Hi everyone! My name is Mandy, and I am committed to helping you in your academic voyage. I am excited to share knowledge with anyone who wants to learn.

I graduated from University of Texas at San Antonio in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences. Throughout my academic career, I have helped tutor fellow colleagues in math and science. While studying, I came to realize that I understood the concepts better when I was able to help others understand the same concept.

I have noticed that people can become frustrated with math and sciences. These fields tend to be more challenging because they build off preceding lessons. Missing one block could consequently lead to the foundation being unstable and ultimately crumbling. I have the capability to break the material down and present it to which you can relate and understand using prior knowledge and life experiences. In addition, I mentor students on test taking skills and studying skills, while increasing their confidence in not only the material but themselves. Furthermore, I have experience tutoring those with ADD/ADHD.

Anyone you encounter has been in the same place as you are now, but this is why we are here because someone took the time to help us too. This is why I would love the opportunity to help you achieve your goal in succeeding in your academic career.
