After teaching high school science for 5 years I left to pursue a subject I am passionate about. I truly enjoy teaching and tutoring and plan to incorporate it into my future career in nutrition. I love explaining intimidating subject matter in a way that makes the material easy to understand. It is an incredible moment to see in a student's face the moment when it all comes together to make sense. Science is especially intimidating to some students and I have found that I am able to explain concepts differently than most teacher to reach student's who have struggled with science in the past.
