Good education is, in my belief, the single most important thing we can pass on to the younger generation. I am very motivated to equip young minds to learn more about the academic world, introducing them to Mathematics, English, and Science. Equally important to convey are life skills including treating others with respect, working in teams, and learning how to be fit and healthy. My experience tutoring is rooted in anywhere from elementary to college-aged students. Through the RISE for Success Program at my undergraduate institution, I have been able to gain an adept understanding of how many college students learn material. Through various tutoring opportunity as a team leader during summer camp I have also developed several methods for tutoring/teaching new material to student ages 10-17. Each of these experiences has revealed that no two students learn exactly the same and that each lesson must essentially be catered to the specific student and subject. As a medical student, I am a firm believer that an essential part of patient care is quality patient education. In school, more education translates into better opportunities, and in life, education provides greater control over ones circumstances. Meaningful patient education can have a parallel effect. Tutoring inspires me to set my own personal goals of listening and communicating more clearly in my day-to-day interactions with the hope that one day as a practicing physician I will be able to hone these skills and thereby empower my patients to be in control of their health as well through educating them.
