Acacia H.
Private tutor in Henderson, NV
Education
Highschool Valedictorian (GPA 4.0). I am an honors graduate (GPA 3.8) from UCLA (2020) with a major in Physiological Science and a minor in Applied Developmental Psychology. I am currently a pre-nursing major at UNLV and enrolled in a CNA program. I will be starting my BSN program in June 2021.
Experience
I have three years of teaching experience, including UCLA's Infant Development Program, UCLA’s Learning Assistant Program, Devon Review, Franklin Educational Services, Lafayette Academy, and School on Wheels. In these roles, I gained experience helping students with learning differences such as dyslexia, ASD, and ADHD. I know that an enthusiastic and caring instructor is the key to an enjoyable class; therefore, I promise to always bring my best to class. My role is to scaffold your journey by providing you with evidence-based study strategies, a safe space to explore, and a structured plan for success. Lastly, I value academic mastery based on understanding rather than memorization and hands-on activities that reveal a topic’s relevance to real life. TEAS 96%, HESI A2 98% ACT 27, SAT Math 670, SAT Writing 730, SAT Reading 700

Hobbies
I recently bought a mountain bike and it has been so fun getting used to it and the feel of riding trails. It's an incredible feeling to ride over an obstacle and then beam with triumph. I also love spending time with my husband when he isn't studying for his medical school classes. We like to eat out, play tennis, hike, and road bike. Lastly, I always love to keep learning by listening to podcasts and audiobooks.
