...is contagious and I love to see my students get excited about a subject they previously thought was too challenging, dry, or boring. I like to make the material come alive. For example, when I teach biology, I love to interweave real life examples of how a scientific principle can be seen in nature or in our bodies. I graduated from Barnard College, Columbia University majoring in Linguistics but then did a post-bac for Pre-Med...

...MCAT and have often tutored peers facing difficulties in these areas. Although I struggled with Physics in high school, I approached it differently at NYU, was extremely intrigued by it, and decided to pursue a minor in it.

There is no universal way to study, and understanding how a student learns new...

Because every student learns in their own unique way, my teaching style is designed to pinpoint each student's individual strengths and weaknesses to develop a customized tutoring experience. My 3+ years of experience as a science teacher in Morningside Heights and beyond have made me appreciate the power of one-on-one instruction and the great advantages that exceptional grades and test scores can provide during the college admissions process.

...that world in whatever way I could. That is how I discovered VarsityTutors. Tutoring allows me to use my experience and skills to help other students grow and learn in subjects they like and in subjects they dislike. What is most important to me is whether or not the student truly understands the material they are learning in class. In my experience, when a student "gets it," they are given confidence to continue to learn...

...lab. Along with my passion in the sciences, these experiences allowed me to fortify my pursuit in becoming an MD. During the summer of 2015 I sat for my MCAT examination - an entirely new beast. This was truly a life changing experience, and would certainly recommend several tactics I personally employed in fully grasping the content and critical reasoning required for this exam. In the past one could survive on raw memorization and recall...

...better view of the PCR machine whenever she used it. I wasn't really interested in what it did, but rather, in the noise it made- a low, grumbling hum. Then, there was the fume hood, a glass and metal contraption that I thought was from another world entirely. It had multicolored valves that I didn't dare touch; although I will admit that I did have the urge to stick my head under the glass opening...

...passionate about foreign languages, the humanities, and social sciences.

Having achieved top scores on both the SAT and SHSAT, along with various regents tests, I know what...

...continues to grow as I meet more capable, intelligent young people who often just need insight into how to tackle the mass of material they receive in the classroom.

On top of that, I genuinely enjoy tutoring.
