Christina

Certified Tutor

I have been tutoring Chemistry, Biology and Organic Chemistry at the high school, AP, and college level. I graduated from West Bloomfield High School in 2012 and went on to earn my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry at University of Michigan-Dearborn. I will be starting medical school at University of Michigan-Ann Arbor this fall. I love science courses and I love helping students achieve the understanding they need to do well in the class.

My favorite subject to tutor is Organic Chemistry because it seems to be the most difficult class for students, and reinforcing the material in a different way really improves overall understanding and scores. I love to see my students succeed and become more confident in a subject.

My teaching style is to focus on what the student finds to be the weak point, while also providing examples and supplemental materials to further the understanding. I am a very visual learner myself, so often going through a difficult concept and writing it out with the student helps solidify it and clears up any misunderstanding. I will often say, "this is cool" before talking about a new topic, and while students may not find Chemistry "cool" I hope to help them at least understand it when we are done with a session.

Besides studying and tutoring, I love to draw, read and stay active with walks around my neighborhood or a quick workout at the gym. I am very easy going and approachable and ready to help!
