"I am currently a 3rd-year student at Columbia University, and I am pursuing a bachelor's degree in cellular & molecular biology. In the past, I have tutored middle and high school students in subjects such as math (algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus), biology, chemistry, and Spanish. I have also served as a mentor to lower-class students. I am extremely patient and understanding of the fact that all students have different backgrounds and different ways of connecting with the material they are trying to learn.
