Award-Winning Microbiology Tutors serving Youngstown, OH

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.

I am a graduate of Youngstown State University with a major in Combined Sciences. I am in the BS/MD program through the Northeast Ohio Medical University and will begin medical school next fall.... My teaching philosophy is to promote independent learning, because the ultimate goal is for the student to be able to succeed on their own.

...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 classes in the future, though I am certainly happy to explain things outright when necessary. Outside of academics I have...

...they want to learn. Different students have different needs, so tutoring one-on-one can be a lot more beneficial than classroom learning simply because the teacher can personalize their lessons to fit each student. Moreover, as long as the student really does want to master the material, even lofty goals are reachable given enough time and a breakdown of the material into small pieces. When both parties are willing to put in effort, it’s hard to...

I am currently interviewing at medical schools for matriculation in Fall 2016.

The first thing I do is highlight the central theme of each chapter, then work on central idea of each paragraph and tie it together to some unique concept. This tool has helped me through...

...ways to approach complex concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. My approach with these tests emphasizes strategy over content; a particular vocabulary word may or may not appear on the...
