Hi, my name is Richie. I'm in my fourth year of study at the Ohio State University College of Medicine. I'm originally from Burien, WA and that is where I am currently located as I wait to start my Internal Medicine residency training program in July 2016. I enjoy helping students master difficult subjects, and I have had multiple tutoring experiences (both paid and volunteer) in college and medical school. I've also worked as an MCAT tutor and Gross Anatomy TA in the past.I have a B.S. in Cell Biology from Western Washington University and an M.S. in Physiology from the University of Cincinnati. I am most passionate about subjects that can be applied to human medicine, including Anatomy, Physiology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Pharmacology and Microbiology.I believe that rote memorization is ineffective. It is better to seek to truly understand the fundamental principles of a topic and then use that information to reason out the best answer on a standardized test. My goal as a tutor is to give my students that fundamental understanding, and also teach the "test-taking skills" that are an unfortunate requirement for academic success today.

I make a great tutor because I have experience tutoring a variety of people in a variety of subjects. I know how to cater to different styles of learning since I've tutored athletes, who are historically not driven, as well as pre-medical students, who are historically driven, along with everyone in between. I also know how to listen. Tutoring is not all about teaching. It is also about knowing what your student wants and needs and figuring out how to give them that in a way that makes sense to them. I also really enjoy the subjects I can tutor and I feel that that enthusiasm reaches the student in a way that makes them feel more engaged.

I am a Doctorate student at Logan College of Chiropractic where I am also pursuing my Master's in Sport Rehabilitation. I hold two B.S. degrees in Exercise Science and Life Science. I grew up in Tennessee and plan practice Chiropractic there when I graduate. I have been tutoring at the graduate level for some time now, and hope to use my tutoring skills to become a part-time college professor in the future. In my free time I enjoy playing tennis, riding horses, exploring St. Louis and being outdoors.

I graduated from Drexel University with a degree in Biology and two minors in Spanish and International Area Studies. I am currently working at the NIH. I have experience tutoring college, high school, and middle school students. During tutoring sessions I like to pinpoint where the problem areas are and begin by working with students on the fundamentals. Once the basics are covered I like to work through problems together as a way to learn material, but ask that students spend some time studying topics at home/doing practice problems that we can go over during the tutoring sessions.

Both my parents are retired teachers which made education a very highly valued subject in our home when I was growing up. We were encouraged not only to learn in school but to appreciate opportunities to learn and be curious in all daily activities. During my undergraduate years at Miami University where I achieved a Bachelor's Degree in Science as well as my time in medical school at Rush University Medical College where I will soon receive my Doctorate of Medicine, I have tutored fellow students as a way to help out as well as a way for me to stay sharp with tricky subjects. I believe that teaching is the best way to reinforce knowledge and master material. We all learn in different ways and I think that identifying our strengths and weaknesses as learners can help us succeed as well as know when to ask for help. Certain subjects and the methods by which they are delivered may not fit the learning style that best serves you - this is where I feel tutors can provide assistance in order to keep up your confidence and progress. I greatly enjoy teaching and tutoring in the biological and physical sciences, many levels of math, and Spanish. Also,I have taken many standardized examinations on my way to medical school and tutor in ACT, GRE and MCAT test preparation. When not tutoring, I enjoy cooking, listening to and playing music, playing soccer and basketball and spending time with my 4-year-old daughter.Learning and education are lifelong endeavors, let me help you when you need a little help or are completely lost on certain subjects. Regardless of your needs, I'll be happy to figure out your learning style as well as to listen to your goals and help you to achieve and surpass them.Take care!

I am a recent Mizzou graduate who is currently applying to medical schools. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English. After getting my degree from Mizzou, I completed all of my medical school prerequisites at the University of Missouri St. Louis last year. I have experience tutoring French, English, Pre-algebra, Chemistry and I have volunteered helping elementary school kids with their homework. I love school and I love to learn but I know that it is really hard to have this attitude when struggling with a subject and I love helping someone take acquire the tools they need to succeed in hard subjects. English is my favorite subject to tutor. I love the challenge of close reading, editing essays and discussing novels. I can even help dissect poems! In addition, I took all my science courses (and the MCAT) very recently so Chemistry, Biology and Biochemistry are all fresh in my mind. I would be happy to help you conquer the MCAT, particularly the Verbal Reasoning section. When I am not at school I love to be outside. I like to do yoga, rock climb, boulder, paddle board, run and hike with my dogs. I also love to read.

I am a graduate student in biological anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I moved here from Kansas City (grew up in Central KS) to attend school though I come from a family of Packers fans. My graduate research is very multi-disciplinary covering content in anthropology, biology, psychology, neuroscience, and some public health as well. As an undergraduate, I did a double major in Anthropology and Theatre & Film then went back to school to do pre-medicine and molecular biosciences. Prior to my emergence as a teacher, I was a phlebotomist for several years and worked in a research laboratory for the University of Kansas Medical Center. Outside of working as a teaching assistant and my own classes, I function as the president of the Anthropology Student Union, take dance classes, watch Mad Men and Game of Thrones, and try to keep up with my favorites sports teams.I enjoy tutoring because I get the opportunity to do more as a mentor. As a tutor, I want to help the student learn new concepts while also teaching them study skills that are usually not taught in a classroom but only get better with practice. My teaching philosophy is to encourage the student to be confident with the material versus striving for perfect memorization. Different individuals learn some things better than others and it is about finding a way to make that information important or real based on your personal memory recall. For example, do not ever make me change a tire... Though I have seen it done multiple times, I never had to do it myself so I never learned!

I'm a fourth year medical student in the Boston University Seven Year Accelerated Medical Program. This year I'm taking a year off to do research in clinical dermatology with Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital; I hope to eventually become a Pediatric Dermatologist!Although I grew up in Illinois, I have spent the majority of the last 6 years in Boston so I feel like it's a second home. My tutoring specialties are in SAT and ACT Test Prep, Algebra, most Science courses and Writing (especially college admissions essays! I served as an Undergraduate Writing Fellow in college and lead tutoring courses in Psychiatry during medical school.Outside of tutoring, I love hot yoga, trying new cuisines and traveling. Thailand and Egypt are my absolute favorite!

I am proud to say that I am a lifelong learner. I have had the privilege of being educated across three different continents from Montessori, public, parochial, magnet, Ivy League, private, and adult learning institutions. I have just recently finished my Bachelors of Science in Nursing, Magna Cum Laude with Honors, at Lenoir-Rhyne University. have a Bachelors in Psychology after attending both Yale and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Masters in Business Administration from Pfeiffer University, and am currently working on a second Bachelors of Science in Nursing at Lenoir-Rhyne University. I completely understand the pressures of maintaining good grades with extracurricular activities, trying to stay competitive for college or graduate school, and even having to study within time-constraints from having to juggle a full-time job. I know first-hand how demoralizing making sub-par grades can be, but also the triumph of learning how to redirect focus and learning strategies while rebuilding confidence. I love to teach just as much as I love to learn. I truly believe where there's a will, there's a way, and hopefully an "A"! If you really want to understand the "why" and not just the "what will be on the test," then I'm your gal. Apart from academia, I have been a fitness instructor for 20 years, and also enjoy Latin dancing, cooking, and multicultural experiences.

I am a third year doctoral student, working towards my Doctor of Physical Therapy at NOVA Southeastern University. I am an alumni of University of South Florida, where I received a bachelor's in Health Sciences, and a minor in Public Health.I believe a good tutor provides more than just academic support. A tutor has the unique opportunity to enter a student's life at what can be a stressful or embarrassing point, and re-establish a sense of pride and achievement in their work. Tutoring can improve self-esteem and make a difference in the way your student sees their future.It is my passion to help students grow and achieve their goals. As a physical therapist, that means educating my patients about their health and wellness, and helping them move toward a healthy lifestyle. In my volunteer experience, it means mentoring high school students with the goal of developing life skills that benefit them in the future. Tutoring gives me another way to invest in the next generation, to help them realize their potential.I have experience in tutoring, with specialties in math and science. My vigorous coursework in both my undergraduate and graduate studies have prepared me for tutoring in a wide range of subjects. I am most qualified to tutor in math, science, and psychology. My favorite subjects to tutor are Algebra and Anatomy/Physiology.
