I used to work at University of Arizona Tutoring Center and Varsity Tutors to answer undergraduate questions related to math, physics, and chemistry. I provided one-on-one and group sessions to enable students to connect knowledge from the textbooks to real-life situations, and developed strong interpersonal communication skills by helping students achieve their goals through on-going support. I also mentored new incoming tutors with continued support either on problem solving or tutoring strategies, and led tutor enrichment sessions once a week.
