I am a graduate of Rutgers University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Sciences with a focus on dietetics. Since graduation, I have completed a dietetic internship and nutrition fellowship with the top medical centers in New York, and gained my credential as a registered dietitian. I have experience tutoring my peers in college, via a national nutrition honors society. Additionally, I have taught both college-level students and working professionals on nutrition and wellness through various channels, including education booths, science based handouts, animated videos, weekly tips and more. While I enjoy learning and teaching a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about science and nutrition. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for tests, I am always sure to tailor my approach to the individual and make the atmosphere fun and engaging. I fully believe in the power of education, and strive to make the learning process a rewarding experience for my students and myself. In my leisure time, I enjoy spending time in nature, exercising, testing out new recipes, playing music, reading, and continuing my education through a range of educational forums.

Being a Pharmacist puts the interest of others first. So spreading the knowledge that I have results in better outcome for others who are in learning process. My basic philosophy is I learned something, now it is time to give back. Strong knowledge of Medication, Therapies, Pharmacovigilance, MTM, Patient counseling and more are most important area to be a good Pharmacist. I have current experience in Specialty Pharmacy dispensing, Medical writing, Pharmacovigilance, Pharmacotherapeutics and Clinical Pharmacy. Combining prior experience in teaching and being a current Registered Pharmacist gives an add-on benefit for anyone wishes to learn the current aspects of pharmacy.

I hold a BS from Muhlenberg College in Neuroscience with a minor in music, where I was a certified tutor for 3 years. I am currently enrolled in a Master's of Occupational Therapy program. I tutor subjects including Biology and Psychology, as well as music and some math. My favorite part of teaching students is hearing them explain concepts that they used to struggle with back to me, showing their new expertise. When not at school, I volunteer extensively with the Down syndrome community. I hope to connect soon!

Tahir
12th Grade Writing Tutor • +108 Subjects
I graduated with my MD in December 2012 from Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE) in Dominican Republic. I am currently working in a hospital as a Pediatric resident (PGY3). I will be starting Child Neurology residency this year.Through my learning experience, I came to a conclusion that every student learns and masters any subject(s) in a different way. For instance, I would learn each subject on my own and then teach my fellow medical students. This helped me remarkably to pass my board exams with decent scores, and in the process I became fond of teaching. Therefore, I would like to share my knowledge of basic sciences that I have worked on since I started medical school in 2007 up until now. Above all, I loved helping others achieve the same goal by teaching, and I would like to continue helping students overcome their weak subjects and also master the subjects they are already comfortable learning. The key to success is repetition of what has already been taught.I believe that we can become whomever we want to if we put enough hard work. Overall I have learned fluent Spanish while studying abroad.Hobbies: Soccer, reading, running, hiking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in preparing for a wide range of professional certifications, including IT certifications (CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft), project management (PMP, CAPM), finance and accounting (CPA, CFA), healthcare credentials (NCLEX, pharmacy technician), and many others. Tutors can work with you on exam-specific content, test-taking strategies, and practice problems tailored to your certification's format and requirements.
One-on-one instruction allows tutors to identify exactly where you're struggling and adapt their teaching to fill those gaps, rather than having you spend time on concepts you already understand. Personalized tutoring also provides accountability, structured study plans, and the ability to ask questions immediately when you're confused. Research on learning shows that individualized instruction significantly accelerates progress compared to self-study alone.
Preparation timelines vary widely depending on your starting knowledge, the specific certification, and how frequently you meet with your tutor. Some certifications require 2-3 months of focused study, while others may take 6+ months. Your tutor can assess your baseline knowledge and create a realistic timeline with specific milestones, helping you stay on track to meet your certification deadline.
Yes. Tutors work with students at all knowledge levels, from those brand-new to a field to those with substantial experience. If you're making a career transition, your tutor can start with foundational concepts and progressively build your knowledge toward certification-level competency. This scaffolded approach helps you develop both the conceptual understanding and practical skills needed to succeed on your exam and in your new role.
Effective strategies include breaking complex topics into smaller, manageable pieces; using practice exams repeatedly to identify weak areas; and spacing out your study sessions over time rather than cramming. A tutor helps by explaining difficult technical concepts in ways that stick, creating focused practice plans, and providing feedback on your progress. This combination of targeted instruction and strategic practice leads to stronger retention and better exam performance.
Your tutor can help you assess readiness through practice exams, diagnostic reviews, and honest conversations about your confidence level. Most certification exams have published study guides and pass rates you can reference. A good benchmark is consistently scoring at or above the passing threshold on full-length practice tests under exam conditions. Your tutor can also help you decide if you need more preparation time or if you're ready to schedule your exam.
Varsity Tutors works with tutors across many industries and certification types. If you're preparing for a specialized certification, reach out with details about the exam and field—tutors often have expertise in niche areas, and we may be able to connect you with someone who's a great fit. Even if a direct specialist isn't available, tutors skilled in related subjects can often help you master the material and exam strategies.
