During my degrees I acquired over four years of organic synthetic research. While pursuing my M.S. I was awarded a Teaching Assistantship. This involved instructing two laboratory classes each semester as well as providing tutoring services for students. The first year I was an instructor and tutor...

I have been a lifelong student and am interested in helping others in their learning ventures. The best things my high school teachers and parents taught me were the love of learning and how to learn, not any particular piece of information. It took some trial and error for me to figure out how to study, how to learn, how to push myself in subjects which are fascinating but truly challenging (like...

My work experience is in tutoring, teaching, and public health doing HIV counseling. In the next two years I hope to reapply to residency and be offered a spot as a resident in the field of...

...through interaction. The delegating style promotes learning through empowerment. I typically structure each of my sessions to include some amount of each teaching style. Using an appropriate mix of teaching styles helps students learn, grow, and become more independent. "A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary." ~ Thomas N. Carruthers Outside of Academia I enjoy reading, writing and crafts. I am currently reading the Beautiful Creatures series by Kami Garcia. Every year I...

I love out of the box thinking and devising new ways to explain difficult to grasp concepts. In my spare time I like to snowboard,...

...student at SUNY Oswego pursuing a graduate degree in chemistry, with hopes of getting into med school. I believe chemistry is a severely misunderstood subject. I've found that, in my experience, most students just aren't taught in the way they personally learn. My goal is to help as many students with the subject that I love. I want to help them understand that it isn't just something they HAVE to take, but something they can...

...College in 2009 and have worked at the neuroscience and psychiatry labs at Yale and Cornell. I enjoy working with people and wish to one day specialize in geriatrics.

But being laid back, I am also good at relaxing a student and helping point out what is important and what is not. In my free time, I enjoy writing music. I am also a die...

...my PhD at the University of Colorado Boulder. My research involvement has given me direct experience with many chemical concepts taught in class settings and has given me a deep appreciation of and excitement for the sciences. Through tutoring, I hope to share these insights and excitement for the subject while deepening conceptual understandings. The greatest metric of success in a tutoring session is being told that I was able to break down explanations from...

...an engineer and graduated with a bachelor's and master's of biomedical engineering from Arizona State University. I recently completed three years of my MD curriculum and am now returning to tutoring during my MBA studies. I struggled throughout high school until finally preparing for the SAT and ACT, so I'm adept with picking up just what you're struggling with - I was there once, too. Now having performed in the upper 10% of all standardized...

...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,...

...am approved to tutor in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about the sciences: Biology and Organic Chemistry especially.
