Experience
I tend to learn best when I am an active learner, so I encourage my students to be active learners as well. I also believe in giving my students open-ended questions, rather than lecturing students about the subject. This helps them to think critically about a topic. I am a tutor who uses visuals, like diagrams, to better demonstrate how concepts work.I was born in Ethiopia, and came to America in 2011. I currently attend UMass Amherst, where I am working obtain a bachelor's degree in biology. When I finish college, I am hoping to pursue a career in healthcare and medicine. I currently work as a peer tutor for biology, chemistry, and calculus I and II in the Learning Resource Center. I have also worked as a teaching assistant for psychology and anatomy classes. I have tutored students in many different subjects, including biology, chemistry, algebra I, algebra II, and calculus. I have experience as a science tutor, working as a volunteer tutor at Cambridge Rindge and at Latin High School, where I spent my junior and senior years.When I am not tutoring, I am very much into athletics and fitness, having played basketball, tennis, volleyball, and soccer in high school. I also enjoy music and dance.
