I am a strong proponent of framing intelligence as a muscle that is...

...and then decided after college to pursue medicine, completing a one year post-baccalaureate premedical program at Bryn Mawr College. Having personally undergone the transition from a humanities to a science student, I feel passionately that the sciences can be learned by any student, even those for whom it might feel a little more challenging. Working as a tutor for biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and neuroscience, I actively implemented this philosophy, finding creative ways to...

...Public School system. While working in local public high schools, I have successfully tutored students both for their own personal gain and for increased performance on college entrance examinations--such as the SAT and ACT.

...am currently taking a year off between hopefully matriculating into medical school fall of 2016. I have done extensive coursework in biology, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, trigonometry, calculus, psychology, sociology, and lab sciences. I have also recently taken the new MCAT and believe that I can teach my tools for success to any pre-student willing to learn them. I have been a teaching assistant for both General Chemistry I and II for two semesters each and...

...that something as small as a virus or bacteria can wreck so much havoc on the body. I finish off my nerd pedigree with a love for StarTalk Radio, Bill Nye the Science Guy, and the Big Bang Theory. In my spare time I enjoy running (I've run 5 half marathons and had to recently stop training for a full marathon due to a stress fracture in my foot), hanging out with friends, and exploring...

...use many technological tools for educational purposes.

...During my time at Geneva I tutored fellow students in several science courses, including General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Genetics. I love tutoring General Chemistry because of the many "Aha!" moments when students suddenly make connections from chemistry to the real world. My experience with tutoring has led me to believe that discovery-based learning is the best way to solidify concepts. For this reason I focus on teaching how to use the tools available, like...

A highly motivated and hardworking individual currently achieving a doctorate in physical therapy. Seeking to obtain employment for tutoring position in order to provide quality education and mentoring in the biological sciences. Eventual career goal is to become a doctorate level faculty at a physical therapy graduate school, teaching anatomy and molecular biology.... I believe that everyone learns differently, and therefore, a key fundamental in tutoring is first discovering what kind of learner one is teaching. Once that is deciphered, the most difficult component of learning has been conquered.
