Award-Winning Graduate Test Prep Tutors in Pittsburgh, PA

...a broad range of subjects, though I hold some preference to teaching mathematics-related courses. What I do in my free-time is rarely consistent. These days, I've been trying my hand at writing a video game in Java. This is still in a very early developmental phase, but I hope to end up with an 8-bit rpg-platformer for Android. I have also been known to enjoy playing the guitar, cooking and reading philosophy, sci-fi, and comics.

My interests other than those mentioned above include running, reading, music, and spending time with my friends and family!

...enjoy teaching mathematics, physics, and biology. Although, for me, understanding physics provides the most intellectual satisfaction, I believe that the union of these three fields provides for some of the most interesting phenomenon present in contemporary empirical study. Additionally, I like assisting students in preparation for the ACT because in the short term it provides direct results that students see. Outside of school, I love playing tennis, weightlifting, and reading fantasy. I have played tennis...

Once in medical school, I was asked to help tutor other first years (and then second years). This was very rewarding to me.

...studying towards a career that minimizes gaps in global healthcare. Finally, when I participated in the Summer Premedical Academic Enrichment Program in Pittsburgh, the third step to understanding disparities in global healthcare occurred.

Such an operation in Cameroon would have likely been fatal. Experiences in UPMC's...

From the country flea market to the civic opera, watching blockbuster films to the independent arthouse offerings, I like to engage with all of the cultural productions that are available to me. It is in that spirit of 'Carpe Diem' that I enjoy being a part of the...

...University of Pennsylvania as a Twenty-First Century scholar this fall, I am excited to take on my role as a lifelong learner - I know how empowering education and just figuring things out can be. I want to help students learn to love, too, for that precise reason. Be it scoring higher on a standardized test or needing help through a class they are taking, I want to help them understand and have the tools...

Teaching the student and then testing their knowledge with a worksheet or quiz.... Making the subject...

In this capacity, I teach math ranging from pre-algebra through pre-calculus. I will walk students through problems ranging from probability and combinations to sets of linear equations, and also provide them with helpful strategies to ensure...

My belief is that all students of all levels and types are capable of learning. It is just a matter of putting in the effort and taking the correct approach. In some cases it is a matter of putting together a series of small victories and gains before reaching the ultimate goal, but all students can get there!

...subjects: Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, AP Calculus, English/Language Arts, Writing, Social Studies, U.S. Government, Biology, and Social Studies.
