I am currently a student at Stony Brook University and am applying to dental school. I am very passionate about tutoring because I enjoy helping others. I have experience working with all age groups because of the time I spent volunteering at Stony Brook Hospital and Stony Brook Cancer Center. I was also a teaching assistant for chemistry at Stony Brook. The chemistry class I was a teaching assistant for was an advanced level class which condensed two semesters of general chemistry into one. I enjoyed meeting new people, and helping them understand key concepts and problems. The teaching style I am fond of is to basically explain to a student the concept behind a problem and then have them run through the problem while I provide any assistance. I have seen this strategy build a lot of confidence in students because many students are always doubtful of their way of thinking, and I think eliminating that doubt makes students more confident in themselves and their academics. I recently took the DAT and am able to provide many insights and teach many concepts for the exam in the sciences, math, and reading.

Q & A

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

In a typical first session, I like to get to know the student a little and understand his or her personality. Then I ask them what they have the most trouble with, and I then like to teach them the whole concept and get down to the very roots, because that lays down a foundation for preparing the student to fully understand the problem. I like to have the student try to figure out the problem themselves, and help them along the way. This way the student can build confidence in themselves and erase any doubt in themselves.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

I would explain the concept to them usually by helping them visualize the concept or problem. Lots of people prefer visual learning these days, because the picture of the concept tends to stay in the head longer than uttering words repeatedly to themselves. Visualizing a problem with either pictures or videos is the best solution to helping a student learn a particular skill set.
