My greatest personal goal is to offer my satisfaction in my death; I wish to look back upon my life with the serene knowledge that I leave the world a better place than as I entered it. In order to best help others one must teach the willing how to help themselves. Knowledge opens doors into different worlds;...

I try to make learning fun for all students by pulling in students interests and incorporating appropriate educational games. Beyond education, I also enjoy traveling, hiking, camping, cooking, reading and playing soccer. I believe travel is one of the best ways to learn about yourself as a person because it makes you think about different cultures and judgments and allows you to reflect...

...I'm enrolled at the BU Medical school getting my Master's in Medical Science. As a recent graduate of Princeton University, I have realized the importance of the learning process. Often times the difficulty of the material comes from the unfamiliarity of the approach to it, rather than the inherent difficulty of the material. As a tutor, I hope to help my students realize that they can master the material when they learn the best learning...

...undergraduate physics and engineering students, both individually and in large groups. I am a great tutor because I am extremely patient. I believe that the best way to teach is to first listen carefully to how a student is approaching a problem. Rather than jumping in with my own favorite tricks, I help students understand which of their instincts are bringing them in the right direction, and then build on their previous knowledge and skills.

In my free time I exercise, play the piano and volunteer with the...

I thoroughly enjoyed this experience, and felt that teaching would be a great...

I have taught subjects ranging from English to algebra, from physics to dance, and have taught students ranging in age from toddlers to adults. I have also provided advice...

...love for these subjects, they have not come easily to me always. I know that Chemistry can have a particularly sharp learning curve for students and I worked through that myself, developing study and problem solving techniques that eventually led me to score a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam. History also requires a lot of time and effort, especially with memorization, synthesis, and learning how to craft an argument for historical writing. Given my...
