Award-Winning Science Tutors in Long Beach, CA

...It might not always be easy, but it can definitely be done. Differentiation is key, and that's why I employ various teaching methods to appeal to learners of all varieties. After all, variety is the spice of life. I especially enjoy creating games, quests, activities, and visual aids that “trick” children into learning. I also place special emphasis on critical thinking skills, which can be applied in the classroom and life; as the saying goes,...

...versed in preparation for all health professions school exams. In high school, I also tutored extensively in Biology, Mathematics, History, and English. I finished high school with a 4.80 GPA, which put me in the top 1% of my graduating class. I earned outstanding scores on multiple Advanced Placement tests and the SAT. My consistently high levels of academic achievement are due to my dedication and solid study habits, and I know I will be...

...the History of Science and Medicine. I really enjoyed living overseas and had heard great things about the outdoor oriented lifestyle in New Zealand. After completing my Master's degree, I moved to New Zealand where I studied medicine and traveled throughout the country. Upon completing the last of my clinical rotations, I moved back to the U.S. to get more research experience as a research assistant in Stanford University's Department of Anesthesia. As the Winter...

...It's a passion I hope that you will share too. I've always been the go-to person for my friends when it came to science homework and I loved spending the time teaching them. I remember that in high school, science wasn't my strongest subject, but in college it just clicked. It would've been hard to believe back in high school that I would be graduating college as a pre-medical student and already hearing back from...

...are math and history. My tutoring style varies from student to student (and often with the subject). For math, I often give some overview of the concept, theoretically and visually, then move into application and practice. I feel it is important for a student to understand why the concept is introduced and where we’re going with it, before they are able to fully apply it. That being said, practice is very important, especially with the...

...II, geometry, chemistry, and U.S. history. In the fall of 2012, I also dedicated 2 hrs/week teaching basic human biology to underpriveleged 4th graders at St. Raphael's school in LA. The experience was so empowering and rewarding that it has inspired me to pursue a career in academia once I complete graduate school. During my time at USC, I was a full-time student-athlete competing in Cross Country and Track & Field. Being a NCAA student-athlete...

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." ~Nelson Mandela I hold this quote by Nelson Mandela to be so true and applicable to everyday life. Education and learning are the greatest things that anyone could receive. I've been fortunate enough to be given a great education and want to pass that onto others to see them succeed.

...a clothespin, a popsicle stick and various bits of electronics gleaned from my many visits to Radio Shack. When it was time for me to go to college, I received a full ride to Berkeley and spend 3 semesters there pursuing a physics degree. However, I caught the travel bug early on and I transferred to the University of Sydney where I received a double degree in physics and advanced mathematics. After taking a year...

...lab. My project was to synthesize a topologically interesting porphyrin. Applying what I had learned in class to a real research project helped me to realize the importance of what I had learned. Hence, I try to conduct my tutoring sessions in this fashion by keeping it interactive and showing my students how what we learn is being applied to our everyday life. My understanding is that knowing the practicality of the information proves its...

...educational background has greatly helped me to be a better mentor. Following high school, I studied medicine for three years in a foreign medical school. I then started my education all anew in community college in California, and after two years transferred to Johns Hopkins' Engineering. I graduated in 2014 with multiple departmental and general honors and distinctions, and in 2015 I started studying medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Because...
