Hi! My name is Claire and I'm excited about the opportunity to work with you! I graduated from Amherst College in 2015 with a degree chemistry and plan to matriculate to medical school this August. I'm comfortable tutoring elementary- through college-level science, math, English and Spanish and have significant test-prep experience, including SAT, AP and MCAT exams.

I fully believe that my interest in the field of academic tutoring is born out of my endless pursuit of knowledge, as well as my strong interpersonal communication skills. With proper guidance, every student possesses the ability to grasp even the most complex of topics, and I have built my tutoring career on this premise. As an experienced tutor, I have continually enjoyed seeing my students achieve lofty goals under my instruction.I specialize in tutoring biology, chemistry, physics, and economics for high school students. In addition to this, I also tutor students in college level general chemistry, general biology, organic chemistry, introductory physics, economics and for the MCAT exam. I excelled in undergraduate coursework pertaining to these subjects and have prior experience in assisting pre-professional (pre-medical and pre-nursing) students looking to succeed in their required general science classes. My tutoring methodology is dependent on the establishment of a strong conceptual framework, and subsequent application of theory through practice problems (the best way to master any pure science). I frequently employ the use of problem sets and practice tests to monitor my students' progress.

My approach to teaching and tutoring centers around my background as a liberal arts student turned pre-med. I attended Wesleyan University and then decided after college to pursue medicine, completing a one year post-baccalaureate premedical program at Bryn Mawr College. Having personally undergone the transition from a humanities to a science student, I feel passionately that the sciences can be learned by any student, even those for whom it might feel a little more challenging. Working as a tutor for biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and neuroscience, I actively implemented this philosophy, finding creative ways to approach complex concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem.In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. My approach with these tests emphasizes strategy over content; a particular vocabulary word may or may not appear on the actual test, but knowledge of how to approach a passage and its correlated questions will help regardless of content.

Hello! I'm Kade and I'm currently a second-year at Northwestern University studying biology and chemistry on the pre-medical track. Outside of school/tutoring, I spend time volunteering for my university's annual Dance Marathon fundraiser, a member of Camp Kesem, working as a study group mentor, and I'm also into running and hiking. I look forward to tutoring y'all!

My dad studied in Lima, Peru and came to the United States of America to practice medicine; my mother served as a registered nurse in the U.S. Army Reserve. Both have taught me the lesson of working hard and making a positive difference in my community. I have had an interest in the health field growing up, being born and raised in the state of West Virginia known for their poor health care. My small, rural town called Bluefield, the town that I call home, is part of a healthcare system in Southwest Virginia. My goal growing up was to make a difference in my community and give back to the people in need.

I received my PhD degree in Organic/Material Chemistry from Johns Hopkins University. While in my graduate study in Johns Hopkins, I taught both organic chemistry and college chemistry (for both lecture and laboratory parts) as a teaching assistant to the corresponding professors in the Chemistry Department. In addition to the teaching experience for more advanced chemistry subjects, I also ever tutored junior high's on Math and Sciences, and high school students on Chemistry, Algebra, and Geometry, etc.In my teaching & tutoring, I'd like to first find out the strength and weakness of the student on the corresponding subject, and then design a protocol to induce the student fully exerting his or her strength while improving the weakness counter part. The practical way of implementing this strategy is by doing exampling problems, Q&A discussions, and practicing problem sets, with which a cycle shall be repeated.In my leisure time, I'd like to listen music, sing songs, and I plan to pick up my old interest on oil painting that I haven't touched for a long while.

I love to teach, especially science subjects and mathematics! With three years of formal teaching experience, I enjoy and have experience teaching the following subjects: human anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, physics, pre-algebra, and algebra. I realize that these types of subjects can seem scary because they are presented as "hard," setting students up to expect challenges and failure; in contrast, I am a laid back, easy-going, but very persistent and positive teacher who can break down subjects into understandable principles and procedures, and encourage consistent effort and performance from my students.I graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and Phi Kappa Phi honors from Brigham Young University in April, 2012. While pursuing my education, I worked as a human anatomy teaching assistant for 2.5 years, in which I taught 80 students per week about the human body using cadavers, prosections, and reference materials; as a result of my performance, I was also appointed to be a "Group Leader," in which I instructed other teaching assistants in the material they would be teaching. I helped prepare exams for over 900 students each semester, and helped to rewrite the teaching manual. In addition, I have experience as a medical college aptitude test (MCAT) instructor, in which I have taught more than 220 lessons in one-on-one individual tutoring sessions as well as small group sessions, extensively covering all major science and basic mathematics subjects as well as general test preparation strategies.Given this experience, I have learned that every person learns differently and have become adept in working with each of my students to identify and utilize the methods through which they individually learn the best. I am happy to take a traditional, academic approach to instruction, using theory and principles when a student feels most comfortable with these methods, or to translate theoretical principles into real-life examples to make problem-solving more realistic and applicable for "hands-on" learners. I can help students learn not only the physical material they need to know, but also equally important skills, including personal confidence, time management, personal goal setting and accountability, and stress management. My goal is to make learning science and mathematics subjects accessible and enjoyable, so that my students are able to grow and progress academically, personally, and professionally.

My name is Julie and I am a PhD Student at Tufts University studying Nutritional Biochemisty and Biostatistics. I first discovered my passion for tutoring as an undergraduate at the University of Michigan, where I worked as 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 for 2 years, developing and writing nutritional articles for a monthly newsletter* I love to juggle and I started the first student run juggling club at the University of Michigan* I was born and raised in Newton, MA

Hey! I am extremely easy-going, yet I make sure all your questions are solved and concerns are addressed. I want to make the most out of your time with me, and I will make sure you either complete your assignment or understand specific concepts that are difficult to comprehend. Oftentimes, students come to me for scoring a B+ or A-, not an A, on their EXAM. Here, I will teach you specific formulas or key points to maximize your score and reach that A. I will teach you how to USE the exam questions to help obtain clues to solving problems. For multiple choice problems, I will teach you 3 key principles to follow to eliminate your options to the LAST 2 choices, and make HIGH CHANCE guesses when need be. I am willing to work long-term for personally revised lessons. Personally, I have 3+ years of tutoring experience at the high school and college level, notably with Questbridge Scholars Network. Currently, I am an MD/DPM candidate at Temple School of Medicine.

Never stop seeking knowledge. I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico eating green chile, speaking Spanish, and exploring nature. I was lucky enough to witness the impact innovative teachers and mentors can have from a young age. Since undergrad I have tutored in many subjects: math, SAT prep, Spanish, and biology. Spanish is my love; I studied it as an undergraduate and believe that the key to learning anything is understanding how the subject matter fits into the larger picture of your life. If you understand WHY you need to learn something, you have an incentive to learn it. I've tutored middle school, high school, and college freshmen and sophomores and occasionally get a phone call from one of my younger sisters asking for help editing an essay or solving a math problem. In my spare time I am outside: running, hiking, camping, exploring...
