Adeyeni

Cornell University

I graduated from Cornell University studying Biology and choosing to specialize in Neurobiology and Behavior. I have an extensive background in math and science. I was pre- med during my four years and I am currently working part time while finishing my final year of medical school. Right after graduating, I participated in City Year, an AMERICORPS education focused non-profit that partners with schools needing the most assistance. I led the 9th Grade academy where my job was to design tailored math and science curricula for 6-8 high risk academic students in 5 different classes. I provided attendance and behavior sessions for another group of students and I served as the Math Coordinator for my team. Since then, I have been working with Varsity tutors and offering academic assistance to other students in my school. Although medical school and tutoring occupy most of my time, I enjoy watching and playing basketball and soccer (futbol). I am a big fan of hip hop and the arts, as well. I have seen that the biggest challenge that prevents students from succeeding is a lack of self confidence. My mother is a part-time business owner, who couldn't operate a computer on her own until this year. When I was young, she simply decided that she was 'bad at technology' and it stuck. Eventually, my sister and I sat her down and gave her instructions on how to access the internet. The next day, we taught her how to use Microsoft word. We made sure that she focused on each skill alone and ignored everything else that seemed confusing. Two weeks later, she got the hang of it. I tutor by presenting the subject matter in a similar way while frequently setting attainable goals so that students will realize how easy it is for them to master subjects on their own. It is the same method I use to learn all of the challenging material I encounter every day. I look forward to meeting you and helping you build the confidence and skills necessary to succeed.

Abhishek

Johns Hopkins University

As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's in Neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University, I have over 5 years of tutoring experience and 1-2 years of classroom teaching. My specialties include AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry, as well as the MCAT, where I strive to create a supportive learning environment that fosters curiosity and critical thinking. I believe in tailoring my teaching methods to meet the unique needs of each student, ensuring they not only grasp complex concepts but also build confidence in their abilities. My motivation for tutoring stems from witnessing the transformative power of education; I find joy in helping students achieve their academic goals while instilling a lifelong love for science. Outside the classroom, I enjoy exploring new scientific literature and conducting experiments, which further enriches my tutoring practice.

Kathleen

Vanderbilt University

I have a Ph.D. in Molecular Pathology & Immunology from Vanderbilt University and a Bachelors degree in Chemistry & Biology from the University of Arkansas. I'm passionate about teaching, but even more about helping students find the curiosity in learning. I consider myself a life-long learner and hope to inspire others to find the same joy and curiosity. I have experience in teaching at the collegiate/graduate level as well as with middle school/high school students. I spent a lot of time in graduate school learning how to communicate effectively with many audiences and am eager to put those skills to use. My communication and teaching skills are consistently ranked as a strength, and I even have a few awards to show it. My specialty is in advanced-level biomedical sciences (immunology, pathology, microbiology, genetics, etc.), but I tutor high school biology upward, as well as high-school and college-level chemistry (General & Organic). I have a lot of experience in science writing/communication and am happy to offer tutoring on writing (essays, college/graduate school admission, journal articles, etc). Feel free to reach out with any questions! I have a flexible schedule and will get back to you ASAP!

Travis

University of New Hampshire

Generally, I think most students learn best from working through problems. However, every student is different. Some students benefit more from working through as many problems as possible so they get to evaluate their progress frequently. Other students don't benefit from this approach as much, but instead benefit more from considering possible problems and feeling comfortable discussing problems and concepts. I think what's most important for a tutor to reach success with a student is to listen carefully to the student and adapt the sessions for that individual student. I am a very popular tutor because I help you discover your true potential. I listen very carefully to what you know and I bring you to the next level. I have taught math at the high school and college level, ranging from algebra through statistics. I have also worked as an MCAT instructor and an academic support specialist for various mathematics topics in addition to chemistry, physics, and organic chemistry.
