Demonstrating how to make an ice...

...perform better, and then to help you implement the technique to successfully solve similar problems! Throughout my experience tutoring a wide variety of students in SAT and ACT, I have developed a database of methods to help students understand difficult concepts, for every student learns in different ways.

...separate sessions, and ask me the same questions. I quickly learned that the professors were simply reading off slides; taking little time to explain difficult mechanisms and concepts. As such, few students were learning the material, and almost all of them needed a tutor to re-explain the material. As a result, I developed the ability to tutor at a pace that matches the students' needs. I truly mean it when I say I take my...

I'm a recent PhD graduate in Bioengineering in the Boston area. My thesis involved nanoparticles and bacterial infections, but as a biomedical engineer I've had training in circuits, mechanics, some programming, chemistry and biology. Tutoring for me is a collaborative effort, following a problem-based learning with questions that will lead the student towards the answer they're looking for while providing a well-rounded understanding of why and how that answer works.

...in history, English language, English literature, biology, and statistics, SAT subject exams in history, English literature, and biology, and the MCAT; I am also EMT certified in the state of Massachusetts.

...I babysat/tutored twin fourth graders and guided them through their virtual schooling. This included helping them with homework, answering questions, providing further prompts/assignments to understand the material at a conceptual level, and providing support and encouragement when they struggled. My teaching philosophy stems from my strong belief in the importance of social emotional learning. The first step in all of my teaching and tutoring experiences has been to establish trust and comfort with my student. I...

For instance, I like to incorporate practice questions during the sessions, and I encourage students to explain the logic behind their answers. This approach allows me to determine their mastery of the material and the limits of their knowledge. Since space repetition has been proven as an effective learning...

...on breast cancer and drug treatment. I am able to teach general STEM subjects, but I am most passionate about biology. I have extensive experience mentoring underclassmen, who typically major in the natural sciences, on how to succeed in STEM classes at Yale.
