I graduated with a BA in Liberal Arts in 2013 from St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland. I have a very well balanced educational background and a passion for learning that I think could greatly benefit others. I have been a tutor for high school students and a teacher's aide for elementary school students so I am also well prepared for a teaching role.I am knowledgeable and ready to tutor in Geometry, Anatomy, Philosophy, and Psychology, but am very capable of tutoring in many other areas. My favorite subject to tutor in would have to be Anatomy/Physiology because I find the human body to be a fascinating machine. When I'm not pursuing more academic interests, I am either at my job as a pharmacy technician or out seeing live music/Pittsburgh sports.

For my undergraduate education, I attended the University of Pittsburgh where I received my B.S. in Neuroscience and minors in Chemistry and Spanish. Initially wanting to pursue a career in medicine, I enrolled in Columbia University's Institute of Human Nutrition where I received my M.S. in Human Nutrition. Through this program, I realized that I wanted to focus my career on improving health at the population level and thus am currently enrolled in Drexel University's School of Public Health where I will receive my M.P.H. in 2016. My tutoring experience began in high school where I tutored other high school students in math and the basic sciences. As an undergraduate, I also spent two and a half years as a teaching assistant for the Introduction to Chemistry courses during which I acquired extensive teaching techniques and skills. I tutor math, a broad range of science courses, and Spanish and love to tutor all of these subjects equally. Specifically, I enjoy tutoring students in Algebra because I believe that having strong skills in Algebra is essential to academic success in numerous other courses outside of mathematics. Furthermore, my extensive experience tutoring Chemistry students has provided me with excellent tools to guide students through this course. Finally, I have spent significant time in Costa Rica and Honduras, where I worked in medical clinics and often served as a translator for physicians. I also lived in Madrid, Spain for a month where I attended a Language Immersion Study Abroad program. Through these experiences, I have become extremely proficient and conversational in Spanish and love helping students learn this invaluable language. I am a firm believer that all students learn differently and identifying how each student best learns is essential to his/her academic success. Therefore, as a tutor, I aim to specifically tailor my teaching style to each student in order to help them maximize their potential. Outside of academics, I enjoy exercising, playing basketball, cooking, and attending concerts and other live performances in the Philadelphia area.

I believe that science should be made fun and relevant. In my teachings I use as many real life examples as possible. I do not emphasize memorization, but rather an understanding of the process and the relationships that exist. If one tries to learn science by memorization, there is simply too much information. However, if one understands the relationships that exist between factors, then one can apply a consistent process to solve the problem.I believe that all students want to know their teacher/tutor is in it with them. I strive to establish a personal connection with my students. That means I let them get to know me as a person to some degree and not just as a teacher. Once this connection is established, learning takes place at a faster pace.I am willing to do whatever it takes to help a student advance as long as the student is willing to put the effort in themself. I believe that education must be self-owned - that students have to claim their right to an education by demanding to be challenged and working to meet that challenge.

I have loved science ever since I was a kid and watched The Magic School Bus and the Bill Nye show. I majored in Neuroscience and Behavior in college, so I learned a lot about Biology and Psychology, and I plan on getting a Master's in Bioengineering. I spent two years serving with the Peace Corps in Peru, where I learned to speak Spanish, build stoves out of adobe, and a lot about life in rural communities. In my spare time I enjoy playing harp and guitar, learning new languages, and being outdoors.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2012 and am now working on a DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy) from the University of St Augustine for Health Sciences, located in south Austin. Currently, I enjoy yoga, flag football with a social league, boardgames, and trying out new recipes.In the past, I have tutored Math and Reading ages 3-15 and for high school students in various levels of Math, Sciences, and English. I also have some experience aiding college students through coursework while leading group study sessions. I also taught elementary aged children the importance of nutrition and an active lifestyle as an after school instructor in AISD. I worked with them on their homework as part of the program as well.In addition to previous tutoring jobs, I also have experience in having actually taken several AP tests, SAT, PSAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT, so I am available to help you or your child tackle their next big education obstacle. I can tutor in elementary and middle school Math and Reading, Grammar and Mechanics, English, Biology, Anatomy, Physiology. My favorite of these would have to be in the sciences and test prep. When I study, I like to have a little fun by making up mnemonics or drawing pictures and charts to help me understand the bigger picture and where each detail of information falls into it. However, everyone learns differently, so my philosophy is to adapt to whichever method a student needs to most effectively and thoroughly understand the material.

I graduated from the University of Puget Sound with a Bachelor of Arts in both International Business and Studio Art. I spent several years traveling internationally before coming back to pursue an AAS in Paramedicine. I am currently enrolled in the program at OHSU here in Portland. My experience teaching is wide-spread and varied. I have done everything from teaching English in Thailand to 8th and 9th graders to teaching college-level EMT classes. Including coaching positions, I have approximately 7 years teaching experience. My experiences have taught me that every person learns differently and that the key to successful learning comes from a mutual understanding of a given pupil's ideal academic style. To this end, I try hard to find an approach that is tailored to the student's cognitive needs. I am comfortable tutoring the sciences (especially Anatomy and Physiology), math, French, the arts, literature, and essay writing. I really "geek-out" on biology and A&P because it never ceases to amaze me that the delicate and precise mechanisms that drive our existence came about purely through a long process of statistical expression and deletion of traits. Whenever I manage to remove my self from my studies, I try to get outdoors to enjoy our beautiful Northwest. I live for activities such as skiing, kayaking, and climbing. When I can't make it that far, I'll settle for soccer or waterpolo.

I am an MD/MPH student. I have lived in Baltimore for three years, and I am originally from Australia. I moved to the US to play college tennis and then I stayed in the US for medical school. I am currently doing a Master's degree in public health and my schedule is very flexible.I am able to offer tutoring in a variety of subjects, especially in the areas of mathematics and science. I have tutored students before for SAT prep and have experience with teaching anatomy. I also taught tennis for five years which is where I gained most of my skills in teaching.I really enjoy teaching and I find it extremely rewarding. I love working with students to help them grasp new concepts. Most crucially though, I like to inspire students to want to learn and to help students to develop strong life-long learning habits.

I am a very interactive and friendly person. Tutoring is my passion ever since I was in high school. I went to medical school and earned my MD (medical degree) in my country, Ethiopia. After I graduated I worked in Hawassa University and Health Sciences College as an instructor. I delivered lectures for students in areas of anatomy, physiology, microbiology, pharmacology and nutrition for over two years. I used to also give one-on-one tutoring sessions on the same areas.I believe learning methods should be individualized depending on each and every student. I try to build on what already exist. I try to assess what my students already understand about the subject matter and try to relate the new and difficult concepts based on that. I also use different examples, diagrams and role plays to make things easier. I encourage interactive learning styles. I enjoy tutoring and love to see my student make it through their exams and become successful. I am very dedicated to see all my students reach to their goals and I work hard to get them there.

I make a great tutor because I have experience tutoring a variety of people in a variety of subjects. I know how to cater to different styles of learning since I've tutored athletes, who are historically not driven, as well as pre-medical students, who are historically driven, along with everyone in between. I also know how to listen. Tutoring is not all about teaching. It is also about knowing what your student wants and needs and figuring out how to give them that in a way that makes sense to them. I also really enjoy the subjects I can tutor and I feel that that enthusiasm reaches the student in a way that makes them feel more engaged.

Hi! I'm Thomas. I am a graduate from medical school (MD) and have completed my Master's in Public Health (MPH). I've been tutoring all my life and am excited to continue with Varsity Tutors! I specialize in most Math and Science subjects, as well as subjects directly related to medical school (and of course the MCAT). I've always enjoyed learning, and I believe anybody can improve in any subject if it's presented to them in the right way. If you're struggling don't be discouraged!
