I received my B.A. at Hartwick College, with a focus on biology, chemistry, and psychology. I have always loved and excelled in science, thus, after my freshman year, I was invited to tutor biology and chemistry. At first, I was tutoring introductory courses, but as I gained more experience I started teaching advanced courses such as organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, etc. As I continued my college career, I became interested in physics and psychology. I kept taking physics and psychology courses to satisfy my curiosity and even ended up writing a thesis in psychology. The school at the time lacked science tutors, thus I decided to add physics and psychology to my tutoring list. Senior year I was tutoring the majority of chemistry and biology courses offered by the school and 100 and 200 level physics and psychology courses. Currently, I am a regenerative and cancer cell biology master's student at Albany Medical College. I choose this program because it focuses on applying biochemistry, biology and chemistry principles to living systems.I went to college with a dream of becoming a doctor and am still on the pre-med path. This summer I tackled the biggest enemy of a pre-med: the MCAT. Like every other pre-med, I was terrified of that exam and thought that I was not good enough to get a decent score. I was continuously discouraged as I felt that I was not improving my score. However, I employed various strategies and approaches to face the MCAT from new angles. As time passed I realized that 60% of the MCAT is test-taking strategies rather than background knowledge. With a new and correct mindset, I studied hard and finally mastered the science sections. I am excited to share my knowledge and teach others how to tackle the MCAT and move one step closer to their dream of becoming a doctor.

New grad OTR/L here! I was recently in your shoes, studying for the hardest exam I've ever taken. I made it through the NBCOT while working as an early intervention occupational therapist. This experience taught me how to prioritize my study time, focusing on the most important strategeies and concepts. I love learning, teaching, and working together to problem solve tough questions. I'm excited to help you pass this exam and become an amazing occupational therapist!

I have a passion for teaching and am excited to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Class of 2014 from Hartwick College, receiving my BA in Spanish with Education Program. I am working towards getting my Master's for ESL. I had many service hours through my college working in different schools with all age groups. I was a teacher for an after school Spanish course for elementary students in Upstate New York, giving an opportunity for kids to learn a foreign language. I completed two student teaching placements in both Spanish and Students with Disabilities in middle and high school. While student teaching, I was asked by the principal to tutor a student on the side. It was a great experience.I love working with children, and I am confident in tutoring anyone. With patience and passion for teaching, I can have anyone can achieve academically. I would like to meet the individual needs for every student by giving an unique and personal tutoring instruction that fits their personal needs.I love to tutor Spanish in any level. I always enjoyed learning the language and would love to share my passion for the language as a teacher and a tutor. I traveled to both Puerto Rico and Spain and learned so much during my adventures. I would give you confidence while learning the language. I believe that every student has the ability to complete anything that they are able to do. I also believe that through many examples and communication, anyone can achieve competency in the language. Everyone learns differently, and I am determined to find the perfect teaching style for every student.My hobbies include spending time with friends and family, playing and watching sports, dance and choreography (Orchesis Dance Club President at Hartwick College), and traveling. I love to get to know new people and I am an open and honest person.

Learning is an ongoing process. As a tutor it is my goal to help take information and make it "real" for the learner. In this way theory becomes practical information that can help one grow.Aside from helping others understand concepts, I enjoy anime, sports (basketball & skateboarding), and learning new things myself.

I am a creative, engaging and nurturing educator and leader, passionate about the arts, culture, and more.

I am currently a student at Hartwick College. I am in progress of receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Criminal Justice. Prior to joining this platform, I worked at a daycare & preschool "Nanna's Place Childcare" Where I tutored Elementary and middle school aged kids in Math, English, and History. I am able to tutor beginner to intermediate Spanish, History, IB English HL, Elementary Statistics, Algebra 1 & 2, and Psych 110. I am really passionate about helping students because I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where they can learn and grow without feeling embarrassed. It brings me so much joy to witness their progress and improvement. Seeing students thrive is very rewarding for me! In my free time I enjoy hiking, bouldering, reading, and watching Netflix.
