Award-Winning MCAT Tutors in Manhattan, NY

...Sinai Hospital studying pediatric immunology and biochemistry. I will be conducting research until I begin medical school in Fall 2013. I have over four years of tutoring experience including a teacher's assistant at Skidmore, working with local high school student,s and coordinating with my ice hockey team to complete several community service projects in our area. My experiences as a tutor, team leader, published researcher, and NCAA athlete have taught me to form strong bonds...

...understanding. I love seeing a concept click and inspiring confidence in my students as they advance through increasingly difficult topics. I also like tutoring test prep because there is no hiding behind the raw numbers, and I enjoy helping my students maximize their potential and achieve their goal scores. Sometimes, a little motivation is all that is needed for a student to excel, and I always work to relate what I am tutoring to a...

...tutored biology for most of my undergraduate career and thoroughly enjoyed it. Tutoring is one of my passions because I love learning and want to show others the joys of learning too. I think one of the greatest things as a tutor is seeing the face of someone you are tutoring when they have a "eureka" moment. Although most of my tutoring experience has been in biology, I love reading and so am happy to...

...biology, chemistry, algebra 1 and algebra 2. Biology and Chemistry are my favorite subjects to tutor in because they reflect my teaching philosophy the best. My philosophy includes: having students practice scientific literacy that bolsters content knowledge, learn through strategy based methods meaning applying concepts for the long term, and lastly, correcting misconceptions through experimentation and student-centered learning. Strategies such as hypothesis formation and elaboration of evidence as well as experimental design can be applied...

I believe in teaching students to learn how to think and problem-solve on their own. I use examples and analogies that students can relate to in order to help them master material. I will be attending medical school in the fall.

...also have my students work through as many problems as they can on their own. When a student has struggled through a problem and succeeds by themselves, they learn more than they possibly could through an explanation. I then work with my students on the problems they could not accomplish to show them how to best tackle it in the future. My tutoring strategy is to not only teach the subject material, but to also...

...course for students fulfilling their General Science credits. My time spent as a TA included lecture style teaching and overseeing laboratory sessions for a 20-30 student class, as well as small group and one-on-one tutoring sessions. Next year, I will begin my residency training in Internal Medicine and Neurology, and I am hoping to stay in New York and work at either Cornell, Mount Sinai, or my home institution of NYU. I am experienced...

...I begin every tutoring session by gaining an understanding of the current knowledge of the student, and gradually building on that knowledge. In this process, I present information in an organized manner, with lesson plans, as well as suggested reading material and other assignments, as needed. I also offer test preparation tutoring, mostly on the biology section of the MCAT and all sections of the LSAT. If you have a specific section or topic you...

...exam, but rather its true value lies in boosting my pupil's confidence. Many students feel that they are simply not cut out to understand material, and this feeling is the actual block to learning. My students should and will know this fear is just not true, and I make it my mission to prove it by the time the session is over. I will show them that they came in daunted, and they finished solving...

...As a pre-medical student, I've had plenty of personal experience with managing a rigorous course load, test anxiety, and time management. My experiences as a student help me relate to my students. Having been through the stressful college application process myself, I can give my students the advice and encouragement they need to be successful. In my free time, I enjoy exploring New York City with my friends. I grew up in the Midwest, so...
