...and a minor in English. In the fall, I plan on attending Stanford School of Medicine with the long term goal of a career in academic medicine. My teaching experience includes volunteering to tutor low income students as well as TA'ing for several introductory biology classes at Caltech. I was also a Dean's tutor in subjects such as biology and chemistry. Currently, I tutor in MCAT preparation for all three sections. I enjoy teaching all...

...When I teach and when I learn I draw associations so concepts can be readily remembered - this is especially true when learning a language or when understanding math/science concepts. In my free time I enjoy being active! I like most sports and outdoor activities but recently Ive started to refine my rock climbing skills. When time permits Im also an avid traveler and foodie, I like seeing other cultures and tasting their signature dishes....

...their writing skills - it is wonderful to see the improvements students are able to make in this area from the initial outline to final draft. I also enjoy helping students with math - it is neat to show students multiple ways to go about solving a problem and see the lightbulb go on when they get the method that works best for them. I am passionate about education because it opens the door to...

...been preparing for the MCAT as I plan to apply to medical school in June. I have always had a knack for tutoring. I have worked in peer tutoring programs, private tutoring, as a classroom teaching assistant, and in college tutoring. I am available to tutor in a vast majority of science and math areas because of my major and preparation for medical school. In my spare time I love to be outdoors doing activities...

...in Los Angeles. Over 50 percent of students at Western Avenue were English Language Learners with abilities ranging from Below Basic to Above Grade Level. My approach throughout was to set high expectations for students, make lessons personally and culturally relevant, model and insist on higher-level thinking, facilitate meaningful conversation, and highlight the importance of collaboration via project-based learning. Since graduating from USC, I have worked as an Admissions Coordinator at the University of San...

...I am a student myself and realize that a variety of methods may work when trying to solve difficult problems. I learned from a lacrosse coach in high school that "perfect practice makes perfect" and would like to help students develop effective problem solving habits rather than teach them how to memorize answers, as many people end up doing. In my free time I play soccer, guitar, flag football, computer games and do yoga.... I believe that while every student grasps material naturally at different rates, all can find success through a combination of hard work and proven strategies. I typically prefer to work alongside the student with the resources already available to them to demonstrate how they can improve their efficiency and achieve their academic goals.

...essays for grammar, coherence, and lively phrasing. I had to master standard reading and writing skills pretty quickly after I received a scholarship to a tough private high school in Connecticut. Students read a novel and a play a week, submitted poetry and fiction to the literary magazine, and wrote a fifty-page research paper over one summer to turn in the first day of their senior year. I discovered that great writing rarely calls attention...

...to begin to take on a coaching and private instructor position. While this is not an academic tutoring position, I believe it was vital in helping me to understand how to best approach a range of situations and the many ways that a lesson can be taught or a problem can be solved. During my college career at Virginia Tech, I was able to get involved with the Student Athletes Tutoring program and would meet...

...of Redlands with a B.S. in Business Administration and a B.A. in Psychology. I am an experienced elementary and middle school tutor. While I most enjoy teaching English, I have experience tutoring in all middle and elementary school subject areas. I have tutored students in one-on-one sessions and after school "homework help" programs. In my spare time I enjoy running, hiking, swimming and baking. I also volunteer at the San Diego Humane Society.

...some organization, perseverance and passion (and a bit of fun) one can accomplish any goal they have in mind. These are some of the transferable skills that can be taken beyond academia and into daily life. Outside of tutoring, you can find me either a research lab or training for a race. Besides my ongoing engineering research project, I enjoy outdoor activities immensely and actively take part in triathlons (whether it be participating or volunteering)....
