...fun) as possible. I always try to gain a deep understanding of the concepts that I learn. It may seem like a lot of work--which sometimes it is; but trust me, it is always worth it in the long run. With this technique, at times when I don't remember a particular information, I will still remember how to obtain it. After all, not all of us are blessed with the gift of photographic memory! And...

Graduated from Columbia University with a M.S. Neuroscience and from UCLA with a B.S. Psychobiology. Taught high school biology and chemistry for 2 years.

I have tutored in both individualized and group settings for various purposes, including SAT test prep, supplemental learning, and as a primary teaching resource. To that end, I have endeavored to truly understand my students on a personal level to make sure that the way I am tutoring them is the best way for them to learn. I have constructed lesson plans for both a single person and an entire 30 student classroom.

...Chemistry) and scientist, I have ample experience to bring to the table to help students succeed. My favorite part of teaching is making direct connections with students, understanding their strengths and struggles, and helping them move through difficulty to experience success. I make sure to focus on the emotional development of a student, not just the intellectual, because I firmly believe self-confidence is an essential ingredient for growth that can serve a student well beyond...

...I began tutoring around the same time, working with the same student for three years. We focused primarily on organization, studying strategies, and any subject matter that gave her particular trouble. Outside of tutoring, I am a working actress! I love having the freedom to create something meaningful to put out into the world. I also enjoy taking walks through the ENDLESS Seattle parks, trying to find as many dogs to pet as possible!

I am a professional scientist with multiple years of experience in the biopharmaceutical field.

...easy for the one being subjected to its process is either ignorant or unwise. One could suppose that's another way of pointing out those who haven't been part of it, but that's not my purpose. My purpose is to aid those in the muck of it so their efforts and time expenditure are met with appropriate results, because things are not easy and often times quite grueling. But we deserve better from those who might...

I have led collaborative efforts across multi-disciplinary research groups including those focused on immunology, advanced imaging, and gene therapy throughout my career. My proficiency in scientific writing includes preparation and organization of numerous grant and fellowship applications, including budget formulations. In graduate school, I learned how rewarding teaching can be while instructing...

...Washington's interdisciplinary Bioengineering program. This is a highly competitive program that requires proficiency in nearly all areas of high school and college level science and mathematics subjects, which is why I chose to teach these subjects on the Varsity Tutors platform in 2018 (my freshman year of college). When I'm not tutoring, I like to spend my time running, hiking, reading, coding, and doing research. If there's anything else you'd like to know about my...

...purpose and joy in the mastery of even the most challenging of subjects. In other words, I aim for tutoring to not only be an aid for mental understanding but an avenue for turning the subject at hand into a fulfilling part of the overall life of the scholar. Therefore, I also work well with those who may be struggling with self-esteem and motivational issues as a result of academic struggles. In my spare time,...

...and Molecular Engineering. My goal is to help students reach the point where they won't just be able to ace exams, but will in fact be able to teach material back to me, since that is the sign of true understanding. When I see someone's face light up when a complicated set of ideas is distilled into a viscerally understandable (and exciting!) bite-sized concept, I get a sense of fulfillment like nothing else. Learning math...

...My major is currently undeclared, though my primary interests are Computer Science, Comprehensive Mathematics, and/or ACMS: Discrete Math and Algorithms, with a possible minor in physics. While, I am passionate about all of these subjects, I am also generally interested in the progress of technology, and find myself excited at any new breakthrough. I am a firm proponent of education, and believe it to be necessary for a proper quality of life. In my free...

...Health and Portuguese, while also pursuing pre-medical studies. I have gained a wide variety of teaching and tutoring experiences in classrooms and via community service work. I was a teacher's assistant for grammar and honors chemistry courses at the high school level. I also assisted English Language Learner (ELL) students with questions regarding their high school coursework. No two students are alike, so I strive to personalize tutoring sessions to best facilitate the learning of...

I believe that education takes form in various stages and via different platforms. If you struggle with a particular material, dont despair! We just need to tweak the way you learn the material.

...many different subjects, but at my core, I am a scientist and I love helping students learning specifically, chemistry, biology, and medically-related sciences. Ive taken many standardized tests, most recently the MCAT, and I am prepared to offer tutoring help to prepare for this exam, both academically and also with tips to deal with the stress and challenge of that test. I am an adamant believer that everyone is a life-long learner, and no matter...

When I tutor, I am working to share my excitement for learning. Each student is different and deserves to have a personalized experience, and I take pride in identifying my students' learning styles and tailoring their sessions to fit their relationship with academics. My primary goal is to help my students achieve theirs.

My philosophy of tutoring is to help students achieve their academic goals and help them become comfortable about their learning processes. I have experience working as a writing tutor at University of Washington for the past two years and am comfortable tutoring in math and science from my recent study for medical college entrance exam (MCAT).
