...received my Bachelor's degree, and am currently finishing my Master's degree, from CSU Fullerton. I have two years of teaching experience at the university level and placed in the 97th percentile on the MCAT. I am currently in the process of applying to medical school. I currently work part time for Covina High School and Mt. San Antonio College as an athletic trainer. Having a strong background in the basic sciences, especially in biological sciences...

...While I am comfortable tutoring any of these, I am particularly strong in Biology, Chemistry and English. My years of tutoring experience have consistently taught me that students rarely struggle with the mere 'difficulty' of a subject. Almost always, their issues really stem from the subject matter being poorly, incompletely or inconsistently explained to them, either by a book or by a teacher. I very firmly believe that any subject can be taught to, and...

...students at a weekly Girl Scout program in Watts. In high school, I tutored for the SAT as well as teaching swimming lessons for over four years, so I am very confident in my ability to make complicated topics understandable. My favorite area is standardized testing. I love the look on a student's face when they realize that they don't have to be nervous about an exam - that it can actually be really fun...

...problems and feel proud when they succeed. I hope my patience and easy-going personality combined with a drive to see students achieve all they are capable of, allows me to do just that. For me, education is a key to a successful and fulfilling life. I want to use my experience and skills to help students feel great about school and their own accomplishments in scholastic endeavors. Outside of academics I enjoy sports, primarily basketball,...

...graduated from the University of Southern California in May 2014 with a B.S in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention and a minor in Law and Society. I am able to tutor in multiple science subjects, standardized tests (SAT, ACT) and social sciences (public health, political science). I would be happy to help with any age. I help students by getting to know their background and understanding of the subject and helping them build upon that...

...As such, I enjoy learning and teaching both humanities subjects and the sciences. In the past year, I have tutored high school and middle school students in a number of areas, including preparation for exams like the SAT. I especially enjoy tutoring in Biology because I love watching my students get excited about what they are learning and how it relates to different everyday experiences. For that reason, my teaching style focuses on helping students...

...am a recent graduate from UCR and received my bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences. As a biological sciences major, I am very familiar with all branches of sciences especially biology. However, I would say my forte or the subject that I'm most familiar with is Physics and General Chemistry. The main reason for this is my love and knack for mathematics and logic but of course there are other factors such as my work and...

...NBME exams, and USMLE Steps 1, 2CK, and 2CS. I also speak Spanish and have worked with students whose primary language was Spanish. I very much enjoy teaching and find it to be some of the most rewarding work. I believe my experience both as a student and tutor, my creative teaching methods, and my planning and organizational skills make me a great teacher. I am excited about the possibility of working with you.... I believe in motivating students and empowering them with the tools to succeed. I like to start by identifying areas for improvement using practice tests and by having the student explain what areas are particularly difficult. Then, I like to develop a detailed and thorough plan of attack, working together with my student. I often let my student lead the session to maximize individual benefit. I use practice questions and practice tests often to gauge learning, improvement, and areas that need further work. I always work with the student as a team, and always ensure goals are clear. It is important to have clear and reasonable goals to work towards. I very often have the student teach the material back to me and ask the student questions about the subject, both as a way to gauge learning and as a way to solidify it.

...myself, I have always had to create tools, draw pictures, or make games for myself in order to learn, and I bring that to my tutoring style. I truly believe that any student has the capacity to learn and excel in academics--it's up to the tutor/teacher to find a creative way to teach! The sciences are my specialty, as evidenced by my college major as well as my medical school preparation, but I have worked...
