Hi, I’m Bridget. I grew up in Oakland and went to college in Berkeley. Following graduation, I worked at a diagnostic company in South San Francisco for two years and at a vascular surgery clinic in Portland for two years. I then returned to Oakland and enrolled in classes at Merritt College to complete pre-requisite courses for graduate school. I plan to begin medical school in the Fall of next year. Outside of work and school, I enjoy spending time outside, cooking/eating, and reading. I look forward to supporting students in Statistics this year!

Appointment Link: https://appt.link/merritt-college-tutoring/parsa-faraji

“Hey there everyone!
My name is Parsa Faraji and I’m a student at Peralta colleges majoring in Mathematics and Computer Science. I plan to transfer
to a University of California to continue my education for a bachelor’s degree.
Tutoring is one of my passions because it gives me great pleasure to help others figure out the solution to a problem or
understand a topic better. During the process, I, myself, achieve a clearer view of concepts and enjoy different perspectives
whenever they appear. Moreover, I’ve sought guidance from experts so many times in my education and it’s only fair to pass on
what I’ve gleaned over the years to others as well!”

Appointment Link: https://appt.link/merritt-college-tutoring/micah-burris

I’m Micah Burris, and I bring patience and ambition to each tutoring session, aiming not only to enhance student’s understanding of their assignments but also to boost their comfort and confidence in learning. I start by asking about their likes and dislikes in the subject, which helps me tailor my approach to their unique needs. I believe in devising study and memorization strategies that empower students to continue their learning journey independently, even beyond our sessions. By taking time to understand students learning style, I can apply techniques that genuinely improve comprehension and retention. Collaboration is critical to my method; I often exchange tips and insights with colleagues to ensure I can support my students on any topic. I aim for students to leave each session feeling more knowledgeable and self-assured in their academic pursuits.

Hello, my name is Mina. I am a nursing major and I am planning on transferring this fall. I am very interested in anatomy and physiology. I enjoy physiology especially because it helps paint a tangible picture of the complex mechanisms driving the human body and its functions forward. I am a visual learner so I utilize images often when tutoring. I feel that being able to visualize concepts helps us solidify otherwise abstract concepts. Seeing is believing!
