I grew up tutoring three of my siblings and their friends in Math throughout Middle and High School. During that time, I also coached swimming and soccer. Over the years, I've learned to show same concepts in multiple ways depending on the person I'm tutoring. And I've built up a considerable tolerance and patience through years of tutoring people with different personalities.

...love, and returned back to the U.S. I'm happily going back to school to study Electrical Engineering, currently working towards an M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Boston University. My wide educational background and teaching experience make me a great tutor. I have tutored Greek and Latin during my undergraduate studies and taught English in China for 3 years to students ranging from pre-school to graduate school. More recently, I have been taking lots of...

...I believe strongly that the student gains nothing from the tutor who does their work for them, so I go out of my way to make sure each student understands that grasping the concepts is much more important than solving the individual problems. Besides working with my siblings, I also have experience teaching swim lessons, volunteering in classrooms, and tutoring High School students. My favorite subjects to teach are Math and Computer Science. Outside of...

...know this because I was one of those students who processed information differently from my classmates. Since everyone has different ways of thinking, teachers in a classroom cannot compensate for every individual. However, I will work with students to teach them individually in a way that makes sense to them. Outside of tutoring and studying, you'll most likely see me on the soccer field. As a goalkeeper on the Colgate University soccer team, I spend...

...I know that STEM classes can be intimidating to many. Every student has their own way of learning. My job is to figure out how my students learn and work within that framework to demystify these subjects. Everyone starts life as a scientist, questioning everything in their environment, and my goal is to bring my students back to their inherent inquisitive nature. In my spare time I enjoy playing board games with friends, experimenting in...

...potential that has enabled me to complete my education up to the terminal degree of a PhD in Physiology (Neuroscience, Diabetes, Obesity). In this regard, I hold dearly the teaching philosophy that a teacher has to excel in three main domains, specifically that of an instructor, a mentor, and a professional. To enhance the educational experience of students, a teacher in the biological sciences has to possess an exceptional skill in creating the appropriate course...

I graduated with a B.S. and M.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Johns Hopkins University (GPA 4.0). I worked as a peer-learning session leader for Genetics and Physics undergraduate courses. I was also a TA for General Biology. I recently took the MCAT and scored in the 100th percentile. I look forward to using my experience, both on the exam and in teaching, to help you substantially increase your performance and reach your potential.

...If a student has solid background in the area, my style is to guide a student to an understanding rather than directly provide answers to their questions. This way, they not only get help with the topics they find challenging, but also learn how to recognize what they understand about a problem and what they do not, and how to navigate complexity and vagueness to arrive at answers themselves. This approach is far more effective...

...major in mathematics and Italian Studies, as well as a minor in physics. I peer tutored in all four years of high school in various levels of mathematics, biology, and Latin. Now, at my college I am a Learning Assistant for undergraduate multivariable calculus students and elementary Italian students. I have the most fun leading small group study sessions before exams, where we fine-tune the skills and study habits necessary to succeed on upcoming assessments.

I am a very experienced high school and middle school teacher/tutor, as I have been tutoring or teaching in some capacity since August of 2010.

...in treating students holistically, which often means helping them solidify their study habits, develop metacognition about their learning by understanding their strengths and areas for growth, become their own advocates, and take risks with the material. I strongly believe that all students are capable of accessing higher-level mathematics and I'm passionate about facilitating those access points accordingly. I'm an advocate for the idea that mistakes support learning, meaning I use students' errors and misconceptions as...
