Hi! I'm Chrysanthe. I'm a third-year student majoring in Earth Systems B.S. and minoring in Biology at Stanford University. I plan to pursue a PhD in Ecology or Biology post-graduation. Because my personal studies are so interdisciplinary, I have developed my tutoring style to reflect that. I use familiar tools to teach unfamiliar material so that my students have the best opportunity for success. I have been tutoring middle school, high school, and college students in Math, Chemistry, Bio... Read more

Knowledgeable, patient and caring Spanish teacher

My interest in becoming a Spanish teacher is driving my passion for helping Spanish learners to be successful, and I would like to assist them with all the tools and knowledge I have. Many students do not know how important and effective learning a second language is, and my job is to share this important information with my students.

I'm enthusiastic about tutoring -- I've been teaching and tutoring, as time permitted, starting when I was a graduate student. My BA is in Maths and Computer Science, my PhD is in Physics, I did postdoctoral work in Biophysics, I was on the Physiology faculty at a university in Canada, and now I work in the Biotech field here in the Bay Area. My approach when tutoring is to find a way to bring the student to that "aha" moment when things become clear. Not just to become clear for its own sa... Read more
