Since graduating in May with two degrees in biology and psychology, I have spent my time going through the medical school application process.

There is no better feeling...

...my close friends. Now that I have graduated, I realize how much I miss tutoring and helping others.

I do so by using...

A good teacher will be able to change strategies to accommodate for differences in learning styles.

...I was a National Merit Scholar for the PSAT. I'm awfully pleased to be putting my poor, neglected English degree to good use! My tutoring philosophy generally centers around identifying a student's strengths and weaknesses, and giving them the organizational and problem-solving skills they need to address academic challenges on their own. I've conducted writing workshops and edited newspaper copy since I was in high school, and I strongly believe that when it comes to...

...of experience teaching biology, from AP/Honors level biology to 3rd grade level "Making Neuroscience Fun" programs. When students are struggling, the issue is more than simply getting better grades. Many students feel angry, hopeless, and uninterested in school when they are having trouble.

I want all my students to feel like they are heard and that information is being presented in a way that is right for them. Communication is key. School and standardized...

While students learn in many different ways, I think being comfortable with their tutor or...
