Emilie B.
Private tutor in Glendale, CA
Education
I am a recent college graduate, having majored in Biology and minored in Psychology at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL). I was a member of the Biology Society and the UL Honors Program. My overall GPA was a 3.87. In high school, I was home-schooled and dual-enrolled at UL while still a senior. This allowed me to get ahead in my classes and I graduated in just 3 years of college.
Experience
I started tutoring as a junior in high school and have helped a wide range of students from ages 4 to 22. I have also worked as a private swimming instructor and personal trainer which has increased my ability to address the specific needs of each student and formulate action plans. On my standardized tests I earned a 28 on the ACT, 29 on the SAT (equivalent), and a 501 on the MCAT. Science and math have always interested me and I love to share my passion for them with other people. In my experience, people only dislike the subjects that they don't understand, so I try to help my clients understand subjects that are difficult for them so that they can enjoy learning.

Hobbies
My hobbies and interests include reading, hiking, lifting weights, dancing, practicing Taekwondo, yoga, swimming, putting together puzzles, solving riddles, and having picnics at the park. My friends consider me to be studious but I also like to make learning fun. I will crack jokes and make funny associations/comparisons in order to make educational material more entertaining because studies suggest that we remember information more accurately when we think it is funny.
