I have a tremendous amount of patience combined with a goal-oriented mentality. I find a ton of joy in teaching others the things I've learned. I understand every student is different, so...

...a course, Paint Nite instructor) I found that I do best in a 1-on-1 setting which tutoring fits the bill. My teaching style is incredibly laid-back and my end-goal is making sure that one is comfortable with me and also with learning the material. In my free time I like to knit, cook, draw/paint, as well as being an avid Redditor. My dream in life is to travel around the world and experience the culture...

...a different way. For instance, I would learn each subject on my own and then teach my fellow medical students. This helped me remarkably to pass my board exams with decent scores, and in the process I became fond of teaching. Therefore, I would like to share my knowledge of basic sciences that I have worked on since I started medical school in 2007 up until now. Above all, I loved helping others achieve the...

...accepted into this selective program. The tutoring program involved a preliminary peer-tutor training course prior to beginning tutoring, in order to certify that I had the appropriate background to provide professional feedback to fellow students on their literary works and projects. After graduation, I worked for a full-service learning center where I created and implemented high school lesson plans for home-schooled students, provided academic support for students ranging in ages from 8 to 20 years...

...take someone with an attitude of the topic being too hard to being confident enough to approach any challenge. I love showing how a deeper understanding can translate to being able to adapt to any situation you encounter on the test. This approach served me well as both an undergraduate and graduate teaching assistant. This is more than a career for me, it is a life style of constantly learning and sharing knowledge.

...bases so that you can achieve the high test scores and grades that you deserve. My goal is to get you to love learning science and I will be sure to put in all the effort required for you to succeed in this regard. When I'm not studying or working, I enjoy power-lifting, running, listening to and playing music, reading, spending time outside at a park or beach, cooking, and traveling abroad whenever possible.

...We have developed the first cephalopod, shark, and stingray models for the study of brain disease. My formal doctoral training is in Cell Biology with a concentration in Neurotoxicology and Pathology. In addition, I am currently an assistant professor at St. John’s University. I have over ten years of teaching experience and I have received the Bromberg Scholarship for Excellence in Teaching in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009. As an instructor I bring my own...

...and this translates perfectly to my role as a tutor. I will not give my students the answers to their questions right away. Instead, I will guide them along the right path so they can arrive at the correct answer by themselves. Giving away answers robs students of their valuable opportunity to grow as a learner by making connections between different concepts, integrating them, and applying them to a particular question. Students always walk away...

...School of Medicine at Mount Sinai getting my degree in Biomedical Sciences. I received my undergraduate degree from Rochester Institute of Technology in Biomedical Sciences. My ultimate goal is to become an Orthopedic Surgeon with the hopes of opening my own practice. My hope is that through tutoring I am able to inspire students to love the subjects as much as I do. Learning should not only be informative, but fun as well.... I believe teaching...

I am a forward thinking educator who wants to change the way the biological sciences are taught to students, particularly in the secondary and higher education levels of instruction. I strive to teach biology in a manner that combines both expository and inquiry-based teaching with the ultimate goal of not only providing knowledge to students, but more importantly, provoking an intrinsic passion for the beautiful subject.... Learning the material and why it’s worth learning in the...

I am a highly motivated and dedicated scientist with strong background in molecular biology, protein biochemistry, behavior and signaling studies. I have intense research experience in different cell-tissue cultures, biochemical techniques, electron microscopy, cognitive behavioral assays and molecular genetics. I also have excellent communication, organizational, competitive intelligence, and analysis skills. I have over seven years of teaching life sciences, biology, and genetics courses at the University level.

...at Northeastern University in Boston I have always found time to get involved with teaching opportunities. I was a tutor at a Health Sciences Academy after school program where I spend time working with 9th and 10th graders on activities such as their homework, science projects, and computer labs. I have also worked with a younger age group as a member of a pre-school Head Start program and engaged the children in activities such as...

...Columbia Athletics. As such, I feel very confident tutoring a wide-range of students, in both their abilities and ages. While I am confident in tutoring a wide-variety of subjects, science is my passion and I have a great love of biology. As a student, I always enjoyed learning most through examples and case studies, and when appropriate, I enjoy bringing in my research and patient experiences as a way to illustrate core concepts. Outside of...

...deepest learning comes from answering guided questions and coming to one's own conclusions, then matching those conclusions to available standards and literature. I also believe in providing modes of concrete, pictorial, and abstract learning for every standard to truly solidify understanding for all learning styles. In my free time, I love visiting art galleries and I am currently working in a contemporary gallery as well! I also enjoy making art works and sitting back with...

After graduation from St. George's University School of Medicine, I'll be pursuing an MBA in healthcare management and applying for residency in psychiatry, a...

...cementing concepts in their minds. I also heavily emphasize developing intuition as opposed to rote memorization. If a student can learn the foundational ideas that underlie the sciences, they will be able to work their way through any future problems based in those foundations. I also apply this philosophy to test prep, but supplement exam studies with a strong focus on test strategy so that my students can "beat the test".

...Using proven techniques to memorize and understand key concepts, I teach my students how to break down the most difficult questions. It can be an overwhelming task to memorize the massive amount of information expected of a student in an anatomy or physiology course. The key is not memorization, but pacing yourself, practice and placing key concepts at the beginning and end of each session. Having a basic understanding of how our brain memorizes and...

...really looking to work through these issues with potential students. 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...
