I recently completed my PhD in Molecular Genetics and Genomics at Washington University in St. Louis, where my research focused on cancer biology, molecular genetics, and functional genomics. I also have a B.A. in Computational Biology and Genomics from WashU. My research has given me extensive experience in cell and molecular biology, genetics, microscopy, experimental design, and data analysis. I am comfortable tutoring general biology as well as genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, or other related topics.
Teaching and mentoring have been a regular part of my academic experience. During graduate school, I trained undergraduate students and newer members of my lab in experimental techniques, study design, troubleshooting, and data analysis. I have also been a teacher's assistant at the graduate level, teaching lessons, assisting with homework, and providing study materials for class. Much of this involved working one-on-one with students and adjusting my explanations based on their level of understanding. I enjoy taking a complicated topic and breaking it down into smaller pieces so that it is easier to understand and apply.
I have worked with students in both undergraduate research and graduate research settings, and I am comfortable working with high school and college students. My goal when tutoring is to help students understand why something works rather than just memorize an answer. I also want students to feel comfortable asking questions and working through problems without feeling like they are expected to know everything right away.
