Ning's profile
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/

David's profile
David
University of Pennsylvania
I'm an archaeology PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania with extensive teaching experience at the college level. I've taught at Penn, University of the Sciences, and Methodist University in various social sciences, including anthropology, sociology, statistics, public health, and psychology. As a teacher, I'm guided by the idea that what I'm doing with students should be useful to them long-term. Making topics interesting, relevant, and accessible is of paramount importance because it allows students to hone skills that they'll use for the rest of their lives. Teaching is fun for me because I love getting to facilitate and witness my students' breakthroughs. There's nothing better than getting to that eureka moment!

Germaine's profile
Germaine
Princeton University
Hello! I'm Germaine and I am passionate about supporting and empowering students to achieve their academic goals. Over the last five years, I've had the opportunity to help hundreds of students succeed on various standardized tests, research papers, course finals and more across a range of disciplines. Two years ago, I transitioned entirely to ACT, SAT, and LSAT prep where I began focusing on tutoring students in a 1-on-1 setting, and it was here that I discovered my enthusiasm for helping students navigate the nuanced layers of these exams. My love for tutoring comes from the fun of simplifying complex concepts into smaller, more easily accessible units. By cutting down large problems into their constituent parts, any student can become a faster and more efficient problem solver - it's amazing what one can accomplish by employing these effective techniques! My goal as a tutor is to effectively impart these formulas to my students and equip them with the knowledge and confidence to approach any academic challenge that comes their way. After receiving my Bachelors in Philosophy from Princeton University, I moved to the Boston area where my true passion remains teaching and tutoring. Much of my time is spent working with my students, volunteering as a math tutor for disadvantaged schools, and exploring new methods and practices for improving my teaching skill. Experience teaching a variety of subjects and ages has also imbued me with a knack for creativity in coming up with individual lesson plans tailored to fit each unique student. Depending on their particular needs, background, and learning style, I come up with creative solutions to make the material relevant and engaging. Whether through analogies, drawn explanations, or useful anecdotes, I strive to create material that inspires a passion for the subject matter in each student. If you're looking for an experienced tutor who is dedicated to helping students reach their full potential, then feel free to contact me!
