Wai Sum

Certified Tutor

In 2019, I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a double major in environmental studies and dental hygiene. I'm a dental hygiene resident at UNC Adams School of Dentistry and studying to be dental hygiene educator. My thesis and research is focused on environmentally sustainable dental practices. Part of my graduate student duties is to educate and tutor adult learners on subjects such oral pathology, microbiology, tooth anatomy, and clinical skills. I also have experience educating and tutoring learners from grades pre-k to 12 on subjects that range from writing/reading to math. Educating and learning is for everyone but sometimes it's about finding the method that works for you. Personal understanding of what learning methods work and willingness to explore is key to lifelong academic success and development.
