...parts of my application. It was great to see how my students could eventually come around to seeing standardized tests as a puzzle, rather than a chore. I've since spent several semesters as an Introductory Chemistry TA during my undergrad at Amherst College, where I majored in Biochemistry and Biophysics, magna cum laude. I'm also pre-med; I'm applying to medical schools now, for matriculation in the fall of 2014. I'm very passionate about science, particularly...

...15 years. I have helped students of all ages (from elementary school to adult) in a wide variety of subjects, including Math (Elementary Math to Calculus), Science (including Physics and Chemistry), test prep (ACT, SAT, GMAT, GRE), and English.

During the summer I taught Biology and Physical Science at St. John DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, MD. My...

...students both online and offline ever since I got my Bachelor's Degree, including during my time at JHU, in subjects ranging from basic arithmetic to differential equations. My teaching philosophy is "math is easy"; my goal is to make sure you understand why math is intuitive and natural, so that it's easy for you, too. In my spare time, I like to to solve math puzzles (yeah, I know I'm a nerd), play video games...

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.

I'm a research fellow at the National Institutes of Health. I work on vaccines for parasitic diseases. My main interests are in global health and biodefense. I went to Johns Hopkins undergrad and for a masters in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology. My tutoring hallmark is teaching effective study habits. In addition to working on material, we can establish a schedule for your upcoming work.

...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,...

...several internships working on wind and steam turbines, I spent nearly two years as a researcher working to eliminate idling on public school buses. In high school, I converted my 1984 diesel to run on waste vegetable oil. I try to bring a level of enthusiasm towards tutoring math that is normally reserved for every other subject besides math. I do not believe that anyone is naturally good or bad at math, but some people...

...campus were I instructed hundreds of students on the basics of fabricating composite parts for a variety of applications including vehicle wing elements, rocket casings, and sporting goods.

I volunteer as much time as possible with the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. and have been...

...the content and the format of the tests. I believe that it is important to impart important concepts and problem solving mechanisms to people because it allows them to learn a process that can be applied to different problems in life outside the exam setting. I definitely try to impart my passion for problem solving onto people I tutor. In my spare time, I enjoy playing and watching most sports but especially basketball, tennis, football,...
