"As a PhD student, I've been exposed to many different teaching styles and understand from first hand experience that some students need teaching tailored to their learning style to succeed. During my undergraduate schooling at UNC Chapel Hill, I was a learning assistant/teaching assistant for Anatomy and Physiology for 2 semesters where I got experience teaching in both classroom and one on one settings.

As a tutor, I specialize in the sciences as I have a B.S. in Biology, minor in Chemistry, and am now pursuing a PhD in Cancer Immunology. However, I am also a great resource for other sciences and math as well! My approach to teaching focuses on engagement with material and strategies to understand the content learned, rather than memorize it. While memorization can have its place, I believe understanding material is the best way to remember it long term. I use frequent "check-ins" with students and am always happy to back up or rephrase to ensure the pace is appropriate. Additionally, I'm a visual learner so I'm always eager to provide visual aids to students who need them." less...
