Baylor Pre Med Student | Patient Math and Science Tutor

Kennah G.

I am currently a freshman at Baylor University on the pre med track, with a strong academic background and a particular strength in math and science. In high school, I graduated in the top 10% of my class and received College Board National Recognition, including the African American Recognition Award. My academic experiences have taught me that understanding a subject is about more than memorizing information. It is about finding a way of learning that makes sense to each student. I am patient, understanding, encouraging, and willing to explain a concept in multiple ways until it clicks. I understand that every student learns differently, so I try to create a comfortable environment where students feel confident asking questions, making mistakes, and working through difficult material without feeling judged or rushed.

My tutoring experience has mainly been one on one with younger children in my family and with friends throughout high school, particularly when they needed extra help understanding math and science concepts, completing assignments, or preparing for tests. One of my favorite tutoring methods is working through a problem with a student and then giving them similar problems so they can begin recognizing patterns and applying the concept independently. I also like connecting difficult or unfamiliar concepts to everyday situations, familiar ideas, or simple examples to make the material easier to understand and remember. Rather than simply giving students an answer, I ask questions and guide them through each step so they understand why an answer is correct and can eventually solve similar problems on their own. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students improve academically, but also to help them become more confident, independent learners who realize they are capable of understanding challenging material.
