I'm a current medical student at the University of Arizona College of Medicine with undergraduate degrees from Washington and Lee in chemical engineering and anthropology. I have extensive experience in tutoring and teaching since 2010, and am ready to help you with your learning needs! I focus on standardized testing (SAT/ACT) and also tutor in a wide range of math, English, and Spanish classes. In my free time, I like to run, do CrossFit, volunteer, and watch TV!

I am studying Chemical Biology in UC Berkeley. One of my passions is Organic Chemistry, which I used to loath but now enjoys after taking a year of it. Also, because I like helping others, I enjoys tutoring/teaching students who are struggling. During high school, I have tutored other high students after school on various subjects such as Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Latin. During college, I have held informal review sessions for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry for my underclassmen. I t...More

I'm a retired hi-tech professional with a passion for education. I view tutoring as a way to help the next generation develop the skills that will be required of our future workforce. I helped my children ace the PSAT and SAT and secure college scholarships. My daughter was a National Merit finalist. I helped one of my VT students qualify for National Merit and secure admission to Harvard and two others to secure high school scholarships. I look forward to working with you to help you achieve yo...More

I am a constructivist educator. This means that my goal is to make meaningful connections between what my student already knows and the material they are attempting to learn. I think students learn best when they are appropriately challenged in a safe learning atmosphere.

I am looking at their work 'from the outside' and can therefore see where they have improved whereas the student might see their struggles more clearly than their progress. I also believe and emphasize that learning is an ongoing process, and academic skills don't come naturally to most people - they are skills which require practice over time. With a subject like Spanish, I try to relate to the student's struggles by talking about issues that I found difficult as well.

I am a fan of the "Pomodoro Technique," which uses a timer to split each half hour of the session into a 25 minute work period followed by a 5 minute break. The promise of a short respite helps students power through distractions, and the break helps ward off frustration.

I am passionate about the topics I love to tutor. I received by B.S. in Life Sciences, summa cum laude, from Arizona State University. I am currently a fourth year medical student at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix pursuing my M.D. Some of the subjects I tutor include Biology, Microbiology, Physiology, Life Sciences, Pharmacology, MCAT Biological Sciences, Graduate Test Prep and Cell Biology. Some of my favorite subjects to tutor would have to be MCAT Biological sciences...More

I am a recent graduate of Arizona State University with a Bachelors of Science and Engineering (BSE) in Chemical Engineering. I was selected as the outstanding graduate for the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering and have extensive math, physics, and writing experience. I recently applied and was accepted to many top-ten PhD programs for engineering because of academic merit and personal statement writing skills. I will be attending the University of Texas at Austin in the fall.

I am working with a student on an essay, I will work with them by going through both comprehensive edits (thesis, focus, commentary) and then minor edits (grammar, active voice, punctuation). Other sessions may include practice test questions, essay planning, and sound boarding to generate ideas and solutions!

I am very excited on the first day of every semester to meet my new students! It is my goal to make all the material relevant and interesting. I want my students to be as excited as me to learn each and every class. While I currently teach college students professionally, I still really enjoy tutoring younger students. I have worked with students from kindergarten all the way to 12th grade, teaching math, computers, English, and Spanish. I look forward to my time working with students and will d...More
