...teaching others how to succeed both on and off the field. To excel as a student-athlete at a rigorous academic institution, I had to learn how to properly manage my time due to my hectic schedule. The time management skills, discipline, and perseverance I gained from football are abilities I tried to impart on my teammates every day to help them improve in all aspects of their lives. Since my college teammates voted me the...

Hello, my name is Brandon and I'm a graduate of St. Thomas Aquinas College. My tutoring style is very hands on and diagram based. In the sciences, concepts can be very difficult so breaking down concepts into smaller pieces works best.

I also make sure to use a lot of diagrams and flow charts when teaching. Outside of school, I spend a lot of time exploring and doing photography. I also love listening to music, watching basketball, and...

...I became fond of teaching. Therefore, I would like to share my knowledge of basic sciences that I have worked on since I started medical school in 2007 up until now. Above all, I loved helping others achieve the same goal by teaching, and I would like to continue helping students overcome their weak subjects and also master the subjects they are already comfortable learning. The key to success is repetition of what has already...

...do *not* believe in memorization and have textbooks as clear as yesterday engrained in my head years after learning them is because of taking time to break concepts down to their simplest ideas and building upwards. By breaking complex concepts into their basic subunits, and explaining the purpose of each unit and how and why it works, it creates connections in the brain (schema) and writes into long term memory. Most of my students have...

...As an older sister of two younger brothers, I have grown up tutoring and helping my brothers in all subjects focusing especially on English, Mathematics, and the Sciences.

My students have always appreciated...

...to excellence, I earned 100 in Algebra I, and A+ in Organic Chemistry I. Among other life lessons, facing these two challenges showed me the power of good instructors, and more importantly, how to approach difficult topics. The best technique to understanding new concepts is to start with an easy related topic. For example, what is the atomic radius trend of periods in the periodic table? To understand the answer, you would need to know...

...learned craft that he sacrificed many years in perfecting. Every parents dream is for their child to succeed in life. I am quite sure our mother hoped for the same. A more realistic aspiration was for us to simply come home safely from school and not be a footnote on the evening news. This was our neighborhood, a place in constant chaos. Fortunately, our mother's perseverance and adaptability got us away from the neighborhood. I...

...took the MCAT exam in June 2016 and I scored a 523 on the new MCAT, placing me in the 99.99th percentile of all test takers. Throughout my exam prep, I developed a bunch of helpful shortcuts and strategies that helped me to do well when the time came to take the exam. After all, knowing the content is only 50% of the battle. I would love to share my knowledge and experience with those...
