Fun Facts
I am an avid bowhunter. I spend a lot of time in the woods any chance I get. I used to be a mixed martial artist for a short time, and I was 2-0 as an amateur. I've also been to 25 states on a motorcycle.
About Me
I'm a recent graduate with a BS in Chemistry from the University of Central Missouri, and I'm employed by the University of Missouri in their Chemistry Department. I'm currently in the process of applying to medical school, which although at times arduous, is something that I'm very passionate about. This is why tutoring these subjects has been such a pleasure for me.
Experience
I've been a tutor since High School, where I did my tutoring hours working with Algebra II students as a volunteer. Through college I tutored a number of subjects through an association working with underprivileged students as well as through the Student Success Center. Primarily, I ran the tutoring groups for Organic Chemistry and General Chemistry, although we delved into Biochemistry and other subjects as well.
Approach
I like to have a fun, fast paced learning environment. I've always found that students who are enjoying themselves learn the best, so I always strive to make my lessons enjoyable. I tutor in a variety of ways depending on the needs of the student; sometimes I'm more of a lecturer, sometimes I do Q/A sessions, and others I work with 1 on 1. I push my students to set goals in the class, and achieve them, and I truly believe anyone can learn anything.
