...as all of our ninth graders with IEPs. Three ninth graders passed the AP Biology exam and the ninth grade grew 2.18 points as a whole on the ACT science section. I therefore am an incredibly flexible teacher, who can adapt lessons to a range of ability levels and content areas, which contributes to the success my students have achieved on their state tests, ACT, and AP Biology exam. It is important to me that...

...2020. I completed both my pre-doctoral and post-doctoral training under the mentorship of Dr. Eleonore Beurel within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. As a preclinical research scientist, I investigated the neurobiological underpinnings of major depressive disorder (MDD) as well as novel avenues toward improving MDD clinical treatment options. I was the lead author on multi-year study measuring the effect of stress on mood and cognition followed by the use of anti-inflammatory treatment to...

...a near perfect attendance record, but still struggled with performing well on tests. I thought to myself, why was this happening? Students have so much pressure to perform well on standardized tests. We cram with flashcards, pull all nighters, and even sacrifice our social time to prove to the world that we retained what we learned that year. But are we *actually* learning? My goal as a tutor is to make your studies enjoyable. I...

...us, she progressed. Later on, my extensive experience in the classroom as a Jumpstart Corps Member taught me to adapt my teaching style to each childs needs. While some learned better through mnemonics and letter-to-word associations, others preferred to process information and teach content back to me themselves. The greatest lesson I've learned as a tutor is to first step back and let a student tell me their goals, show me how they take in...

...a junior/senior, I also helped prepare students for PSAT/SAT & SAT subject tests as a recommended peer tutor through my school's guidance department (ages 15-17). I have always been an avid reader, which, I believe, has helped me develop an innate understanding of grammar. I love helping students with reading, English language and literature, and writing particularly around college applications, admissions essays, and SAT preparation. I have extensive experience tutoring foreign languages through my work...

My aim is to motivate and help students navigate different stages in their education. 3. My aim is to help students grasp complex neurophysiology and electrophysiology...

...I was a Neuroscience major, and I will be pursuing my PhD in Neuroscience in the fall at Johns Hopkins. I have been tutoring high school students outside of class in college and involved in STEM academics and research mentorship as well as a translation program from and to English outside of class. I speak Japanese and French, and I have taken the PSATs, SATs, 10 APs, and the GREs successfully. I would be willing...

...at University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth and am loving every minute of clinical practice! I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Philosophy from University of St Thomas. While an undergraduate student, I enjoyed leading fellow pre-health professional classmates as campus President of HOSA-Future Health Professionals. One of my most unforgettable health care experiences was a two-week medical missions trip which involved extensive teamwork for fundraising...

I earned my PhD in Physiology from Dartmouth and taught Physiology for more than 20 years at the college level. I have found that an important aspect of tutoring is to find out right away what the student does and doesn't know in a judgement free manner. Once these obstacles are identified, we can then execute a plan customized for each student. I have found this approach to be very successful in the past.
