  D'youville college, academic centre

  Sept 2015 - May 2016

  Student tutor

  I tutored five sessions a week for students who were taking Anatomy and Physiology. The position required a thorough knowledge of the course material as well as the ability to explain the content to other students in a clear and concise manner. I had to be able to cater to many different learning styles, which can require some creativity. I also had to be able to manage a large group of students and make sure that each student was attended to. I learnt a lot about patience and empathy working in this position and I tried hard to be friendly and approachable. Show less
