...am an incoming first year medical student at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. My undergraduate degree was in Statistics as a part of a BS/MD program. My academic interests are in Biology and Mathematics, and I particularly enjoy students who care about understanding the "Why" and "How" behind interesting phenomena. To me, learning is most fun when its both social and introspective. And in that spirit, I hope to help share the excitement...

...Although my degrees are in Chemistry, I really enjoy tutoring physics and statistics. Those two subjects are notorious for producing a fair amount of anxiety in students, so I relish in showing how manageable physics and statistics can be for anyone. I help students learn how to overcome their anxieties by guiding them to become better problem solvers. The problem solving skills they will develop under my tutelage will be useful not only in those...

Following my time at Ball State I worked at Marian HS where I served as an...

...teacher made math seem easier and more enjoyable. After that, I excelled at math through high school (algebra 1 and 2, trigonometry, analytical geometry) and college (college algebra, 4 semesters of calculus, and differential equations). I had the highest math grade point average in my community college where I took all my college math courses. I credit my junior high math teacher with me becoming an engineer. In a similar way, I would love to...

...job. I would run into many rodblocks, and there would be no clear solutions. I would be very frustrated if I didn't understand the subject, and, a lot of times, there was no one there to help me. The key is to keep trying and don't give up. Mostly, don't be afraid to ask a question. And if you don't get an answer, ask someone else. I believe patience and attentiveness will be my most...

...the most joy. As a student myself, I know how science courses are often seen as challenging, intimidating, or even weed-out courses, and I am extremely passionate about helping my students to overcome the difficulties they might have with the subjects, helping them succeed in their academic careers, and gain the confidence in their knowledge and skills. I approach each students needs individually and provide comfortable and engaging environment for learning. I encourage active participation,...

My Junior and Senior English teacher helped me go from an average writer to one who truly loves to write (which is good because my graduate program requires a lot of it). Most of all, my mother, a 30+ high school and elementary teacher has constantly kept learning and education in my life as...

Because of my major, I have learned a lot of material in certain subjects and with teaching experience, would love to share and teach some material to those who want/need it! I found my passion with medicine ever since I was little, but I recently just...

...is and apply teaching styles that will benefit that individual. Besides working as a microbiologist I also am a high school hockey coach at Notre Dame College Prep in Niles, IL. I am a huge Black Hawk fan and definitely believe Ovechkin is better than Crosby. I have flexible hours and am willing to work as much as needed to help people understand their material, especially since science does not always contain easy concepts to...

...mastered a subject area because moving on to something new can lead the student to become more frustrated because the foundation is still weak. Outside of the academics, I enjoy to play sports, such as volleyball and badminton. I used to be on the varsity badminton team in high school and it gave me a way to engage in something other than school work all the time. I also am a big fan of music;...

...I think learning should be fun! Though I keep the tone of my sessions light, I do expect my students to put in the effort necessary to achieve their goals.

I have tutored Math/ELA for elementary school students, and have tutored Introductory Chemistry (Semesters 1 + 2), Organic Chemistry (Semesters 1 + 2), Introductory Physics (Kinematics + Electromagnetism), and Biochemistry. My favorite subject to tutor is biochemistry - it is the subject I most enjoyed in school and what spurred me to pursue a career in medicine. My teaching philosophy...

...3rd grade to college. I love being part of a student's learning and gaining that satisfaction when students understand an abstract concept with my help. Being privileged and fortunate enough to have had a strong foundation in a variety of topics, I feel that tutoring, teaching, and helping others understand my favorite subjects are the perfect ways to give back and provide that which I was lucky enough to have been provided.... My teaching philosophy is...
