I gained most of my tutoring experience when I volunteered as a tutor in high school, helping middle school students to complete their homework. I also have worked as a TA in an Introductory Biology class at UMass, so I have experience helping students understand more advanced material as well.

I am also able to teach biology and chemistry (inorganic and organic) as well as molecular biology. I have been a TA for several of these disciplines.
I am an actor and playwright and very comfortable tutoring in English, reading, writing and acting. I also have a strong knowledge of math (10th grade and below).
