...in Saint Paul, MN with a BA in History and Classical Civilizations. During my junior year of college, I studied abroad at Oxford University where I focused on Medieval British history. While in College, I taught a group of 9th grade students at a local synagogue. My class focused on the role of women in some of the most pivotal stories in the bible. This experience gave me first hand experience in tailoring subjects to...

...Resident at Kansas University Medical Center. I am ready to tutor a number of subjects, but I would like to help students with MCAT or GRE test preparation. I favor the Sciences but I would be happy to tutor in any subject. I was a TA in college and taught other learners in medical school and residency.

In my free time, I am an avid collector of bottle caps and...

...few points more on a standardized test that translates into more scholarships and better chances for admission into more schools. Tutoring for me is a transfer of knowledge that the typical classroom of one teacher to twenty or so students doesn't allow--it's more personal. By use of whiteboards, practice problems, constant repetition, and positive encouragement, students start to understand the problems themselves and are more likely to be able to solve similar problems by themselves...

With two years of experience as a tutor at the Math and Resource Center at UMKC, I have gained many skills that allow me to be confident that my students have effectively mastered what they are learning in the classroom and are able to apply it to real-life situations. I have learned to adapt to the individual needs of each...
