...tailoring my tutoring technique specifically to each student, as I am fully aware that each person learns in unique ways. As a student myself, I approach my tutoring sessions as both a helper and as a peer, but never as a superior. As evidenced by my schooling, I have been trained at two top scientific institutions, currently at University of Pennsylvania. This extensive science and clinical background lays the foundation for my ability to help...

...every tutoring session should be totally centered around the student and what they need to learn best, whether that means doing example problems together, reviewing past material, or looking at the questions in a new way. Getting to know the student, their interests, and how they think is the key to making progress. Many times I will ask students to verbally process while they work so I can see how they are thinking better. Outside...

...whom I am working. Before meeting, I try to first assess problem areas to strategize a plan that will make the most impact quickly. I find that students make the best progress after they initially succeed in grasping a difficult concept. I really enjoy teaching and I particularly like the one-on-one aspect of tutoring. Teaching is also a great fit for me right now because I am in the process of starting my own non-profit...

...experience, each student needs individualized tutoring. Personally, I am a visual learner, but I know that not everyone learns that way, so I accommodate to each student's needs. My first student with ADD showed me the range of needs each student can have. Other students have different needs, and I like to push my students to their full potential. Communication is key to success in the tutor-student relationship, and I work hard to make sure...

I also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity and really enjoyed getting on...

...health science / biology major, and now medical students in their first and second year prepping for the COMLEX / USMLE. With kindergarteners, I had the pleasure of working at a local elementary school and assisting teachers with 5-10 kindergarten students at one time. As an anatomy and physiology tutor at Quinnipiac, I held weekly review sessions for 50-75 students to assist with any material learned throughout the week. Currently at my medical school, I...

I am certified to teach Biology and General Science in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I attended The College of New Jersey for Biology and Secondary Education and graduated in 2007. My philosophy about science education is that it is fun and offers vast opportunity for discovery. As a student, I was chided for having too much fun in science class and I want to bring this enthusiasm to all students who are struggling in the...

...always been the saying "see one, do one, TEACH one. Education has always been important in my family; and all four of my kids are graduates of the UC system. They all experienced the trials and tribulations of SATs, National Merit, AP courses, etc. In my spare time I have built lifted off-road four wheel drive vehicles, every desktop computer we have owned from components, have mastered unusual computer programs such as AutoCad, and have...

I really enjoy forming a mentor-mentee relationship with a student and building their confidence,...

...in college, I have a strong soft science background (including marine bio, freshwater bio, ecology, genetics, molecular bio, biochem...) so please connect with me if you would like to work together in a science class. I eventually got to medical school, but a lot of classes didn't come easily for me along the way -- I know how it feels to hit roadblocks, but I have also gained valuable experience about how to overcome them....

...academic path, I have learned that we learn best when we are able to both apply the material we learn and have fun in the process. Because I am passionate about the sciences, I incorporate them into my everyday life and teach with enthusiasm and creativity.
