Teaching is about taking my own energy, positivity and excitement and sharing it with students. I have taught in high schools, summits from Boston to Beijing and have always found that students are able to learn and grow when they are challenged and excited by those teaching them. I believe that any student who finds a course boring, or impenetrable, simply hasn't found the right teacher yet!

...how they can best work with their strengths. Students need information presented as simply as possible, yet can benefit from thinking about the same information in different ways; striking this balance keeps students engaged. I also answer and ask questions carefully, helping students learn how to think through problems on their own and truly understand the correct answers. Through working with me, students can become more independent and confident, knowing that they have the critical...

I can't promise those kinds of results, but I can definitely help you create a study plan, set goals, identify problem areas and try to make your practice as efficient as possible.

I am available to tutor nights...

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.

...essays. I love languages, so my favorite subjects to tutor are English and Spanish. However, I tutor a wide range of subjects including math and standardized test prep including the LSAT. I am a proponent of trying to find a learning style that works for the student because we all learn differently and need to see material in different ways. In my spare time, I like reading fiction, knitting, and watching movies.

...models for my own behavior. One of my proudest moments was working as an undergraduate instructor as part of my doctoral program at Northeastern University.

As a graduate student at Boston College, I believe that education can open new opportunities throughout life. With two years of volunteer tutoring experience, with both 4th and 8th graders, I believe in making learning fun, relevant and interactive. Every single student learns differently and it is vital to learn how each student learns in order to aid them in succeeding.

...III) and discrete math. There are few things more enjoyable than being of service to students trying to learn difficult material and seeing the gears in their heads start to turn as their confidence builds. I truly love studying math, and I work hard to communicate the beauty in math to all of my students. Having studied math at an advanced level for a few years now, I have a privileged insight into the rich...
