About Me

I have 2+ years in tutoring experience, and while in college, I worked as a General Chemistry, Biochemistry, and General Chemistry, lab/teaching assistant. This experience that l gained in college fostered my knowledge to be able to create my own research that led to me discovering a potential cure for Fanconi Anemia patients that present with cancer, due to my passions to become a Pediatric Oncologist to fight the battle of childhood cancer. Due to this astonishing experience and discovery, my goal as a tutor is to give my students the abilities and skills to reach their goals and full potential by assisting them with learning the materials and topics in Math, English, Science, and psychology/social sciences that may be challenging, and turning those topics into something that is easily obtainable to master by providing them with the resources they need tailored to their learning styles. I am most passionate about teaching Math, English, Science, such as Biology, and Psychology, because I believe that the subjects are all interconnected to one another, and are vital subjects to have knowledge on due to the fact that they are fundamentally included in a variety of career fields. For instance, in order to conduct certain scientific experiments, you need to employ strategies of math to solve biology and chemistry based problems, and it is also vital to know different psychological concepts to interpret different scientific research questions. I believe that these subjects allow students to express themselves in a unique way. I will create practical real-life examples and practice problems that can help them understand content better, and reinforce content knowledge that they are learning at school in a speed and manner that is most understandable to them. I firmly consider the fact that education is vital to a child's and adolescent's self-growth and self-actualization, enhanced quality of life, and gives individuals the confidence they need to reach their goals. My teaching philosophy will be based on the concept of "self-efficacy", which is an individual's belief in their ability to succeed in specific situations or accomplish a task. When a student struggles with certain concepts and subjects in school, due to certain factors like self-efficacy, or only being taught a subject matter in one way that is not particularly tailored to their learning style or doesn't resonate with them on a deeper level, it can cause students to experience doubt in their capabilities to reach their goals or career aspirations in life. As a tutor, I want to provide students with that extra support and guidance that they need to succeed in the concept areas that they are struggling in, to restore their hope and confidence in their capabilities and talents so they experience fulfillment to go after their life long goals and to continue to dream big, so that they do not feel the need to reduce their goals or stop dreaming of what they can become in this world. My hobbies including reading to continue to further enhance my knowledge, participating in arts and crafts, playing tennis, and spending time with family and friends.
