...creative ways to approach complex concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. My approach with these tests emphasizes strategy over content; a particular vocabulary word may or may not appear on...

...using visual aids, quizzes and unique and fun mnemonics/techniques that will make sure you never forget the information you learn. After I receive the class notes and requirements from the student, I prepare an outline and a powerpoint for our session.

...minors in Chemistry and Spanish. Although I focus mainly on science, I have a passion for the Spanish language and its history, as I was born in Mexico. I am currently working as a High School College counselor and helping first-generation and minority high school students obtain entrance into higher education. I enjoy learning and teaching a broad range of subjects, but I have the most experience tutoring in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Spanish. My...

...college I spent my time volunteering at local hospitals and researching novel neuroscience techniques. I will attend medical school at Geisinger Commonwealth Medical College this fall. Having taken all of the science classes since high school, I know how daunting and hard science material might seem but if taken at a very fundamental level, it is much more logical and simpler than how many high school teachers or college professors make it seem. Thats how...

...in the Honors program, on track to graduate summa cum laude, and approaching completion of an undergraduate thesis on my work in the university's nanotechnology lab. These opportunities have unambiguously changed my life, and I'm always happy to help more young minds reach their goals.

...not only teaches the material, but also helps students to become more effective learners. I often provide real-world examples to help students get excited about concepts. Also, I use practice problems so that my students can see their own improvement and gain confidence. These strategies help students to become better lifelong learners, and their benefits extend beyond the subjects I am teaching. In addition to teaching and learning, I love to exercise, play the acoustic...
