Private tutor in El Cajon, CA

Education

I have an associate degree in biblical studies from New Tribes Bible Institute I have a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and cell biology from the University of California San Diego I obtained my EMT certification a few years ago, but have since let it lapse as I work as a nursing assistant now and no longer require it. I do, however, keep up with it and have taken a refresher course.

Experience

I helped out my fellow students all throughout high school and continued in college, however, I did not begin to tutor professionally until later in college. I tutored chemistry, biology, english composition and pre-calculus for two years, but I am able and willing to tutor most any subject. As a biochemistry major I was required to taken an vast array of subjects including biochemistry, inorganic and organic chemistry, biology, physics and calculus. Even though I only took the required composition courses for college I am an excellent writer due in large part to the extensive hours I have spent reading. I love mentoring and I love tutoring. Knowledge is beautiful and powerful and yet it is so often presented in a way that makes it seem dull and unnecessary. My goal for my students is to instill in them a thirst for knowledge that causes them to seek it out of their own volition and ultimately I seek to empower my students to accomplish just that. I achieved a 5 on both my AP Comparative Politics exam as well as my AP Calculus exam.

I was in choir all through high school and college. I have also dabbled in the violin. I am an avid sports fan. I played soccer and basketball in high school, but I also follow formula one, ufc and tennis. I am an avid reader of both fiction and nonfiction, but have also taken up listening to a variety of podcasts. I love a good debate and discussion and due to my international upbringing I have an appreciation for different worldviews. I grew up overseas and have developed many cross cultural skills.
