Experience
I'm a tutor that is based out of Portland, Oregon, where I enjoy playing guitar, skiing, and exploring the outdoors on hikes when I'm not in the classroom working with students. I have my bachelor's degree in nanoscale science with a concentration in biology from the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, one of the country's top schools for my major. While in school I took a very heavy load of physics, biology, and math courses. I was also required to do a year-long research project, which focused on mining the NCBI DNA database and collecting information on specific transcripts. I'm extremely passionate about tutoring, and would love to work with you for a variety of reasons. I think both learning and teaching are much easier in a one-on-one environment. This is because as a tutor I'm able to focus in on exactly what my students need help on and then provide individualized lesson plans and targeted practice to improve those areas quickly. It's also helpful to just talk about the subject one-on-one with someone who knows what they're doing. With my extensive background in math and science, I'm confident that I'll be able to help any student improve in these sometimes difficult courses.
