Lerna

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +12 Subjects

I am a native Spanish speaker born in Panama. I have a BA in Journalism from The University of Panama, and have traveled extensively in the United States and abroad, interacting with many people of different backgrounds, ethnicity, and social, financial and academics levels. I have previously worked as a reporter for newspapers, magazines and most recently I have been teaching conversational Spanish, basic Spanish grammar, Spanish reading and composition to beginning, intermediate and advanced government and private students from teenagers on up.Teaching has been a rewarding experience for me. It has given me the opportunity to help my students open the door to a different, exciting world of understanding and communicating in an additional language to their own, and an opportunity to know a different culture. Patience, persistence, practice, and working together as team to build a firm confidence in my students to speak, read and write Spanish is at the core of my philosophy of teaching.Understanding the goals and needs of my students is a top priority for me, and I make the goals of my students my goals. Respect for the confidentially and privacy of my students, is also important to me.I have only recently moved to Florida and have been enjoying the wonderful weather, the sun and walking along the ocean. I love reading in several languages, like to watch American and international detective mysteries, classic movies, and I love Latin American, Mediterranean and Asian dishes, especially Thai and Vietnamese food, and Chinese breakfast dim sum.

Chemistry Tutor • +9 Subjects

I have B.S. in biochemistry and B.A. in French. I have been a supplemental instructor for organic chemistry for 2 years and I have helped native speakers in French and English to learn the other language. I help students with their goals by creating a plan with several smaller goals to achieve a larger overall goal. It is important to communicate with transparency about these goals, the student's progress, and the student's educational needs. I use feedback to adjust my teaching style and track the student's progress.

Christopher

MCAT Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills Tutor • +32 Subjects

I received a BS in Life Sciences and a BS in Spanish from Penn State. As a college senior, I taught weekly didactic recitations and labs in General & Developmental Biology, Biodiversity and Physiology, all of which included scientific writing. For 2 years post-college, I worked as a clinical research assistant at Harvard Medical School before moving to New York to complete my MPH in Epidemiology & Global Health from Columbia. As a graduate student, I was a one-on-one and group tutor for Epidemiology and Biostatistics, the quantitative disciplines of health science. Lastly, I received a PhD in Epidemiology in 2022 as an MD/PhD student. Many of my former students have kept in touch, and since my first teaching experiences, I have always received positive evaluations regarding my personalized commitment to each student, my understanding of science material, and my classroom humor (learning is fun!). This feedback is something that I am proud of and will continue to strive for throughout my career as an educator.Prior to medical school, I spent 7 years working as an epidemiologist with the CDC, global NGOs and Columbia University with a particular expertise in infectious disease and maternal-child health in sub-Saharan Africa. My career demands very strong quantitative skills and competencies in scientific reasoning, and there is nothing I enjoy more than sharing that knowledge with the students whom I tutor and mentor. I have taught multiple graduate-level public health courses at Columbia and Brown, and in my spare time, I like to read, cook and eat various cuisines, travel and maintain a fitness routine.I scored in the 95% overall on the new MCAT (93rd-99th percentile in all 3 science sections), and in the 93rd percentile on my USMLE Step 1 board licensing exam (considered the more "science-y", preclinical exam and most difficult for most test takers. My strong academic background, years of teaching/tutoring/training experience, achievements in scientific research, passion for working with students, and high scores on the GRE and MCAT qualify me to tutor on a wide range of science subjects as well as test taking strategy and study planning, which I believe are the hallmarks of successful test preparation.Throughout many years of science education, I have honed my study skills in ways that have drastically reduced study time while improving my core competencies and test accuracy. More so, I have written several competitive admissions essays and thoroughly enjoyed helping applicants refine their college or graduate school personal statements. My ultimate goal is to pay all of this practical advice forward to the next generation of aspiring scientists, physicians and educators for decades to come!

Cameron

AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +12 Subjects

I am a graduate of Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts degree in English Literature. During my time at Kansas State, I worked as a student tutor on subjects ranging from geology to French, and while pursuing my Master's degree, I taught Expository Writing to college students. While I am experienced with Writing and Language tutoring and enjoy teaching both, I am primarily a standardized test tutor with Varsity Tutors. Test prep combines the challenge of adapting to different learning styles with the high degree of reward that comes from helping a student raise his or her test scores and therefore open doors for that student, and for this reason, it is by far my favorite subject to tutor. I believe that an educator must first appreciate how each individual student approaches a new concept in order to understand the most effective means for that student to progress, and for this reason, I place the utmost importance on the student rather than the subject. When I am not tutoring or substitute teaching, I enjoy playing guitar, watching football and writing fiction.
