Experience
During my years as a PhD student, I had the opportunity to teach and tutor a number of courses. Though I am not currently employed in academia, education remains a passion of mine and I would like to continue it in my spare time. As a student growing up, I needed extra help in school on occasion and benefited tremendously from the assistance my tutors provided. I know how it feels to be overwhelmed by difficult topics. More often than not, it was the strict classroom environment that discouraged my progress, not the subject itself. However the supplemental help from tutors enabled me to gain confidence in my abilities and no longer be intimidated by the course material. In addition to the undergraduate courses I taught at University of Toronto, I also tutored students in a variety of subjects and always produced excellent results. I believe that no subject is too difficult to master if one has the proper tools and perspective to learn. Tutoring can and has yielded significant results, and I look forward to helping students achieve excellence in subjects they were struggling in. My skill set has a wide range and I am open to tutoring in a variety of subject areas. Additionally, I have published in peer-reviewed academic journals (with 3 publications currently under review) and would be happy to assist in preparing and editing all levels of essays. My primary talents are in anatomy, physiology, and biology, but I am comfortable in most sciences and some maths.
