...working as a Research Assistant at Massachusetts General Hospital. Additionally, I am continuing to maintain the Firefighter and EMT certifications that I have used extensively over the last seven years.

In my experience, thoroughly understanding these topics will prepare students for standardized tests such as the SAT or MCAT (both of which I have taken). Overall,...

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

...an early focus on Neuroscience and Behavior, and I will be attending Medical School in the fall. I am most looking forward to tutoring in English/Literature/Writing, and Biology/Anatomy, as these are the areas that I excelled at most throughout my own education. Education is something that can never be taken from you, and as such I think it's an incredibly valuable opportunity and investment. In my spare time, I like to read, dance, knit and...

...During my year between undergraduate school and medical school, I worked full time as a nutrition educator in grades kindergarten through 12th grade in Boston Public schools.

I'm a recent PhD graduate in Bioengineering in the Boston area. My thesis involved nanoparticles and bacterial infections, but as a biomedical engineer I've had training in circuits, mechanics, some programming, chemistry and biology. Tutoring for me is a collaborative effort, following a problem-based learning with questions that will lead the student towards the answer they're looking for while providing a well-rounded understanding of why and how that answer works.

A recent graduate of Haverford College and a current student at Harvard Divinity School and Harvard Law School, I am extremely excited to work with students on topics ranging from elementary school English to college-level World Religion!

...I love science and medicine and I love teaching students to understand and appreciate how cool science can be. I believe that once you understand the concepts and how they fit into the larger framework, it makes memorizing a lot easier and it gives you the command of the material that enables you to do well on any exam. When I am not doing research or thinking about the brain, I love to play jazz,...

...they could supplement my teaching with other materials. While working as a dorm parent and as a chemistry TA, I also assisted students in studying for a variety of subjects, even those that I didn't nominally teach, such as history, French, English, and Algebra II. In this capacity, I worked with approximately twenty students outside of my official classes. This taught me to get to know kids' learning styles and difficulties quickly. In my work...

...goal is and what she or he wants and needs from me. It also means that the student understands how I plan to facilitate the achievement of her or his goal. I am also sure to learn from the student what she or he feels to be their greatest weakness or source of difficulty in the pursuit of their goal. Establishing all of these things at the outset allows me to devise the most effective...

Teaching is my passion. When I am not tutoring for Varsity Tutors, I work in medical research. I love the idea of helping patients feel better and especially kids. If I had to say something about my outlook, it is that I am thankful for what I do, privileged to be part of so many lives, and hopeful that my skills will make a difference.

I often provide real-world examples to help students get excited about concepts. Also, I use practice problems so that my...

...the task at hand, but I do introduce a certain level of silliness and play in my teaching. I think this makes a student more open to learning and more available to growth in a subject. My theater background has helped me learn a variety of memorization techniques that I look forward to sharing with my students. I understand that different people learn in different ways, so I always cater my tutoring to a student's...

...quickly learning various aspects of biology and cell biology pertaining to the blood (immune system) as part of my research at Northeastern. I have had great experiences tutoring and TA'ing in the past and found the work to be both rewarding (in helping others better learn a subject/topic) as well as beneficial for me (with reinforcing my knowledge, learning a topic I'm unfamiliar, and/or improving my teaching abilities). One of my goals as a tutor...

...be a tangible reality. Now I couldn't be happier in my career as a surgeon in training. I have ever since been "paying it forward," educating high school and college level students, and now medical students. The greatest satisfaction is seeing my students get that "ah ha!" moment when everything comes together, and then seeing them go on to accomplish what they always thought was impossible. Now that I have some free time while doing...
