Experience
I am currently an undergraduate at Florida International University and I expect to earn my BS in Biological Sciences within the next year. In middle school I was introduced to the IB Program and so I took higher level courses from then until the culmination of high school, at which point I received the IB diploma. I have a very strong academic background, despite the fact that I was always a learner who needed plenty of time and effort for things to sink in. Whenever I had trouble with concepts, particularly in math and science, I wouldn't be open about it with my teachers, usually because of the simple fact that I didn't feel comfortable seeking help. For this reason, what's most important to me as a tutor is that any student I'm helping is comfortable enough to have open communication with me about their concerns and sources of confusion. I also find it very useful (and even necessary at times) to break things down to the very basics, in order to then build understanding on a secure foundation. I genuinely love to help people understand whatever is in my power to help them understand, and so it comes naturally to me to take the knowledge I struggled to gain and help someone else along their own path towards understanding.
