I am a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh that majored in BioEngineering on the PreMed track with a minor in chemistry and economics. I have tutored for several years now, ages ranging from 12 year olds to 18 year olds in subjects mainly focusing on math and science. My goal for tutoring is to get the student comfortable enough with the material that he or she could teach it themselves.

...science. I am also currently applying to medical school. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and organic chemistry. Having been a student-athlete in college, with volunteering, physician shadowing, and work commitments, I understand the difficulties with school and struggling with certain subjects. I tutor to help other students learn more, find success in the classroom, and do better for a brighter future.

I'm a Senior at Carnegie Mellon University, majoring in Civil Engineering. I love being outdoors, playing sports, watching movies, and ballroom dancing. I believe that building a supportive and comfortable relationship between a tutor and a student is the best way to make sure that we can achieve your goals together. I can't wait to get to know you!

...surgery, used specialized tools, used sanitary sheets to cover themselves and the operating table, and maintained high sanitation. Such an operation in Cameroon would have likely been fatal. Experiences in UPMC's operating room and in Cameroon's clinic have equipped me to begin recognizing gaps between Cameroon's and the United States' healthcare system. One final step to bridging gaps in global healthcare is to continue following a health care science path that provides the resources to...

...been a cell biology and genetics tutor for the past 4+ years. I currently work in an evolutionary genetics and molecular parasitology laboratory at University of Pittsburgh. I worked as a tutor for three years during college tutoring cell physiology and genetics classes. I am very hands-on, have a great sense of humor, and am very patient. My method of teaching revolves around working through the problem with the student, and then having the student...

...am part of a team that manages the medical equipment program. I have previously tutored college-aged students in a variety of math and science subjects. Math and biology are my favorite to teach. I enjoy taking more complex theories and information and scaling them down to ideas we use everyday. I also use analogies and I am a visual learner, so I employ the use of drawings, charts, and graphs extensively. In my free time...

...1 my past two semesters. I also will be a learning assistant this upcoming semester for general chemistry 1. I tutor SAT and ACT prep and math and science subjects from middle school to college. My favorite topic to tutor is chemistry. My goal for my tutoring sessions is for my students to be able to teach the topic back to me. I believe in student-centered methods of instruction and I am always open to...

Math and Programming can be confusing subjects; but they don't have to be. Allow me to guide you through the process of becoming an expert in your chosen subject!

I am a junior studying Information Systems and Management with a minor in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. I am originally from California and am part of Camp Kesem at CMU. This summer, I am interning at Concur as a software developer. I love working with all types of students and consider myself to be very patient and friendly.

I am here to help students fully understand mathematical concepts, and even learn to enjoy math. I plan to do this through the application of real life scenarios and complete explanations. I will do this using my experience as a student as well as my experience as a tutor.... My teaching philosophy is to not only teach the subject, but to help the student fully understand the concepts being used.... I would start by doing proper...

...I am happy to be able to continue doing the work that I have enjoyed so much. Despite my efforts to tutor myself as I have described, I often needed or just wanted a tutor to help me with my goals. As I have sat in front of a tutor many times, I know what mistakes students often make and how students often feel. I am an honest and encouraging tutor here to help you...

...crime laboratory chemist has allowed me to gather real-life chemistry tales to relate to my students to aid in furthering their understanding. I particularly enjoy helping students surprise themselves by their realization that they are able to understand and appreciate relatively complex chemical and mathematical concepts. I am excited to share the elegance as well as the logic and orderliness of chemistry and mathematics. Working puzzles, reading, and walking while thinking about chemistry occupy my...

...success is a very rewarding. I enjoy being able to pass along the things that helped me to do well in my classes to other students who will benefit from them. In regards to my tutoring style, I am very big on allowing my students to actively learn. I believe that this is the best way for my students to learn because it helps them pick up on new information and skills quickly.

I'm just trying to help kids get better at math and science. Whether it be algebra or calculus, I feel it is my personal duty to help whoever needs it improve their grade or their test score. I've had tremendous success tutoring these subjects in the past, and I'm confident that I can have similar results here in the future.

...rationalize them and explain back to me. I believe everybody can achieve success with proper direction, and as I learn from you I will be sensitive to your learning style and needs. Outside of academia, I thoroughly enjoy singing! I have sung since I was a little girl, and try to keep it up. I spend my free time recording songs, and editing simple music videos.. It is just enjoyable for me, and it is...

...2000 from the University of Leipzig, Germany. I have a total of 6 years college-level teaching experience of which 4 years at an overseas university and 2 years at US universities. I have loved chemistry all my life and I thoroughly enjoy tutoring this subject. My teaching/tutoring philosophy is to understand the students needs and then patiently work with them to achieve a better grasp of the chemistry concepts and to improve their skills. In...

...As such, I am well versed in a breadth of STEM fields, and have plenty of experience teaching them as well. Since my interests are in research, I stay away with dead-end "memorize this equation" methods taught in schools, since to reach any higher level of understanding, one needs basic understanding first. I believe this to be critical, especially if you are pursuing any sort of higher end programming in your future.

...the NFL and the NHL. My apologies to the local fanbases, but the Penguins and the Steelers have always been my favorite teams to root for! Outside of athletics I also have a strong interest in all types of games; board, card, and otherwise. I enjoy game theory and have recently developed a passion for chess. I look forward to working with your student and developing their confidence in the subject matter at hand, while...

...a math class at an alternative high school once a week. This taught me the importance of teaching the subject and not merely showing how to solve problems. I have a deep love for science and mathematics and I revel in the opportunity to teach others about the subjects I love. I see the world in numbers and this allows me to show students just how important math and science are in everyday life. In...
