I am also a current research intern at Fermilab working on a project regarding the NaI crystal scintillation.

I can teach all science classes up to AP level and math up to Calc III.

Students really like me as a tutor because I am able to expand their skill set to an entire new level by delving into the deeper meaning of most information so students know why they are doing a certain topic so they can develop an appreciation towards that topic which helps them perform better.

Math and Science have always been my passions both to teach and learn. So, students who have difficulty with math and science and those who are enthusiastic about exploring math are very welcome. My focus will be not only on solving problems that students come with, but guiding them how to tackle problems of all difficulty levels. Students find my tutoring sessions both fun and productive. I have been able to teach students with very poor to strong academic backgrounds with equal success.

I have taught college students and high school students in mostly Math and Science, and they have performed significantly better on their exams.

Hobbies:

I am an outgoing guy who likes to follow/play basketball and football and I am a physics enthusiast! Please ask me if you have any questions.

Education

I am a Junior at North Central College, and I am pursuing a Bachelor of Art's degree in Biology and a minor in Spanish. I currently have a 3.009 GPA and am working hard to keep increasing my GPA.

Experience:

I don't have any previous tutoring experience at this point, but I have exceptional people skills. I have served in various leadership positions such as the one I am in now as a Resident's Assistant at North Central College. I would love to start tutoring because I love helping people (as a true Resident's Assistant usually does). I've taken many science classes and my fair share of spanish classes as well. My ACT score coming out of high school was an even 30. If you're looking for a kind and understanding tutor, then I'm your guy.

Hobbies:

I currently play baseball at North Central and have played since I was about 5. It's a huge part of my life and has taught me many priceless lessons. In my free time, I like to play guitar, exercise, volunteer at the Union (a local music venue that serves a greater purpose of social justice), and, of course, hang out with my friends. I'm really the laid back type, but I know how to get my work done.
