...data-driven neuroscience. Currently, I am tackling the arduous process of applying to medical school. I've tutored in various modes: as a tutor in math, reading, and writing for young inner-city children, as an SAT instructor, and as an educational volunteer at St. Elizabeths Hospital. I can work with and relate to a wide spectrum of backgrounds. Whenever possible, I am either playing the piano, bicycling across the city, volunteering at a couple different hospitals, shadowing...

...of extracurricular experience formatted and solidified my interest in education. My work with BrainReach, in which neuroscience students create and present lessons to elementary school students in high need schools, especially contributed to my passion for education. I have tutored and/or taught a variety of ages from 4-21, as well as a variety of subjects including all sorts of Mathematics, Sciences, and Test Preparation. I am a passionate and enthusiastic tutor, and l love opportunities...

...theatre arts industry, but my passion for science has never faded. As my coursework leaned more significantly towards the arts, I found tutoring to be a sharp connection to the sciences. Even if I were not going to be a scientist, I could definitely help others on the path! In tutoring I found another passion. There is truly nothing more rewarding than working with a student through their learning process, crafting creative lessons that light...

...from people who use these subjects every day: for example, a Spanish speaking scientist. My teaching style is very different to that of a typical classroom because I use concepts from science and math every day and understand how they are most easily applied and explained. I try however possible to enrich the learning students gain in the classroom with practical applications for the scientific world. My teaching of Spanish can also best be described...

...important because it is very hard for a visual learner to learn from just listening. I also engage the student in learning. For example, having them label a diagram that I have just talked about. Most important -I encourage my students to ask questions, make comments, even disagree with me. I like making math and science come alive for students. I have successfully worked with elementary, middle school, and high school students. I am also...

...explain it in simpler terms than you yourself learned it. Thus, as a tutor, I consider it my duty to not only pass along knowledge, but to also help the student hone the skills necessary for continued success in future endeavors. Because let's face it, learning is a life long process! In my free time I enjoy running and playing soccer as well as the study of linguistics. With regard to linguistics, my most recent...

...only teaching others the fundamentals of good scientific investigative practices, but also reviewing and solidifying the concepts for myself. My strength in these fields is a deep understanding of the basics and the lack of fear of students' probing questions. I have no problem, when necessary, to take the proper time to look up and reproduce the solution for myself and share that process with the students, in fact it can be an enjoyable exercise.

...prepare these potential first generation college students to succeed in their high schools’ college prep coursework. I continued teaching during college and graduate school where I was a teaching assistant for several undergraduate Physics courses and a lab instructor for an introductory Earth Science course. Nowadays, when I’m not tutoring, you can find me judging at local county science fairs or volunteering at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. I’m always happy to talk...
