"Hello! My name is Kattrina J., and I’m a pre-med biochemistry major with a strong passion for both learning and teaching. I find joy in sharing knowledge and helping others achieve their academic goals. With over 5–6 years of tutoring experience, I have worked with students of all ages—from early childhood through college and adult learners—across a variety of subjects, including mathematics, reading, writing, general chemistry, and college-level physics.

My tutoring journey began when I helped a nursing student master algebra to pass her entrance exam. Since then, I’ve worked with a young student to reach grade-level proficiency in reading and writing, assisted a college student in General Chemistry I, and supported another in College Physics I. Additionally, during my senior college courses, I delivered multiple teaching presentations and lectures, further refining my communication and instructional skills. I also served as an assistant teacher at a daycare, working with children from infancy through sixth grade—an experience that taught me the importance of patience, creativity, and adaptability.

I believe I am an effective tutor because of my empathetic, patient, and flexible teaching style. I understand that every student has a unique way of learning, so I tailor my lessons to fit individual needs. My approach focuses on breaking down complex concepts into simple, digestible steps and building understanding from there. I enjoy using fun mnemonic devices, relatable examples, and visual or auditory tools to make learning more engaging and memorable. I also emphasize application, ensuring that students not only understand the material but feel confident using it independently, whether solving equations, writing essays, or mastering science concepts.

My goal is always to create a supportive, encouraging environment where students feel confident and empowered. If you're looking for a tutor who is passionate, experienced, and committed to your success, I'm here to help!" less...
