...team while spearheading an initiative to train fellow teaching assistants in pedagogical techniques that I learned in a course I took on the art of teaching. Lastly, in an ethics of medicine course of non-STEM majors, I prepared and facilitated discussion sections on current topics in personalized medicine. These experiences, combined with my time as a teaching assistant in correctional facilities, helped me grow as a varsity tutor now going into my 4th year on...

...from high school Biology courses to preparing for the ACT, SAT, or MCAT. This includes Biology, Psychology, Anatomy, Physiology, and more! I work with students to develop effective study methods that work best for the ways in which they learn. The key is to not only learn information, but to retain it. I also enjoy working with young students who may need help with reading, writing, science, and pre-algebra. My tutoring sessions will give students...

My goal is for my students to discover which strategies work best for their learning and success, and for them...

...school; the last 5 years at a regular high school. My greatest strengths lie in working with children who face challenges to success like learning disabilities and behavioral issues. My favorite subjects are Genetics, and Anatomy and Physiology. My philosophy on tutoring is that everyone can learn. You just have to find the right mix of interest, confidence and presentation. I am willing to work with clients both in person and on-line. In-person sessions can...

...because I think that it is one of the largest gaps in our current education system. There is so much potential to frame science in an engaging and exciting manner, but too often students are left to struggle on their own! In my personal experience, I have found that incorporating multiple external resources such as models, simulations, demonstrations or even virtual labs can fundamentally change a students achievement and investment when compared to just reading...

...minors in Criminal Justice and Honors Interdisciplinary studies. I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of Connecticut. My previous tutor experience was several 1 on 1 tutoring sessions for the 2022 - 2023 school year and I was a TA for a instrumental chemistry laboratory class for Junior and Senior chemistry majors. I mainly tutor college level general chemistry and analytical chemistry. I am also experienced with calculus.

...to help every student master their subject matter in the quickest / most efficient way possible. As educators, it doesn't make sense to give a student a fish but rather to teach them to fish for themselves. For this reason, I believe there are two types of students: those who make excuses and those who find a way. I believe in the power of determination and a hard work ethic. Failure is not permanent but...

...from the SSAT to the MCAT. I am very interested in helping students overcome test anxiety by learning strategies that can help them stay calm and be efficient. In particular, I want to help students who struggle with timed essays - I myself had to learn ways to complete them successfully, and I hope I can pass on some of these skills. Outside of school, I enjoy volunteering, making music, and reading. I have volunteered...

I think bringing the perspective of a student to tutor other students (although at a different stage) allows for more of a connection to be formed and perhaps...

...success is not enough to be a good tutor; tutoring experience is required as well. In high school, I became a TA for chemistry and spent many hours each week assisting students on an individual basis, both in school and out of school. I have also tutored independently in biology, chemistry, physics, and math with approximately 150 tutoring hours total. Since I am younger than most other tutors, I am better able to relate to...

...both structured tutoring, where I assign work in between sessions, and more free-form tutoring. I can tutor topics regarding medicine (including MCAT) or medical terminology as well topics in chemistry (high school/intro college chemistry and organic chemistry), biology (high school/college), and statistics (AP statistics specificaly). I joined Varsity Tutors to give students an easy resource to access when they are struggling. I also can help students with writing assignments for ANY class as well as...

...kind, and willing to work as hard as I can to make sure that my students not only understand the material, but develop an appreciation for the sciences; as my past teachers have done for me. I'm an adamant believer in that there's always more to learn, and I hope that I can instill the curiosity, wonder, and interest I have developed in my studies. I will do everything that I can to make sure...
