What to Expect in Our Sessions

Hi! My name is Anna Michael, and I am sincerely looking forward to working with you and helping you be successful in this challenging course. Microbiology isn’t a subject many of us naturally just “get”. As macro, multicellular organisms, we humans have spent our entire lives learning about our world on the macro scale. So when it comes to diving into the micro world, it makes sense that our brains have a harder time “placing” that new information into its current understanding of how the world works. This disconnect can be quite jarring, especially for students who are used to school feeling effortless, but don’t worry - I’m here to help! As your tutor, I am committed to equipping you with the tools you need to feel confident in your ability to learn and tackle even the most challenging material, both in this class and beyond. My approach is holistic and student-centered: I meet you exactly where you are in your learning journey, identifying and filling knowledge gaps, designing study plans that fit into your busy life, and drawing on your own experiences to help make even the most complex topics click.
