Byron R.
Private tutor in Covington, KY
Education
I graduated from the University of Dayton in 2010 with a B.A. in Philosophy. My passion for philosophy grew into a yearning to understand our world and how life works in particular. I went back to school at the University of Cincinnati to study chemistry and biology. I did not earn another degree, but I am proficient and confident in my knowledge of the life sciences. My goal was to simply fulfill pre-requisites for veterinary school, which I did while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. I was also awarded chemistry student of the year during my last year there.
Experience
I have no professional tutoring experience, but I led multiple study groups in my organic chemistry and biochemistry classes. I also volunteered at UC's student learning center to help fellow students with whatever chemistry or biology problems they had. It was very informal tutoring. I truly enjoyed helping others learn, and I was often told I was good at it. I know how important a good teacher is to learning a subject. I was lucky to have incredible chemistry teachers at UC; their passion for making it easy to learn left a huge impression on me. There is no greater feeling than watching someone's eyes light up when the concept they've been struggling with finally clicks.

Hobbies
I'm currently applying to veterinary school, hoping to start next fall. I work a part time job walking dogs in the mornings and spend my evenings doing application stuff or studying. When I'm not doing serious things, I like to have fun! I go rock climbing two or three times a week, and I'm a big runner. In the winter I do a lot of snowboarding. I stay very active and spend a lot of time with my friends. I have a very laid back personality and a good sense of humor. I believe that any activity, such as studying, work or play, can be enjoyable if you keep yourself grounded in the present moment and just accept where you are in life and what you're doing. This simple philosophy helps me live a very stress free and happy lifestyle.
