Brandon

Certified Tutor

I have recently graduated from St. Matthew's University as a Doctor of Medicine and am currently waiting to enter the 2023 Match Cycle for Residency. I have made my career by studying hard, going to school and overcoming my academic weaknesses. But I wasn't always this strong in academics and I have even needed my fair share of tutors in the past.
I struggled with math for a very long time and I worked with many tutors to try and improve. It wasn't until one of my tutors pointed out that my hand writing was too small and my work was sloppily written. By just working on my hand writing and organization I improved significantly in math.
I realized that my problem wasn't necessarily understanding the material. There was something else in the way causing me to perform poorly. I gained the ability to identify the barriers to my own learning and appropriately overcome the challenge, resulting in the academic success I enjoy today.
When I tutor students, my ultimate goal is not only to help them improve their academics, but also teach them the organizational and study skills they need to identify their barriers and rise to their academic potential.
