...education since high school and have been teaching, tutoring, and mentoring students from grades 6-12 and college in a variety of subjects since! I specialize in mathematics and science tutoring as well as standardized exam preparation. In the past, I have helped students achieve significant improvements and success on the SAT, SHSAT, Regents and other exams! I truly believe education is a mutual learning and teaching opportunity and enjoy helping my students achieve a thorough...

...school to college level. I graduated from Boston College in 2009 and have worked at the neuroscience and psychiatry labs at Yale and Cornell. I enjoy working with people and wish to one day specialize in geriatrics. I have taught chess and English to young children and tutored children from foster care for two years to improve their literacy skills. I plan to work as a Teacher's Assistant for Physics at SUNY Purchase this upcoming...

...and Organic Chemistry, for both high school and college age students. My personal teaching philosophy is to lead my sessions with a student-based approach. As a current student myself, I understand the frustrations that we can encounter when working to learn a new subject, and I am committed to working with students to help them learn in the best way for them. Outside of school, I am on the dance team, I pursue neural engineering...

...teaching assistant for several courses, and specializes in 1-on-1 tutoring for introductory biochemistry. Biochemistry is my favorite because of how many other disciplines it synthesizes. After achieving a 38 on the MCAT (99.1%), I began mentoring students on test preparation strategies. While planning to apply to medical school, I spend my time as a clinical research aide and a lead organizer for New York's Be The Match 5K Fundraiser. I also love dancing, weight lifting,...

...what the student needs is a further explanation of lectured material, I am also happy to provide that, but I find it is best covered within the context of particular problems: we learn best by doing, and solving homework problems is no exception. Within math, I tutor nearly every subject. Particular areas of expertise include algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus (1, 2, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC). Outside of math, I tutor first-year high...

...was truly a life changing experience, and would certainly recommend several tactics I personally employed in fully grasping the content and critical reasoning required for this exam. In the past one could survive on raw memorization and recall power for an above-par score, but this newly structured exam requires a different approach - a more cohesive and integrated one. I'm also in a binding medical program which allows only one chance to take the MCAT...

...these nights, I would simply pull together two leather chairs and doze off. The lab was really my second home. Gladly, I have matured from merely vapid admiration. These instruments are no longer my means of entertainment, but rather, the medium through which I complete my own research projects. I now appreciate the kinds of tasks that those machines are able to accomplish. The PCR machine, for instance, allows me to recreate vast quantities of...

...third year student at New York Institute of Technology and majoring in life sciences. I am planning on attending medical school next year. I enjoy learning science and plan on continuing to learn science. I have been tutoring since I was in high school, originally through a tutoring company and then unprofessionally since. I have a passion for tutoring as it is great teaching students that are driven to learn more about topics they are...

...for a tutoring service called Princeton Tutoring as an independent contractor. As a member of their tutoring base, I instruct students in Math, Physics, AP Exams and most often, the SAT. I have obtained outstanding scores and am confident I can convey instruction and techniques that have worked for me. I have a solid foundation in the Spanish language and am completely fluent in German and Russian. I am interested in Biotech and I am...

...the subjects they are struggling in before helping them with quantitative problems. For example, rather than simply telling my calculus students the formula for integration by parts, I first show them how it is derived so they acquire a good grasp of how it operates. Outside of school, I really enjoy being involved with music. I love singing, playing the drums, piano, and guitar. My favorite genre of music is rock, so playing rock songs...

...to both elementary school students, in an environmental education camp, and fellow college students, as a peer tutor. In these positions, I found great gratification in seeing a student have an epiphany in learning. I promote this learning by making analogies and other connections that the student not only relates to, but also finds interesting. In this manner I am not only able to make lessons exciting, but I also become energized myself. In the...

...the form of video demonstrations, and eventually being hired as an adjunct professor of Gross Anatomy for the Occupational Therapy program at Downstate Medical Center. I am currently in the medical education track at my school and in training to become a full-time faculty member after graduating. My teaching style is focused on meeting the student where they are. I always begin assessing the current knowledge base and level of understanding so I can have...

...as well. I am matriculating to medical school next year, and am passionate about biomedical science and helping people. I spend my free time reading, playing pick-up basketball or soccer with my friends, going on a run or for a swim, and watching sports. I tutor high school and college-level science courses, including chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and physics. I also tutor economics, at both a high school and college-level. I am also certified to tutor...

...their academic progress. I would like to offer solid support and basic skills that I have developed over the years. It takes commitment and hard work to study any course material. The first thing I do is highlight the central theme of each chapter, then work on central idea of each paragraph and tie it together to some unique concept. This tool has helped me through regular and honors courses. It is essential to be...

...I've found that knowing the intricacies of a test can improve a student's score just as much as knowing the subject material can. Different students learn in different ways but that kind of personal attention is difficult to provide in a classroom. With one on one tutoring sessions, any student can excel, even in the subjects he or she has the most trouble in. When I tutor a student, my first goal is to figure...

Hey! I'm Lorenzo, I'm currently an upperclassman at Hunter College. I am pursuing a major in psychology and a minor in philosophy.

...SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students develop a genuine passion for the subjects they once disliked (such as math and science),...

...I have tutored Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and Calculus. However, chemistry was my first love and it remains my favorite subject to teach. I have always loved science. But what I enjoy most is helping young people learn. I believe what I do best is to help students understand the physical world that surrounds them. When I teach I focus on short lessons followed by "hands-on" student activities to reinforce the lesson. When...

...can get to know students and gear the lessons toward their interests, which helps them learn more quickly, retain new skills better, and enjoy the tutoring sessions more. I particularly enjoy teaching science, writing, and test prep. With test prep I've found that supplemental work on fundamental skills helps students improve their scores much more than working through a test prep book alone. Watching students develop confidence in their abilities and improve their performance makes...

...person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn...
