Yuri C.
Private tutor in Boston, MA
Education
I am currently at Harvard finishing up my pre-medical requirements. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a B.A. in Cognitive Science (concentration in Neuroscience) and a Minor in Japanese.
Experience
Previous tutoring experiences: - college-level Japanese tutor and conversation partner at Penn - reading for elementary school students using a curriculum based on linguistics - I seem to always help classmates in courses that I am taking! SAT: 2310 Japanese SATII: 790 Organic Chemistry I/II: A/A; aiming to be a TF for the next fall/spring semesters at Harvard I love tutoring because it is fun to share my knowledge and tips on breaking down complex problems into manageable pieces. I focus on helping students grasp the fundamentals so studying a subject is less memorizing and more of an application of common themes. A lot of my cognitive science courses were based on education, learning, and memory. I found this immensely interesting because not only did I get to tap into how people learn but also understand the differences in learning processes and memory. Tutoring is one way that I can share my knowledge on improving study skills and adopting good habits so that students can take solid steps towards achieving their goals. I can tutor in Allston as well as at Harvard. I have an interesting incentivized payment program that you can choose! Please contact me for more details.
