...biology. I'm in the honors college and in the taekwondo club, where I am treasurer. In addition to taking mostly honors science classes, I work in one of the university's research labs, where I do original genetic research. In high school, I took nine AP tests and scored 5 (the highest score) on eight of them. In addition, I got the highest possible score (36) on two of the four ACT subsections, and a score of...

...plane that tries to take off from the ground will take more energy to reach orbit than a plane that is already in the air, which is the same concept for ionization energies for atoms with removing electrons from differing subshells. With regards to tutoring math and chemistry, I am the most familiar with high school and college level students, but I am comfortable with helping students of all ages. Being able to help students...

...graduated with a bachelor's and master's of biomedical engineering from Arizona State University. I recently completed three years of my MD curriculum and am now returning to tutoring during my MBA studies. I struggled throughout high school until finally preparing for the SAT and ACT, so I'm adept with picking up just what you're struggling with - I was there once, too. Now having performed in the upper 10% of all standardized exams I have...

I try to delve down with the student and try to work out what this is, so that...

...the student towards learning the subject at hand by explaining how such knowledge will benefit that student in their own personal life. And patience is a must for successful learning! Learning requires work and effort. I attempt to make the task of learning easier by helping to motivate the student, and by helping the student overcome any anxieties they may have toward the subject at hand. I also attempt to make the learning process more...

...through everything I've done, I've always been a problem solver. This is what led me back to engineering after so walking so many other paths. I want to pass on my love problem solving in math and science. I'd also like to encourage more young people to gain general problem solving and logical thinking skills. With more young brains awake and working, humanity might be able to save itself from the mess we're in. Are...

...a family of educators, it only seemed right for me to enter education as well. I have coached various sports, worked as a graduate assistant at my university, been a high school social studies teacher and a K-8 substitute teacher, as well as a tutor.

I have two master's degrees in geography, and an undergraduate degree in history. I specialize in research and organizational skills for older students, and confidence-building for younger students.

...13 years younger than me! My family has taught me so much about working with and connecting with young kids. Having a softball background, I coached kids younger than me from the time I was 13. I loved giving back and connecting with those who needed me. I worked as an instructor at a hitting facility giving instruction to kids age 6-19. I also tutored during my master's program. My approach is very learner-based. How...

I look forward to the potential opportunity of bringing my enthusiasm for sparking curiosity and...

...student at the University of Arizona. I have a passion for science, medicine, and helping others. I have spent a considerable amount of time doing medical research.

When I am not studying or tutoring, I enjoy volunteering.

In my experience, even the most boring of subjects can be made exciting by a...

...tutor the subject. I even went to France for six weeks while in high school and learned more in that short time than I did from the three years of formal classes! That was truly an unforgettable and life-changing journey! Nonetheless, my favorite subject to tutor is chemistry (primarily general or organic). I have been "in love" with chemistry ever since my high school chemistry teacher inspired me. As I mentioned above, I took that...
