Emmie P.

Private tutor in Folsom, CA

Education

I'm a recent graduate from the University of California, Berkeley (Go Bears!). I received Bachelor of Arts degrees in both Molecular and Cell Biology and English.

Experience

My previous experience includes two years of leading peer-taught classes at UC Berkeley, one year of tutoring AP Biology, and three years of tutoring various (non-AP) subjects at both the high school and middle school levels. I'm interested in tutoring because I love the process of discovering each individual's unique learning style and deciding how best to engage them and assist them in becoming genuinely interested in their studies. I believe school systems are often overburdened and by necessity approach concepts narrowly; tutoring is a chance to let students dictate how they learn most effectively so they can excel. My degree in Molecular and Cell Biology included classes in genetics, physiology, virology, endocrinology, and immunology in addition to general biology. This allows me to confidently tutor students in various fields or subsets of biology and at any grade level. My degree in English included similarly varied classes and enables me to tutor not only in literary analysis, but also in writing technique and general concepts of grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.

Hobbies

I am currently working for an Americorps program in the Sacramento area and my career interests are in social work and public health. I plan to attend graduate school for a master's in public health before becoming a Nurse Practitioner. I love absolutely everything about books! When I'm not reading, I spend time with my family and my dogs. I'm also learning how to crochet (badly) and improve my cooking skills.
