I understand their goals and what they aim to get out of the tutoring sessions.... Engage in more active learning. Go through problems and focus on the process of coming to a correct...

...the honor of molding the minds of medical students. I not only helped them learn but I made them feel excited about medicine. I am very knowledgeable in subjects oriented around the medical field namely anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, endocrinology among others. Teaching is a skill that must be adapted to the individual student. I also believe syllabus oriented teaching is key to covering adequate material to allow a student to test well. I have solid...

In my experience, each student has a slightly different learning style, so I always try to patiently employ any number of different tutoring strategies to create a personalized learning experience. Outside of the tutoring world, I am an avid runner currently in training preparation for...

...values organization and detail. I received an IB diploma upon high school completion and BS in Biology from Colorado State University in 2011. I am currently enrolled in a paramedic certification program in the DC area. I volunteered as a tutor in college working with students from kindergarten to high school seniors.

...internship ended, I began attending the University of Maryland, College Park as a post-baccalaureate student seeking a second degree in General Biology (B.S.), which I obtained in August 2016. My extensive educational background and previous research experiences at WRAIR and Johns Hopkins gave me the opportunity to learn how to communicate complex scientific ideas through discussions, presentations, and writing. I would like to apply the knowledge I have obtained about the molecular, biomolecular, and cellular...

...in all maths up to pre-calculus. After a couple years of tutoring and 3 years teaching Math in public schools, I found my favorite subject to teach is Algebra. I've helped students make progress in their grades and have worked to identify and evaluate targeted skills. I fully understand the subject and always show a variety of ways to reach a solution. I identify weaknesses and help build on them. I enjoy tutoring and using...

...well as Biology has been a blessing to have an impact on students to pursue their educational and career goals. I also have experience working with students with ADHD and Asperger's. Varsity Tutors is THE best at providing professional tutoring for reaching student goals and dreams. 2020 has obviously changed the dynamics of students to prepare, assimilate, and retain information. Not only to meet weekly online assignments but also to prepare for upcoming exams and...

...courses for their respective school. I have found that the best way to tutor a student is to address each students needs and gain an understanding of their unique thought process; nobody solves a problem the exact same way. With many educational institutions adapting a philosophy of "teaching to the test" rather than an understanding, I feel an individualistic approach is the best way to complement this paradigm. When I am not working, I enjoy...

...nurse-midwife, and women's health nurse practitioner. I am passionate about teaching and education, and while I am no longer in the classroom full time, I find that the education and counseling I provide to my patients is still the most fulfilling part of my work.

...have two years of experience tutoring undergraduate students in Science, mostly Biology and Chemistry. I love bringing a student out of their shell and having a conversation about the material. I think the best way for anyone to learn is to explain the new information in different ways that relate back to their own life and having a conversation about the material is the easiest way to do that. In my spare time, I love...

...really enjoyed, especially when it dealth with health science courses such as biology or physiology. I found that often times the best way to learn a particular subject is to know how to approach the material properly to make the most of the time you have. This is reflective of my teaching philosophy which relies not only on strong understanding of course material, but also implementing a pragmatic approach in learning as well. Currently I...

...and learned a fair amount about how students learn and some of the common roadblocks faced when confronting challenging topics. One of my favored methods in how to get past those barriers is to unpack an abstract concept (such as mRNA translation, for example) into both cartoon and word pictures so that we all "see" the big picture, then add the vocabulary to the concept once all are ready to move on. Not surprisingly, I...

...biomedical science and it's derivatives. I am dynamic, interactive and approachable when I teach. I can switch gears or adjust my style to fit my student and what they need. I do believe everyone can improve their verbal skills and the life sciences are not pure memorization, so there is a chance for anyone to succeed given the right guidance. In my free time, I love pursuing outdoor sports such as rock climbing and snowboarding....

...and the student. If one side is lacking in their responsibilities then the other side won't be able to succeed in knowing the information. Testing and course surveys are an excellent way to measure how each side is doing with learning and teaching the necessary material. To ensure that I, as a tutor, am teaching the material to the best of my abilities, will require me to teach in many different methods. Utilizing group work,...
