Honestly, I had never even thought about the possibility of tutoring until I received the e-mails telling me I’d been recommended by my professors. Being the strictly individual learner that I am, plagued with the need to write things down in order to commit them to memory, I had never seen a tutor myself, and therefore didn’t really know what to expect. Because of this, I was very uncertain as to whether or not this was something that I could do. I think what ultimately helped me to decide was having gone through these content-heavy introductory biology courses, I realized that more importantly than having learned such a vast amount of information, I had gained valuable experience as to how to master the material. How could I not want to share that experience with others?
