Experience
Hello! I am a veterinarian from the Midwest, and I just moved to the New Jersey suburbs of NYC. I am available to tutor any time while I await my new state license to practice medicine, and on my off days once I start practicing again. I have tutored all my life, starting with fellow high school classmates in all subjects through the Peer Leadership Program at the prestigious Whitney Young high school in Chicago. I also volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club of Chicago, helping middle school kids with their homework while I was in high school. In college at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, I tutored kindergarten through 3rd grade students in reading and math, as well as 8th grade students in literature through the America Reads, America Counts program. While in Veterinary School at the University of Wisconsin, I developed a 6-week summer internship program for high school students in which I introduced them to veterinary medicine through lectures, anatomy cadaver labs, and microscopy labs. Now as a veterinarian, I instruct my clients and fellow staff members how to provide medical care to animals on a daily basis. My Midwest friendliness and patience enables students to quickly become comfortable with me so that we can develop study techniques best suited to each student's learning needs. I am available to tutor kindergarten through undergraduate university level, and can travel by car to desired tutoring locations.
