I am a graduate of Oregon State University-Cascades with a B.Sc. in Biology. Currently, I am working at Thermo-Fisher Scientific as a lab technician with their formulation and process development team. I have six years of tutoring experience, primarily with high school and college level students for math and science, and I am the founder and lead tutor at Central Oregon Tutoring, a tutoring agency connecting Central Oregon students with the highest quality academic mentorship available. Subjects I have tutored include Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calc and Calculus, Statistics, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biology, Microbiology, and Genetics. When starting out with a new student, I will sit down and talk about any specific problem areas in their class(es) to see which aspects of their learning should be emphasized most during our sessions. Then we will look through their assignment schedule and set up a study plan specific to their needs (this usually takes up to an hour and I do not charge for it). Additionally, I dedicate 1-2 hr a week per student for making study materials and upcoming test or quiz prep problem sets. I am passionate about teaching and I value my time spent tutoring as preparation for a teaching position later in life. All of the study materials I create will be culled directly from content discussed in a student's class so your time will be spent focusing on the material most relevant to your learning.
I was born in Central Texas where I lived for the first 12 years of my life before moving to Bend, where I have spent the last 16 years. In my spare time, I like to camp, hike, and do most outdoor activities, typical Bend-ite stuff! I have an immense appreciation for learning, teaching, and academia in general. I take my role as a tutor seriously and strive to ensure not only a satisfactory grade but also a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts contained within each student's learning needs.
