"I am an aspiring tutor who has recently left academia. I earned a master’s degree in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior, as well as an undergraduate degree in Zoology. During my studies, I achieved high marks in many Math, Chemistry, and Biology courses. I believe my recent experience as a student gives me a unique perspective, allowing me to better understand how to support current students.

I have taught for a total of three years as an Assistant Instructor in a classroom setting, and I have also spent eight months as a peer tutor, providing one-on-one or small group sessions.

During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a peer tutor for Trio Support Services, where I personalized my approach to meet the needs of a diverse group of students. As an Assistant Instructor in graduate school, I led large classroom laboratory exercises, gaining valuable experience in guiding students through complex material and addressing knowledge gaps on the spot which I believe is a skill that is especially helpful when tutoring students in curricula from other instructors." less...
