Never stop learning because life never stops teaching

...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 look forward to helping you...

...my tutee, and then to assist my tutee in breaking down 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...

...enhance their understanding of the curriculum, but also to help them 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....

Not only that, but this technique will help you truly learn the material and will hopefully be...

...Diversity, and Inclusion. I also have extensive experience as a mentor. 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...

...(too many!!) in international environments, and with a lot of professional 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...

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

...card. After transferring to Houston, becoming an American Citizen was on the horizon. American citizenship became a reality a few years later. What a life-changer journey. Learn as many things as possible, especially a foreign language. Learning a foreign language will open doors that otherwise will remain closed forever. Tutoring in foreign languages is a fun way to help those eager to learn. In past years as an English and Spanish volunteer tutor at Dorcas...

...in Fundamentals of Finance for two semesters in a class of 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...

...age 6 to college-level courses. I was a high school math teacher for three years, a high school/college tutor for four years and currently work in a school for students K1 to 7th grade.

Please let me know what your goals are during our first session and I...
