Fun Facts

One of my strongest values is compassion. I have been a vegan for nearly five years and am an advocate for both humans and animals. Another passion of mine is anime. I love learning Japanese through watching English subtitles. If I'm not studying or watching anime, I'm either reading a good book, journaling, or writing poetry. I'm a dabbler of many things!

About Me

I am a rising junior at Boston College with a major in Biology (B.S.) and English. Currently, I write for the College Magazine Network which is an online magazine targeted at college students and am possibly writing for the Life Science Journal here at my university. When I graduate college, I hope to continue utilizing my skills as a writer and perhaps become a journalist for a magazine such as National Geographic, an organization that is a happy marriage between both of my majors.

Experience

I tutored frequently during high school to mostly elementary and middle school students. Every week I would volunteer two hours to tutor math and writing/reading to a student who would be assigned to me at the beginning of the year. Later on I began tutoring in the form of helping different students with homework during after-school programs. Tutoring was such a rewarding experience, and I would love to continue to help students learn the best I can!

Approach

Through tutoring and learning how different students learn, I realized that most of the time it is not that the material is tough, but the way in which it was taught made it difficult to understand. My approach to tutoring, therefore, is one that makes challenging new material easier to understand, through the use of step-by-step explanations, analogies, images, and examples. Patience and encouragement are also key in motivating the student to keep trying.
