...and student development skills that would benefit a diverse student body. For Varsity students this might mean that I provide pre-prepared visual aids or refer to online resources like Zygote Body (an online, 3D anatomical atlas) for an engaging and effective lesson. For other sessions, my approach might be to employ a color code system or mnemonics that support a specific learner in making mental connections between concepts. I will assess what works best for...

...recently went to Washington, DC, where I got a Master's in Physiology and Biophysics, and am planning to enter the medical field.

...50 years ahead of him or her. Think of how the world has changed technologically over the past 50 years. Watch an episode of "Mad Men" if you need a frame of reference. Now imagine how much more things will change over the next 50 years. High school and college students need to be firmly grounded in science and math to meet the challenges that change will bring. I enjoy preparing students for that!

I’ve been tutoring since high school, and thoroughly enjoy helping students understand material and become more passionate about learning. I graduated from Harvard College in 2010 where I majored in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. I also worked for two years doing biological research. Now, my plan is to attend graduate school next fall and to continue on working in the field of public health. I’m excited to make learning fun and interesting for my students!

...writing at an advanced level. I spend my free time playing soccer, volunteering at the Downtown Emergency Service Center (DESC) homeless shelter, playing the piano, hanging with friends and much more.

I look forward to meeting you and look forward to helping you reach your goals!... I believe that every student is inherently unique, and I will do my utmost to play to every individual's strengths. It is my philosophy to act more as a guide and push the student to come to the answers themselves!
