...in the course and often employ the use of metaphors, examples, and models in order to make chemistry less mysterious and ensure understanding of the material. My knowledge of the material allows me to explain the information simply yet adequately using basic principles. Students can then be led to build upon these basics to arrive at more complex conclusions. I genuinely enjoy teaching these subjects and enjoy seeing others learn it as well. I look...

...Georgetown in the fundamentals of medical science to high school sophomores through seniors. I understand that everyone learns differently so I tailor my lessons to my students' needs and goals. Especially in subjects like organic chemistry, where students often feel overwhelmed, I am able to use molecular models to explain concepts like stereochemistry in more visual ways than are used in traditional instruction. I am passionate about my students mastering the concepts and falling in...

...best way to represent yourself. As a medical student myself, I feel comfortable talking about what an admissions committee is looking for and the best strategies for success.

In my free time I play violin in the D.C. area and teach private lessons. I also love reading and playing with my dog, Lily.

...The selection process for teaching assistants included mastery of chemistry concepts, ability to demonstrate teaching, clarity in communication and listening skills, and high level of responsibility. I supervised one group of 20-24 Johns Hopkins freshman students per semester. I answered questions and guided students to a greater understanding of chemical principles. Teaching assistants also staffed help sessions for students who need additional help in understanding chemistry concepts. I have great evaluations from my students to...

This upcoming year, I will be serving through AmeriCorps as helping immigrant youth succeed in their academics as well as their individual wellness. Because I would like to keep tutoring and teaching, I decided to sign up to...

...to local junior high and high schools where I focused on tutoring Math. While I always enjoyed tutoring undergraduate students, I found great satisfaction in teaching Math to struggling teenagers. From my experiences, I learned that anyone can tackle basic mathematical ideas if they are given proper patience and instruction. Furthermore, I have learned that every student has a unique style of learning. My tutoring philosophy embodies this notion and I strive to tailor my...

...in the lab required a lot of Math and Physics knowledge for processing ultrasound signals and writing software to display images, plus a little bit of Chemistry and Biology for understanding what was happening as we took images. During my time at UNC I also had the opportunity to work with Habitat for Humanity, both building homes and tutoring the children who lived in the neighborhoods we were working in. It was incredibly rewarding to...

I've tutored in London for over seven years, and I love the process of helping a student progress and gradually get better at a subject. It's what motivates me to keep teaching.

...undergraduate students in Science, mostly Biology and Chemistry. I love bringing a student out of their shell and having a conversation about the material. I think the best way for anyone to learn is to explain the new information in different ways that relate back to their own life and having a conversation about the material is the easiest way to do that. In my spare time, I love trying new food, cheering on the...
