I look forward to hearing from and meeting you!

...at 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.

...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 concepts and falling in love with science. I bring a lot of fun and perspective on study habits and skills that foster success in the classroom and in life! I am also active in community service throughout Washington, DC...

In the position, I also train and mentor numerous undergraduate students in Microbiology, lab protocol and food safety. I will tutor in Biology, Life Science and Science, however I am very passionate about Microbiology. In my experience, each student is unique and no...

...and am an avid learner myself. My tutoring style derives primarily from helping friends throughout the years. In my experience, there is almost no subject out of reach of a passionate and curious mind. I therefore strive not just to communicate content, but to instill a passion that will drive self motivated learning. Whether discussing The Great Gatsby or reviewing the Navier Stokes Equations for fluid dynamics, I am excited to share my enthusiasm for...

...needed intense work to get caught up with classmates, while some were just looking to brush up their level of mastery before a big test. With work and focus, we can set goals and achieve them regardless of where we are starting. Because of how different each student is, it's important to really consider what works best for you as a learner. For this, being simple and upfront is probably best. Are you a visual...

...friends. I have previous short-term teaching experience in Peru and Spain, and am near-fluent in Spanish. I believe in the power of positive thinking, hard work, and self-confidence. I also believe that practice makes perfect: putting theory into practice is the best way to become comfortable with new material, so when tutoring I try to incorporate practice problems as much as possible. If you're looking for help with Spanish, English, social sciences, or SAT prep,...

I obviously do not have a strong tutoring experience, but I know I have a penchant for the biological sciences and skills in reading and writing, which would allow me to impart this...

...learning methods should be individualized depending on each and every student. I try to build on what already exist. I try to assess what my students already understand about the subject matter and try to relate the new and difficult concepts based on that. I also use different examples, diagrams and role plays to make things easier. I encourage interactive learning styles. I enjoy tutoring and love to see my student make it through their...

...science courses in high school and college, I have become skilled at breaking down and organizing complex science concepts into much simpler and manageable concepts to understand.
