...academic potential! I have tutored elementary school through college students in reading comprehension, math, SAT prep, and chemistry, and even started an afterschool engineering program for elementary school students.

...be filled through a detailed understanding of a course's core material. I want my students to become fluent in the basic language of their subject. Once a student has mastered the foundational concepts he can intuitively comprehend more advanced material instead of relying on memorization. For example, a student working on trigonometry cannot effectively understand...

...that education will play a major role in my career whether it's educating patients, medical students, or residents Having gone through the rigors of the college and medical school application process (including taking the required standardized tests), I'm very familiar with both the content and the test taking process.

These are not only important for math but can be used in any subject and become increasingly important as students move on from school and into the working world. I also believe it is absolutely...

...I took it myself! I also provide application advice for applying to Dental school. After taking my DAT, I applied to 8 dental schools and was accepted to 7 of them! In my undergraduate semesters, I often took up multiple positions to be a resource for tutoring and mentoring to underclassman students. This included teaching...

...work come to fruition through a good test score or just a clearly better understanding of the topic. Learning should be fun - not just sitting at a table cramming information into your head. I try to take this approach with my tutoring and hope that each student has fun during our session! In my...

...Environmental Studies. After college, I received a Fulbright Scholarship to study architecture at Cambridge University, where I got my Master's degree in Architecture. Due to some personal exposure I had to family illness, I decided to switch paths and pursue a career in medicine, and I'll be applying to medical school next year. I've been...

...oral communication skills, specifically within team settings.

...Miami, and a sleepaway camp in North Carolina. I think the most important motivator in tutoring is to show my own enthusiasm for the subjects I teach. Breaking down a problem, and making "problem maps" for complex problems gives students a solid foothold to start and follow through a problem. Working examples using these maps...

...peers in high school in various subjects. I believe that the key to achieving academic success in any given subject is to find a study method that works for you. I have had a lot of experience with trial and error myself, and would love to help others personalize their study habits to work for...
