...of Engineering in 2014. In 2015, I received my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Stony Brook University. I am a research engineer and have 5 years of work experience as an engineer. In addition, I have worked with students throughout high school, college and post-college as a tutor. While I tutor a variety of math and science subjects, I prefer to tutor math. Algebra has always been my favorite subject with chemistry as...

As someone pursuing a medical career, I understand the value of lifelong learning and the skills required to do so. Thus, I hope that I can share what I have learned in my journey so far so that other students can become strong learners...

...Marshall College in Biochemistry and Neuroscience. I have been tutoring for the past 6 years and really enjoy teaching. Ideally I like to find out what the student is studying/struggling with BEFORE I visit so that I can make a visual study guide/review along with a few practice problems so that we can spend our time effectively. My strategy is not to tell students the material, but rather have them understand the concepts for themselves...

...life they want. I believe the best way to help people learn is to help them see the real-world connections to what they are studying. However, learning is not always easy. As a tutor, I help each client identify what is getting in the way so I can help them overcome the obstacle. Sometimes it is helping them understand something conceptually. Other times it is helping them see how what they are studying is connected...

I have a passion for science and really enjoy helping others understand it. I tutor in biology, chemistry, math, and art. The last one is because I am a visual learner and have had a lifetime of learning to illustrate complex ideas into something understandable. I can touter...

...mastery of a subject is dependent on how it was presented and the limitations you have placed on yourself. My teaching style varies with the student. I like to use many examples, pictures, videos, and funny stories that can help the student apply the concept to in-life situations. I believe when the subject is placed in perspective, there is much more understanding. When I am not interpreting legislations and reading about breakthrough medical devices, I...

...B.S. in Biology, I pursued further graduate coursework at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. There, I studied Molecular and Human Biology. Performing research, assisting classes, and organizing seminars during graduate school inspired me to pursue a temporary job as an adjunct professor upon returning to the U.S. Teaching here in New York City has better enhanced my pedagogical skills and has taught me a great deal about the differences between group learning scenarios and...

...I am pursuing a medical degree. I have been tutoring in some capacity for over four years. I have tutored students from 1st grade to 12th grade in both mathematics and sciences. Almost all of the students I tutored went to were in the public school system of New York City. My interaction with these students has taught me that each and everyone one of us is capable of learning even the most difficult of...

I am a Junior Chemistry major, Physics minor at UML. I also work on campus at the nuclear research reactor.

...in the biological sciences. I am now a clinical research assistant. Throughout my education, a number of teachers have helped me to work toward my dream of attending medical school and becoming a pediatrician. I love tutoring because it is an opportunity to teach and inspire students, helping them to pursue their dreams as well. I have experience working with students of various ages in a wide range of subjects. I especially enjoy teaching biology,...

...in Microbiology. I like to tutor because I enjoy helping others; whether explaining a concept or helping to solve a problem, I love the feeling when someone that I help reaches a moment of realization.

I also enjoy learning about the brain and studying why people behave and operate the way they do, which...

...I also received my Masters of Science in Neuroscience from Brandeis University. Since graduation, I have lived in Medellin, Colombia where I am doing research through the Veterinary school. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about math, chemistry, and neuroscience. I am a firm believer that natural ability has little to do with success in a subject. Everyone can succeed at math or chemistry if they are engaged, having...

...2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade, with additional experience in 1-on-1 tutoring with 2 SAT students. My experience with teaching stems from not just an instructor's perspective, but also as a student; attending after school tutoring from the age of 13 to 17 years old. I believe this is one of the reasons I can connect to students so easily, because I understand the difficulties with learning. My tutoring sessions involve a very interactive approach...

...people in my life and the world. But before my restless energy discovered a love for German language, I was an enthusiastic dental student. Born into a family of physicians, my interest in healthcare came naturally. However, my grandparents' influence had the biggest impact on my passion for learning. As a boy, I spent much of my time with my grandparents. Both compassionate nurturers, they cared for me and taught valuable life lessons. Retired from...
