Experience
In addition to tutoring peers through high school and college with success, I served as a teaching assistant for the Emerging Scholars Program at the University of Alabama, which seeks to involve students in research projects as early as their first semester of college. Previously, I have served as a band camp instructor at a high school in northern Alabama, as an AP chemistry tutor through Impact Alabama's College First program, and as a literacy tutor for struggling elementary school students through the University of Alabama Honors College's READ Alabama project. In completing a dual BA/BS degree program, I was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, widely considered the most prestigious honorary for undergraduates in the arts and sciences, as a junior. Upon my election, I received the Allen J. Going Award for attaining the highest grade point average among the Alpha of Alabama chapter's initiates. Additionally, I was recognized as the University's most outstanding biology graduate, graduating with the best academic record of any student studying biology. I received scholarship funding to study German conversation and German history from World War II to the present at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin during the summer of 2015. I would be delighted to serve elementary, middle, and high school students as well as college and university students who seek tutoring in those subjects I have studied most, namely, biology, chemistry, and German. I am also certainly open to helping with physics and mathematics, but students and/or their parents should realize these are not my primary areas of study.
