...enjoyed working with students and seeing their progress and success. My method in tutoring is to emphasize on the concepts and make sure the students understand them. This helps them build their critical thinking and predict the solution for similar problems. I always prefer to lead the student to the answer rather giving it away. In this way, I can spot the field where improvement needs to be made. I am looking forward to working...

...what you have learned and the attitude associated with your application. Everything has to come in a package. I enjoy tutoring, particularly tutoring teenagers. When I was 12 or so, I had a tutor, or exactly, a mentor. She not only tutored me but also inspired me to grow to be a useful person in life. I am thankful to have had my tutor-mentor-best friend with me through my rebellious years. Therefore, now, I would...

Hi! I'm Alina, your friendly neighborhood tutor from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I know school is hard, and I'm in school too. I attended undergrad majoring in Biology. I'm studying to become an optometrist (eye doctor)! I am flexible to answer biology, chemistry, physics, etc. questions. I was also in Honors Art in high school and in college. So, when I want to decompress from STEM subjects, I'll be drawing/painting. #STEMmajorsunite!

...of college. I thoroughly enjoyed learning and sharing my knowledge with other students to help them excel in their classes. Soon after I graduated from undergraduate, I continued my passion to teach with Varsity Tutoring back in 2014 where I tutored middle school children with Math and Science. In medical school, I worked as a tutor to incoming students in Anatomy and Physiology. I also received the opportunity to teach and share my knowledge during...

...others relate the material to their own interests in order to help bridge the gap between one's own knowledge and a seemingly confusing realm of material. Together, we can work towards fostering an interest in lifelong learning, while keeping the material fun and engaging along the way. Apart from my studies, I'm passionate about dance, having dabbled in various forms of South Asian dance including Bollywood, garba/raas, bhangra, and classical, and I also like to...

In Connecticut, I worked as a chaplain in a community hospital. Upon moving to Philadelphia, I found a position at CHOP as a research assistant and then transitioned...

...native and personally enjoy discussing my subjects. I have been teaching or tutoring in one form or another since my senior year of high school, and I plan to one day get a Master's degree in teaching science. My strongest subject is Chemistry, and I pride myself in knowing and sharing why things work the way they do. I consider Bill Nye one of my idols and wish to spark the same kind of passion...

...natural product synthesis. My professional career has been as a Medicinal Chemist in the pharmaceutical industry, where I have supervised many graduate chemists, whom I have encouraged and mentored. I love the subtle nuances of Organic Chemistry, and the beauty of chemical reactions, where small changes in solvents, or catalysts can lead to dramatic improvements in yields, and sometimes to completely different reaction pathways. You are always learning new things, and with practical work always...

...gratified by the teachers who inspired my interest in science and had the faith to invest in my talents. While teaching my own students, I have enjoyed instilling the same love of learning as well as an attitude to persevere through their own challenges.

...badges and as a lifeguard at a special needs camp where I helped others learn to swim. Beyond my academic work, I volunteered as an EMT, worked in a laboratory, volunteered in a hospital collecting data for research and also conducted my own research on the effects of mouthwash on the microbial ecology of the mouth. These experiences provided me with a greater appreciation and understanding to the importance of the sciences.

Being able to tutor a subject has been rewarding; I spent a lot of time as a student and know that sometimes courses can be tough or the instructor may not teach in a conducive style for all their students. Tutoring offers me an opportunity to help students understand topics on their own terms.

...undergraduate and graduate level of biology, focused on general biology and microbiology. I have also furthered my knowledge in pedagogy by taking courses in teaching the natural sciences through case-study based learning, as well as on the challenges of teaching the natural sciences in general. In the future, I hope to become a principal investigator at a research institution to continue to do excellent science involving bacterial metabolic evolution and mentor students.
