I graduated from Penn State University in May 2015 where I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Science: Biological Sciences and Health Professions, and a minor in Psychology. I will be applying to 1-year BSN programs this Fall to pursue a longtime goal of a career in the health field as a Nurse Practitioner. I have volunteered and worked in various departments of hospitals throughout New York including Montefiore Medical Center and St. John's Riverside Hospital, as well as shadowed physicians in their private practices. At Penn State, I was involved with research in Clinical Psychology as an undergraduate research assistant for Dr. Martha Wadsworth in the Coping and Regulation of Environmental Stress (CARES) Lab, studying environmental stress in low income families and how children adapt to it. I started tutoring students in Biology as a high school senior and since then I have taken a lot of pride in helping students achieve their academic goals! Learning is exciting, and though it doesn't come naturally to some people, everyone should be able to experience the feeling of accomplishment that comes from learning and mastering something new. As a tutor, I hope to help my students achieve that!

I graduated from the University of the West Indies in my home country Trinidad and Tobago as a medical doctor. After working for three years in Trinidad both in the public and private sectors I migrated to the United States in June 2013. I am currently awaiting a spot in residency, hopefully at the end of June 2015. It was a natural choice for me to spend the extra time immersed in my second love; teaching. In my time on the wards in Trinidad I had the honor of molding the minds of medical students. I not only helped them learn but I made them feel excited about medicine. I am very knowledgeable in subjects oriented around the medical field namely anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, endocrinology among others.Teaching is a skill that must be adapted to the individual student. I also believe syllabus oriented teaching is key to covering adequate material to allow a student to test well. I have solid communication and people skills that will allow me to easily establish rapport with my students and their parents. I pride myself in pushing past average, and I wish to share this trait with my students. I genuinely care about their learning. I am professional, knowledgeable and personable and these qualities will make me a great tutor.

I received a Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology Major (B.S.) and History Minor from Emory University.Throughout my undergraduate years, I worked as a Biology teaching assistant at Emory (leading review sessions in the advanced and introductory courses). Today, I mainly tutor students in Biology-related courses, including Human Physiology and Neuroscience.As a medical student at New York Medical College, I hope to offer students interested in a career in medicine additional breadth and specialized mentoring. Moreover, I also enjoy writing and would be more than happy to assist with college essays, especially scientific writing.In my free time, I enjoy volunteering as an EMT at a local ambulance corps, reading, and cooking.

I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and Biochemistry from Florida State University. During my time at Florida State, I worked as a Teaching Assistant for the FSU Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry. I spent my time teaching for the Organic Chemistry Laboratory course, as it is my favorite subject. I also have worked tutoring pre-medical and pre-pharmacy students in all of the prerequisite science courses for their respective school.I have found that the best way to tutor a student is to address each students needs and gain an understanding of their unique thought process; nobody solves a problem the exact same way. With many educational institutions adapting a philosophy of "teaching to the test" rather than an understanding, I feel an individualistic approach is the best way to complement this paradigm.When I am not working, I enjoy working on my project car, swimming, and running.

I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, with a minor in English, at Rochester College in Michigan. I am pursuing a post-Bachelor certificate in Dietetics at Virginia State University. Having both school experiences has given me exposure to a wide variety of subjects. I also have diverse tutoring experience. I tutored peers in Writing, Math and Statistics as an undergrad, pre-kindergarteners to adults in reading comprehension, phonics, math and test prep at a learning center in Michigan, and, most recently, reading, writing and standardized test preparation to a variety of students here in Virginia. I don't have a favorite subject or age group to work with; the more variety, the better. I enjoy working under a blanket fort with a Kindergartener as much as I do having an intelligent conversation about a research paper with a highschooler. No matter the age, my philosophy is two-fold: 1) learning should be enjoyable and 2) the goal of tutoring is independence. I want my students to look forward to when I come, but also to be able to confidently wave goodbye at the end of our time together because I have prepared them to handle their work on their own. When I'm not in class or tutoring, I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, gardening and boating. I also can be found very often in my kitchen, trying my hand at whatever new concoction has piqued my interest that day. I'm always willing to try new things and meet new people and I greatly look forward to meeting you!

I am a senior undergraduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill expecting to graduate in May with a B.S. in Mathematics and minors in Chemistry and Neuroscience. I have been teaching for the past 7 years in both public and private settings. Throughout high school I worked at Kumon, where I taught students who were at risk of getting behind in their schoolwork and those that wanted to get ahead of their peers. During this time I also worked with numerous students with ACT/SAT prep and placement exams in more private environments. In my time at UNC, I volunteered with AVID at a local middle school where I led sessions for groups of students in an effort to close the achievement gap and emphasize college readiness to those who may not reach their full potential without guidance. I have also worked with the Math department at UNC, conducting research and tutoring students in high-level mathematics courses. My approachability and ability to explain abstract concepts in simpler, more practical terms allow me to connect with my students and help them achieve whatever their goals may be.

I graduated magna cum laude from Texas A&M University and now am a medical student at Texas A&M College of Medicine. I have knowledge in a broad field of areas and subjects and I am always excited to teach willing students. My philosophy is that there are no hard subjects. Any difficult concept can be broken down into easier, more digestible content, based on how well a tutor can understand their students. And that is what I believe I can help achieve with any student of mine of any age.

I am a graduate of the University of Kentucky and received my Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education-Science. Following college, I completed my medical degree at the University of Louisville School of Medicine and completed pediatrics residency training at McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. I tutored large groups while in medical school in pathology, biochemistry, histology, microbiology, and pharmacology. I have also spent time in small groups and one on one tutoring sessions for a variety of subjects in science. I am available to tutor biology, chemistry, microbiology, pharmacology, and anatomy and physiology. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and microbiology because of the understanding required at a cellular level. I believe all students have the ability to excel and reach their individual goals in any subject and my philosophy lies in creating a context for understanding for the student. Science is fun and changing the framework in how a student looks at science can make all the difference.

I am a pre-Occupational Therapy student majoring in psychology with minors in neuroscience and art. I will be graduating with honors from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in May, and I will begin Washington University School of Medicine's Doctorate of Occupational Therapy Program this Fall. My academic pursuits have made me confident in my abilities to tutor those pursing degrees in social sciences along with those pursuing careers in health care. Currently my favorite subject is neuroscience. I fell in love with it after I started college and I plan on specializing in neurorehabilitionation as an occupational therapist.I have many years of experience working with children of all ages and abilities in many settings, including previous tutoring. I also have many years of experience working with children and adults with mental and physical disabilities. These experiences have provided me with skills to develop individualized plans to help individuals achieve their goals. I have had much success when applying these skills to my tutoring plans. I have also used and developed these skills further in the research I have conducted on promoting independence in adults with Autism and early intervention programs for children with Autism. My individualized interventions in both research projects resulted in increased fine motor skills in children (increasing their independence in daily cares) and successfully preparing adults for independently working in their community. These skills are also utilized in my other job at an assisted living facility for nonverbal adults with Autism.I am very happy and willing to help anyone of any age reach their full potential and pursue any goals they possess.Contact me personally for weekend availability. Currently I will often have some availability each weekend day but the time varies due to my other job. In the future, I can schedule these shifts around tutoring sessions if you wish to meet with me on the weekends.
