Hello, my name is Justin Quintana. I am a graduate from the University of New Mexico with a Bachelors Degree in psychology and chemistry and finished with summa cum laude honors. I am an aspiring physician and I also enjoy helping other people learn.

...was the best means of pursuing my dreams. Mentors and teachers invested in me, seeing beyond my socioeconomic barriers and fanning my potential in flame. My peers that grew up down the road became my learning community, and together we worked for a better life. Now, my Bachelor’s degree in Biology hangs on my wall, and I am pursuing a career in nursing at the University of New Mexico. I am passionate about passing down...

...to hold myself to. I am a math and science man by nature, and those are the subjects I most enjoy tutoring. For Math and Chemistry, I believe in trying as many problems as possible to learn all of the various tricks associated with them, as well as going over the different concepts to make sure that the basics are fully understood. For Biology, I use a similar style, but with more emphasis on making...

...(Biology,Chemistry,Earth Science, Physical Science) but I am comfortable and have experience tutoring and teaching all subjects at the middle levels including math. I am passionate about tutoring because it allows me to witness genuine academic and personal growth in my students. I am organized, professional and have an outstanding work ethic. In my spare time I volunteer with a local animal rescue and foster homeless animals. I also love to cook, eat and roller blade...

...students and thoroughly enjoyed it. My students loved the way I explained things to them in detail and also the fact that I pushed them to being independent but being there for them when needed. 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 knowledge to a student who needs the...

...college and grad school and while doing neuroscience research. I love tutoring one-on-one because I can get to know students and gear the lessons toward their interests, which helps them learn more quickly, retain new skills better, and enjoy the tutoring sessions more. I particularly enjoy teaching science, writing, and test prep. With test prep I've found that supplemental work on fundamental skills helps students improve their scores much more than working through a test...

...in simpler terms than you yourself learned it. Thus, as a tutor, I consider it my duty to not only pass along knowledge, but to also help the student hone the skills necessary for continued success in future endeavors. Because let's face it, learning is a life long process! In my free time I enjoy running and playing soccer as well as the study of linguistics. With regard to linguistics, my most recent exploration has...

...understand how to tackle concepts from multiple avenues (i.e. visual, kinesthetic, aural) in order to truly understand what they're learning. I like to often take a step back and focus on the big picture so that the specific topics discussed can be seen as part of a whole rather than as independent pieces of an unsolved puzzle. Outside of tutoring, I like to fill my time by playing sports, following the NBA, watching Netflix, and...

...My teaching style centers around the student mastering basic principles and then learning to combine and apply those basic principles to answer questions that, at first glance, appear far more complex than they actually are. This is particularly useful in timed testing situations such as the MCAT and ACT, when the chances of remembering a specific example of a complicated problem are slim. I know from experience the skills and concepts necessary to be successful...

...I am available for sessions in biology, chemistry, physics, as well as a range of math levels. I am also available for SAT, PSAT, and ACT prep. I have ample experience with academic writing, so I can work with students through many different types of assessments. I know that the subjects I tutor can be frustrating and difficult at time, so I believe in low pressure tutoring where we can delve into the material and...
