea, and I am a full time Research Assistant at Kaiser Permanente. I graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa studying Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. Some of my favorite memories at UHM were studying Chinese and researching the targeting specificity of retrotransposons of maize. Outside of work and school, I like to play volleyball and read.

My name is Kea, and I am a full time Research Assistant at Kaiser Permanente. I graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa studying Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. Some of my favorite memories at UHM were studying Chinese and researching the targeting specificity of retrotransposons of maize. Outside of work and school, I like to play volleyball and read.

During college, I was a tutor for student athletes for 2 years in Organic Chemistry and 1 year in Biochemistry. As a student athlete in high school myself, I understood how difficult it was to juggle school, homework, your sport, and other extra curriculars.

When taking difficult classes, such as organic chemistry, I took matters into my own hands and studied almost every day, whether it was reviewing my notes for 10 minutes or doing practice problems from the textbook. I cultivated a work ethic that helps my students succeed, and I want that same thing for you.

As a Chinese major, I was fortunate enough not only to study at the university, but also attend two summer immersion programs in China, studying Chinese at a high level. In learning a different language and culture, I was beginning to understand how to better connect with people, opening my mind to their beliefs and principles. This was a valuable lesson, because it shifted my paradigm and allowed me to better understood people from all walks of life, giving me the tools to be a mindful and versatile tutor.

As a tutor, nothing gives me more joy that seeing these students put in the work and attaining the grades they deserve. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Nursing

I am currently a nursing student attending the prestigious University of Hawaii at Manoa's Nawson School of Nursing. I am on my last year in the program and have done well so far. I plan to take the NCLEX this fall ◡̈
Physiology

Physiology

I took pathophysiology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa's Nawson School of Nursing. In this rigorous course, we covered every system in the body as well as specific symptoms and treatments, which included immunology, cardiac, respiratory, nephrology, endocrine, gastrointestinal, biliary, neurology, cancer, genetics, and musculoskeletal. My final grade of an uncurved A in the course is a testament of my long hours of studying and detailed note-taking I put into studying and understanding the material.

Above and beyond tutor

I am so lucky I found Kea on Wyzant! I truly don't believe I would have succeeded in my organic chemistry course without her help. She was able to break down the chapters for me in a digestible manner while also addressing past chapters that I needed help with. I was able to learn so much information in such a short period of time because of her style of teaching. I'm extremely grateful for the time she put aside to help me with my final. Not only was she flexible with my schedule, but when I needed extra help right at the end she was able to meet very frequently early in the day and late at night. Organic chemistry is a very rigorous subject but with a tutor as knowledgeable as Kea I believe anyone can learn and succeed at it!
