...a library) and coming up with all sorts of analogies. I remember being pretty drained from squeezing out all my energy to help my friend understand the material. But all was paid off when she finally understood and even scored above average in that test the following week. Even while studying in UW, I took time to shadow local high school teachers and enrolled in programs that gave me hands on experience teaching other students....

In addition to my teaching experience, I...

...a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a focus in Pre-Medicine. I am actively applying to medical school and hope to begin my journey of becoming a doctor this summer.

I also got to enjoy teaching ELL classes in the morning and highly capable test prep after school. I am currently pursuing a masters degree in...

I studied finance and accounting at the undergraduate level before completing a master's degree in financial analysis. After working for accounting and investment firms, I started my own business focused on consulting, tax preparation, and research projects. In terms of languages, I had the opportunity to study for one year in both France and Germany, and I obtained college minors in both languages.

...Biology with a concentration in molecular/cell biology with departmental honors. I grew up along the sandy beaches and bustling cities of Massachusetts and after college, I decided I wanted to embark on an adventure, so I relocated to Seattle. During my undergraduate career, I tutored college students for three years in math, biology, some chemistry, writing/English, and a myriad of other subjects. Although I majored in the hard sciences, my favorite subjects to tutor in...

...biology at Everett Community College and volunteer at the Seattle Aquarium. I have hundreds of hours of experience teaching biology and tutoring standardized tests.

...chemistry. One day, I hope to attain my PhD in Chemsitry as well. As a student, I have come to the realization that students don't do well in classes that are strictly lecture based. Students learn in several different ways, and I will adjust myself to those learning styles, whether auditory, visual, kinesthetic, or some combination of the three. I will commit to teaching students that are seeking furthering their minds and intelligence. Generally, I...

...education or other social factors. Part of my effectiveness as an instructor is my ability to relate scientific concepts with everyday concepts students are familiar with. For instance, students have trouble visualizing ionic movements and how these movements relate to the establishment of resting membrane potential. I turn myocytes/neurons into banks and ions into dollars. Students understand money and can relate that concept to ionic gradients and movements. While it may sound silly, ions as...

...tutoring. Discovering this learning style is incredibly important both to me teaching a student, but also to teach a student how to approach learning on their own in the future. Knowledge of this will make their study time more efficient, and help them understand what they need from their teachers in the future. In my free time, I do yoga, choreograph new works, take class in ballet/modern dance, code fancy things, and play piano.... I believe...
