Katie

Bachelors, Biochemistry Edinboro University of Pennsylvania
  • I'm a recent graduate of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania where I received my degree in chemistry with a concentration in biochemistry.
  • During my time at Edinboro, I was offered a tutoring position with the chemistry department in the beginning of my junior year.

About Me

From then on, I was a constant face in the tutoring room, absorbing knowledge from other tutors and helping fellow students who needed it. This is where the majority of my tutoring experience comes from. At Edinboro, I tutored many different chemistry subjects, including General Chemistry, Principles of Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, Biochemistry, and Analytical Chemistry. Currently, I am working at Pittsburgh Plate Glass (PPG) as an analytical chemist in the chromatography department. My job at PPG allows me to use my chemistry skills every day to analyze incoming samples and keep my chemistry knowledge fresh. My goal as a tutor is to ensure that students get the knowledge they need to not only pass a test, but to understand the material in a way that will help them use their knowledge for future classes and beyond. Outside of science, I enjoy reading (Harry Potter!), skiing, playing The Sims, and enjoying the wonderful foods the world has to offer.

Hobbies & Interests

Reading, skiing, running, watching TV, playing with my cat.

Education

Bachelors, Biochemistry - Edinboro University of Pennsylvania

Q&A with Katie

As a tutor, my teaching philosophy is a simple one: to ensure that my students have a deep understanding of the concepts they are learning. To me, this means making certain that students aren’t learning the material just to pass an assessment coming up in the near future, but are actually gaining a deep understanding of the information presented to them. To do this, I present useful learning techniques that will help students excel in their current courses, as well as any courses they may experience in the future. I give my students the ability to confront their hardest courses with the confidence to succeed. To foster this confidence, I impart my enthusiasm for my subject knowledge of chemistry to the student. I believe that when students see my excitement for the subject, they will grow to become more interested and engaged in the subject matter themselves. By promoting excitement and presenting useful techniques, I hope to encourage students to become the best they can be.
