...have known before. This is a rewarding experience for me. The subjects I am most passionate about are Chemistry and Biochemistry. I am most comfortable with these subjects, since they were my majors in undergraduate school. Eventually, I hope to be a college professor full time. I value knowledge because once it is attained it cannot be taken away from someone. If a person decides to use it, it becomes even more valuable.... It's all about...

...I love the most about teaching is to bring basic biology concepts to life through my research experience. I am able to illustrate basic biology concepts with clear and simple examples that my students can relate to. When I start interacting with a student or a group of students, I get to know them first. Getting to know my students is a key aspect in determining the best approach to convey complicated biology concepts to them....

I recently graduated from Kent State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology Pre-Medicine.

While I was a student at the Ohio State University, I started off studying Biology. After taking a few Chemistry courses, I added it as another major.

As a student, I understand how difficult school can be. Breaking down difficult concepts to more basic, understandable ideas can make all the difference. Learning should be tailored to one's needs, and classrooms cannot always teach that way. I look forward to helping students work to their full potential, and make the learning process easy. In terms of experience, I have been tutoring for 6 years now, with ages ranging from kindergarten through second-year college students.

My passion for education stems from a desire to become more aware of the world around me and to help...

...I majored in biology and minored in chemistry. Having gone to small schools my whole life, I believe in the power of small group/individual interactions for learning. While memorization is important for certain things, I always appreciated understanding the "why" and "how" in school and I try to help my students achieve that level of understanding as well. I prefer to guide students through their problems to help them learn the skills needed for their...

...both parties are willing to put in effort, it’s hard to fail. And if the student doesn’t truly want to learn the material, then it’s important to ask why that is, and how to change that mindset—because as “useless” as many students think learning how to, say, calculate an integral or write an essay analyzing Austen is, most of the skills they pick up along the way do serve some purpose later in life, both...

...I discovered VarsityTutors. Tutoring allows me to use my experience and skills to help other students grow and learn in subjects they like and in subjects they dislike. What is most important to me is whether or not the student truly understands the material they are learning in class. In my experience, when a student "gets it," they are given confidence to continue to learn in that subject. The most exciting thing for me as...

...ranging from evolution to sickle cell disease in a way that resonates best with their diversity of learning styles. I have come to believe in a tutoring style that prioritizes establishing a sound conceptual foundation that a student can later extend into more advanced content and novel applications.
