...such as English and math but helping others experience this joy of learning as well. In high school, I was part of the peer tutoring program and often met with younger students to help them - whether for their upcoming chemistry exam or SAT. I took the ACT myself, and understand how important it is to master standardized testing for one's own benefit and also for college applications. I know how stressful it can be...

I love biology and really enjoy helping others understand how biology applies to them and not just in an academic setting. I understand what it can feel like to struggle to understand a topic and would love the opprotunity to help others like me to keep their passion for their studies and to increase their understanding.

...find the ways in which the student learns and adapt my approach to their needs, rather than a one-size fits all approach. English was always my easiest subject to succeed in, but for my higher education I chose to start out in an Art-Education BFA program and eventually finished with a BA in Biology from Brooklyn College after working in the direct-care and healthcare fields for a number of years. Having finished my degree studying...

...fourth-year medical student at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. My academic interests span the gambit ranging from engineering concepts to medical innovation, in particular those with an orthopedic focus.

Hello! My name is Gabriella and I recently graduated from Cornell University with a degree is Biological Sciences with a concentration in Genetics, Genomics and Development. While at Cornell I ran a chemistry study group and tutored in general and organic chemistry as well as several biology courses. I really enjoy working with students on an individual level, finding out the best ways to help them learn the material, and helping them achieve their academic goals.

...need to know the electron affinities of metals and nonmetals. Knowing how metals and nonmetals behave, will allow you to understand electron affinities. In addition, understanding the octet rule and the desired electron state of each atom is essential to answering the question. Lastly, answering the question without understanding why nonmetals radius is smaller than metals is meaningless. My goal for each tutoring session is to get my students to change the way they approach...

...of studying works for everyone and some subjects require different methods of studying. But in all cases, perseverance is necessary to succeed. I have been a teacher's assistant for general and organic chemistry. I have also tutored for molecular biology and basic statistics. Throughout my time, I have learned that students are smarter than they believe. Most of the time, students just need clarification, patience, and encouragement. A little about myself: I am a pre-med...

...just memorizing them. When students struggle in math, it is often because they are trying to learn through rote memorization rather than by gaining a deep understanding of the topic. My goal is to help students attain this understanding. Incidentally, most standardized exams also test students' problem solving skills; they often need to apply information they know in a new and creative way. My tutoring strategy therefore works well with standardized tests, such as the...

...diagrams and visual aids in my teaching. In addition, since high school, I have always been someone that friends entrust to look over and critique their papers before they submit final drafts. My teaching style features visual learning, mnemonics, and hierarchical organization of material. I find that hierarchically cataloguing information by topic and sub-topic helps students retain material, as students are not simply memorizing, but are understanding how concepts relate to one another. More personally,...

...Partners, I helped students in grades 5-8 strengthen their literacy skills. I tutored students at the Science Learning Center at Lehman College. Here I assisted students in the areas of general and organic chemistry for nursing and science majors, as well as general physics. From this experience I earned a CRLA (College Reading & Learning Association) Level II Tutor Certification. I also held biweekly Supplemental Instruction workshops for both semesters of general chemistry, organic chemistry,...

...in these areas. I also wish that I had been introduced to the STEM and economics fields at a younger age, therefore my goal with tutoring is to inspire the students that I work with. I love tutoring in economics because I believe it provides essential concepts for any field that a student is eager to pursue. For example, I have found economics to be extremely applicable to the healthcare field, which is one of...

...best through example, either working through problems students have or talking with them about the work. I also am very good at helping students brainstorm essay topics or issues, and reviews on the subject. I prefer active learning over passive learning, lecturing is boring and tends to be a waste of time unless there's some interaction. Outside Academia, I love to write and hike. I'm also an avid subpar cooker, so if you want to...

...and helping others. I am passionate about science, writing, and thinking both creatively and critically. In high school, I enjoyed tutoring in Calculus and Spanish.

I would be happy to help with any specific questions in math or science, or to simply walk through a reading assignment with you.

My name is Chynna I am a student at Hampshire College. Since my school does not give grades and it is a discussion and critical thinking based school, I believe finding out the form of student a child is, is essential for their learning. I base my sessions on their learning skills, difficulties in understanding and responses to topics.
