...pursue a rigorous, interdisciplinary course of study that includes not only healthcare-related courses like epidemiology and global public health, but also humanities courses like Spanish and psychology. In doing so, I could begin to acquire the knowledge needed to identify illnesses and understand treatment plans, as well as the empathy and creativity needed to truly connect with patients. Allergies do not define me, but my actions to help others will. Thank you.

When Im not re-reading my favorite Shakespeare play or watching the latest comic book movie, I can usually be found jumping up and down at a rock concert somewhere in the Boston area.

...worked as a teaching assistant and tutor for undergraduate chemistry courses while obtaining a degree in electrical engineering. I worked as a private tutor for high school mathematics, history, and English to help students in both individual or group settings.

I have also provided advice on application essays, resumes, and interview strategies for Harvard College students applying to highly competitive scholarships.

...be to take on some of this material, and am on your side. My approach to tutoring is student centered. I believe each student is different and has different needs from me, and I am willing to adapt to those needs. I also understand how to help in the develop of work ethic, how to foster natural curiosity in a subject, and how to study and take notes. I also know how to take charge...

...compassionate and collaborative approach to teaching. I strongly believe that a tutor must treat his or her student as a teammate and not as someone who merely needs instruction. The goal of any tutoring session should be to bring out and foster a student's own capacity to understand and excel in a given field, which begins with respect. I am currently pursuing a graduate study in biology- where my interests primarily lie in evolution and...

I am a first year student at Dartmouth College, interested in majoring in Economics.

Well...this is tough since rather than talk about myself I generally like to discuss what I study. The ancient world, history, political systems both now and then. My chief qualification is an Hon. BA in Classics from the University of Toronto (Trinity College) as well as numerous groups, organizations, and places where I've learned and taught. Yet my chief qualification isn't a piece of paper, or...

...an argument or an original insight. I began working with students after I completed my BA at Georgetown University and went into a Master's program at NYU in Religious Studies. As a teaching assistant, I had the opportunity to talk to students about their papers and exams, and I discovered that I had a knack for getting people to relax and get into a subject, possibly because I love to tell corny jokes. While earning...
