I am currently a graduate student at Tufts University School of Medicine. As a former biology major at Boston College, I have extensive experience in Biology as well as other science courses. Outside of tutoring I enjoy exercising and skiing. I also enjoy exploring new restaurants with friends. ... My philosophy is to teach in a way that challenges but does not overwhelm my students. I find that being patient and making sure students understand concepts fundamentally is crucial to success.

...I work hard to make Biology come alive. Through online videos with commentary, interesting reading, and interactive application of information, my students see mechanisms, listen to explanations, and use the information to solve forensic and medical cases that I've created. For those who don't love Biology as much as I do, studying processes such as mitosis may seem tedious, but it doesn't have to be. I make sure to relate microscopic phenomena, such as mitosis,...

...solid foundation in the subject being studied and work with them on areas of trouble. I simplify ideas as much as possible and correlate them to real life scenarios whenever possible to help students remember them. I also help students develop mnemonic techniques to help them remember particularly difficult concepts.
