I am from Montana originally and grew up on my parents farm/ranch that they still own and operate. I graduated from Montana State University with a BA in Philosophy with a religious studies option. I love learning about the world and helping others to do the same. However, my first love was science and math. I tutored college statistics and freshman chemistry for two years at MSU. I want to continue to tutor math and science at the primary and secondary level alongside philosophy. My personal philosophy on education is that we are all both students and teachers and we all continually learn from and teach one another. Teachers and tutors act to facilitate new discoveries, and the best teachers strive to develop a personal learning strategy for each student so they may succeed themselves.I've served two AmeriCorps service terms after college and recently moved to Portland May 2014 to seek new opportunities. I'm dedicated to helping others and look forward to getting to know my students.

I am a graduate in Finance from Mumbai, India and currently pursuing Level-B2 in French. Educating students is a step towards a brighter future! Working with students is always a learning experience for the teacher. Learning is a work of art that requires the 3P's patience, presentation skills and practice; that's where I step in to guide you in the right direction to achieve and seamlessly accomplish your targets in life.

I am a Health Sciences and Biology double major at Northeastern University, graduating in just one year. I have worked in part-time biology research lab for three years, as well as full-time in a hospital in Boston for over a year now, in both clinical and research settings.My tutoring experience started a few years ago when I taught a nutrition class to children in their early teens, teaching them the basics of nutrition, such as picking healthy ingredients and avoiding processed foods. Since then, I have been a part-time tutor, and I look forward to meeting lots of new students through Varsity Tutors!As a current college student, I have taken many of the classes I tutor very recently, and am still actively involved in learning, especially in science classes. When I am tutoring for a course, I like to teach the students the way I would have liked to be taught, and I try to teach things that help them remember the material more easily, and connect the dots to understand the big picture.

Tutoring represents the opportunity to work closely with a student in particular subjects I am passionate about. As a chemical engineering student at Vanderbilt University, I have always been passionate about learning math and science. I have also particularly excelled in these fields, perhaps due to my passion, and I managed to score a 790 on the math SAT and SAT II. I also took 5 AP Exams as a high school student, receiving 5s in Calculus BS, statistics, computer science, biology, and chemistry. At my university, I received an honors scholarship for my academic performance in engineering, and I currently aspire to continue my education at a higher level. As a tutor, I will motivate students, set clear goals, and help students progress towards a higher level of understanding.

I am a retired orthopedic surgeon who had been in clinical practice for close to 40 years before retiring. I did my undergraduate training at the University of Southern California (go Trojans) graduating with a BS in Biology. I attended the Georgetown University School of Medicine and went on to specialty training in Orthopedic Surgery at UC San Francisco finishing up with the United States Army Medical Corp with the rank of Major. I have been practicing orthopedic surgery since then until retirement. In surgery, there has always been the saying "see one, do one, TEACH one. Education has always been important in my family; and all four of my kids are graduates of the UC system. They all experienced the trials and tribulations of SATs, National Merit, AP courses, etc. In my spare time I have built lifted off-road four wheel drive vehicles, every desktop computer we have owned from components, have mastered unusual computer programs such as AutoCad, and have welded together a utility trailer that even passed California inspection. I plan to learn a musical instrument. The big advantage I would have in the subject matter of human anatomy, biology and physiology is the fact that there is no closer proximity to the subject matter than having actually working on the anatomy when the anatomy is still alive.

I can help with reading and writing for students of all ages and adults . I can also help prepare and organize for tests and help with study habits in general. I have been a tutor with "Erie House Neighborhood House" for 5 years where I tutor students from the 6th grade to 12th grade. I have also worked after school, in a CPS school, with students from the 5-8th grade.I am a native speaker of Spanish and have taken college level education to have fluency and proper grammar.I also have intermediate-level French proficiency. I can help tutor students with beginner's French.

I graduated with a business degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in Manhattan. I spent 3 years of my time at FIT tutoring writing and English to students and faculty (mostly on curriculum).With students, I focused heavily on college essay writing, admissions essays, resume and cover letter building and improvement, scholarship applications, and personal writing. All of the students I helped with college admissions essays and scholarship essays have gained entry into their desired programs, and/or have received the scholarships for which they applied!The skill level of my students ranged from rudimentary to scholarly - I am happy to work with any student, no matter their level!I even studied abroad in Hong Kong for a semester and was part of the English Club on my campus. That was a great experience!When I graduated from FIT, I spent some time tutoring high school English and writing, as well as test prep at tutoring/mentoring start-up in NYC. It was interesting to take my college tutoring skill-set and begin to teach high school students.I have additional experience as a professional writing consultant, for individuals who aren't looking for academic help. I am also an editor of an online magazine, where I help guide and oversee staff writers' contributions and post articles myself from time-to-time!I'm excited to work with students on this platform and help them take their English writing and grammar from good to great! I'm also excited to make deep connections with the amazing students that come here to learn!

I'm currently majoring in bioengineering/pre-med at Rice University. I graduated as the valedictorian of my high school class. My interests include biology, math, and violin performance. I've done neuroscience research at the Jungers Center for Neuroscience Reseach and the Oregon National Primate Research Center. I've also done molecular biology research at the Oregon Stem Cell Center.

I have been teaching at the elementary level for 25 years, working with special education students grades 1 through 5, and teaching in the regular classroom grades 4 and 5. I have also worked as a reading interventionist at the elementary level working with children who experience reading difficulties. I have also tutored students for several years in various after school programs.Outside of tutoring, I enjoy traveling to Europe, Mexico and the United States. Walking and biking are fun types of exercise for me. I also enjoy needlepoint, going to movies, and spending time with my new grandsons.

I have six years of experience in biology, math, chemistry and several other biological courses. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from Ohio University and obtained my master of science degree in physiology from Case Western Reserve University. I am devoted to continuing to master biology and sharing my knowledge to bridge the gap for others that find it harder to grasp. I am patient and have a unique teaching method. In addition, I am a visual learner and translate this into my teaching pedagogy. I use drawings, diagrams, flashcards, practice exams and quizzes to communicate new knowledge to students. I am a great listener and my sole concern is to understand a student's learning gap and find tangible ways to bridge it. Outside of academia, I am a biochemist for a local pharmaceutical company that synthesize various drugs that are currently in clinical trials. I am very friendly and outgoing. I enjoy indoor rock climbing, eating sushi and shopping.
