...teach "tricks" for getting the right answer. Rather, I aim to wholly ingrain the skills, strategies, and overall thinking needed to fully understand how and why we can come to certain answers.

...a Mohs surgery and dermatology practice has been the greatest confirmation that I want to train to become a practicing physician. I enjoy aspects of every activity that I am allowed to do as a Nursing Assistant, and this makes me excited to learn more ways to help people. Observing surgeries has taught me what...

I currently attend the University of Chicago, where I major in Political Science and Biology. When I'm not spending hours reading Nietzsche, I'm doing improv comedy and graphic design. I'm currently pursuing a career in advertising/consulting, and in my spare time I eat mini tacos and watch Louis CK stand-up comedy. ... Teaching is about taking something complex and making it easy to understand. I like to focus a lot on students' questions, as they give...

...am available to tutor biology, chemistry, microbiology, pharmacology, and anatomy and physiology. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and microbiology because of the understanding required at a cellular level. I believe all students have the ability to excel and reach their individual goals in any subject and my philosophy lies in creating a context...

...that makes sense to them. My tutoring philosophy revolves around the Socratic method: namely, I try to help the student discover the subject for themselves versus me simply giving them the answers. I believe that (guided) personal discovery leads not only to greater understanding, but greater knowledge retention as well. Additionally, as someone who played...

...of the material was consistently the highlight of my day. I've always had an aptitude for math and science and have been unofficially tutoring my peers since middle school.

...in the material that extends beyond textbooks or assessments. I hope I can be the bridge between the objective content presented and subjective awe experienced by a student.

...and approach their next step. In my free time, I love to play musical instruments; actually, one of my hobbies is collecting musical instruments like guitar, violin, and piano; because music brings joy. I also like to play basketball, table tennis, video games (especially soccer), and spend time with my friends and family.... If you want to remember something forever, teach it! By teaching, I'm also learning!

...at the tutoring center at Loyola University Chicago. I enjoy tutoring one-on-one much more than group instructing. I find that my teaching style varies from student to student, however, I often employ the Socratic method, and I am still a believer in old school liberal arts methodologies, namely using your reasoning and wit to derive...

...my math and science background. I am eager to spread my knowledge and get challenged by students to stay up to date with current curriculum. My teaching style is individualized per student, depending on what works with them. I constantly refer to books myself, or to internet for up to date information, so that the...

...the excitement of science to any student I work with. The subject is conceptual and the conclusions often are not obvious and require focus and attention to reveal themselves. When a student is learning and making connections, I have the utmost patience and demonstrate multiple ways to arrive at the same conclusion. I have done...

...even when the job is tutoring. One Saturday I was stuck in the library for 8 hours with a tutee going over concepts in physics. Of course after our long session we both swore never to look at physics again, but the following Monday there I was at the Center for Academic Success with another...

...the classroom. One-on-one tutoring has even greater rewards for the student, and is essential to maintaining their educational momentum. I believe that helping a student overcome a roadblock (academic or personal) requires a working relationship and rapport that only comes through a mutual goal of success, and lots of practice. Let's get started!

...interactive and ask questions. I went into teaching instead of research because social interaction with others is important to me. I often see my former students in professional positions and it gives me great satisfaction to see how they have matured, and some have told me that they wouldn’t be where they are today without...

...at Midwestern University. Currently I am awaiting word from various medical schools to hopefully begin pursuing a professional degree in Osteopathic Medicine.

...goal as a tutor is to improve the academic achievement of students through encouraging scholarly and personal progress. I maintain that listening to the student in order to asses problem areas within a subject is the best way to establish a working partnership in the effort to support scholarly achievement. I strongly encourage my students...

...allow them to see their errors and essentially learn without the standard lecturing format one is used to at school. Previously, it seemed the best way to learn is to memorize a whole bunch of facts and regurgitate them on paper. However, my goal isn't to memorize, but rather learn and retain details, to overlap...

...oysters, the focus of my thesis research, I was also teaching hands-on Marine Science in a local elementary school.
