...goals. I received my Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, with a focus on policy and law, and an associated minor in Hydrology. Currently, I am completing a Bachelor of Arts in Russian. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing tennis, walking around the city with my dog, Juno, and playing the piano. In the winter I love to ski and snowboard. I have always been passionate about math and teaching...

...I found great satisfaction in teaching Math to struggling teenagers. From my experiences, I learned that anyone can tackle basic mathematical ideas if they are given proper patience and instruction. Furthermore, I have learned that every student has a unique style of learning. My tutoring philosophy embodies this notion and I strive to tailor my lessons to fit each student's academic strengths. Having been successful in my academic career, I have learned exactly what it...

...helped students of all ages (from elementary school to adult) in a wide variety of subjects, including Math (Elementary Math to Calculus), Science (including Physics and Chemistry), test prep (ACT, SAT, GMAT, GRE), and English. My approach is individualized - each student gets a lesson based on his needs, strengths, and weaknesses. I try to find out exactly what a student has difficulty understanding, and I break it down into the simplest ideas possible.

I just graduated from William and Mary, and I am going to be attending Georgetown Medical School in the fall! I absolutely love science and try to translate that passion into my tutoring. I tutor elementary through college math and science and can also help out with MCAT and ACT test prep. I believe in finding ways of presenting material that fit each student's learning style and making math and science fun.

My strengths lie in reading, writing, and all things humanities. I have a genuine love for tutoring and the subjects I teach, and I aim to create an open, informative, and effective atmosphere with my students, one that can shape them into philosophers or true lovers of knowledge.

...Engineering at Johns Hopkins University with a minor in Entrepreneurship and Management. In my previous tutoring experience, I've worked with students of ages ranging from 10 to 18. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite to teach are Math, Chemistry, Physics, and Test Prep, because they provide the greatest problem solving challenges. I enjoy working through difficult problems with students, because I believe that with the right guidance, they are universally capable...

...While I am comfortable working with students in a variety of areas, I particularly enjoy tutoring students in organic chemistry. Many students find organic chemistry daunting, but it can really be fun! However, when you are struggling with any subject, success requires hard work and a good attitude (from you) and clear explanations, examples, and practice problems (from me). In addition to tutoring, I enjoy reading, spending time with friends and family, playing the cello,...

...and Chemistry. Communication is also important in my life. I believe to understand something is to be able to explain it in simpler terms than you yourself learned it. Thus, as a tutor, I consider it my duty to not only pass along knowledge, but to also help the student hone the skills necessary for continued success in future endeavors. Because let's face it, learning is a life long process! In my free time I...

...of Science and Math(NCSSM) where I completed 5 courses of college-level mathematics. In graduate school at UNC Chapel Hill and in my professional work, I have found a niche as an editor for written and data-heavy projects, which is a role I thoroughly enjoy. My favorite students to work with are the ones who are interested in learning the material, but need some extra time outside of class to wrap their head around concepts, or...
