Ning

Thomas Jefferson University

I was accepted to Sidney Kimmel Medical School (class of 2025) on 10/15/20 at Thomas Jefferson University after obtaining my undergraduate degree in Biology at the University of Notre Dame in May 2016. With that said, I will dedicate the same quality of care to my students as I would to my future patients. To me, tutoring is mainly about cultivating a passion to learn in the student so that they are able to achieve their ultimate goal. Accordingly, my approach to tutoring is not merely to cram facts into your brain, but also focus on organization by establishing a plan during our first session. If this is what you are looking for, I sincerely look forward to working with you. Thank you, Ning Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nzhou48/

Sarah

Johns Hopkins University

I recently graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a Bachelor's of Science in Neuroscience. As a prospective medical student, I have and will continue to spend a lot of time in the classroom, understanding what makes teaching and learning most effective. I work to integrate my studies into my tutoring, focusing on giving meaningful examples to help drive complex topics home and provide plenty of opportunities for repetition to increase retention. I have a few years of formal tutoring experience, primarily in middle school and high school math, though my focus and interests have shifted since then. Now, my expertise lies in neuroscience, MCAT prep, and all the relevant class material included in those specialties (biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, physics, etc). I've spent most of my education informally tutoring those around me. Whether it was a teacher's request to help explain a concept to my peers or taking the initiative to help out my peers with challenging subjects, I've had plenty of practice working with a variety of subjects and students. I hope to help students not only learn material but understand how they best learn and study, raising their confidence and comfortability inside and outside of the classroom.

Fernando

Johns Hopkins University

Hi! I am a math and science enthusiast first and foremost. Officially, I am a Harvard Biophysics graduate student. I enjoy problem-solving, discussing science, and sharing my expertise with others. I double majored in Applied Mathematics & Statistics and Biomedical Engineering. I love teaching Physics, and I have extensive experience tutoring Discrete Math and Real Analysis. I also served as a teaching fellow at Johns Hopkins University in Probability and Statistics, and later at Harvard University in Stochastic Processes. In addition, I completed a variety of foundational and applied computer science courses in college and applied these skills in various projects. I have been fluent in Java, and today I primarily use Python and R for my research projects. While most of my teaching experience is at the college level, I also enjoy working with high school students, whether in standard, honors, or AP- or IB-level courses.
