Undergraduate Neuroscience Major at USC

Maxwell L.

Hi I'm Maxwell! I am an undergraduate student at USC majoring in neuroscience. As a high schooler, I picked up a variety of techniques to study for tests from my peers who have already taken tests like APs and the SAT. These tips helped me better prepare for those exams and have allowed me to achieve 5s on multiple AP tests including Statistics, Chemistry, US History, and more subjects in addition to scoring 1550 on the SAT. In high school, I experienced firsthand how important it was for me to seek extra help from my teachers. When I was taking more advanced courses, I realized that to avoid falling behind, I needed additional assistance from my teachers and fellow classmates to figure out difficult material. My high school experience had shown me how I was willing to learn so long as the class content was interesting and fun to learn.

I spent four years in high school teaching English, both in-person and online. These classes have exposed me to students of all age groups, from children as young as 10 to senior citizens who are grandparents. In those classes, I helped many students with their pronunciation and learning new vocabulary words. My experience as a tutor in high school has given me an interest in helping more students learn and grow. I have learned to always be present and open to answering any questions that my students may have, and introduce new material in a simple and informative way.

As a tutor, I found joy in helping others succeed in learning what they want to learn. I really want to help students accomplish their academic goals in any way I can. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
