Christina G.
Private tutor in New York, NY
Education
I graduated from Princeton University with honors (cum laude) from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. After graduation, I completed a post-baccalaureate Health Careers Program at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA. I will be starting at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons this fall.
Experience
Princeton University and Harvard grad. I have been tutoring students for over 10 years in subjects including SAT/ACT prep, math, biology, study skills, organic chemistry and the college application process. I also taught as a Teaching Fellow for Organic Chemistry at Harvard University and worked as a Harvard Academic Tutor for the last couple of years. All of my students have seen drastic improvements in their grades and/or standardized testing scores. I am willing to provide my high school and college level GPA in addition to ACT and SAT scores to those interested. I am also willing to work with students on college application essays. As a person who thrives on intellectual stimulation, I love nothing more than sharing my interests in learning with others. I become personally invested in the success of all of my students and thoroughly enjoy the satisfaction my students express upon mastery of a subject. I recognize that each student is unique and my priority is to understand both a student's strengths and weaknesses and to utilize their strengths to overcome any challenges posed by the material. I am a very creative person and I am not afraid to think outside the box to present the material in new ways. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to meet you at a convenient location (e.g. public library, coffee house).

Hobbies
I love studying wildlife and animal behavior, and I spent most of my undergraduate career working in the rainforests of Central America and Africa. In my free time, you can find me behind the camera lens doing nature and wildlife photography, cycling in a Flywheel studio, dancing, reading, or playing tennis.
