Maria

Certified Tutor

I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Alabama in Huntsville majoring in Biological Sciences and minoring in Chemistry and Business Administration. After undergrad, I plan on attending optometry school to become a certified optometrist.

I began tutoring in high school, working with mostly elementary school students, but I have always made sure to be a helping hand in class for my peers and even now I get the occasional text for help with random homework. This year I was also hired by my university to be a tutor/teacher aide for introductory chemistry. I am available to tutor many levels of math, biology, chemistry, and ACT test prep. My tutoring style is very hands on. I like to follow along with the student as they do practice problems, find where they are having trouble, and focus on amending the issue. I also am very personable, as I believe students are more confident and learn better when they are comfortable with their tutor. My favorite subject to tutor is biology because it was always my favorite class and it encompasses so much of our lives from cellular functions all the way to biomes.

Outside of tutoring, you can find me binging Netflix, playing video games on my computer, or wrestling with my incredibly adorable kitten, Pancake.
