Award-Winning MCAT Tutors in Trenton, NJ

...summer school. In reality, however, my experience with teaching new concepts to students began well before this, as I helped fellow classmates understand what was taught in class. I pride myself in being well-rounded in my academic pursuits, and the subjects I teach range from mathematics to the sciences, along with geography, critical reading, and writing. Not surprisingly, my favorite subject to teach is biology, mainly because of the strong and long-standing personal interest I...

...Emergency Preparedness. These experiences inspired me to continue this passion, striving to make learning a fun, insightful, and a lifelong process while helping students learn in the easiest and most effective way possible. My favorite subject to teach is math, specifically the SAT/ACT math sections. As someone who values education and intellectual curiosity, I hope to impose this same philosophy on my students. In my 7+ months working with Varsity Tutors, I have found profound...

...to helping students succeed because I know from my own experiences as a student that, at every level of education, from elementary to graduate school, the support and encouragement of a passionate teacher can turn a diffident or apathetic underachieving student into a classroom star. My favorite subject to tutor is standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, GRE, etc.) because such tests cover a finite body of material that can be taught and mastered. In addition...

...concepts when it seemed that mere repetition wasn't working. With that student, I gained experience tutoring up to junior high level math, high school science, English, History, as well as SAT Verbal Reasoning prep. My experience with another young teen student showed me the importance of developing a quick alliance with the student enough to at least help them see me as more than someone their parents had hired to make them do something and...

...steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. My approach with these tests emphasizes strategy over content; a particular vocabulary word may or may not appear on the actual test, but knowledge of how to approach a...

I have also volunteered as an AmeriCorps Watershed Ambassador for the state of New Jersey and assessed the health of neighborhood streams in the Rancocas Creek Watershed, taught in the classroom and educational workshops on a variety of environmental issues, and trained citizen volunteers of all ages in the science of stream monitoring. In college, I was a member of the ROTC program. Upon graduation, I...

...I worked as a TA in both the "Introduction to Biology" and "Biochemistry" courses, where I was responsible for both private and group tutoring. While earning my doctorate in Medical School, I employed myself as an MCAT tutor, providing educational tutoring as well as test-taking and time-management skills coaching. As a medical intern, one responsibility consisted of simultaneously directing the teaching of medical school students and outpatients coming to the various subspecialty clinics for educational...

Hi! My name is Claire and I'm excited about the opportunity to work with you! I graduated from Amherst College in 2015 with a degree chemistry and plan to matriculate to medical school this August.

For the past year, I have re-enrolled at Drexel University College of Medicine to take graduate-level classes such as two semesters of Biochemistry as well as Graduate Neuroscience and a medical school course titled Medical Neuroscience. From May 2021 to January 2022, I conducted spinal cord research at Drexel University College of Medicine, where I...

...in high school in various subjects. I believe that the key to achieving academic success in any given subject is to find a study method that works for you. I have had a lot of experience with trial and error myself, and would love to help others personalize their study habits to work for them. By working individually with students and personalizing their study strategies, I would love to empower and educate young minds to...

...a lack of complacency. I always want to be somewhere or do something that I have not yet achieved. I believe it is this drive that allows me to pursue my passions, both academically and socially, and to be successful in both. I find that my greatest happiness comes in the form of little victories such as a good grade on an exam, or making a friend laugh! Its because of this that I really...

...apply the material we learn and have fun in the process. Because I am passionate about the sciences, I incorporate them into my everyday life and teach with enthusiasm and creativity. I recognize that every student has different styles and rates of learning, so I cater my lessons to best align with each student. I will never ask my students to work beyond their capabilities, but I will strive to show them they are capable...

I have also received a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of New Hampshire....

...keep my tutoring relationships long term. Currently I am taking time off from school in order to pursue other life goals outside of the classroom. However, with that being said, I am currently in the process of applying to Medical School so that I may begin working towards my Doctorate in Medicine in the Fall of 2014. When working with students, I try to approach problems from various angles as often science has parallels in...

...is developing an in vivo model of tau pathology. In a previous life (during graduate school) I was a researcher at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense, where I used histochemistry, in vivo electrophysiology, and behavioral assays to test efficacy of potential treatments for some of the most toxic chemical weapons on Earth. My academic background includes psychology, behavioral neuroscience, and neuropharmacology. I am quite knowledgeable in experimental design and statistical analysis....

I am a medical student who sees the world from the perspective of a teacher. I am not satisfied with my understanding of a topic until I feel confident that I can explain the material to another person. I am excited about the opportunities to continue my education so that I can spread my knowledge to the community.

...tutoring style is personal and interactive. Learning as a student, I was deeply gratified by the teachers who inspired my interest in science and had the faith to invest in my talents. While teaching my own students, I have enjoyed instilling the same love of learning as well as an attitude to persevere through their own challenges. I acknowledge that every student faces his/her unique obstacles and understand that students learn at varying paces through...

I have been teaching and tutoring since 2012, helping students in a number of different areas, including the MCAT sciences and even swim lessons! I am currently employed as a private MCAT tutor and content creator. As a tutor, I especially enjoy adapting my teaching to the different methods of learning and thought that each unique student has. Most of my free time...

...I've taught students of all ages in the past and I believe it is important to curtail your teaching methods to the student's favorite learning style. Whether you're a visual, auditory, or tactile learner (or some combination of all three!), I'm confident I can assist you in understanding and mastering difficult concepts! I plan to matriculate to medical school in the summer of 2014 after taking a gap year filled with relaxation, a lot of...
