I believe in teaching to the student and building up from there. My current job as a learning specialist with learning impaired and at-risk students has shown me that engaging a student on their level helps lay a solid foundation for progress. Working one-on-one enables me to taylor my lessons and approach to the individual in a way that ensures positive growth and eventually tangible results. I love working with young minds who have the potential to exceed expectations.

I am a teacher with 19 years of teaching experience. Most of my experience has been teaching math to middle school students with learning disabilities. I enjoy working one on one with a student to help him or her understand a concept. I view math problems as puzzles to be solved. I use real life examples and manipulatives to help students solve the puzzles!

I graduated from the University of Georgia with a B.S. in Psychology in May of 2021 with a 3.85 GPA.I have ample knowledge in a variety of psychology courses, including cognitive psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, and many more. I also excel in organization, planning, and study skills which I would be happy to assist you with.I am passionate about helping others reach their highest potential and I believe one of the best ways to get there is through education. I will help you set goals, develop skills to reach those goals, and be there through every set of the way.I look forward to working with you.

I am a student at Nova Southeastern University. I am pursing a degree in Psychology and Behavioral Neuroscience, with a minor in Honors Transdisciplinary Studies, and am also part of the the Bachelor of Science/Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Dual Admission program. In the past, I have tutored elementary school and high school students as part of service projects in my area. I plan to work in pediatrics in the future, as I love working with children. I tutor a vast range of subjects, but I am most passionate about Science, Math, and Psychology. I believe that education is very important and that there is always something new to learn. I try to pass this on when I teach and express a love for learning so my students will find a love for it too. In my free time, I enjoy reading, hiking, traveling, exercise, dance, and the occasional sports game.

More than twenty years ago, the year I was born, my father underwent a coronary artery bypass graft procedure and almost died due to unforeseen complications. My mother would tell me how lucky I was to have even met him. He has a twenty-five year history of poorly controlled diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia and throughout my childhood I witnessed firsthand the suffering that these comorbidities caused himand in effect, our family. I accompanied my father numerous times to the emergency department and doctor appointments then, and continue to do so. I called 911 and then rode along with him in ambulances as he complained of severe chest pain and dyspnea. Witnessing my dad being brought out on stretchers countless times made me feel helpless but motivated to investigate the intricacies of his diseases. In medical school, my curiosity for understanding these disease processes only grew as I learned about the complex interplay between comorbid pathologies. As an internal medicine resident, I will further dedicate my career to the physiology, treatment and management of patients suffering from these distressing, and often overlooked illnesses.During my internal medicine core and sub-internship, we dealt with patients with multiple comorbidities and non-communicable, chronic disease. For example, there was a fifty five year old African American man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension and, chronic renal failure on hemodialysis who presented with shortness of breath and bilateral leg edema. I noticed the patient guarding the upper right side of his abdomen; I performed a complete physical exam on him, but focused on that. He had upper right quadrant tenderness on palpation, which I reported to my attending. I suggested that it could be congestive hepatopathy due to right-sided heart failure along with his bilateral leg edema, and that we should order an echocardiogram to evaluate his heart further. This showed that his ejection fraction had reduced significantly from his prior records to less than 35%. From speaking to the patient further, I gathered he had been skipping his furosemide dose because of increased urination, which he had not admitted to until now. As a team, we formulated a plan that involved patient education, optimizing his medication, and the placement of an AICD. I felt a sense of gratification, knowing my thorough physical exam, detailed history and, education on AICD usage helped improve this patient's management and quality of life. Experiencing how the interactions between these disease processes manifested in this patient ensures that me that there will always be more to learn. I experienced also, how important interactions with specialists such as endocrine, cardiology, pulmonology and nephology were, as they added depth to management to the patient. For me, he was a patient who typified my experience in internal medicine.In addition, I find internal medicine to be a very emotionally rewarding field, because of the moments of comfort a physician can provide, in critical moments. I recall, for example the hospital course of a sixty-year-old Caucasian female patient with cervical cancer and metastasis to the brain. She was refusing to eat and had no family to support her during this time. The attending, residents and nurses all had tried to convince her to eat but had little success. I imagined myself in her shoes and started to empathize some of the feelings she must have been experiencing. I sat by her bed, just to keep her company. After two hours, she eventually opened up to me and confessed that she was scared she was going to die and had given up on life. I began to spoon feed her banana pudding and I still remember her smile to this very day. Though I will have different availabilities with regard to time, as a resident, I know that I will strive to create the emotional space for such connections with patients in residency and afterwards.With the knowledge and experience I gain from your residency program, one day I hope to become a hospitalist and then pursue a fellowship in cardiology or endocrinology, so I may provide this specialized care that patients in urban areas so desperately need. I plan to take an active role in research during residency, specifically in cardiovascular health, and find a program that supports such endeavors with state of the art facilities. I also am interested in program with protected didactic time so that I may continue to advance my knowledge and develop my clinical skills in a structured manner. Having rotated at an urban hospital New York, I look forward to working in a similarly culturally diverse environment to provide the finest patient centered care, and learn the most from cases, while also serving an underserved, and marginalized population. It is with this vision I hope to be a great addition to your residency program and be given an opportunity to manage complicated patients, where once I was merely watching diseases progress in my father.

I also volunteer at our local community center, where I serve as a tutor and mentor during open gym.I have consistently been studying for the LSAT while working full time at the DAs Office and part time as a real estate agent. Through my diligent studying, I have gained a very strong understanding of the concepts and material that is found on the LSAT. This understanding is illustrated in my recent LSAT performance: I scored a 167 on the June LSAT, which is in the top 94th percentile. I am currently preparing my law school application for Fall 2018. As I prepare my application, I am passionate about working with my fellow aspiring law school students.

Hello,My name is Joubert and I have a degree in Chemical Engineering from MIT. My interests are science and math along with College prep (SAT/ACT). For two years in college, I was a lecturer for an AP Chemistry class that ran for the whole academic school year. I am currently a teacher for the SAT. I'm very excited to be a tutor for VarsityTutors. I have a very methodical approach to teaching. I want the students to understand the rationale behind the question. Yes, the student may get a specific question right, but what about other problems? Will the student have the skill set to solve other problems. To aid the student in learning, I draw in examples from other disciplines or my own experience when I learned the topic and what helped me in my own understanding.Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
