...the context of particular problems: we learn best by doing, and solving homework problems is no exception. Within math, I tutor nearly every subject. Particular areas of expertise include algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus (1, 2, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC). Outside of math, I tutor first-year high school chemistry (including honors chemistry), physics (honors, AP Physics B, AP Physics C, college physics), as well as SAT prep. I have a strong preference for...

...general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students...

...to conduct research in a SUNY Downstate neuropathology lab. Along with my passion in the sciences, these experiences allowed me to fortify my pursuit in becoming an MD. During the summer of 2015 I sat for my MCAT examination - an entirely new beast. This was truly a life changing experience, and would certainly recommend several tactics I personally employed in fully grasping the content and critical reasoning required for this exam. In the past...

I have been tutoring, in various forms and fashions, since 2008 with organizations like National Honor Society and Tau Beta Pi (the original Engineering Honor Society), as well as freelance personal tutoring. I have two overarching aspirations in life. I would like to understand the world, and especially the people in it. I would also like to spread that knowledge, subsequently inspiring people to seek their own truths. Tutoring...

...atmosphere because I think removing the stress from the equation when grappling with difficult problems is really important. A lot of the difficulty I've seen students have stems from frustration, and so for me focusing on taking a step back to concepts students are comfortable with, and then helping them build towards a solution to challenging problems on their own is the best way to not only help people learn, but also get them to...

...AP Scholar. I majored in Physics and Biochemistry at NYU, and published several papers as well as patents through my research. I tutor well over 135 subjects, but my favorite subject to tutor is the MCAT and Physics. I've never taken a break from tutoring, which has honed my intuition for not only acing exams but for understanding exactly how to work with students of all backgrounds and temperaments.

Thus, I would describe my tutoring philosophy as entirely facilitative - I want to be there to help my students reach their goals on their own. Personally, my interests shadow my studies, but extend beyond them as well. I am matriculating to medical school next year, and am passionate about biomedical science and helping people. I spend my free time...

Besides traveling, she loves reading, drawing, playing guitar, practicing yoga and a myriad of other things she can't think to type into a description box that is only a simulacrum of herself. Sherry has been a teaching assistant at prep centers like Kumon...

I am currently studying Economics and East Asian Studies at Columbia University. Outgoing by nature, I have a teaching method that is very interactive.

If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how...

...all makes sense. Building from a strong foundation, each of my students can then develop effective academic strategies and succeed. I am a recent Bachelor of Science from Cornell University, where my studies revolved around applying life science research to health and social studies. I have served as an undergraduate teaching assistant for several courses, and specializes in 1-on-1 tutoring for introductory biochemistry. Biochemistry is my favorite because of how many other disciplines it synthesizes....

...University education in Germany I took advantage of the opportunity to continue my education in the United States and started in the PhD program at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
