The foundational principle of my teaching philosophy is customization, and I work hard to tailor my sessions to the specific needs of...

...essay writing. I really enjoy tutoring biology because I am very passionate about the subject. I find it fascinating and there are many great ways to teach it. I would say I am a very adaptable tutor; I find that no one style of teaching fits every person. But in general I like to just be a knowledge repository, able to help and guide a student in coming to the correct answer or understanding a...

I recently moved to D.C. after graduating from Brown University with a B.S. in Chemical Biology. While in college, I had the opportunity to become a teaching assistant for both introductory and upper-level biochemistry courses, which I truly enjoyed. By using the insights I have gained through my experience as a teaching assistant, I would love to help students out by facilitating their learning process. I look forward to hearing from and meeting you!

...a summer course at Georgetown in the fundamentals of medical science to high school sophomores through seniors. I understand that everyone learns differently so I tailor my lessons to my students' needs and goals. Especially in subjects like organic chemistry, where students often feel overwhelmed, I am able to use molecular models to explain concepts like stereochemistry in more visual ways than are used in traditional instruction. I am passionate about my students mastering the...

...teaching from the perspective that my students should learn not just what to think, but how to think. This way, they can apply their knowledge to any problem and actually retain what they've learned. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy watching TV (who doesn't?) as well as cooking. I also enjoy swimming, hiking, and exercising in general. I'm also very involved in working for campaigns in the public's interest, such as campaigning to reduce pollution...

...Biomedical Engineering. My work in the lab required a lot of Math and Physics knowledge for processing ultrasound signals and writing software to display images, plus a little bit of Chemistry and Biology for understanding what was happening as we took images. During my time at UNC I also had the opportunity to work with Habitat for Humanity, both building homes and tutoring the children who lived in the neighborhoods we were working in. It...

...and supporting them as they worked hard toward their goals. Science can be challenging and frustrating, but together I have helped many students have a "light bulb" moment. It's satisfying for me to see, but far more satisfying for them to experience! I have enjoyed working with students from very diverse backgrounds and starting at very different levels. Some students needed intense work to get caught up with classmates, while some were just looking to...

I am a graduate of The Johns Hopkins University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in chemistry. Although I've tutored a broad range of STEM subjects and SAT preparation, I am most passionate about tutoring chemistry. I am a...

...metaphors, examples, and models in order to make chemistry less mysterious and ensure understanding of the material. My knowledge of the material allows me to explain the information simply yet adequately using basic principles. Students can then be led to build upon these basics to arrive at more complex conclusions. I genuinely enjoy teaching these subjects and enjoy seeing others learn it as well. I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve...

...grow intellectually. Being an effective questioner and an astute observer of the unknown is a life-long task, and through hard work and focus, I believe anyone can grow into a stronger thinker and a more effective student. I also think science is very fun, and the best way to improve in a subject that may be difficult is to find the parts of it which are enjoyable to you. I believe tutoring should be flexible to...

...Sciences (especially Chemistry). Working with kids and teens has taught me the importance of patience and finding ways to keep the material interesting. I have found that the best way to learn is rarely by listening to someone, but instead by doing and having a conversation throughout the learning process. In my spare time, I love to play and watch rugby, basketball, football and other sports. I also like to paint, but given the choice,...

...personal study time. Generally, when students have difficulty with problems I prefer to have them work them for themselves and talk them through any stumbles they may have. I find this aids retention better than simply having them observe me doing the problems for them. I work with students at all levels be it the A student upset with the A- from a previous exam or the student struggling to understand the basic concepts.

...undergraduate students in Science, mostly Biology and Chemistry. I love bringing a student out of their shell and having a conversation about the material. I think the best way for anyone to learn is to explain the new information in different ways that relate back to their own life and having a conversation about the material is the easiest way to do that. In my spare time, I love trying new food, cheering on the...

...math, statistics, writing and various APs. Since high school, I have tutored Spanish-speakers in English, worked extensively in diverse, low-income childcare settings with typically-developing and developmentally disabled children. I currently work teaching health and science to middle and high schoolers. I am also applying to medical school, with success in all pre-med topics (including physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, biochemistry, sociology and psychology). I also scored a 528 on the MCAT and would be happy...

...rank at the top 10% of my class. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a B.A. in Biology with a concentration in Neuroscience. JHU has a reputation as a top research institution, and therefore attracts some of the nations top researchers and professors. Consequently, science major graduates of Johns Hopkins University are excellent in science, and I am no exception as we receive training/teaching from the nation's top researchers and professors. Since my major...

...concepts and improve their grades. I tutor AP Biology, AP Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, various levels of Spanish, including AP Spanish Language, and AP Spanish Literature and Culture.
