Gabriel

Certified Tutor

I am originally from Orlando, Florida. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, Florida. Since graduation, I have worked with the AVID (Advancement via Individual Determination) and Florida GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) Programs at the Florida A&M University Developmental Research School and Tallahassee Community College. These are collegiate preparation programs designed for low-income, first generation students seeking to attend four year institutions. Students are prepared for the academic rigor of collegiate level coursework by enrolling them in honors level core classes. I have worked extensively as a tutor with students in middle school, high school and college in areas such as Biology, Chemistry and various other natural and healthcare related sciences. While I enjoy tutoring a broad variety of subjects, I am most passionate about the Bio-Medical Sciences.
In my experience tutoring, students enjoy the greatest gains in knowledge when we are able to find creative ways to effectively compartmentalize challenging concepts and complex information. This makes the learning process a lot more fun and enjoyable! As a tutor, one of my main goals is to improve students' confidence in the academic subject of challenge, and experience has taught me that positive results always follow.
In my spare time, I enjoy watching sports, drawing, exercising and eating spicy food.
