Experience
I am a 2015 graduate of the University of Virginia, where I received my Bachelor's of Science degree in biochemistry and a minor in biology. I graduated a member of Phi Beta Kappa. While in college, I was on a pre-medicine track, and I am currently applying to various MD programs around the country. As of now I am living in Richmond, VA, where I also work as a medical scribe. In the past I held a series of paid and unpaid teaching positions for science classes, where I realized I had a talent and passion for helping students succeed in their classes. These positions include one-on-one tutoring sessions, being a teaching assistant for lecture classes, and aiding other teaching assistants in lab classes. Through these experiences I became proficient in many different teaching styles, allowing me to cater to a variety of different types of students. My approach to tutoring is to provide high quality education using an interactive teaching plan. My goal is to create an active learning experience where I first guide students through difficult concepts and then reinforce these concepts through problem solving. I usually start with a problem that requires knowledge of the subject, and lead the student through it. Over time, as the student becomes more familiar with the concept enough to solve problems him-/herself, I can remove myself from the equation. My hope is that through me my students can develop good studying habits and a passion for learning and the sciences.
