I apparently aspire to have a resume similar to The-Most-Interesting-Man-In-The-World's. As a teacher, I try to "guide learning"...

...online tutoring hours. With each of those hours, my students have been utterly satisfied and some of them keep writing me while they pursue their education in graduate programs. I am most satisfied when I help my tutees understand the material by relating it to something that they already know. I am very enthusiastic about the variety of students Varsity Tutors offers and eager to share my knowledge with my future students.... I believe that interactive...

...the NIH. I have experience tutoring college, high school, and middle school students. During tutoring sessions I like to pinpoint where the problem areas are and begin by working with students on the fundamentals. Once the basics are covered I like to work through problems together as a way to learn material, but ask that students spend some time studying topics at home/doing practice problems that we can go over during the tutoring sessions.

With an array of experiences within the biomedical and healthcare industry, I desire to assist students in strengthening their foundation in the basic sciences that will assure them success in a science related career.

...In the STEM courses, the concepts can be very challenging and complex. My teaching philosophy is to simplify these concepts by relating them to every-day experiences. I've found that when students can understand these concepts through real life examples and applications, they become much easier to understand. Science can be hard, there are a lot of details that can make students (and myself!) feel overwhelmed. However, there are fundamental principles that are at the core...

...I emphasize teaching chemistry concepts and how to apply them when approaching a question, a method I wish I had used more when I was an undergraduate in chemistry! I have tutored both high school and collegiate chemistry for five years and I greatly enjoy getting to know a student and seeing them evolve. Additionally, I was an adjunct chemistry laboratory professor for Trinity Washington University in D.C My teaching philosophy is to be positive,...

I believe a commitment to education and to life-long learning is essential for a successful and meaningful existence. During my journey as a student I have come to love the process of scientific inquiry and how it allows us to understand, predict and shape reality. Tutoring students contributes greatly to my sense of self-fulfillment, as...

I...
