About Me

I graduated with magna cum laude honors from University of Oregon this last winter with my bachelor's degree in biology (with an emphasis in neuroscience and behavior)! Right now, I am taking a break from school to enjoy my last few months in my college town. I will be moving to the Sacramento area by late September. My ultimate goal is to attend medical school and become a psychiatrist.

Experience

I was a teaching assistant for an honor's biology sequence two years in a row. Biology is near and dear to my heart! I love the subject and I am very good at teaching it. I have also been able to teach chemistry at the college level through a program called UO Encore. In regards to guitar, I have played guitar for seven years of my life and would be able to teach a beginner player.

Approach

My approach is to ensure I never just give students the answer. I walk students through difficult concepts by asking questions. I am very practiced at leading students to the correct answer and not simply telling them it. With this style, a student working with me should be prepared to actively learn about the subject. I also bring an upbeat and positive attitude to all of my sessions as I want learning to fun as well as challenging for the student.
