View Profile

I am an undergraduate double majoring in Molecular and Cell Biology and Zoology. I am also minoring in Business. I speak 3 languages which are English, German, and Turkish. As a tutor, I am very passionate about helping students reach their full potential in school. I tutor biology, chemistry, writing, German, Turkish, and a variety of AP classes to help students prep for their exams. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, playing D&D, and watching movies/TV shows.

Schedule

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss more than 2 sessions, as I am keeping the participants slots very small so I can better give individual help to all of you and we can get to know each other well to build trust. I will not be opening up more slots, nor changing the timing.
