I also have experience as a part of the Best Buddies organization during high school, and...

...I am driven by my passion for science, English, writing, literature and Spanish. I am excited to revisit these academic interests as a tutor during my "gap year" before I attend medical school next year. Although I spend a lot of time with "my nose in the books," I pounce on any excuse to go outdoors during my free time. I play soccer and lacrosse, go rock climbing, hike, surf and white water kayak- but...

I am a recent graduate from the University of Massachusetts - Amherst with a BS in Biology. I'm really passionate about science and math and love to teach! In my view, each student has their own needs, and I think it's imperative to focus on what each student finds particularly difficult.... Every student is different. Instead of covering everything taught in the class, I prefer to focus on problem areas.... I believe that learning is a personal process, and the role of a good teacher or tutor is to facilitate and guide the learning experience. Because of this philosophy, I like to push students to grasp concepts as much as possible, instead of focusing on memorization.

...of Science in Biology. Following graduation I completed four years of work at Children’s Hospital Boston in the Hematology and Oncology Department as a Research Technician investigating genetic disorders of iron metabolism in a mouse model system. After my time at Children’s Hospital, I enrolled in a graduate program at Boston University. After six years, I received my PhD in Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology and Biochemistry. My PhD research focused on developing a novel methodology...

...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, soul, and RandB in the New England area. I also...

...for a particular student (e.g., visual/tactile examples, analogies, and breaking down complex problems into smaller parts). While tutoring a janitorial staff member in preparation for the mathematics portion of her GED high school equivalency exam, I learned how to quickly identify the highest yield topics for a standardized exam and focus our efforts on those. Each of these experiences has been incredibly rewarding, and has inspired me to teach in some capacity throughout my career...

I tutor a wide range of subjects, but my favorites are Math and Science. I also have a large amount of experience in Competition Math and Science, and thoroughly enjoy the challenge they present. Outside of tutoring and my job as a veterinarian, I enjoy spending time...

...I was getting my degree in Nutritional Science at the University of Florida. After graduating, I moved to Austin, Texas and completed a year of AmeriCorps. As an AmeriCorps member I was responsible for leading an after school science program, an opportunity that allowed me to create hands-on creative lessons and gain more experience tutoring and teaching. I tutored as an undergrad, and I absolutely love science (and math too!) I have taken a multitude...

...works for me is not memorizing but really understanding the concept, apply it in my everyday life. Things started to make sense. It was an enlightment moment when I saw my first patient with Diabetes, I knew everything about it.Genetics, Pathophysiology, Presentation, Workup, Treatment plan and discussing with the patient what it means to have Diabetes. (It was sooo fun! ) I would love to help you out during your training, exam week (we call...

I employ a wide variety of educational tools in my lessons, starting with the materials provided by the student's current instructors and adding in additional tools as needed, including textbooks, workbooks, articles, multimedia presentations, videos, and hands-on models and puzzles to promote maximum comprehension and retention of concepts and skills. Every effort is made to...
