I am currently planning to spend the next two academic years conducting clinical translational research at the NIH and I will apply to dual degree MD-MBA programs next application cycle,...

I have long enjoyed enjoyed working with others to help them achieve personal goals. Some of the most fulfilling tutoring I have done recently have been tutoring immigrants for the US Citizenship Test, helping formerly incarcerated individuals attain their GEDs, and tutoring children in Honduras on conversational English to obtain high-paying jobs in the tourism industry. I'm thrilled to work with anybody on any subjects of interest, reach out with any questions!

My academic credentials consist of a BA in Political Science and German from the University of...

I particularly enjoy this challenge because it is such a pleasure to find out what makes you unique and to highlight that for the world to see! At this point I prefer online tutoring sessions, but I will consider occasional in person meetings as well. Looking forward to working...

I'm a recent PhD graduate in Bioengineering in the Boston area. My thesis involved nanoparticles and bacterial infections, but as a biomedical engineer I've had training in circuits, mechanics, some programming, chemistry and biology. Tutoring for me is a collaborative effort, following a problem-based learning with questions that will lead the student towards the answer they're looking for while providing a well-rounded understanding of why and how that answer works.

...received a Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology, with an early focus on Neuroscience and Behavior, and I will be attending Medical School in the fall. I am most looking forward to tutoring in English/Literature/Writing, and Biology/Anatomy, as these are the areas that I excelled at most throughout my own education.

...but I also enjoy working with elementary and middle school students in all subjects. I love tutoring art history and introducing students to a discipline that they may not be as familiar with, and also have a passion for American and European history. For me, making a real connection with a student is a crucial part of tutoring. I am incredibly personable, relaxed, and patient and am able to set students at ease. In addition...

...it's taking forever to learn/do that problem set/get your work done. It feels super frustrating. Other times, a concept just doesn't make sense. Other people might say that it does, and that makes you feel a little bad. I have been in that situation so many times and I know exactly how that feels. But I have always decided to keep going, no matter how hard the obstacles. I have worked hard in school and...

...dozens of students for the GRE; these students report not only higher scores but deeper understanding of the material, even in areas they have struggled with for years. Many of my students have not taken relevant quantitative courses for years and have forgotten much of their fundamental math skills, but after working with me for a short time, they are able to achieve great GRE quantitative scores. Students also enjoy my approach to the verbal...

...obscure book for pleasure in a library corner, we are engaging with the words and ideas of others and measuring them for their value, use and relevance. Thinking is never done in total isolation anyway but rather is always a social exercise and activity. The best teaching and learning then, I think, allows us to consider knowledge, from the most practical to the most abstract, as both social exercise and activity. This means, as exercise,...

Hi! I teach college and grad-level math and physics. My quizzes and labs prepare students for SAT II, GRE, medical, and industry tests. I study problems from Kaplan's books and "Dummies' Guides". My students and I discuss conceptual lab design questions, some from magazines and news videos. We try computer simulations. I can help with any phase of your...

...courses at Boston University, where I obtained my Ph.D in physics in May 2016. This teaching encompassed typical introductory material (Newtonian mechanics and basic electromagnetism) for a variety of skill and interest levels, both calculus and non-calculus based. From January 2014 to June 2015, I was a volunteer tutor at Beacon Academy, mainly for algebra, for motivated students attempting to enter competitive high schools who did not have the financial means to do so without...

...a simple concept: Understand not memorize. This may seem obvious but unfortunately sometimes the education system is not based on this key idea. I am here to help you implement this strategy, no matter what area we are going to study together. My favorite subjects to teach are: Chemistry, Math and Biology. My favorite exams to teach include: SAT Math, GRE Quantitative, GRE Chemistry, and the MCAT. In general, any exam related to any of...

Most of my teaching experience comes from my work as a Teaching Fellow whilst I was earning my Mathematics Ph.D. from Boston University, and some more comes from my time as a Math Lecturer at Northeastern University. Per this, I prefer to work in Math subjects, though I am not against Physics, Programming, or other related topics. My philosophy of teaching...

For example, I worked with many first-year students as they tackled their core courses. Additionally, I...

...mathematics was at the age of three, I used math in order to tell time on my analog watch. I was so proficient at telling time that my preschool teacher would have to take my watch away because I would time her when she said, "We'll move on in a few minutes." As my mathematics education advanced through the years, math became less of a study of algorithms and how to compute, and more of...

...traveling. As a teacher, I strive to cultivate an organic interest in my subject matter while simultaneously developing a thorough knowledge of the technical aspects of that field. I do this by encouraging independent thinking in my students while guiding them through the sometimes thorny thickets of more structural aspects of our work such as grammar, punctuation, or source citations. It is my hope that my students will come away from my lessons not only...
