My goal for my students is that they understand concepts so well thatI they will remember it at any time, from answering questions in class to excelling on exams.... My goal is for my students to understand a concept so well that they are able to answer any question related to the subject.

...anyone can find success in academia, especially the sciences and mathematics. My usual approach includes asking questions rather than giving answers and explaining why every step is taken when solving a problem; this creates adaptation and independence rather. True success in a student is not measured by how well they can come to an answer while in the tutoring session but whether they can come to an answer on their own after the tutoring session.

...but it certainly isn’t easy and it isn’t always taught well. I remember looking at 2-D pictures of cells so often that I forgot that cells are actually enclosed 3-dimensional spheres! In my tutoring sessions, I work hard to make Biology come alive. Through online videos with commentary, interesting reading, and interactive application of information, my students see mechanisms, listen to explanations, and use the information to solve forensic and medical cases that I’ve created....

I love helping people understand material that they have trouble working through on their own. Everyone learns differently and there is a way to teach everyone once you breakdown the information to its most basic concepts and build up from there. I am sure that together we can set you on the right path to understanding the subject matter at hand.

...provided advice on application essays, resumes, and interview strategies for Harvard College students applying to highly competitive scholarships. Each of these experiences has taught me how to communicate concepts in clear and engaging ways. For instance, while tutoring adolescents enrolled in the Boston-based Artists for Humanity program, I would often teach students whom I had never worked with before, and thus became adept at quickly discovering and implementing the strategies that worked best for a...

...with a student to find the strategy that best suits his or her skill set when it comes to attacking questions on tests; this especially comes in handy when working towards Standardized Tests.

Outside of tutoring and my job as a...
