...out at all skill levels (elementary through college). Excelling in these studies myself, I guide my students on study skills, tricks and trades to the subject, and how to best tackle difficult problems. I cater to the learning styles of all students and try my best to find the easiest way for us to tackle a challenging subject so that once on your own, you feel confident in your abilities to excel.

...strengths and weaknesses. I want to encourage students to always be able to explain why they picked a certain answer or what steps they took to solve a problem. I also want students to have a connection to the material and understand how it relates to their existing knowledge. The more connections we make between concepts, the better understanding we have of the big picture. When I'm not working or studying, I like to spend...

...through National Honor Society, then providing more informal one-on-one help to fellow students at MIT. I've also worked extensively teaching swim lessons for the past five years, particularly to beginners.

Every effort is made to use the types of materials that best suit each student's individual learning style. While I believe all learning is inherently an enjoyable process and work...

...with each other. I particularly find the intersection of microbes with human health (be it good or bad) to be interesting. I also enjoy tutoring Elementary Math and Algebra. My favorite part of tutoring is helping students achieve their goals and become more confident in subject areas that are difficult. For each student I work with, I try to identify the areas of most difficulty for them, establish goals to help overcome these difficulties, and...

...I was always asked to help with homework and studying for exams. I found that I love teaching people how to learn; the light that turns on in a student's brain when they finally grasp a difficult concept is very rewarding. I am passionate about math and sciences, and received my Ph.D. earlier this year in Genetics and Molecular Biology. Throughout my life from a very young age I have been helping peers and mentoring...

...it is to help students understand material and become more successful in their educational paths. Having been both homeschooled and a student at school, I have a unique philosophy on education. I believe that learning material at your own pace skimming over the information you know well and spending more time on what you find difficult is crucial. I also think that truly understanding the material on a deeper level is more important and beneficial...

...Science and Biology, and a first year Bioinformatics PhD student at Harvard. As a student of 18 years myself, I am passionate about structuring education in a way that enables students to not only learn new material but also engage with each subject in a way that will empower them to use their knowledge to improve the world around them. I am humbled and eager to work with students through Varsity Tutors!
