...and disengaging study habits. I believe that successful test scores in scientific subjects require consistent, active engagement with information being studied, centering on practice problems and challenging oneself to truly understand rather than rely on memorization. No matter an individuals natural affinity for the sciences or other subjects, I will strive to develop active strategies that promote efficient preparation and allocation of focus, skills that are indispensable in preparing for AP tests, college exams, and...

...the skills they need to demystify exams such as the ACT, SAT or TOEFL is really a rewarding experience. When I'm not tutoring or working toward my degree at UMB, I enjoy spending time with my family—my husband and I have one small, silly dog (eight years) and one small, daughter (six months). I'm working on several knitting projects to keep all three of them warm in the coming winter and riding my bicycle as...

...of my cases. Although I was a visiting scholar for one-month in oral and maxillofacial surgery and attended residency seminars in orthodontics, I realized that many of my patients needed more advanced dental care that I had yet to master. Wanting to expand my learning, particularly in implants and full-mouth rehabilitation of the teeth and gums, I visited a colleague in the U.S. For three months, I assisted with treatments, learned about technology, and observed...

I have been a teacher for ten years. I have taught at eight different schools and thrive in mostly the Humanities. While a high school teacher at heart and by profession, I have also worked with elementary age children with learning differences....

...the potential to be a successful reader and a successful writer, and the two skills really go hand-in-hand. When I'm not in classes or working, I love to travel, and I spend a lot of time doing poetry-related activities: I write my own, read the work of my fellow poets, contribute and edit with a friend's independent publishing company, and attend all the readings and open mics I can. I also play terrible acoustic guitar...

...test. I am always excited when a student finally has that "ah-ha" moment and declares that they now can see how all of these seemingly separate scientific topics are actually all related. The MCAT no longer seems scary, but turns into a means of truly learning this material and providing a strong foundation for the future. I also have extensive experience in the concepts and mathematics behind many economic topics. I have tutored in all...

...and art. I then earned my PhD at Vanderbilt University in Microbiology. Now I work as a research professor at Harvard University's Rowland Institute. I have a passion for science and really enjoy helping others understand it. I tutor in biology, chemistry, math, and art.

My preparation to go to graduate school enabled me to become very familiar with test prep strategies and I am also a competent guide for preparing to take both college admissions and graduate admissions exams.

...in language teaching techniques for both French and English as a Second Language. I was a French literature major who graduated cum laude and received highest honors for my senior thesis. I have spent hundreds of hours teaching English and French in classroom settings, and I bring all this experience to bear in my one-on-one tutoring sessions. I am prepared to help students of all levels improve their French and/or English language skills, from the...

...refining my skills to meet evolving educational and professional landscapes. Teaching has also taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of empathy. These qualities have driven me to pursue opportunities for personal and professional growth, as I believe that an educator's journey is incomplete without a commitment to self-improvement and a willingness to learn from those we teach. My four years of teaching have been instrumental in shaping not only my career but also my...

...I studied several other concentrations while at Simmons. I studied abroad in Japan, after several years of studying Japanese language and history. I earned a BS in Biostatistics, and tutored financial accounting as well as microeconomics. From 9-5 I am buried in excel sheets and data queries as a business analyst, working with database systems. I enjoy helping students pass their least favorite courses, and discover that statistics and financial mathematics aren't always as scary...

In addition to Biology, I've helped students master reading, writing, and standardized test preparation skills. I love working collaboratively, and I'm passionate about helping people reach their goals in a way that fits their personalized learning style. I believe solidifying knowledge in a way that complements each student is...

I have worked as a Teaching Assistant, Research Assistant, and as an Actuary, and have a particular passion for teaching Mathematics. When tutoring I try to include visualizations and real world examples whenever I can so that it does not feel like a fruitless exercise. I help students reach their goals with a two-pronged approach: reinforcing and building upon...
