Biography

I will be entering my senior year of college this fall. I am pursuing a B.S. in Chemistry with a minor in Mathematics as well as a Masters in Secondary Education. I tutor students in Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, and Quantitative Methods for Business at Temple University’s Student Success Center. I also help students develop healthy, effective study habits as well as problem-solving skills. My expertise is in chemistry and mathematics. I have made these types of videos before for my job, so I am familiar with the process. I also have an iPad Pro which makes it very easy to do!
