"I'm Emma! I graduated magna cum laude from University of California San Diego with a Bachelor's degree in Human Biology. I am currently in my gap years before applying to medical school and am working as a medical assistant.

In regards to academic teaching roles, I served as an Instructional Assistant for a Cellular Neurobiology course at UCSD during my last year as an undergraduate. My responsibilities included holding weekly office hours, holding pre-exam review sessions, and fielding student questions during discussions and exams. From breaking difficult concepts down to identifying gaps in students’ knowledges, it is through this position that I practiced and refined my teaching abilities. My approach emphasizes understanding core scientific principles, developing critical reasoning skills, and creating efficient study plans tailored to each student’s learning style. I am also a big believer in “learning by doing,” so I leave ample time for practice problems at the end of each session.

I thoroughly understand that, in a time where getting into college and medical school is more challenging than ever, a reliable mentor becomes that much more valuable. As such, I am eager to support students through their various academic endeavors and empower them to reach their full potentials. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any additional questions, suggestions, or to schedule a lesson!" less...
