Why do you tutor for BSP?
Bio 1B was the first pre-med class I took during my initial semester at Cal. Navigating through numerous new challenges, I found it difficult to properly grasp the material. At that time, I doubted my ability to handle STEM courses more challenging than Bio 1B. However, BSP helped me discover that grades don't define one's passion, and we all start from different points in life. Thanks to the supportive community I found in BSP, I got another chance to truly understand the material and make the concepts my own. I believe that's what truly matters. My goal is to continue to foster an environment where the encouraging and motivated students in BSP feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes— where real learning happens.
What is your favorite class so far?
My favorite class so far has been Bio 1A. I never thought I would want to major in biology until entering Cal. I’ve always thought that chemistry and organic chemistry were my favorite subjects, but Bio 1A helped me realize how vast the field of molecular biology is. I discovered that I am interested in learning more about the immune system and diseases, on both a cellular and public health level.
