I have lived on 4 different continents and it has both been a challenging and amazing experience. My interest in education sparked from moving so much and exploring different school systems and ways of learning.
I have two Bachelor's degrees, in Biology and Philosophy from Barry University in south Florida, and a Master's in Bioethics and Society from King's College London in the UK. During the day I am a research assistant and work on several different projects ranging from philosophical bioethics, to science advice, and laboratory biomedical research (infectious disease). When I am not working I am involved in community service or my own creative enterprises. While new here on Varsity Tutors I have been tutoring and teaching in person and online for about 7 years. I was a teaching assistant in college for a year and held private French lessons to elementary school kids for 2 years. I have also spent two summers teaching full-time high school courses in the sciences, social studies, and philosophy.
I am super enthusiastic and passionate and would describe my approach to teaching as student-centered. I emphasize immersion, hands-on activities, skill and aptitude development, and critical thinking over mere memorization and regurgitation.
I am aware that exam prep and testing can be a real cause of stress for some students, I always strive to tailor my teaching style with strategies to build confidence and help students feel more mindful, relaxed, and proficient.
I am comfortable working with grade school students, undergraduates, and as well as adult learners.
I am only available to tutor online, my subjects include science, AP and IB Biology, undergrad biology courses, Philosophy (AP, IB, and undergrad), English Literature, French K-12 (C'est ma premiere langue! It's my first language!).
我也是一名自由内容的作家and editor and will be happy to use my experience to help with your English lit assignments, essays or thesis as well as college /scholarships/grad school applications. I find that there is nothing more fulfilling on this earth than to help another person do, achieve, and become better. I hope I can also support you on your journey!
