Education
I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology, with a specialization in genetics from the University of Chicago. I graduated in 2015 with honors.
Experience
I have quite a few years of teaching experience under my belt and have worked for 3 companies as either a tutor or teacher. I have also worked as a teaching assistant for the University of Chicago where I had the opportunity to TA college/grad-level classes as well as a 3-month high school program. Before that, I was a volunteer health teacher for two years. I have experience teaching a wide range of students--from elementary school to graduate school students. I have taught and continue to teach because I genuinely enjoy it. My teaching style is fairly straightforward with a bit of humor incorporated. I'm very patient, which is often necessary for students not to shut down or feel discouraged. I know that the same teaching methods don't work for all students and I've learned to adapt to a variety of students (whether that involves something as simple as drawing for visual learners to building impromptu models out of office supplies for tactile learners). Additionally, I think writing curriculums has given me a unique perspective in terms of teaching. Whether you're looking for a tutor for yourself or for your child, I hope you'll try a session with me! If you're interested in knowing about my background in more detail, please see below: Currently, I work for an education company in Houston where I teach small classes, tutor in one-on-one settings, and write curriculums. I primarily teach math, science, English, and the SAT. Most recently, we just completed our 2 week SAT cram session over winter break. I also work concurrently for Catalyst Prep, where I teach 2-day SAT bootcamps to large student groups and tutor the SAT/ACT. Catalyst Prep definitely has a humor-filled curriculum, which has influenced my teaching style. Prior to that I worked for another company that focused on test prep, where I tutored students in the ACT, the SAT, and biology. After graduation, I was a teaching assistant for a program called RIBS, Research in Biological Sciences, in which I lectured on relevant biology topics, taught and demonstrated biology techniques, and helped small student groups with designing and implementing their final projects. I also graded assignments and exams. I followed-up with struggling students, tutoring them one-on-one. While I was at University of Chicago, I was a teaching assistant for Principles of Developmental Biology in which I taught weekly sessions, graded assignments, and helped create exams. I had both undergraduate and graduate school students in my class. I regularly tutored a few graduate and undergraduate students one-on-one during appointment-based office hours. For my first two years at the University of Chicago, I volunteered with Peer Health Exchange where I taught health-related workshops to 9th grade students in the South side of Chicago. After my first year, I was recruited into the pilot program, where we helped create a curriculum for 10th graders and implement it in order to ascertain the efficacy of a follow-up workshop. Relevant test scores (although at this point the SAT was a while ago and I've spent years tutoring it): SAT reading: 760 SAT math: 720 GRE composite score: 330 (98th percentile) GRE essay score: 6 (99th percentile) My hourly rates are based on the subject you would like to be tutored in: General single subject tutoring: $30/hour General tutoring (more than one subject): $37/hour SAT/ACT prep: $60/hour GRE prep: $50/hour For any standardized test prep, we will talk about your goals in advance. Typically I recommend committing to 10 hours, 18 hours, or 36 hours depending on your needs. I strongly recommend 2 hour sessions for SAT/ACT test prep, even if that means meeting fewer times. If you prefer 1 hour sessions, I can adjust my lesson plans accordingly. If you're looking for GRE prep, I'm more flexible given the age of the average GRE test taker and their large range of needs.
