My goals are to help my students learn in a fun environment that also nurtures their appreciation for that subject.

...I am applying for dental school with a DAT score in the 98th percentile. For more than eight years, I have taught students in many different subjects such as DAT, SAT, Chemistry (General and Organic), Biology, and Physics in both classroom and tutoring environments. Besides academics, I have even taught swimming and dance. My tutoring style focuses on tailoring the lesson to target the students weaknesses. I am very attentive and adaptable ensuring a more...

...Biology and Chemistry classes, as well as Calculus I and II. I am a strong believer in tutoring my tutees by giving them open ended question that encourage them to critically think about their subject topics rather than lecturing the concepts myself. I personally grasp concepts easier when I become an active learner, and I encourage my tutees to do the same. I also use visual cues and diagrams to better illustrate complex concepts. Besides...

...daily, you can't help but to marvel at its precision. My teaching philosophy is practice makes near-perfect. I believe that with practice and repetition with the right strategies, anybody can master the subjects I will be teaching. Some may need more practice than others. And everybody has their own strengths and weakness, but that should not define individual's potential. Besides academics, music is my stress-reliever. I thoroughly enjoy playing guitar and learning new instruments. These...

...as a doctor. I have also received a B.S. in biology and graduated with highest honors from Lehigh University in 2018. I have extensive experience serving as both a tutor and teaching assistant for various subjects. I work 1-on-1 with my students to develop a teaching method that is catered specifically to their unique learning style. My main expertise is in life science courses such as biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, organic chemistry, and biochemistry....

...to genetic research with high schoolers. While I enjoy tutoring a number of subjects, I am especially fond of science and math. My goal as a tutor is often to not only teach a subject, but get a student involved with a subject - that is, excited about it. I find students can make the biggest improvements when they feel personally engaged in the subject. Outside of academics I like bikes, coffee, and Kurt Vonnegut.

...so I am very comfortable helping students with every section of the test. When I tutor, I tailor my teaching style so that I can pinpoint the exact misunderstanding my student has with the concepts/material they are trying to learn. This style makes me an efficient and effective tutor. I am a huge NBA fan and I also love to choreograph hip-hop dance during my downtime. Playing a little video games during one’s free time...

...at UCR. I understand the concepts, but I can also explain them using applicable examples. Really, math is like a language; you need to know the basics before you get speaking fluently. Math can be difficult, but it can be even more fun once you get it. To me, chemistry is the perfect blend of science and math, which is great since I enjoy both! You can learn from the most basic atoms (don't trust...

...study were molecular biology as well as biochemistry. The depth and importance of these fields are vast, and I personally feel that understanding the concepts in these areas are particularly rewarding. I find the one of the most satisfying feelings as a teacher is when you see a student truly grasp a concept and understand the material. To realize this feeling, I focus on determining the students learning style and then focusing my lessons based...

...doing calculation. I am very patient in following steps by steps in lecturing, and I want to ensure my student would understand the basic knowledge and question first. After that, I would go further to expand their knowledge. I also need the collaboration between my client and the student along with their expectation. My parents are both high school teachers in Physics and Chemistry, so I simulated her their teaching way to tutor my friends in...

Hello! My name is Serena Choi and I am a current graduate from the University of California, Riverside. My hobbies include exercising, hiking, playing video games, and trying new foods. I'm looking forward to meeting you and helping you with your academic success!

...chemistry and physics for almost 10 years now (especially chemistry). I have spent a good part of the last 10 years thinking about these subject but also interacting with confused students (and even confused teachers!) and I have developed a good sense of where confusion arises from. I have an undergraduate degree in chemistry and a physics minor to boot. I am especially well versed in physical chemistry. We can start with the simplest introduction...

...interesting. I especially have a lot of experience tutoring general chemistry to college students both during class and outside of class. I strongly believe in the importance of accepting that you need help and asking for it. This doesn't make you inferior, but actually makes you stronger for being able to understand your own needs and take action to improve your situation. With this action, you have a better chance of succeeding in your education....

I am a current graduate level student with a background in technical, science, and humanities coursework. I have years of experience putting this coursework into action through both teaching and technical positions. I enjoy tailoring my teaching methods to each individual student, and I look forward to meeting and working with you!

I earned my undergraduate degree in biochemistry at Brown University and my Ph.D. in immunology at the University of California, Berkeley. I have been teaching both introductory and advanced biology courses at the University of Maryland, College Park for over 10 years. For fun I enjoy reading science fiction, doing crossword puzzles, swing and ballroom dancing, and playing ultimate frisbee.... I try to bring a broad perspective to my teaching. If one approach doesn't click, then...

...cover all science topics up to advanced college-level chemistry and biology. As a science major and experienced tutor, I understand that the sciences pose unique and varied challenges to students. One of my primary goals is to meet students where they are, understand their specific needs, and develop an individualized plan that challenges them and helps them succeed. To this end, I do not follow a specific formula during sessions with my students. Instead, I...

...have had the privilege of mentoring numerous undergraduate and graduate students, PhD candidates, and research technicians. Although I tutor a wide range of subjects within biology and biotechnology, my deepest passion lies in hematology, oncology, stem cell biology, metabolism, genetic engineering, physiology, microbiology and biochemistry. My teaching approach is both structured and adaptable. I emphasize clear goals and organized content delivery, while remaining flexible to adjust my methods based on individual learning styles and students'...

...have to cater the material accordingly. Classes I have served as a TA for include thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and materials science. I have also taught chemical engineering thermodynamics and tutored ACT/SAT/PSAT prep for high school students, and high school math and science. In addition, I have worked in various biological and engineering labs over the years, so I have technical expertise in many general undergraduate science classes. One of my main goals as an educator...

...double majoring in Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development and French. I am pre-med, so I do hope to go to medical school next year and am currently in the process of applying.
