Pre Algebra with Payal M.

I am a student at the University of Rochester, majoring in Neuroscience. I am also minoring in chemistry and psychology, and studying mind-body somatics. I am committed to working hard to help people better understand the world around us - whether by means of exploring the sciences, or by promoting communication to foster intellectually rich environments. I've been tutoring since I was a junior in high school. I tutored Spanish for students who were struggling with the language, and I worked with each student to reach their personal goals. As a teaching assistant for the Biology department at my University, I have worked with all kinds of students. Some hated biology and some loved biology. My excitement for the sciences and my genuine care to make sure my students actually understand the material helped me connect with the different personalities that came into my classroom. As a current student, and as someone that has taken education courses, I know what it takes to be a helpful tutor. I value my ability to listen to my students and to really hear their needs, and to help them learn lifelong lessons that they can carry into any classroom, to master any subject.
