My Varsity clients report high satisfaction with their Common Application essays, and they have been accepted to the schools of their choice. Many initially thought they lacked the ability to make a distinctive case for themselves, but they found they had plenty to write about when they worked with me. Some clients come to me struggling with graduate school applications and...

I earned my undergraduate degree in biochemistry at Brown University and my Ph.D. in immunology at the University of California, Berkeley. I have been teaching both introductory and advanced biology courses at the University of Maryland, College Park for over 10 years. For fun I enjoy reading science fiction, doing crossword puzzles, swing and ballroom dancing, and playing ultimate frisbee.... I try to bring a broad perspective to my teaching. If one approach doesn't click, then another might. I also try to make personal connections between my students and the material.

I understand that sometimes, the way you package and organize information is the most important part of teaching it to someone else, and that understanding someone's method of processing this information is the easiest way to get it to stick. Like I do backstage, I am excited about solving the puzzle of how someone learns best, and inspired by the idea of recognizing the specificities of each individual and treating each student with...

Not only does this empower students, but it also gives them a framework to understand and tackle...
