...learned much about the world, and most importantly, about myself. I play a variety of instruments and sports and enjoy dancing on a Latin dance team. As I grew older, I realized I was not afraid of difficulty. Skills like playing instruments, drawing and painting came naturally to me and while it would have been far easier to join the high school band or art club, I chose to join the golf team. It would...

I graduated with honors from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2015 with a B.A. in Classics (Latin and Greek Literature) and a Minor in Mathematics.

I have always enjoyed explaining material to others, and I find it satisfying when the students finally understand the concepts. I...

I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I achieved my bachelor of the arts degree in psychology. I have since begun a post baccalaureate certificate program for computer science. I love teaching students because I believe that education is a key that can unlock so many opportunities. The ability to help someone reach that is very rewarding.

...fact that the act of learning how to do math and the process of learning these subjects establishes a new kind of brain wiring - a problem-solving and critical thinking kind of brain wiring. So, it is not just about the specific content; it is about the methods, tactics, and tools developed to tackle those problems. While you may never encounter those exact problems again, the problem-solving skills you acquire will be invaluable for tackling...

Last month, I learned about mock trials with high school students, and it was very interesting. I have a Masters in Educational Technology from University of Pittsburgh in PA, undergraduate degree in psychology and sociology from Duquesne University, and advanced paralegal certificate from Duquesne University. I taught K-12 in San...

...in the College Fellows (Research) Program and I volunteer through the Kiwanis Family. I love working with kids and I love science, so being a tutor is a perfect fit!

...please speak them with me! My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing amount of math (through advanced calculus). Yet, I've also been reading since I was old enough to hold a flashlight (my eyes don't thank me), so if you need help with following any sort of literature, I've got your back (excluding the original text of the Canterbury tales, I never learned Middle English).

...work on how to attack the problems you might see on quizzes and exams. I find this approach keeps students from being overwhelmed with background information and helps them feel like they can tackle homework and practice problems on their own. I am currently on my gap year before medical school. I've taken the MCAT twice, first scoring a 515 and then a 518. Since then I have been tutoring in all MCAT subjects and...
