...on my toes academically, but to help those who may be struggling with various subjects throughout their academic careers. There is no better feeling than watching someone have a eureka moment of understanding, and I look forward to meeting and working with new students. As a Colorado native, I love spending my free time hiking and climbing my way through the Rockies. I also enjoy playing volleyball (being 6'8" has its advantages) and teaching myself...

...on one tutoring during my junior and senior years. But I wasn't always someone who like to study notes and read books. It wasn't until my junior year when I met a mentor who changed how I would look at the rest of my career. He was an organic chemistry professor who began the class explaining how he got to where he was today. You see most professors are naturally brilliant at the college level....

...rest of their lives. I've also had some experience in helping classmates with subjects such as Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. I strongly believe in the idea that, if a tutee does not understand a concept, it is my fault for not having conveyed the concept effectively and in concrete terms. Tutoring sessions should be stress-free to allow for real learning to occur. My most favorite subjects to tutor include Organic Chemistry, Biology, General Chemistry,...

...a BA in Environmental Biology. I first started tutoring during my gap year between high school and college when I helped build a local tutoring service with a friend. Even though that tutoring service is no longer operational, I continued to tutor students throughout my time at Columbia. As a tutor, I understand that each student is unique. Instead of doing to same routine, I like to develop a tutoring strategy that caters to each...

...Texas-Austin, and in the Honors Biomedical Engineering Program. Throughout high school and into college, I have tutored students of all ages; anywhere from my employment at a mathematics tutoring center to private lessons for students my age. Other parts of my life include playing sports (tennis, soccer, ping pong, basketball), jamming on the piano, and doing extracurriculars at school. I believe the most effective teachers are not those who know the most, but those who...

...received my two Bachelors of Science degrees in Biological Sciences (Animal Physiology and Behavior) and Political Sciences with a certificate in Civic Education. Since graduating, I have started working with the Denver Math Fellows helping close the opportunity gap for high need students by providing small group math instruction. I find the most excitement in tutoring middle school math and science, Algebra I, and General Biology. I find that for most students what makes any...

...I discovered VarsityTutors. Tutoring allows me to use my experience and skills to help other students grow and learn in subjects they like and in subjects they dislike. What is most important to me is whether or not the student truly understands the material they are learning in class. In my experience, when a student "gets it," they are given confidence to continue to learn in that subject. The most exciting thing for me as...

...University of Georgia with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology. During my time at UGA, I was employed under the Biology Department as a teacher’s assistant for the Principles of Biology course. Each week of the semester I held review sessions and went over the lecture material presented. I was also entrusted with grading exams and classwork. Being a teacher’s assistant not only allowed me to solidify my understanding of various biology concepts, but also...
