Never stop learning because life never stops teaching

...training, scientific research felt not like a mere career choice for me; but an opportunity to fulfill my fundamentally inquisitive nature. Along this journey, I chose to focus my study on neuroscience and obtained a Ph.D. in this field. Now, I work in the biotechnology industry: writing patents for universities, emerging biotechnology companies, and inventors alike. This academic trajectory has enabled me to garner a fierce strength in writing/editing, biology, neuroscience, and critical thinking. I...

...complex logical problems into simpler, manageable parts. A teacher must first and foremost have mastery of the subject material. A tutor must both understand the subject material, and understand the manner in which students fail to comprehend that same material. I pride myself on my ability to listen and understand what aspect of a concept is difficult for a student, even when the student cannot clearly articulate her own problem. In addition to my experience...

...find the motivation, study skills, discipline and joy that are necessary to truly excel in the classroom. I would be thrilled to bring that attitude to work with your student; I believe that good teaching means "working with" rather than "talking at," and that students thrive when they get a personal touch from a devoted tutee who can bring learning to life for them. If you give me the chance to be that teacher for...

...test. I am always excited when a student finally has that "ah-ha" moment and declares that they now can see how all of these seemingly separate scientific topics are actually all related. The MCAT no longer seems scary, but turns into a means of truly learning this material and providing a strong foundation for the future. I also have extensive experience in the concepts and mathematics behind many economic topics. I have tutored in all...

...graduate of the University of Maryland where I double-majored in History and Economics and minored in Sustainability Studies. Understanding what motivates people through a combination of math, writing, reading, and critical thinking motivated my decision to study these fields.

In this role, I hosted group review sessions, one-on-one tutoring sessions, and helped students through any...

...I have advised ten first-year students each year for the past two years through Harvard's official peer advising program. I helped design, lead, and institutionalize FYRE, Harvard's first pre-orientation program for first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented students. As part of FYRE's leadership, I mentored another ten students directly and served as an advocate for all 100 students in the program. I am well-qualified to teach a wide variety of subjects due to the interdisciplinary nature of...

...and personal interactions with peers and personnel at all organizational levels, I got to the strongest belief that being capable of sharing experiences and knowledge is , possibly, the most powerful tool leaders have in their toolbox. I mentored for most of my career in several subjects - and I was also a professional teacher in technical subjects in the Italian high school system at the very early stages of my career. I always enjoyed...

Whether it be homework assistance, ESL learning, or business writing, I'm very much looking forward to meeting you...

...offices in many parts of the world, including the United States. Soon after joining that firm, an offer came to be transferred to Houston, TX, to work on a project which needed bilingual IT professionals. All team members in that project were required to speak English and Spanish very fluently, and of course, write it as well. It is not an exaggeration to say that being bilingual opened more doors than the actual Computer Science...

...100-150 students. I worked with students both in class and one-on-one. My teaching style depends on individual student needs and background. If a student is new to the topic and has little to no background in the area, my style is to break down the concepts to their most basic elements and explain how these elements interact to give the full picture. I tend to ask questions in the process to keep students engaged and...

Please let me know what your goals are during our first session and I will work with you to figure out how to achieve them!

...perpetually curious student at Harvard College studying Economics and Neurobiology. Since junior high, I have been a tutor, and I am comfortable whether the subject is English, calculus, or biology. I believe knowledge is most useful when you're able to integrate it into your everyday life. To that end, I would seek to learn from you and listen to your interests, and then find ways to show the hidden connections between the subject under study...
