Award-Winning Immunology Tutors serving Cambridge, MA

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

...worked with infants and children from 2 months to 13 years of age. I take the time to help my students find the best learning style for them and tailor my teaching approach accordingly. I work to find creative ways to help students understand tough concepts. My goal is to foster critical and abstract thinking, time management skills, and problem-solving skills in my students so as to help them become independent learners and reach their...

...experience as a teacher spans from my responsibilities as a graduate teaching fellow in Instructional Biology at Boston University and my role as a research mentor of undergraduate students. I firmly believe that an effective tutor should be passionate, engaging and patient, as well as cognizant of the individual learning style of their student. As a strong visual learner myself, I appreciate the importance of tailoring individual lessons to complement a student's strengths. I am...

...AP Chemistry Exam. Regarding college students, I served as a note taker for the General Biology course, a tutor for the Cell Biology course, and a tutor for a Biochemistry course for graduate students. After college, I attended the University of Pittsburgh for graduate school and earned my PhD in Cellular and Molecular Pathology. During graduate school I was a mentor for a junior high school student in a summer program and helped her design...

...go to school and worked on their own in small groups in order to achieve their educational goals. Since moving to the United States, I have also had the opportunity to work with students in my school as a tutor. This has offered me a wide diversity as I have worked with students from several countries and from different backgrounds. Because I come from a bilingual country, I am fluent in French and English, and...

...evaluation from past experiences to help my students find success and gratification as well empowering learners to develop their own strengths, beliefs, and personal attributes to become a well rounded professional nurse. I love to teach and come up with new strategies and materials to help students learn the best they possibly can. I understand that it's not a one size fits all for each student.. and that's perfectly okay. I work with each of...

...teach a subject as well as solve a problem. I chose to tutor once I started graduate school in 2013 as I saw teaching as an opportunity to teach myself how others learn, and I could build upon that. Outside of academia I work in the field of pharmacy, where I teach patients or other healthcare providers about medications daily. I strive to always improve upon my current practices, never to be satisfied, and hope...

...a range of subjects including SAT prep, English, Math, Biology, and Chemistry. I am most passionate about Life Sciences. However, I'm a stickler for proper grammar which is very suitable when it comes to helping students with their SAT prep or English studies. I am a firm proponent of education, knowing that it is vital for an improved quality of life. I try to impart this philosophy to all of my students while still maintaining...

...bring up a white board and we will go through the topic point by point and at the end I will test your understanding of the subject by going through a few questions from reputable question banks (Uworld). I'm also open to other teaching methods. Before our session will begin, I will usually call you and ask what material you want me to cover and what to spend our time on (in-depth review of material vs...

...when I was a PhD candidate in UMass Amherst. During my master's degree, I set up and ran an Immunology workshop for students and supervised student-led seminars. In all my experiences, I held office hours to provide support to students and help clarify any topics they had trouble with. I am passionate about teaching and truly believe it is a noble endeavor. My favorite teaching memories are the times when I see that "aha moment"...

...math subjects especially those related to medical school admissions and NBME examinations. However, I have years of prior experience teaching and tutoring science and math at the middle school and high school level, and am comfortable with that content as well. I have worked with children and teens extensively as a lifeguard, swim instructor, and certified CPR/AED/Lifeguarding Instructor during high school and college. Education is one of my passions in addition to medicine, and I...

...exciting and accessible. One of the things that makes me a strong tutor is the way I learn myself. I have a hard time accepting information as axiomatic - I like to understand why something is true before moving forward. As I learn, if something new contradicts something I learned before, I prefer to investigate and clarify the discrepancy to the extent possible rather than just trying to remember the exception - of course, in...

Throughout my academic training, scientific research felt not like a mere career choice for me; but an opportunity to fulfill my fundamentally inquisitive nature. Along this journey, I chose to focus my study on neuroscience and obtained a Ph.D. in this field. Now, I work in the biotechnology industry: writing patents for universities, emerging biotechnology companies, and inventors alike. This academic trajectory has enabled me to garner a fierce strength in writing/editing, biology, neuroscience, and...

...like to encounter a difficult subject, and the frustration with having to study for a particular exam, or for a course that is uninteresting but a prerequisite, which is why I have developed methods over the years to effectively study the material while enjoying the process. Studying can and should be entertaining, and that makes retaining the material easier, and taking the test or passing the course less stressful. I also know that preparing for...

...tutored students for the SAT and the MCAT. I served as a TA at Berkeley for the general biology lab course where I assisted in teaching lectures and contributed to writing the lab exam questions. Also, I have been recently accepted into medical school (so I've learned quite a lot about the application/interviewing process). While my specialty is biology (perfect score on MCAT biology section), I am well versed in other areas of science. On...

...the blood (immune system) as part of my research at Northeastern. I have had great experiences tutoring and TA'ing in the past and found the work to be both rewarding (in helping others better learn a subject/topic) as well as beneficial for me (with reinforcing my knowledge, learning a topic I'm unfamiliar, and/or improving my teaching abilities). One of my goals as a tutor for Varsity Tutors is to teach subjects I'm passionate about, such...

...and provide the tools necessary to help you accomplish your biggest dream (or just pass the exam...) After all of that reading, writing, not sleeping, drinking seven eleven coffee's in the middle of the night, I treat myself with things I am passionate about. I loooove to exercise (yoga, weight lifting, walking, biking, hiking) read good books (not that medical books are not good, but a little bit of Paulo Cohelo wont hurt me) singing,...

...a MS in Public Health from SNHU, and a CCM - certification in case management. I love the English language and enjoy reading and writing, which is what I love to tutor.

I feel I have really strong study skills and would love to share with others what I have learned as a life long learner.
