Experience

I am a graduate the University of Pittsburgh with a BS in bioengineering. I am a Philadelphia local and am now back in the area in my first year of a master's program for infectious diseases at Drexel University College of Medicine. I have tutored my younger siblings in various science and math subjects, and I acted as a teaching assistant in a circuits lab for two years. This involved me helping individual students understand their assignments and apply them to actual circuits as a learning exercise. Additionally, I wrote unit plans for physics and chemistry curricula used by BSG Foundation Schools in Thailand. I want to be a tutor because I find the moment when a student can logically solve a problem correctly to be incredibly rewarding. I have seen that even the brightest students may require one-to-one lessons to learn difficult concepts. One of the greatest benefits of tutoring is that I can ensure that a student understands the logic and reasoning behind an answer and does not simply regurgitate solutions from an answer key. I especially enjoy making science fun to students by applying what they learn to popular science news, which helps them see their school work as important and relevant, as well as interesting.
