Fun Facts

I'm very musically inclined. I play the clarinet and sing a LOT, even though I'm tone deaf. It's a great thing to do to relieve stress and loads of fun!!! I'm also interested in learning about science/new-york/brooklyn">computer science, programming and modelling.

About Me

I'm a junior at Hunter College majoring in chemistry/biochemistry. So far, my major GPA is 4.0. After graduation, I hope to pursue a PhD in chemistry. My ultimate goal is to learn something new everyday!!!

(btw, my nickname is Gia or Jia, whichever is easier to remember)

I've been officially brooklyn">tutoring for 6 years so far. As a member of the Math National Honors Society, I tutored algebra, geometry, trig and calculus a few hours daily for 3 years. As a senior in high school, I fell in love with chemistry and started regularly brooklyn">tutoring in the subject. In college I've worked in both math and science brooklyn">tutoring centers available in the school, with more emphasis on Chemistry and Organic Chemistry.

My approach is primarily visual, as I find students grasp concepts more easily this way. I like to ask a lot of questions to make sure the student understands the topic. Moreover, I have students paraphrase what they have learned in their own words to help internalize concepts.
