I like to cater to a person's strengths in an attempt to meet them halfway in the learning experience.... Get to...

...Anatomy. I also write the clinical curriculum and teach for the Harvard Health Professions Recruitment and Enrichment Program (HMS HPREP), which teaches the science of the human body to high school children who are interested in pursuing careers in medicine. I think my greatest tutoring quality is that I always meet a student where he or she is and I do not go into a tutoring session with any preconceived notions about a current level...

...so that they can tackle and solve their problems and assignments themselves. I love when the students who come to me have their "Eureka!" moments and come to understand the concept they didn't grasp before, or solve the problem that had been giving them so much trouble. It's a really terrific feeling to know that I can make a difference in someone's life that way, however small it may be. I also understand that to...

...as a Biomedical Science Masters student at The Commonwealth Medical College and a biology major at Wake Forest University has taught me that the best way to learn is to place yourself in a fun environment.

...forms! I also used to be a Coach for Let's Get Ready, meaning that as a volunteer, I conducted an SAT and college readiness course for a class of around 10 high school students. I also helped with editing their college essays and answering all of their college questions.

...and Chemistry, as they both have discernible patterns within the material which leads to a better understanding as one builds new topics on previous ones. I have found that students have the most success in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they become second nature. Like the subjects that I teach, I believe that education is an...

...After finishing my B.S. in Biology, I pursued further graduate coursework at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. There, I studied Molecular and Human Biology. Performing research, assisting classes, and organizing seminars during graduate school inspired me to pursue a temporary job as an adjunct professor upon returning to the U.S. Teaching here in New York City has better enhanced my pedagogical skills and has taught me a great deal about the differences between group...

...as well as applications. Biology, the study of life, is all around as, as well as math. These are everyday concepts that can be applied to any career. As an experienced peer tutor, part of my tutoring philosophy is to connect with the student, and provide unique ways for the student to remember something. As both a student and a tutor, I am adamant about using contemporary examples, analogies, acronyms and mnemonics. Also, since I...

...Biomedical Engineering. During my academic career I have tutored many of my classmates, and also have taught three undergraduate level Engineering classes. Although I generally take a direct approach to tutoring utilizing real-world examples, my experiences have taught me that all students learn differently and I try to adapt my teaching style to best fit my students. My education and professional career have made me qualified to teach the subjects I have always been most...

...reviewing information with them and putting a different spin on concepts in order to make those concepts clear. I've also worked with GED prep students who are working out information anew. I have a background in psychiatry, which serves as a testament to the patient, non-judgmental approach that I bring to every interaction. I enjoy medicine and I enjoy people, and therefore also enjoy sharing information and coming up with new ways to present medical...

...it was presented and the limitations you have placed on yourself. My teaching style varies with the student. I like to use many examples, pictures, videos, and funny stories that can help the student apply the concept to in-life situations. I believe when the subject is placed in perspective, there is much more understanding. When I am not interpreting legislations and reading about breakthrough medical devices, I enjoy the outdoors. I love to spend time...

I am a graduate student studying nursing at Simmons College. I am also a certified Emergency Medical Technician!

...the most enjoyable subjects to tutor because through them we can begin to understand how and why the natural world works. The sciences are what propel our civilization forward and hold the keys to our future. It is a genuine pleasure to be able to share my enthusiasm on these subjects with new students and hopefully make the daunting world of natural sciences more approachable. Outside of work and teaching, I enjoy building computers, SCUBA...

I've been the student who has been frustrated with difficult assignments and seemingly useless subjects. However, through my partnership with tutors and a passion for knowledge I have acquired a broader context of the sciences and the study skills that have turned learning into an evolving process rather than a memorization task. I would like to...

I really enjoy tutoring these subjects because my students and I work together to understand the principles underlying the problems, which helps us remember everything better and makes studying more enjoyable. My tutoring theory is that students either know the answer or know how to find it, and together we can make that happen. My wife and I spend...

...also provided advice on application essays, resumes, and interview strategies for Harvard College students applying to highly competitive scholarships. Each of these experiences has taught me how to communicate concepts in clear and engaging ways. For instance, while tutoring adolescents enrolled in the Boston-based Artists for Humanity program, I would often teach students whom I had never worked with before, and thus became adept at quickly discovering and implementing the strategies that worked best for...

...foundation in multiple choice exams and test-taking strategies. I really like to stress a knowledge of material, but I also am very big on studying smarter, not harder. Additionally, graduate school has prepared me very well for subjects such as anatomy and physiology. I would venture to say that I am proficient in these subjects, and I am more than capable of helping you learn these subjects for life. Please let me know if my...
