Experience
I am a tutor with extensive experience studying and teaching science. I graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor's degree in microbiology. During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a teaching assistant. This allowed me to work with students individually, manage the classroom, and give lectures. The course I was responsible for teaching was principles of biology laboratory. I had twelve students in my class. Many of the students were not biology majors, and thus I made sure to design hand-drawn diagrams to accompany my lectures. I also gained experience by teaching fundamentals of microbiology laboratory. These students were more familiar with biology, but I still utilized hands-on demonstrations rather than simply relying on written notes. Overall, my philosophy as a tutor is very comprehensive. I believe students learn best when they are able to engage all their senses. Thus, I make sure that my students have the opportunity to listen, draw, speak, and write in my classes. This ensures that they're not just memorizing the facts, but truly understanding the concepts. I also place an emphasis on reaching my students on a personal level to make sure I understand the learning styles that work best for them. In my free time, I enjoy reading and art.
