...is Vivek, and I'm currently a freshman at the University of Pittsburgh, majoring in Neuroscience. My experiences in tutoring have come from working at a nearby center called "Perfect Tutors" and from helping classmates at my after school academic resource center.

...in college I spent my time volunteering at local hospitals and researching novel neuroscience techniques. I will attend medical school at Geisinger Commonwealth Medical College this fall. Having taken all of the science classes since high school, I know how daunting and hard science material might seem but if taken at a very fundamental level, it is much more logical and simpler than how many high school teachers or college professors make it seem. Thats...

...and Organic Chemistry. As a pre-medical student and a Neuroscience major, I've taken extensive coursework in biology, physiology, physics and math, so I am qualified to tutor those subjects as well. In addition to my strong science background, I love reading, writing and learning about culture and language. I took four years of college level Spanish and I'm proficient in reading, writing, speaking and listening in Spanish, with a particular knack for explaining grammar and...

I am a sophomore at the University of Pittsburgh majoring in BioEngineering on the PreMed track looking to minor in chemistry and economics. I have tutored for several years now, ages ranging from 12 year olds to 18 year olds in subjects mainly focusing on math and science. My goal for tutoring is to get the student comfortable enough with the material that he or she could teach it themselves.

...strengths and weaknesses are. After allowing them to work through and explain a few problems in front of me, I try to tailor an individualized teaching method to best suit each student's specific needs.

...to assist a math class at an alternative high school once a week. This taught me the importance of teaching the subject and not merely showing how to solve problems. I have a deep love for science and mathematics and I revel in the opportunity to teach others about the subjects I love.

...test. I also excelled in Calculus 1 and 2 during my freshman year at CMU. I have previous experience in tutoring from teaching introductory Algebra to a class of 30 students entering high school. Due to a busy semester, I am unavailable during the week for in-person tutoring sessions, but I can make time during the weekend to schedule consistent meetings. Relevant subjects that I feel comfortable tutoring in: Algebra 1 Algebra 2 Pre-Calculus Trigonometry...

...math ranging from basic arithmetic to AP Calculus and Physics. My years of experience allows me to customize tutoring to all abilities and learning styles. I received my bachelors and masters degree in education from Duquesne University. I feel that relating the topics to areas of interest help close the learning gap. I have a very patient and relaxing demeanor which I have fine tuned with my almost 1 year old son!

...have done this by relating the material to real-life situations so students can make comparisons between content and things they can see everyday. My main focus is math and science, so my methods of teaching truly help students when much of what we go over in the course may not be visible to the naked eye. I am currently a teacher of Chemistry and Biology and look forward to sharing some of the information I...
