Bio

Hello, everyone! I have been a tutor on WyzAnt for seven years, and I was also employed for two years as tutor for high school students at a school district (one year overlapped where I worked for both WyzAnt and the school district). Currently, I specialize in pre-nursing classes, including Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2, Microbiology, and General Chemistry 1 (or Introductory Chemistry).

Hello, everyone! I have been a tutor on WyzAnt for seven years, and I was also employed for two years as tutor for high school students at a school district (one year overlapped where I worked for both WyzAnt and the school district). Currently, I specialize in pre-nursing classes, including Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2, Microbiology, and General Chemistry 1 (or Introductory Chemistry). In addition, throughout my time as a tutor for WyzAnt, I have helped pre-nursing students with the nursing entrance exams: the HESI A2 and the ATI TEAS. I have personally taken the ATI TEAS test and especially the HESI A2 (so I definitely know what's expected of these tests)! (Please refer to my subject descriptions for the TEAS to see more details). I also gained medical experience via taking an EMT-Basic class in 2014; my volunteer experience as an EMT helps provide real-life applications of anatomy and physiology.
I also have tutored dozens of students in general undergraduate courses such as Composition 1 and 2, College Algebra, and General Biology.
I still am more than willing to help high school students in a wide range of subjects including anatomy and physiology for high school, microbiology for high school, biology (Pre-AP/Honors and non-honors), chemistry (Pre-AP/Honors and non-honors), Algebra 1 (Pre-AP/Honors and non-honors), Geometry (Pre-AP/Honors and non-honors), Algebra 2 (Pre-AP/Honors and non-honors), and English I-IV (Pre-AP for English I and 2 and advanced for English III and IV).

I graduated from University of Houston Victoria with a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice. I had planned on using my bachelor's degree to get into a second-degree BSN program (which is why I have experience in pre-nursing courses and nursing entrance exams). However, I decided that the first responder/EMT field was my true calling. I want to help students using my experiences with the TEAS and HESI A2 and pre-nursing courses to help them achieve their dreams of nursing school.

I prefer working with individual students, because I ca

I took Pre-AP English I and II from a top Fort Bend school and made A's in English for all four years of high school English. Throughout those four years, especially my junior and senior year, I helped many of my classmates during the research and writing process. I've also taken English in college and made A's. At my professional job at F.B.I.S.D., I tutor in all four levels of English, including Pre-AP and AP English. I love to edit, revise, and review papers constructively to improve grammar, vocabulary, flow, organization, and structure. This is one of the subjects I love to tutor in because it's exciting and interesting to read the styles of each individual and to help them write and analyze a beautiful paper.

Algebra 1

I have tutored high school students in Algebra 1 for four years! I earned A's in Algebra 1 in high school and consistently helped my friends obtain A's on tests by helping explain concepts to them. I believe Algebra 1 is the best math subject I can tutor, since I believe I have mastered it fully through both my experience as a tutor and my rigorous coursework during high school.
Biology,

Biology

During high school when I first took Biology, I absolutely adored the class and learning everything about the biological world around me. My classmates often sought my help because of my thorough understanding of the material and I was glad to help them. I finished the class with a high "A". When I entered college and took General Biology, I enjoyed learning even more about the subject. I finished my General Biology I class also with an "A". I have such a passion for Biology- I understand it in detail and I love learning new things about it every single day. I teach many students in Biology and I enjoy drawing diagrams, giving lots of examples, and having a little fun while I'm teaching it to them.

Chemistry is another fascinating subject to me and I have always enjoyed the Chemistry courses I have taken in high school and college. I thoroughly enjoy tutoring my students all levels of chemistry from elementary school science to General Chemistry I.

Lean is the best!!

I waited until my last lesson with Leah to write this review. I was very hesitant in the beginning because I was studying for my TEAS test and I wanted to make sure I had a tutor who was very well rounded and knew their stuff! I am very grateful I picked Leah because of her tutoring skills I was able to get a good grade on my first attempt at the TEAS. Thank you, Leah!!!!

Brianna, 15 lessons with Leah

Awesome!

Leah was really great! Once again works very patiently with me which I desperately need and I truly appreciate it!

Ameny, 3 lessons with Leah

Knowledgeable and patient tutor!

Leah taught me about stoichiometry, limiting reactants, molar mass, etc. I like how Leah types out the notes clearly and puts things into steps and then shares the notes with me. She is patient and works at my speed and overall explains things so well.

Awesome!

Leah was really great! Our first session went very well! I love the fact that she was able to explain things very thoroughly and was straight to the point. She also was very open to answering my questions when I got confused and took into consideration that I’m a slow learner when it comes to math in general. Looking forward to more sessions!

TEAS Review

Leah reviewed with me a huge deal of reading and science. She connects all the dots and I understood everything in a short time. I will continue studying with Leah till I finish the exam.
