I am a Mechanical Engineer. At the moment though, I have decided to change directions and pursue a career in medicine. As I go to school part time and prepare for my MCAT, I am tutoring physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry, here at Varsity Tutors with my spare time.

I am a graduate of Providence College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Upon graduation, I worked in hospital administration until beginning my pursuit of a Master of Science in Medical Science through the Drexel University College of Medicine. I have been tutoring middle school, high school and college students in Chicago through Varsity Tutors since November 2014. My own passion for math and science and my academic history of them has resulted in a focus in tutoring within these su...More

I am attending graduate school at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to receive my PhD in Analytical Chemistry. Someday I want to work for a biotech or pharmaceutical company. My tutoring experience has been unique because I have tutored students ranging from second grade to senior year college students where I primarily cover STEM (Science, Math, Engineering, and Technology) concepts. Recently, I have been a TA in chemistry and biology college level courses. My hands on experience has ...More

I am comfortable tutoring a broad range of topics in the sciences and math for standardized exams. I feel most confident with organic chemistry since I have helped many struggling or confused students map out the reactions and mechanisms, develop study habits, and ace their exams. As an instructor, my aim is to focus on teaching concepts and fundamental principles since this approach builds understanding and allows students to tackle any problems they face.

I am a chemist from Germany and got married in Dallas in 2019. It was a big step and a lot of change. Sometimes the thought about it overwhelmed me but I knew: If I want to marry this woman, I have to start with small steps to be prepared for this "one big step". Similar to exams in school. You might be overwhelmed thinking about your next or final exams. But here is the deal: Just do it. Let us learn together!

I am good at explaining and breaking things down in multiple ways -- words, diagrams, analogies -- to make concepts clear. There are very few things I cannot explain or articulate.

I am doing my graduate studies in Biomedical Engineering in the USA. I am very passionate about teaching because I have ADHD and know how students with special needs struggle. I find the situation satisfying and beneficial for me and my students to help each other. Student discussions are important for me to enrich my knowledge. I am a great listener and have the ability to understand a student's needs. I love creating lesson plans. Creating a safe, friendly and productive environment for my stu...More

I am most passionate about general chemistry because it provides the foundation for thinking about chemical reactions between molecules; the knowledge of which all later chemistry subjects rely upon. In my experience teaching and tutoring, a mixture of conceptual discussions and problem solving has been most effective for helping struggling students. In addition, I have found that relating chemistry concepts and problems to topics that are familiar in our everyday lives is a great way to make se...More

I'm originally from San Diego, but I moved to Houston in 2007 to attend Rice University. I graduated from Rice in 2011 as a pre-med student with a degree in the environmental sciences and spent the last year working in Honduras at a hospital. In Honduras, I was social worker who organized activities for the children in the cancer ward. I returned to Houston at the end of June to work as a Laboratory Technician at Rice University. I recently applied to medical school for the Fall of 2013, but for...More

I am a graduate of Rutgers University, New Brunswick. I received my Bachelors degree in Biochemistry. I aspire to become a physician and am currently applying to medical schools. During my time at Rutgers I had multiple opportunities to help students academically. I have tutored college level chemistry and biology. It has been a very rewarding experience, which is why I decided to join Varsity tutors.
