I also received the opportunity to teach and share my knowledge during a medical mission trip to India that focused on medically underserved populations and their families. In this role, I was able to provide comprehensive medical care in the newborn nursery and...

...the Big Bang Theory. In my spare time I enjoy running (I've run 5 half marathons and had to recently stop training for a full marathon due to a stress fracture in my foot), hanging out with friends, and exploring Philadelphia. I like to tutor by having conversations with students. I don't pretend to have all of the answers, but together I hope to be able to work through any questions that you may have....

...use of technology so expect to use many technological tools for educational purposes. In my experience helping struggling students prepare these tools can be of great help breaking the ice into the material before and after sessions. I am a firm but kind in my teaching ability and I promote and encourage students to understand the material in a way that is always interesting and applicable to their daily lives. In my spare time, I...

...showed me the importance of developing a quick alliance with the student enough to at least help them see me as more than someone their parents had hired to make them do something and more as someone who genuinely cared about them. This is an ever-developing skill of mine that I had a chance to practice during my pediatrics rotation having to help kids quickly feel comfortable answering questions from me, a stranger in a...

...science courses or MCAT preparation, I'm a great tutor for you. I graduated from medical school three years ago and am now an orthopaedic surgical resident, and so I have a great deal of real world experience with mathematics and the natural sciences. I use my knowledge to engage students in the learning process. I understand that each person learns in an individualized manner, and I always try to work with the student's natural tendencies...

...thorough and in-depth practice exams. Today, I facilitate a small writer circle/workshop for my friends every Saturday morning. I have just recently finished a 2.5 year position at The University of Pennsylvania;s Agatston Urban Nutrition Initiative where I taught nutrition and wellness, as well as some classroom gardening. I am most at home with students and am very excited by watching the light-bulb finally go off. I am a great tutor because I genuinely love...

...Medical College at Jefferson University. My goal as a tutor is to help make the subjects I love approachable to other students, and to teach the study techniques that have served me well in school. I have tutored people in Biology, Physiology, general and Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Writing proficiency, and Physics. I also teach SHSAT prep to 7th graders. I am qualified to teach strategy and content for the SAT and MCAT, as well as...

...macroscopically. I particularly like tutoring biology because there seems to always be something more to learn or further understand. Through collaborative effort and learning, understanding the very principles and functions of our own bodies can be easy and fun! Beyond science, I love the outdoors and hiking, and am also huge sports fan. I still play ice hockey and am know to sometimes get absorbed in a good tv show or movie on a Sunday...

...turned pre-med. I attended Wesleyan University and then decided after college to pursue medicine, completing a one year post-baccalaureate premedical program at Bryn Mawr College. Having personally undergone the transition from a humanities to a science student, I feel passionately that the sciences can be learned by any student, even those for whom it might feel a little more challenging. Working as a tutor for biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and neuroscience, I actively implemented...

I am a first year medical student who is excited to teach others! I would love to help anyone who needs help with tutoring in the sciences or SAT prep. I have a very flexible schedule so I am willing to work around other students' schedules. I can't wait to help!

...vehicles, every desktop computer we have owned from components, have mastered unusual computer programs such as AutoCad, and have welded together a utility trailer that even passed California inspection. I plan to learn a musical instrument. The big advantage I would have in the subject matter of human anatomy, biology and physiology is the fact that there is no closer proximity to the subject matter than having actually working on the anatomy when the anatomy...

...of learning, so I cater my lessons to best align with each student. I will never ask my students to work beyond their capabilities, but I will strive to show them they are capable of far more than they may initially think. Through providing an interactive and engaging teaching environment, I will do my best to bring each and every student to fulfill their potential and ultimately enjoy what they are learning!

...their full potential. Communication is key to success in the tutor-student relationship, and I work hard to make sure that we both understand the commitment and the goals that we are working towards. Each session should have a goal that we go over in the beginning of the session and agree on and if time permits, at the end, go over that goal and see what we want to review for next session. While I...

...satisfying experiences in my life. I aim to rekindle that same satisfaction here in Philadelphia, by tutoring the wonderful students this vibrant city has to offer. I very much look forward to creating new experiences here in Philadelphia and providing an exceptional quality of academic guidance to as many students as possible. Of course, given my upbringing, I will add creativity and flair to allow for an entertaining and positive learning experience. As we say...

...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...

In my tutoring sessions, I go out of my way to get to know students to adapt activities to their learning styles and to help them reach their personal goals. Additionally, I like to make sessions hands-on. Having had...

...help understanding key concepts in their courses but improved studying habits that will assist them in their future academic endeavors. I have been an advocate for the advancement and growth STEM education since my freshman year of undergrad. I've found one of the best ways to enhance STEM education is to make sure students understand key concepts and receive quality assistance outside the classroom in the form of tutoring. I am a graduate student that...
