Award-Winning Anatomy Tutors serving Rockville, MD

...experience tutoring undergraduate students in Science, mostly Biology and Chemistry. I love bringing a student out of their shell and having a conversation about the material.

...learning experience to the individual student. I was most inspired to pursue this Socratic style of teaching after taking several courses in college from a professor who had perfected the technique. The majority of his class-time revolved around asking us questions that led us to the points he was trying to make. While not everything can be taught purely in this fashion, I try to make my lessons focus on principles and processes, creating a...

...people look at me, they would never guess that I could not read until the 3rd grade or write until the 4th grade. As a teacher, I am able to bring a sense of empathy born from my humble academic beginnings.

...short-term teaching experience in Peru and Spain, and am near-fluent in Spanish. I believe in the power of positive thinking, hard work, and self-confidence. I also believe that practice makes perfect: putting theory into practice is the best way to become comfortable with new material, so when tutoring I try to incorporate practice problems as much as possible. If you're looking for help with Spanish, English, social sciences, or SAT prep, I would love to...
