Experience
I have been an After School Tutor for two years at few different learning centers. I am passionate about science and medical discoveries. Currently, I teach ACT math and science courses at a private learning center. I help students with homework help ranging from English and writing to math and science. Also, I have also taught fun science experiments to middle and high school students. They enjoy all my interactive science experiments. I find teaching quite rewarding when my students understands the concept or idea. As a teacher, I personalize my lesson plans to most effectively engage my student's learning style. I was very active during my undergraduate career. I was president of my non-profit public health organization that brings volunteers, educational, and hygienic supplies to rural Honduras. I have been given scholarships and awards for working with my communities. If you are interested in becoming a medical doctor or dentist, I am very knowledgable and have mentored other students to this career path. I am a diligent student and would love to teach students good study and organizational skills. I have a wealth of resources for students interested in science research and community service. I have helped students with college admissions and essay writing. I can tutor these high school level and upper-division college courses: General/Honors/AP Biology General Chemistry Organic Chemistry General Biochemistry Fundamentals of Cell Biology Introduction to Developmental Biology Introduction to Genetics Microbiology Molecular Biology Developmental Biology Introduction to Neuroscience Ecology and Conservation Biology Cellular Neuroscience Pathogenic Microbiology Microbiology Laboratory Advance Molecular Biology Cancer Biology
