Experience

I recently graduated from the University of Illinois, Chicago, and am in the process of entering medical school to become a pediatrician. My bachelor's degree is in biological sciences, which I received with distinction from my honors college. As someone with an extensive background in education, I'm very passion about tutoring and helping people overcome their challenges in the classroom. I've been involved in tutoring in some form or another since I was a high school student. I've also worked as a volunteer at a local children's hospital, where my responsibilities included helping children not fall behind on their classwork when admitted in the hospital. Even though I've taught a lot of subjects in math and sciences, my favorite topic to tutor is chemistry. I find chemistry to be a fascinating field that requires critical thinking and problem-solving skills in order to succeed. I like to teach chemistry to students in a way where they need to solve a puzzle, and as the teacher, it's my job to help them along the way. I'm a believer in a student-centered classroom that goes beyond memorization. For this reason, I like to include a number of games, hands-on activities, and teaching strategies that make my lessons interesting and more engaging.
