...I recently spent four months as a maternity leave interim chemistry teacher (high school). I've also spent approximately three years informally assisting college students in various mathematics courses, from statistics and precalculus to higher-order algebra and analysis. While developing my own study skills, I've taken the time to research study strategies, work with others to learn material and adapt to different learning styles, and edit and review English and liberal arts assignments. Generally speaking, these...

...or helping to solve a problem, I love the feeling when someone that I help reaches a moment of realization. In my past, I have tutored students for the SAT and the MCAT.

Also, I have been recently accepted into medical school (so I've learned quite a lot...

...my students and I to work together to achieve their learning goals. I started tutoring in undergrad at Wheaton College in Massachusetts, where I graduated with a B.A. in Biochemistry. At Wheaton, I developed the philosophy that learning should be fun. In my tutoring sessions I like to take time to get to know the student before we jump into the material. Even as we work through the session, it is not uncommon to joke...

...appears to be. There are a few key concepts that I like to pass along that can clarify and simplify the problem sets that students face. In some cases, it is a matter of being able to express a problem in mathematical terms. In others it is being able to visualize exactly what happens in a reaction. After being pointed in the right direction, and with a little practice, most any student can excel in...

...particular, I have become especially passionate about math and chemistry. At MIT, I plan to major in applied mathematics, physics, or chemical engineering to pursue these interests. In high school, I was also involved in the Math Study Center as a volunteer tutor where I would meet with students from all courses to provide assistance with homework or classwork. During my three years as a study center tutor, I met with students in algebra 1...

...my entire nursing career and am taking a much needed break to help other nurses obtain their licenses through tutoring as well as working as an endoscopy nurse per diem.

However, my passion for education led me to leave the pharmaceutical industry and pursue teaching. I am a certified Chemistry teacher in...

...premedical classes and have taken and tutored the MCAT exam. I placed in the 97th percentile of the MCAT exam and I understand what the test takers want students to know and how to bridge the gap between knowing the material and doing well on the 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...

...an Organic Chemistry study group leader. I joined Varsity Tutors after graduating, and have since been working one-on-one with undergraduate and graduate students in the Boston area. During these experiences, I have learned how to be both an effective tutor and an encouraging mentor. I guide my students through challenging questions; helping them understand the process as much as the answer and gain confidence along the way. Fun Facts: * I worked for a non-profit...

...have tutored graduate and medical students at Boston University for two years in both Biochemistry and Physiology. As apart of my personal studies I have had to have extensive knowledge of subjects within the sciences such as Anatomy, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. As apart of my training I also was required to take standardized exams such as the MCAT and the medical board certifying STEP exams. I find teaching incredibly rewarding and enjoy getting to...

...at the University of Maryland and am studying biology. I have spent time tutoring second graders in English and math and have also worked with children as a camp counselor for the past 5 summers. I am able to tutor for many subjects but I am strongest in math for elementary and middle school and biology. I really enjoy working with children and hope to work with them in my future career.

...various places in the United States. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring science courses. In my experience during my time at Regis College, I tutored students in various science courses such as Anatomy and Physiology, Biology, Cell Biology, Chemistry, Pathophysiology and Neuroscience courses. I helped students in preparation for quizzes, exams, writing assignments and concept understanding as well. I believe that education is an important part to...

...I enjoy running, playing guitar and watching movies. Previously, I have tutored students of all ages in various subjects, with an emphasis in math and SAT. As a tutor, I believe that students learn best through solving problems. By guiding students through various problems, I will help them learn how to apply their knowledge to solve complex questions and gain confidence and competencies in difficult subjects. I look forward to meeting you!

...to discover and there is no limit to what you can learn. I can say that some great teachers and professors have shaped my interest in science and would love to help other students see this joy in learning.
