...old, I too, encountered a lot of problems. But I came to learn, fortunately early, that the lack of an effective learning strategy is typically 80% of your problem. Getting to this strategy, however, is different for every individual-- it is not something you can simply google or watch a tutorial for. It takes time and effort. I put a high-emphasis in developing this strategy in my students, and love to watch them master it.

My tutoring experience ranges from teaching a mid-20s Bloomberg employee how to program in Python to helping fellow MIT computer science undergraduates understand the more thorny minutiae of digital system design. I spend most of my free time programming, reading about transportation and politics, and playing softball most summer weekends.

...I believe that there is no subject one cannot learn with enough time and effort. I enjoy teaching various subjects such as Biology, Physiology, and Psychology. Regardless of the subject matter I first analyze the student’s strength and weaknesses and develop my curriculum to best suit the students needs. I believe there is always a way to teach even the most complicated material in a palatable manner. Also, as a future physician, I have well-developed...

...group work during class and holding my own weekly office hours. I loved not only teaching students how to solve problems, but also empowering them to get over the same hurdles I struggled with myself when I took those same courses my freshman year. The subjects I would love to tutor are MCAT studying, biology (including cell biology, neuroscience, genetics, etc.), algebra-based physics, and anatomy & physiology (which is my favorite, but I think I...

...without understanding why nonmetals radius is smaller than metals is meaningless. My goal for each tutoring session is to get my students to change the way they approach answering science based questions. While the alternative approach of memorization might be helpful in humanities, it would be fruitless in science or math courses. Once you understand the why behind the answer, the next task is to practice working on a variety of questions. To efficiently maximize...

...of experience teaching elementary, high school, undergraduate and graduate students, I specialize in tutoring many subjects, mostly in the humanities and social sciences. I also tutor in Mandarin Chinese. As a native speaker in Chinese, I love to teach Chinese because the language relates to my background and specialty. I can also tutor areas in social sciences, including statistics, biostatistics, psychology, etc. I am looking forward to meeting new students. My teaching philosophy is to...

...out the way that they do. I want to understand how the pathways in the brain of a low-income person from a hostile environment who perseveres and becomes a Harvard graduate compares and contrasts with the brain of someone from a wealthy, privileged environment who ends up in rehabilitation for drug use. In understanding, it is my high ambition to expand our understanding of brain functions, thus raising awareness in the world, especially in less...

...These organizations were very different. In one of these organizations, I conducted individualized tutorial sessions for students (K-12) with academic deficiencies after determining what skill areas required additional assistance. In the second organization, I lead two-hour study sessions (5-6 students) from K-12th grade for state exams, specialized high school exams, pre-SAT, SAT and ACT. During medical school, I have tutored students for medical board exams. My strongest subjects have always been math and science. In...

...New York Institute of Technology where I studied pre-med with a literature background. After graduating college, I went to medical school and I am currently about to graduate medical school.

I have a passion for science and mathmatics and understand that these may be topics many students dislike. I aim to help students by using examples from the real world as well as other techniques that make it easier...

...have in themselves plays a big role in learning, whereas fear and anxiety are a hindrance to learning and memory. This is a key player when it comes to exams as well. My main goal is always to help the student to learn how to maneuver through problems and obstacles even if they haven't come across them before. This always helps them to become confident in themselves and to not let challenges bring them down.

...in writing up those labs afterward, and reviewed lab reports for the professors. I also tutored high school students in the area on a variety of subjects including math and science. Personally I've benefited from tutoring on both the SAT and the MCAT, and I'm excited about the prospect of applying what I've learned from my experiences as a student to helping people with the academic challenges they face. As far as my tutoring style,...

My concepts regarding the science subjects are spot-on and I can easily make a student understand anything regarding sciences or mathematics. I know this because I have tutored science and mathematics before and the result percentage was 100%. Also, I was ranked in top 100, in the World Math Day Competition Year 7. My knowledge, the bonding with the student...

I feel that I can relate to students and help them prep in a way that best fits their individual needs. My tutoring method is customized to each student to help them reach their full potential. Outside of the classroom, I run Division...

...of biology–chemistry-physics should be reversed to physics-chemistry-biology. In any case, I recognize the utility of the traditional approach and have a tool box full of examples which make it easier for biology students to understand difficult concepts such as energy or ph. Interests outside academia include fly fishing, organic gardening and cooking. I feel there is nothing more rewarding than preparing an outdoor meal of vegetables grown in your garden with fresh fish, caught on...

...using different learning styles. I've also learned how to make learning fun and engaging. My experience also makes me a great candidate to tutor biology, computer science, chemistry and various math courses. Overall my favorite subject is Biology because I believe that the more we learn about biology, the more we learn about ourselves and the world around us. Outside of academia I like to exercise and participate in fun activities that keeps the body...

I am a graduate of Columbia University with a bachelor's in Neuroscience (pre-med). I have tutored many high school students, mainly in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
