...as an undergraduate student I volunteered for Women for Afghan Women, an organization designed to foster a nurturing environment to underprivileged women and children. I had the privilege of tutoring and mentoring these bright children who often come from troubled families.

...having taken many courses in Physics, Computer Programming, and various mathematics subjects ranging from Geometry, to Multivariable Calculus, to Differential Equations. I am also very passionate about English, Literature, Russian Studies, Spanish Language, and History.

My name is Nick Bafundo. I am a sophomore at Fordham University majoring in Chemistry and Medieval Studies. I think a mix of sciences and humanities makes for a very well-rounded person, which is why I chose my two different majors.

I have learned many different teaching strategies and methods through my experience. Every student learns in a different way so I personalize my approach...

...to daily life. The most rewarding moments in my former career as a chemistry and physics educator were to observe the spark in a student's eyes when a concept finally clicks, and he/she can apply their understanding to new problems. STEM subjects are typically viewed as difficult, but as an experienced educator, I believe mastery is within reach of anyone who is willing to learn and work hard. As a tutor, I aim to help...

...was also on the pre-med track for a few years before I changed my goals. I tutor many STEM topics to a wide range of students. Studying and learning are challenging, but teaching is as well. Since they are in fact the same thing viewed from different angles, it is true that a good student is also a good teacher. I hope I can help you in this laborious process of education.

...am currently seeking admission into medical school. I grew up in Central New Jersey as a student of the largest high school district in the state.

...Chemistry. The greatest thing about the University of Rochester is the freedom of the curriculum, which allowed me to explore a variety of classes spanning from finance and math to chemistry, biology, and even art and dance. My success during college and now at work is mainly driven by curiosity. Curiosity gives way to learning, and knowledge is a key ingredient in success. As your private tutor, I will not only help you obtain the...

...National Cancer Institute in Frederick, MD. I enjoyed learning the techniques and developed problem solving skills. This led me to pursuing my BS in Biological Sciences at University of Maryland, Baltimore County. While there, my professors trained us how to process problems and come to answers using critical thinking skills. We were taught to not simply memorize answers, but to understand them. This way of analyzing and learning science is what drives my approach to...

...and immersive. At some point, learning must become more than just completing homework assignments and shift more towards building capable individuals ready to support and lead society. In high school I grappled with this always wondering why and how what I was learning would serve me in 'Real-Life'.

I work with the student to help them with whatever problem they may have. It works...
