I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from Rice University and I am currently a first-year medical student at the Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis.

...I looked for further opportunities to tutor other students, at which point I came across Varsity Tutors. My strongest subjects include English, ACT, DAT, Algebra,and Biology. I enjoy tutoring these subjects because a lot of progress can be made in them by simply looking at different strategies to approaching the subject material.

...has always been a large part of my academic career and I have found it is often an integral part of truly mastering a topic. My tutoring approach takes a hands-on style that lets students work through problems with assistance first, and then on their own. This style allows the student to become confident in his/her knowledge of the material and face new problems with that same confidence. Each student is different and I do...

...for my interests and learning style. This education, combined with my experience as a teacher in Creighton's "Philosophy for Children" program, has helped me to understand that teaching, one-on-one or in a classroom setting, is something that I'm passionate about. I believe that dialogue between mentor and pupil, much in the style of Plato's works, is the most effective way of imparting knowledge. Despite how overbearing or intimidating that might sound, I also think that...

I'm passionate about teaching students in the areas of reading comprehension, grammar, and English literature. For two semesters I served as instructional associate for a course in introductory grammar at Syracuse University's prestigious S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I had as a graduate student. I loved seeing my students make progress and begin enjoying a course that they had been struggling with.

I am a graduating medical student who enjoys teaching students of all ages. I plan to teach students on a professorial level for my career, so tutoring is a natural part of my personality. I particularly like the sciences, and love sharing my enthusiasm for science with my students.

...emphasizing the basics every step of the way. I find that students' frustration with a concept generally stems from uncertainty regarding how to organize many intersecting ideas. Nothing makes me more proud then watching a student master a formerly daunting topic. When I'm not tutoring you can either find me salsa dancing at Atomic Cowboy, making pies, soups and fresh bread in my itsy-bitsy kitchen, or working at Pi on the Delmar Loop.

...informally assisted with test preparation. I feel comfortable tutoring GRE, ACT and ISEE test preparation, as well as Chemistry and World History. My favorite subject to tutor is standardized test preparation because I find it rewarding to see someone's score improve. I prefer an interactive teaching style because I want the student to have input on their learning style and preferences. My hobbies include yoga, reading, going to the movies, spending time with family and...

...outside of the classroom to tutoring fellow university students in Mathematics through my major department. I also started a volunteer tutoring organization with my friends through which we mentored students at a local low-performing high school and guided them through their Math and English curricula. My end in pursuing these various opportunities was not simply to improve these students' performance but to build their confidence in academia and thereafter in the professional world. Further tutoring...

Over the past few years, I've had to write papers, crunch numbers, and study for everything from the ACT to the LSAT. Now, I've got a Masters degree and am on my way to law school. I have experience working with everyone from kids to grad students and want to help people find the learning style that works best for them.

...exactly how I want to harness my talents, I know that I love the study of medicine, and think I would be a very good physician. I also believe my talents in engineering could help me better myself and others. Therefore, I feel it would be hasty for me to make a final career choice this early in my life. I do, however, believe that continuing to learn and grow in the fields of engineering...

...a wide array of backgrounds. The opportunity to become a tutor and help people gain a fuller understanding of the world is an exciting prospect to me. My education is one of the things I treasure most in my life. I can point to at least one instance everyday where a class I have taken has enriched my understanding of the world around me. That continuous gratification would not have been possible without the tutoring...

...am therefore comfortable tutoring for the new Psych/Soc section (as well as other sections of the new MCAT). For those interested in public speaking: I fell in love with public speaking during high school, when I joined my school's speech and debate team. When I began coaching younger teammates as an upperclassman, I also discovered my passion for teaching. Although medicine will be my profession, public speaking is a passion and a skill that I...

...knowledge for the 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,...

...such as myself. Ever since high school I fell in love with tutoring. After school, I would help friends and classmates with trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus and I loved the feeling of being able to transform a difficult subject in the eyes of a students and watching them develop a curiosity for it rather than view it as an obstacle. In college, I worked as a teaching assistant for Beginning to Intermediate Statistics where I...
