Kayla S.
Private tutor in San Diego, CA
Education
Graduate of Davidson College (2007-2011) with a Bachelor of Science degree in neuroscience; successfully defended thesis, which resulted from undergraduate research.
Experience
Tutored middle- and high-school students throughout college and continue to do so when the opportunity arises. The course subjects were diverse, encompassing both the humanities and sciences. Along with research, teaching has remained my primary passion. Thus, working with students whom I can impact in an appreciable manner remains my most fulfilling opportunity. Every student deserves a chance to find what makes him or her feel confident about learning and succeeding, and that is my goal for every person I meet.
