I am a graduate of Goucher College, where I received my B.A. in Physics with a concentration in astronomy, and the University of Colorado at Boulder, where I received my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering. I have been tutoring and teaching on and off since my senior year of college. That year, I served as a supplementary instructor for introductory physics courses. I led weekly group tutoring sessions with 15 or more students, where we collaboratively worked on homework problems and practice quiz and exam problems. In 2012 after graduating, I taught science and outdoor education classes to children ages 9-14 for 5 months at an astronomy-themed camp in the mountains in southern California. During grad school in 2013, I was a teaching assistant for undergraduate engineering courses in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. In the spring of 2014, I volunteered at a high school in Longmont, Colorado helping high school students prepare for AP exams in calculus and physics.My background is in physics and engineering, lately with a focus on renewable energy and environmental issues. I love to tutor in physics and calculus because of the trickiness of the problems and the unique euphoria students can feel when they master the analytical techniques required to solve these types of problems. My tutoring philosophy is to empower students to feel confident in their own abilities, NOT to cultivate dependence or rote memorization. To do this, I tend to ask a lot of questions, utilize my sense of humor, try to get students to approach problems and difficult concepts in new and different ways, and emphasize rigor, devotion and effort. I believe that learning is about reaching inward into your belief and potential more so than filling in blanks correctly on a test. That said, I take approaches to conventional classroom techniques seriously and have extensive experience figuring out how to solve problems quickly and efficiently and perform well on tests. Overall, I see myself as a teammate as well as a coach when I tutor, to provide encouragement and empathy as well as guidance.In my spare time, I am an avid rock climber and mountaineer, and my other hobbies include soccer, tennis, running, reading and writing. I love to stay active but feel nearly equally as comfortable with a good book.

My name is Rashaun, I am a Jamaican, born and raised in the capital of Kingston. I moved to the United States to begin university at the University of South Florida in Tampa. I am currently majoring in Biomedical Sciences and I am aim to graduate in the year 2019.I am currently involved in many leadership and peer leading positions at the University of South Florida. I am a Resident Assistant, Vice President of the Jamaican Alliance Movement and former Executive Vice President of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. In these leadership positions I have gained a passion for learning and understanding the way things work. I realize it helps me to wok better and optimizes success for myself and others when I know what to do, how to do and why I do the things that I should.I also apply this same strategy to my studies. I currently have a 3.92 GPA at the University of South Florida and attribute this achievement to my devotion to understanding and grasping my subject in its entirety. I love sharing my knowledge with others with hopes that they can take that knowledge and use it to their benefits to achieve great things!

There was nothing I wanted more when I was a boy than to own an Xbox. We could not afford thesekinds of things, so I salvaged pieces from broken consoles and assembled my own Xbox one summer.Admittedly, it did not resemble an Xbox but it worked. Growing up in a single-parent household, Ilearned to be resourceful early on. After my mother remarried, things got better financially. I did not haveto give up my birthday money to make rent anymore. Still, this time presented different challenges as mystepfather struggled with a drug & alcohol addiction. I learned to keep myself busy, mostly burying mynose in Harry Potter books or fixing old Japanese cars with my uncle. By the time I was in high school, Icould take an engine apart and reassemble it with new internal components. My propensity to understandcomplex machinery piqued my interest in engineering, which I was encouraged to pursue. Yet, fate ledme to take a pathophysiology course in high school that would introduce me to the most complexmachine of all: the human body.My decision to study medicine after high school was a choice that would evolve greatly over time. Afterall, no one in my family had gone to college or pursued a graduate-level education. I had a naturalcuriosity for science & the arts, but it had not exactly translated into a direction quite yet. It was not untilI spent 6-weeks at Duke School of Medicine's Pre-Medical Program that I found my calling. The mentorsI met at Duke had heart. They operated on a source of fuel previously unbeknownst to me purpose.Working alongside them, I experienced the long hours and learned about the brave sacrifices they hadmade along the way. One thing was always clear: there was no other place in the world that they wouldrather be. From this point on, I simply felt lucky. I stopped caring about how many years I would be inschool or how difficult the journey would be. I understood the privilege and responsibility of beingentrusted with a life and found fulfillment in the day-to-day journey.Reflecting on my time in medical school; I thought about how deeply I enjoyed clinical problem-solvinghow I did not want it to change. I loved waking up early to greet my patients and chat with them aboutwhat I had read the night before. I did not mind walking across the hospital to deliver a pair of crutches orbring a bathroom scale from home so my patient could monitor their fluid status after discharge. I alsounderstood the challenges. Inpatient medicine is spontaneous, and spontaneity demands sacrifice. Thelists of demands are endless, and therefore, every internist will have to sacrifice certain aspects ofthemselves for their patient. Yet, when I sacrificed, I experienced more, learned more, was taught more,and developed better judgment.Early in Medical School, I came across an opportunity to participate in a research project that needed afluent Spanish speaker. It was an excellent opportunity to learn how to design & conduct a quality studyfrom scratch. Our aim was to identify patients at high risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) afterbeing hospitalized with traumatic injuries. I worked with two other students, who would later becomesome of my closest friends. That summer, we took turns covering the inpatient unit 24/7. I learned how tocarry out a protocol, organize and interpret data sets, carry out a quality literature review, and prepare aproper manuscript. I also learned how to have difficult conversations with patients given the nature of ourstudy. Early on, we began to identify patients who suffered from severe PTSD and were able to arrangespecialized care for them. It was so gratifying to see our work directly impact patient care. This exampleillustrates the agenda I bring to your program and how I understand the value of evidence-based research.As an internal medicine resident, I want to further develop my ability to function as a patient-centeredphysician. At the same time, I want to be prepared to represent my patients at the table when decisionsare being made about healthcare resources. Having pursued a dual MD/MBA degree, I valueopportunities to apply that knowledge toward improving hospital management & healthcare deliverysystems. Furthermore, my vision of servant leadership encompasses diverse settings where I can continueto work with underserved communities. Practicing at a teaching institution would also allow me tocontinue the research activities and medical education that I enjoy. Altogether, I seek a program thatvalues the same tenacity I had to build my own Xbox, the curiosity to always find joy in learning, and theheart it takes to give patients our best even on the worst days.

I am currently getting ready to apply to nursing school in hopes of achieving my career goal in becoming a nurse anethesist. I have been blessed to have so many people help me to succeed in areas of my life thus far and I feel like it's time to gift back what I have received. I enjoy helping others reach their educational goals especially if it's in an area of studies that I know I can help them achieve success in. My strongest subject is math but I can also provide assistance in writing, reading, and literature. In my spare time i really enjoy spending time with family and friends, music and comedy shows, traveling on my vacation, or just relaxing at home and catching up on new and old favorite Japanese anime.

I am an expecting graduate of Ohio University in May 2017. I will receive my Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology with minors in biology and nutrition, as well as a certificate in diabetes. After graduation I plan to attend Physician Assistant School to eventually practice medicine in the field of emergency medicine or pediatrics. Throughout my academic career I have tutored a broad range of subjects including nutrition, organic chemistry, human anatomy and physiology. I am most passionate about human anatomy as I have been a teaching assistant at my university for three semesters, and will continue to do so for another two semesters. I often engage students that are stuck or unmotivated by including fun learning tools such as Jeopardy, animations, and memorable mnemonics. In my experience, remarkable improvement has been observed when students first understand fundamental concepts and then build their understanding to tie together what they are learning with the importance it has in today's society and their future careers. My goal is to perpetuate the importance of education to broaden the horizons of my students in hopes for a brighter future. Outside of academics I enjoy hiking, kayaking, playing the ukulele, and watching engaging shows on Netflix.

I graduated from UMASS Boston, Bachelors in Chemistry. Graduated from the University of Honduras Medical School (Central America), General Medicine/Family Medicine. Graduated from University of Phoenix, MBA. Taught Analytical and Inorganic Chemistry to Pharmacy, Biology, Microbiology, Dental students over 8 years. Taught Scuba Diving, Sailing. Enjoy helping students understand and comprehend the natural world. I'm bilingual English/Spanish, have developed instructional materials for students from a variety of backgrounds.I view scientific literacy, and critical thinking as imperative to becoming a responsible citizen, and the future survival of environment.
