Experience
I am a senior Political Science major and Chemistry minor at Howard University. Originally from Nigeria, I grew up in Philadelphia. I am a pre-medical student and I plan to apply to medical school next year. I am the daughter of two educators, and two of my older siblings are also teachers/professors. Teaching is in my blood! I first began tutoring formally at age 13 at an after-school program in Philadelphia. I continued in that role until I graduated high school. Once I arrived at Howard, I decided to combine my passion for health care with my love of teaching by becoming a peer health educator. In that role, I teach health education to high school students in the District. I also currently tutor pre-med and other pre-professional students in a variety of science subjects. I love social studies, sciences, and tests! I genuinely enjoy the critical thinking that standardized tests requires, and love to pass on test-taking strategies to those that I tutor. My favorite MCAT section is the Critical Analysis and Reading Skills, and my favorite SAT section is Verbal. I think these areas are challenging, but every student has immense potential for improvement once they discover the right strategies. In my spare time, I enjoy yoga, cooking, fashion and procrastinating on Buzzfeed.
