A little bit about me: I really enjoy swimming, reading on my Kindle, and sewing plushies to use as decorations in my room! I am also notoriously obsessed with Reality TV shows ranging from MasterChef to Love is Blind - I watch it all, so make sure to avoid this topic during our tutoring sessions so we can both stay focused at the task at hand! I am currently pursuing a pre-dental route with my program due to my passion for Healthcare as well as Dental Health. Alongside my love for all things Science, I also have an interest in Math and Business! If you have any questions concerning HLS, feel free to ask away! I am so excited to help you on your journey to academic success!

Preferred Teaching Style: My two preferred teaching methods are demonstrations and active recall. With subjects like Calculus and Chemistry, where one has to deal with many equations, I like to do practice problems step-by-step using methods such as GRASS (given, required, analysis, solution, statement) and then letting the tutee do a similar practice problem using the same method in order to cement useful processing that will help them during testing. In terms of active recall, I enjoy using flashcards for subjects with a lot of heavy terminology and content such as Biology. Through this process, the tutee is presented with terms in the course that they will have to describe from their memory. This helps the tutee stay engaged with the content and allows them to memorize content more efficiently.
