I am a cancer biology researcher at GWU. I have been in biomedical research for 5 years, studying Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma at Johns Hopkins Medical School, Muscular Dystrophy at Children's National Medical Center, and currently studying Prostate Cancer. My research involves molecular and developmental biology. I graduated from the University of Virginia in 2012 with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Biology. I have taken courses General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, as well as Physics. I am fluent in Urdu and English and conversational in Japanese and French.
I use positive feedback method, as I believe it gives students confidence in their approach to complex tasks. My approach to tutoring students relies on an explanation of material and then pursuing any problem sets or homework assigned. This method allows for any confusion or questions to come up first and be cleared away while maximizing the confidence a student gains from working on the problem sets. Having been tutored at an early age myself, I understand how to keep the interest and attention of students on the task at hand. In addition, I am a patient tutor, not everyone can understand and pick up concepts from the initial encounter with the material, which is why I repeatedly ask questions, emphasize key points, and help students navigate through the material so as to extract the crucial information. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
