I hold a bachelor’s degree and have completed a rigorous postbaccalaureate program in the sciences, earning a 4.0 GPA in upper-level courses such as microbiology, neurobiology, and immunology. My academic path required me to build a strong foundation in biology from the ground up, which gives me a unique ability to explain concepts in a way that connects with students who may feel overwhelmed. I also scored competitively on the MCAT, where biology is heavily tested, further solidifying my command of the subject.
I have tutored younger cousins and peers in high school and college-level STEM courses. These experiences taught me to adapt my approach based on a student’s needs, whether that meant breaking down complex processes like cellular respiration step by step, creating visual diagrams, or tying biology concepts to real-world applications.
As a tutor, I focus on building both understanding and confidence. I believe students learn best when they are encouraged to ask questions and see mistakes as opportunities for growth. My method combines active recall, practice questions, and discussion-based teaching so that students not only memorize facts but also develop the ability to apply them. Most importantly, I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel motivated to take ownership of their learning and discover the excitement within biology.
