...significantly improves long term recall, instead of simply feeding them formulae and rules for them to regurgitate on an examination. As a 23 year old, I am not very far removed from either the ACT or the SAT, and feel as though this will help me better empathize with specific concepts and areas students are struggling with. I graduated high school with enough credits to obtain a minor in mathematics from the University of Minnesota....

...as helping Hispanic families learn English, while not forsaking their native language.

I can't wait to...

...certain principle. Having tutored high school students in math and science for a number of years, I know how to help students get past what can initially appear to be daunting conceptual barriers. Last, but not least, I know what it's like to struggle. I am not a math and science genius who breezed through college to get his astrophysics degree. I had to work very hard for my grades, especially during my freshman year....

I am a pre-med student at the University of Kansas. I am studying molecular, cellular and developmental biology. ... Practice, practice, and practice some more!...

...working on isn't so strange after all! Before beginning to work with Varsity Tutors in August of 2014, I worked in a K-8 school as an intervention math teacher. There, I tutored elementary- and middle-school students in math in small groups. Working in that setting taught me more about how to explain abstract concepts simply and creatively, and about how to use quizzes and evaluations to track student progress. During college, I helped my peers...

...and I strive to help every student I tutor gain the necessary skills and habits to achieve whatever score they are aiming for.

...going home and repulsing my family by describing, with details, the dissections we had done in my anatomy class. I always received bewildered looks, but I needed to tell someone; I could not keep all this knowledge to myself. It then dawned on me that I wanted to pursue a career in which I could express my love for science while playing the role of an educator. After spending many hours shadowing various dentists, I...

...style. Therefore, my primary goal is to not only make the topics fun to engage the student, but also capitalize on their personal learning style so they may have the most success. As I identify their learning style and what is most effective, I also equip them with knowledge and tools related to their learning style so they may become an independent scholar. As an biomedical engineer, my strengths are in the sciences (biology, anatomy,...
