About Me
I am an undergraduate at UC Santa Cruz who is majoring in Global and Community Health with a biomedical concentration. I received my IB Diploma with a total score of 39, with my Higher Level classes in Biology, Math, and English Literature. Additionally, I scored a 1450 on the SAT and received a merit award from my high school.
My approach for tutoring to help the student find methods that work for them to understand broad ideas and develop the skills to tackle problems they haven’t seen before. I’ve helped my classmates succeed in math, biology, and chemistry by working slowly through challenging problems, sharing tips and tricks to understanding a question, and providing practice questions to work on certain skills.

Tutoring Experience
I have tutored online for biology and mathematics, tutoring students from elementary to college level. I have created lesson plans from my previous tutoring sessions, using problems from students’ homework, syllabuses for students’ classes, and also taking into account what method of learning best suits the student (such as visual or kinesthetic learning).
