I have a bachelor’s degree in Humanities with a concentration in Religious Studies from Hawaii Pacific University, where I explored the faiths of diverse cultures in the West and East. Additionally, I earned a Master of Divinity degree from Biola University, where I studied the influence of different faiths on environmental perspectives. At Biola, I was a teaching assistant, helping students understand how faith can address environmental challenges. I have also obtained certificates from Yale University, which provided insights into how various cultures and faiths, including Indigenous, South Asian, East Asian, and Western traditions, tackle environmental issues. Although I do not provide science lessons, I will highlight relevant scientific knowledge. Lastly, I will emphasize real-world examples of how different faiths influence approaches to environmental problems and offer practical ways to get involved, along with relevant resources.read more

Hello! My name is Christian. Currently, I live in Saint Louis, Missouri. However, I have lived in several other places such as Connecticut, Hawaii, California, and Spain. In my free time, I enjoy ... being with family and friends, reading, and jogging. Writing and teaching stand at the top of my list of passions. Additionally, I enjoy spending time in nature and watching shows like The Flash on the CW. The genesis of my love for teaching began in the fourth grade, when I was hand-picked to serve as a student tutor. Through this early educational opportunity and later experiences as a graduate teaching assistant and Bible class teacher, I have expanded my capacity to employ instructional strategies that are engaging and adaptive to diverse learners. As a result, my conception of teaching and learning is informed by my purpose to edify and educate others in a culturally relevant manner. I like assisting others in learning about new things and seeing them have fun learning. My tutoring philosophy is to create a safe and inclusive educational environment that inspires a life-long love of learning with the aspiration that people will apply what they learn in life. In summary, I look forward to tutoring others and providing them with a safe space to ask difficult questions that encourage them to think critically.read more
