Experience
I have a degree in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology from Harvard University. I also studied English and focused on Spanish as well. I especially love studying biology because I find animal behavior fascinating. I will be working towards a PhD program next. I really enjoy working on fieldwork because of the first-hand experience. I have studied in Mexico, Panama, Peruvian Amazon, and Costa Rica in the rainforests. When I was a college student, I had the opportunity to tutor my fellow classmates. I helped in subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, and Spanish. I also had experience helping high school students with their health education studies. I think it's important for me to help my students better develop their problem solving skills. I then help the students I work with better understand how to guide their way through the problems at hand. I love the moment when a student finally understands the solution at hand. The techniques that I help teach allow students to better study and prepare other material on their own.When I'm not working or teaching, I like to read and write. I also enjoy working on research projects.I'm ready to help you reach your educational goals. I can help you better learn subject matter, learn improved study methods, and prepare for tests.
