Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Chrissy, and I am an incoming medical student. I recently graduated from the University of Richmond with a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and a minor in Health Studies. Throughout college, I developed a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology while balancing rigorous coursework, extracurricular activities, and MCAT preparation. Because I have recently completed many of these courses myself, I understand the challenges students face when balancing difficult classes, standardized tests, and busy schedules. In addition to traditional science subjects, I also tutor EMT coursework and National Registry exam preparation.
Over the past several years, I have worked with middle school, high school, and college students in both one-on-one and virtual settings. As an SAT and MCAT tutor, I have helped students strengthen their understanding of challenging concepts while building effective study habits and test-taking strategies. I believe that tutoring is not just about providing answers, but about helping students develop confidence and learn how to approach problems independently.
My teaching style focuses on adapting to each student's individual learning needs. Some students learn best through practice problems, while others benefit from visual explanations, step-by-step walkthroughs, or connecting concepts to real-world examples. I work to identify a student's strengths and the areas where they may need additional support so that each session is tailored to their goals. I also emphasize study skills, organization, and confidence-building, helping students develop strategies they can continue using outside of tutoring sessions.
Whether I am helping prepare for an exam, improve performance in a course, or build study habits, my goal is to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and gaining confidence in their abilities.
