About

I have been involved in tutoring and volunteer service roles since at least 2019, most recently working as a Better Me Tutor at Think Zone Learning Center in 2026. My experience spans academic support and customer service in educational and event settings over several years. My work includes supervising and assisting students in independent study, providing homework and exam help in subjects like statistics, biology, and psychology, and managing point of sale transactions during volunteer events. I have developed skills in communication, time management, and coordinating team efforts in both educational and customer service environments.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a part-time remote position, ideally with semi-flexible hours. I'm especially interested in virtual tutor and data entry opportunities.
