Certified Tutor

Currently, I am an honors student at UNLV. I'm pursuing a major in biology and a minor in journalism. To give you an idea of what I can bring to the table, here is some of my background: In my four years of being a part of the Speech and Debate team, I have been assistant coach for two of those years. That experience allowed me to greatly expand my abilities as a mentor, as I had a lot of students with diverse backgrounds and learning styles under my wing. My years on this team have helped me harness and advance my skills in writing, editing, composing and creating any sort of composition (essays, cases, etc). I also geared my focuses to the sciences, as I was a part of science competitions such as Science Olympiad. My love for medicine is primarily what prompted me to pursue a degree in that field.
One thing I enjoy more than learning is teaching. I am a firm believer in the idea that being able to teach someone else material exemplifies that you yourself have become master of that material. Because of that belief, I incorporate that idea in my teaching style. My philosophy not only revolves around ensuring my students can understand and develop the ability to explain the subjects they are studying, but it revolves around the student's interests as well. If the student is interested in what they are learning, it will be an easier and more enjoyable experience for them. Also, by providing them with real world examples, they can understand the relevance of their studies, which is just as important.
