Rebecca
BA University of Pennsylvania
1+ Years Tutoring

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor's degree in Biology in May of 2013. My coursework at Penn emphasized Chemistry, English, and Writing in addition to Biology. During my college years, I worked for the Penn Tutoring Center as a General Chemistry tutor. Although I enjoy teaching this subject most of all, I am experienced in a broad range of subjects. I am enthusiastic about helping students to learn course material ranging from Biology and Chemistry to English and Writing.I took the MCAT exam in August of 2012 and completed all of my medical school prerequisites at Penn prior to graduating. I wanted to expand my research and teaching background after college, so I am taking two gap years before starting medical school. During the day, I work at Penn's Abramson Cancer Center as a clinical research coordinator; however, I am very passionate about teaching others how to learn more efficiently. My schedule is very flexible during weeknights and weekends, and I want to use this time to help other students to succeed. Besides tutoring, in my free time I find personal satisfaction in music, fitness, and nature. My hobbies include singing, playing the guitar, biking, and cooking.I am available to tutor high school and college students in their regular coursework as well as in standardized test preparation. I learned a lot of effective test-taking strategies while completing my undergraduate degree and taking the SAT and MCAT standardized tests. I enjoy sharing my strategies with students and helping them to fine-tune their own skills to meet their academic goals. In my teaching, along with reviewing important course material, I introduce students to new study tactics and problem-solving tips. I believe that tutoring should not only focus on a student's current coursework, but it should also help them to develop their natural abilities in ways that they can carry throughout the rest of their academic career.

As a devoted lifelong learner, I frequently participate in professional development, courses, and workshops. This love of learning permeates my professional life and I enjoy helping others identify and reach their learning goals. I recently graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Education with my Ed.M. and have experience teaching people of all ages in museums over the past two years. Prior to that, I worked as a registered nurse for five years where I often did patient education in the middle of fast-paced, high pressure scenarios. I believe everyone has the capacity to succeed academically. However, each person's path to success is unique, requiring personalized strategies that complement individual learning styles. I am happy to work with students to help them discover the strategies that are most efficient and satisfying for them.
