Zachary K.
Private tutor in College Park, MD
Education
I recently received my B.S. in Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics from the University of Maryland in December of 2015. As a student who sometimes struggled with math/science courses throughout high school and college, I understand the importance of a tutor who can not only knows the information, but is able to convey that information in various ways. Having worked for three years at a summer camp for underprivileged and handicapped children I see how most school systems lack teaching problem solving techniques, a fundamental tool for taking standardized tests like the SAT and ACT. Currently, I am preparing to take my GREs, so that I may earn a degree in cellular biology, and teach at an institution of high learning.
