I earned my bachelor's degree in Biology on the pre-med track from Texas Tech University, along with a minor in Chemistry, and I am currently pursuing my graduate education in Public Health at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. My academic background has given me a strong foundation in biology, psychology, chemistry, and quantitative reasoning. I also earned a 34 composite score on the ACT with a 36 superscore, giving me firsthand experience with the preparation and test-taking strategies needed to perform well on standardized exams.
I have experience working directly with students in both academic and mentoring settings. At Texas Tech, I served as a Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader, helping students understand course material and work through difficult concepts. I have also tutored through San Antonio Match and worked one-on-one with younger students as an Assistant Scoutmaster. These different experiences have taught me that students learn in different ways, so I adjust my approach to the individual rather than using the same method for everyone.
My tutoring approach starts by determining what a student already understands. From there, I begin with the most basic building blocks of a topic and gradually connect them until the student develops a complete understanding. I focus not only on getting the right answer, but also on understanding why it is right and developing a process the student can use independently. I would bring this approach to tutoring ACT, PSAT, Biology, and Psychology students.
