Experience
I graduated from Brigham Young University in Idaho with my bachelor's in biology. While studying, I began volunteering to tutor other students in chemistry, anatomy, algebra, and Spanish. I spent two years in Chile, developing a high proficiency in speaking Spanish. I work one-on-one with students to increase their skills, whether they struggle in pronunciation or they need to improve their vocabulary for conversational Spanish. As a tutor, I believe a strong conceptual foundation is important to absolute mastery of any subject. A grasp of Latin roots will strengthen a student's knowledge in Spanish, as well as prepare them for future potential coursework in science or medicine, where much of the terminology is Latin in nature. I enjoy biology and its related sciences, whether I am learning or teaching it. I use a variety of teaching methods to ensure absolute absorption of the materials as the student learns them. I encourage students self-confidence by strengthening and building upon their current knowledge in ways that work for their learning style. I can provide homework support and test prep on any of these subjects. I live a diverse lifestyle in my free time. I love attending concerts, playing music and video games, and snowboarding.
