I am a Mechanical Engineer. At the moment though, I have decided to change directions and pursue a career in medicine. As I go to school part time and prepare for my MCAT, I am tutoring physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry, here at Varsity Tutors with my spare time.I graduated from New York Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and then obtained my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Stony Brook University.I'm able to tutor physics, math, chemistry, and biology from grades 7-12 and the collegiate level. For those looking to get straight A's throughout the semester or ace the regents, let's start the year off on the right foot.My teaching methods are excellent, and unlike most tutors, I bring fun and excitement to the subject, because we all know how boring the physical and biological sciences can be at times. Using various analogies and examples, I find that I capture my students attention and bring the best out of them.Most importantly, I look forward to helping my students, allowing them to excel and achieve their goals. After being tutored by me, you will be believe me when I say, "The Sky Is The Limit."

I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology & Experimental Neuroscience from Elon University, located in North Carolina. Shortly thereafter I began to work towards my PhD in the field of experimental neuroscience research. My strongest subjects include statistics, math, and the sciences. My favorite subject to tutor would have to be statistics, mostly because I have taken so many classes in this subject that it is like second nature at this point. Outside of my education, I am an avid golfer. As a scratch handicap, I went to college on scholarship to play for a Division I NCAA team.
I began teaching at the college level nearly ten years ago, and have taught courses in writing, literature, philosophy, and history. I have taught a wide diversity of students in a variety of contexts at several different institutions, including a one-an-a-half year tenure in Senegal working with West African students. As a professor, I have always highly valued opportunities to work with students on a one-on-one basis, and this experience led me to seek out work as a tutor. As a tutor I am most passionate about teaching writing, critical thinking, history and philosophy.I am a currently a doctoral student in the Philosophy Department at Stony Brook University, presently in the dissertation writing phase of the program. I have a MA in Art History and Theory from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BFA in Painting from Maryland Institute College of Art.When beginning to work with a student no matter the level of the student or the subject matter to be covered I always make sure that the student and I are on the same page. This means, in the first place, that I understand exactly what the students goal is and what she or he wants and needs from me. It also means that the student understands how I plan to facilitate the achievement of her or his goal. I am also sure to learn from the student what she or he feels to be their greatest weakness or source of difficulty in the pursuit of their goal. Establishing all of these things at the outset allows me to devise the most effective lessons and the ensures that the tutoring process is as effective and efficient as possible.
I am a recent medical school graduate from Dow University. Using proven techniques to memorize and understand key concepts, I teach my students how to break down the most difficult questions. It can be an overwhelming task to memorize the massive amount of information expected of a student in an anatomy or physiology course. The key is not memorization, but pacing yourself, practice and placing key concepts at the beginning and end of each session. Having a basic understanding of how our brain memorizes and processes information is an essential prerequisite for all students. I have over 5 years of tutoring experience from medical school in subjects including Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology, Microbiology and many other health sciences courses.
I absolutely love teaching! I've taught ESL, Spanish and Italian to students ages 7 through adulthood! I teach Spanish and Italian in a high school during the day and then teach ESL to adults and young children two evenings each week. During the summer months you'd think I'd rest right? Nope! I take my amazing 12 year old son and we travel to Central America to help build homes during the morning hours and I then spend the afternoons alternating between a middle school and a high school teaching ESL. I consider myself blessed to say that I have a career doing something I absolutely love and enjoy!I was raised in New York and received a B.A. in Hispanic Languages and Literature from SUNY Stony Brook. While doing my undergraduate study, I concentrated my studies in the Central and South American regions. My Master's degree is in Romance Languages (Italian/Spanish), also from SUNY Stony Brook.When I am not teaching or studying, I enjoy reading, going to the movies, boxing, and traveling! Well, I think that about wraps me up in a nutshell!Looking forward to meeting you soon!-Esme
I am currently a freshman at Stony Brook University studying Electrical Engineering and Physics. I began tutoring privately in my junior year of high school and continued in my senior year, while also joining a tutoring center called Best-Score Learning that promoted group-tutoring. I find joy in tutoring subjects such as Mathematics and Physics, as I am able help students go through the problems and see the bigger picture. Being a Math and Physics geek myself, I feel content when a student is able to see through the obstacles that come up when solving a math or physics problem, and appreciate the beauty of the subjects. Being an immigrant myself and knowing the value of education, I find it important to help students to see the value and appreciate the opportunity in becoming an accomplished person. In my free time, I love listening to music and analyzing them, watching and playing Soccer, reading books and learning new concepts and ideas, and hanging out with my friends.
Hi! I'm currently a sophomore at Stony Brook University and a member of the 8-year Scholars for Medicine Program there. I recently graduated from Stuyvesant High School in downtown Manhattan and absolutely love city life. I've had many experiences teaching kids of all ages here and abroad. I tutor subjects in math, science, and english/writing. I also tutor for the ACT(35) and SAT (2160) standardized tests. I love teaching and meeting new people so I would be glad to offer my service to you. Thank you!
I am a Wake Forest University graduate with a degree in Psychology, and I am currently pursuing a career as a physical therapist.I have over 5 years of tutoring experience with students ranging from elementary to college level, tutoring math, reading, writing, and science. I have also had experience tutoring the SAT, as well as helping high school juniors and seniors with their college application process and essay writing.Throughout the years I've been a student, I've had many teachers and tutors, both good and bad. My personal philosophy is to respect my students and engage with them on their terms, and to foster a sense of purpose and positive attitude towards whatever I'm tutoring. I believe that a positive student-teacher relationship creates the best learning environment, and I try to achieve this with each of my students.I am a basketball junkie. I also enjoy football, lounging with my dog, and watching Netflix.
I'm all about problem solving; whether designing drugs, computer applications, or basic chemistry and math problems it all starts with the same steps:A) What do I know?B) What do I want to know?C) How do I get from A to B?I did PhD research in computational chemistry and dream of becoming a middle school math teacher if I win the lottery.PS - My online sessions will frequently be monitored by my chihuahua, Piper. She's quiet, but expect a pop-by :)
Hey there! I'm a senior in computer engineering looking to help out other students to achieve their goals in mathematics and computer science. I have many years of experience in math, and in High school I achieved a 5 on my AP Calculus exam.Personally, I enjoy creating projects with arduino/raspberry pi and I'm up to date in the tech world. I also enjoy reading and gaming as well.
I first started tutoring others while in high school. I casually tutored some of my friends and peers who needed help in mutual classes, such as AP Calculus, AP Stats, and AP Physics. I became more involved with formal tutoring as a member of National Honor Society. I was active in tutoring both peers in my own age group, as well as those younger than me in subjects like Calculus and Physics. After I went to college, I went back to informally tutoring some of my friends in classes that we were taking together or that I had already taken. Some of these classes included general chemistry and some organic chemistry, as well as calculus and statics and dynamics in biological systems. At my university, I am getting back into formal tutoring by becoming a teaching assistant for a biology lab/lecture that I took in the past and did well in. I have always enjoyed trying to help others understand subjects that are more difficult to grasp. I believe I have a good understanding of effective teaching methods. I believe that the best ways to learn material are through practicing problems, through making sure each component of a problem is understood, and through methods such as mnemonic devices.I am currently an undergrad at Stony Brook University. I am a Biomedical Engineering major on a cellular and molecular track. When I am not in school and have free time, I enjoy fishing, playing and watching hockey, and catching up and spending time with friends.
I have a B.A. in Political Science and a Masters of Arts in Teaching.For over ten years, I have worked in a high school resource room program providing academic support to students in small groups. My experience is mostly with 11th and 12th grade students and I know their curriculum well. I provide support in most of their major courses. I have had extensive experience tutoring students privately as well, both on the high school and college levels. I have privately tutored students in social studies, social sciences, literature, math and some science. My approach to teaching is very student centered because I think each student needs to be treated as an individual to maximize their educational experience. In my spare time, I enjoy music, art and the beach.
I specialize in proofreading and offer guidance in english subject matter. My goal is to assist individuals in becoming more comfortable with topics relating to english and grammar. I very much enjoy writing and I hope to alleviate discomfort associated with writing. I am also proficient in American Sign Language.
Education is the key to discovering the innovation of the future. History shows the great strides made in accumulating knowledge due to the work of legendary scholars and renowned civilizations. To put it simply, the limits of society can only be expanded by the level of sophistication of the people living in it. We live in an age of phenomenal growth in the sciences, mathematics, technology, arts etc. and the future of society will be dependent on how we utilize that knowledge.I attended Stuyvesant High School in New York City before earning a Bachelor's of Science in Health Sciences at Stony Brook University with a concentration in Public Health. My college career was focused on the Pre-Med track and involved many courses in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. In addition, I made sure to increase the variety of my course load by taking classes in Political Science and the social sciences. Since graduating from college, I have worked in a medical office and am in the process of completing my medical degree at the American University of Antigua. I am currently completing my clinical rotations and look to successfully acquire my degree next year.I have tutored officially and unofficially during my academic career. While in college, I was the tutor for my Chemistry 129 class, helping students to understand the fundamental nature of atomic bonds and interactions involved in chemical reactions. My tutoring involved leading group sessions during and after lecture as well as individual office hour appointments during the week. Learning revolved around guidance for weekly quizzes as well. My Bio 358 course covered an extensive array of topics from molecular biology, chemistry, and the social sciences and the interactions between them. Tutoring with students was accomplished by initiating and moderating discussions on online forums and well as group sessions for the concepts covered in lecture. I also was involved in tutoring fellow students for classes in an unofficial manner by leading exam review sessions as well as helping in write up of lab reports and essays.My favorite subjects to tutor are Biology, Chemistry, History, Political Science, and Mathematics. I view learning to be a lifelong pursuit and that which must be varied and broad in scope. True growth through studying many different disciplines can change the way we view the world and keep a balance of how we live in it. Its the reason I feel comfortable tutoring in these subjects because it helps me learn new things and remember the ones I've forgotten. My tutoring style focuses on devising specific plans for each student based on their knowledge level. In addition, developing a strong relationship with the student can help overcome any obstacles that are bound to occur and maintain a steady progression to fulfilling the goals of the student.I firmly believe that being a well rounded individual is the best way to approach the different obstacles and struggles in life and to constantly improve my limits. Aside from my tutoring activities, I like to involve myself in community and leadership-development activities. During my time at college and my medical school career, I have been involved in many clubs and organizations. I was also a resident assistant at Stony Brook University as well as the Vice-President/Treasurer of an anti-tobacco club on campus which were both fulfilling positions to hold. My interests also include playing sports such as basketball and football. I helped manage multiple teams for my college's intramural competitions as well as running a basketball club during my first two years of medical school.
I am a fully certified NYS Math Teacher who majored in Mathematics and then completed my Master's Degree in Education at Stony Brook. I have more than ten years of teaching experience with students at all levels of learning. I absolutely love to teach! I find it vital to form a bond with my students, to get to know them and really find out what they like, what they are good at, and what will help them to be successful. I have well practiced methods for helping students learn new material and re-learn old or difficult material. I also incorporate methods that help to greatly reduce anxiety and actually make math fun! When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my four year old, Julia, and my crazy dog, Albie. I love to be outdoors, hike, garden and read. I am also doing volunteer fundraising this year, so I am really excited about some of the projects that are coming up to help others get some of the important things that they need. I can't wait to work with your student!
I originally began my undergraduate career as a nursing major, because I wanted a job where I could learn science as well as help people. In my sophomore year, I took the chemistry nursing course and it was the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I decided to change my major to chemistry and pursue a different path. This was a difficult decision for me since I was not one of the people who thought science was easy and never had to study, I had to work very hard to understand the concepts and work through the problems.My struggles with chemistry everyday and my ability to work hard and learn anyway are some of the reasons why I teach. Students struggle with the same material I did and had the same frustrations. I can 100% relate to their feelings.My tutoring strategy builds off of using simple analogies to understand concepts and clear explanations to understand problem solving and strategies. I strive to create a safe learning environment for asking questions and saying "I have no idea what's going on. I need help."As a third year graduate student at Stony Brook University, I have been a teaching assistant since my time in undergraduate. I have taught general chemistry (I and II), honors general chemistry, and a graduate/undergraduate listed biochemistry course. I have won two teaching awards, one just for graduate students in the chemistry department in their first year and the second a university wide teaching award from all graduate students in all departments. I have tutored high school students and mentored middle school students. My career goal is to be a chemistry teacher either at the collegiate or the high school level.I like to approach each student individually and try to understand their experiences so that I can help relate chemistry to their life. It is the central science after all!
I'm a student at Stonybrook University working on a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology.

My favorite subjects to teach in are History (or other social studies) and English, I have a passion for history and literature and would love to help any student with writing essays, proof reading and among other things. Geometry and Algebra are also another strong suit of mine!
I graduated summa cum laude from Stony Brook University with a Bachelor's in Linguistics. I am currently attending Columbia University for my Master's in Communication Sciences and Disorders.I have over 5 years of experience tutoring elementary to middle school students. I have prepared students for the New York State English Language Arts and Mathematics Tests and the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT). I like to incorporate relevant discussions into my lessons because I find that is the best way to keep my students engaged and also increase their performance.I would love the opportunity to work with your child. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson!
As someone who was once tutored herself, I am thrilled at the opportunity to work on this tutoring platform. I firmly believe that education is the key to unlocking endless opportunities, and my dedication to helping students stems from my genuine desire to make a positive impact on their lives. My favorite subjects to tutor are STEM and language based topics, and my love for these subjects is deeply rooted in their ability to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. I find great satisfaction in guiding students through the intricacies of these subjects, helping them build a strong foundation and confidence in their abilities. I believe that a deep understanding of these subjects leads to academic success and empowers students to approach challenges with a resilient and analytical mindset. I firmly believe in creating a supportive and interactive learning environment where students feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and asking questions. I strive to tailor my teaching approach to the individual needs and learning styles of my students, ensuring that each session is engaging and productive. I encourage active participation, fostering a collaborative atmosphere where students are motivated to explore, inquire, and learn.
Ever since I was a little kid, I have always loved math and the physical sciences. I worked hard in high school, undergrad, and graduate school to expand my knowledge on the subject and become an expert in math. I know that math isn't everyone's favorite subject, so I'm here to share the tips and tricks that I've picked up in algebra, calculus, statistics, and trig with everyone.I'm always happy to lend a hand to those who need help. If you're having trouble in mathematics, let me know and and I'll help you to understand it!
I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MA/LS) with focus on Business and Marketing at Stony Brook University, NY, USA. Since 2008, I have been working as a Teaching Assistant and Substitute Teacher in private and public schools in NY USA.I have served for three years as the Head of the Business & Marketing Department in Bahria College, Islamabad, Pakistan. During my time as Head, I worked directly under the Principal to develop new curricula for A’ Levels and O’ Levels, interviewing new candidates, organizing college-wide events, organizing tours for new students and managing all associated paperwork and correspondence.Simultaneously, I had the privilege of teaching economics and business studies to the O’ & A’ Levels (the British System equivalent to Grade 9-12 & first two years of Undergraduate Studies).In that capacity, I strongly believe in a philosophy of lifelong learning to meet the challenges of global competence. Keeping this vision in mind, I have been able to remain sensitive to the needs of students for exploring comprehensive multi-disciplinary studies, preparation for work, academic and social competence and a sense of citizenship that incorporates the cultures of all students into instruction.These are some of the courses I have completed towards accomplishing my Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MA/LS) that have widened my perspective and vision towards HR and its relation with the Business needs and Management: Ethics in Management, Organizational Change Management, Foundations of Human Resource Management, Survey of Labor/Employment Relations, HR Management Workshop, and The Uses and Abuses of Technology.
One of my favorite writers, Bret Lott, once wrote: "Of course words matter. Of course we must choose carefully." As a teacher, I aim to impart Mr. Lott's lesson to my students, chiefly, that we must give time and effort, as well as great care, to the manner in which we express ourselves. After all, writing is a craft, much like a painter taking brush to canvas, or a sprinter gliding along a track. Keeping this and other lessons in my mind, I teach my students the value of hard work and the virtue of perseverance, all in an effort to achieve their potential.I have spent the last three years working as a high school English teacher in the NYC public school system, and earned a Master's degree in Education (grades 7 to 12). Prior to becoming a teacher, I earned an MFA degree in Creative Writing. My poems and literary criticism have appeared in such respected journals as American Book Review, Washington Square, Eleven Eleven, and others. I will bring the breadth and scope of this experience and knowledge to work for you and your needs.
I'm a biology student at Stony Brook University and a past researcher in neuroscience and x-ray protein crystallography. My background has been heavy handed with Biology and Chemistry courses and has drawn on a thorough and frequent use of algebra as a basis for most of my work. I grew up in Queens, NY and attended a small private school for most of my education prior to university. Having been a student in a small high school and a student in a huge university, I most definitely have an appreciation for personalized attention when endeavoring to learn any subject.
Do you "hate" math? I want to help! Together, we will pinpoint your weaknesses in whatever you are taking---algebra, calculus, geometry, even basic arithmetic! We will practice to boost your performance like you never thought possible! Most importantly, we will work on time management so that you can excel in math while also enjoying your hobbies or extracurricular activities!Who am I? Well, I was born and raised in California, but now, I am loving life on Long Island! I am currently a graduate physics student at Stony Brook University, and I am proud to have been recently accepted to the US Navy's nuclear program!
I graduated from SUNY Maritime College in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in business, and I am now studying physics at Stony Brook University. My personal philosophy is that anything is possible when someone has a goal he or she set for herself or himself and he or she willing to put in the effort to attain that goal, even if the steps in between are difficult or not very interesting to them. That goal can be as simple as passing a single test or as big as knowing exactly what they want to do one day and working as hard as they can to achieve it. My favorite subject is Physics because I love seeing how the universe works; I also enjoy math because it's a huge part of Physics!My method is to first make sure the student knows exactly what the question is asking them to find, then break the question down into as many simple steps as needed to show the student how to progress to the right answer. Rather than perform each step for them, I prefer to guide the student from one step to the next ensuring they understand why each step is necessary before moving on to the next. Besides that, practice makes perfect!
I am a junior at Stony Brook University, majoring in Applied Math and Statistics. I tutor in practically any form of math, whether it is algebra, calculus, statistics, or standardized test prep in math. I love helping people in any way I can, and teaching math is something I thoroughly enjoy doing. I like to share my knowledge and share my passion of mathematics to others through tutoring. While everyone else may not feel the same way as I do about math, my goal is mainly to help others learn and understand mathematics at any level, and make them feel confident in their abilities to do math. Outside of my passion for math, I love to listen and make music. I am a big fan of playing and watching sports, especially basketball.
I, Dylan Trott, am a hardworking Mechanical Engineering student at Stony Brook University that understands the importance of helping others. I believe in uplifting my fellow students and offering my knowledge to any and all students who need it which is why I believe varsity tutoring is a perfect fit for me.
I received my BA in English from Barnard College, Columbia University, where I graduated summa cum laude in 2011. I'm currently a PhD Candidate and Instructor in the English Department at Stony Brook University.Over the past eight years, I've worked with a wide range of students, ages elementary through college as both a tutor and classroom instructor. I teach college literature classes during the year and work in a pre-college program at Columbia teaching research, writing and public speaking to high school students every summer. I love discussing literature and writing with my students and enjoy working to improve their skills in these areas.
In June 2010, I graduated from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study and NYU where I studied Jazz Guitar Performance and Creative Writing. Shortly after graduating, I began working as an ophthalmic technician at a private ophthalmology practice in Brooklyn and decided I wanted to pursue medicine.I completed a post-baccalaureate program at CUNY Hunter College from Fall 2011 to Spring 2013. During this time, I completed two levels of courses in biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry and physics as well as one semester of calculus. I became involved in Hunter's Physical Sciences Center, where I went on to tutor students in chemistry, organic chemistry and physics. I also took on several private students in organic chemistry.In the Fall of 2014, I matriculated at Stony Brook University School of Medicine in Long Island, where I will soon begin my second year.When tutoring, I focus on laying down a strong foundation of understanding before delving into the nuances of different subjects. Students too often fall into a cycle of keeping up with material as a series of pieces of information, never understanding the core concepts and attempting to memorize individual facts. With science and math, it is important to dedicate a lot of time when beginning a subject to clearly understand these core concepts. I have found that successfully approaching these subjects in a bottom-up way can mean the difference between continuously struggling frustratingly through courses like organic chemistry and learning to love them.Completing my first year of medical school has given me a new appreciation for the role that science plays outside of the classroom. I am passionate about these subjects and enjoy passing that passion onto students.
My first experience with tutoring occurred while helping my family members in multiple math subjects. I then tutored algebra, geometry and physics at my local high school. My love for math and science, specifically chemistry, are driving me to become a chemical engineer. I hope that by showing younger generations real and useful applications of math and science they can become more excited about it. I'm a firm believer in positive attitudes being contagious and my main goal is to eradicate the negative stigma that surrounds math classes. By breaking down classes like algebra, calculus and geometry I can get students to understand simple concepts and then work on compounding these ideas into the "bigger picture" that each of these courses wishes to convey.
My name is Nim. I graduated cum laude and departmental honors with a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, and a minor in Writing &Rhetoric. In college, I realized that certain classes can be an obstacle for students as there are not enough of a friendly environment for them to express their concerns. For my tutoring approach, I first let students know that it is okay to make mistakes and that practice can help you improve progressively. I try to allow students express concerns they have regarding to the material presented from class and then we directly approach the lesson by having an understanding of what the student does or does not know. After the lesson, I would review the points that we learned and having a goal of students practicing material on their own. The method can be adjusted based on student's individual needs. I have a year experience in teaching organic chemistry and physical chemistry in college. I worked directly with any students who needed additional assistance, but also focus on one-on-one tutoring. These were the students who needed extra help, so I work with them during class to make sure they didn't fall behind and clarify questions they might have. I held review sessions in Organic Chemistry, where I choose questions to review and occasionally teach important points to understand in a topic. I want to benefit the students I work with as much as possible, therefore I welcome any feedback from the students can provide. I am easy to reach and will always provide fast responses. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson.
I have been tutoring since 2011 when I retired from developmental optometry, a specialty in which I saw the same children and adults on a weekly basis, using many of the same concepts that are used in tutoring. I have always enjoyed math which is necessary to understand optics and optometry and now I am pleased to watch my students' "aha" moments when they discover the joy of math. The National Tutoring Association has certified me as a tutor and an academic coach.
I'm a physics student at Stony Brook University with interests in mathematics, baroque music, and music theory.
I currently have an honors degree from Stony Brook University in Applied Mathematics andSstatistics, I am also currently in graduate school at Stony Brook University to receive my Masters in Teaching.Working with students has always been a passion of mine and is now something I am pursuing. I currently work as a part-time dance instructor and teach children ranging from the ages 2 to 18. Through this job experience I have helped encourage and inspire student to do their best and have also helped tutor these student on occasion in between classes. I would love to continue to help students achieve their goals and push each student to their fullest potential!
Throughout my academic career, I always found ways to make hours of studying enjoyable by coming up with silly mnemonics, jokes, and puns about the material I would have to otherwise dryly trudge through. Whether it was my preparation for AP exam week, pre-med course midterms, MCAT, medical school finals, or my USMLE Step exams, I always found that the best way to manage stress, avoid burnout, and memorize material effectively was to make it fun rather than a chore. By combining my hobby of performing improvisational comedy with my passion for teaching, I've developed an engaging style of tutoring over my 3 years of experience as a college and med school TA. After graduation from St. George's University School of Medicine, I'll be pursuing an MBA in healthcare management and applying for residency in psychiatry, a field I'm deeply passionate about.
I have been tutoring students since high school. It is an aspect of my life that I find very rewarding. To be able to take someone with an attitude of the topic being too hard to being confident enough to approach any challenge. I love showing how a deeper understanding can translate to being able to adapt to any situation you encounter on the test. This approach served me well as both an undergraduate and graduate teaching assistant. This is more than a career for me, it is a life style of constantly learning and sharing knowledge.
As a 4th year undergraduate student at Stony Brook University, I understand how difficult school can be. I have gone through my share of trail and error in how to study. I also understand that not every method of studying works for everyone and some subjects require different methods of studying. But in all cases, perseverance is necessary to succeed. I have been a teacher's assistant for general and organic chemistry. I have also tutored for molecular biology and basic statistics. Throughout my time, I have learned that students are smarter than they believe. Most of the time, students just need clarification, patience, and encouragement.A little about myself: I am a pre-med student with a major in Health Science and a concentration in Public Health. My end goal is to one day work for the World Health Organization, traveling the world and helping to prevent epidemics such as Ebola and malaria. But in the mean time, I focus much of my time tutoring, so I can help others achieve the academic success that I have had.
I am a junior studying computer science at Stony Brook University. I enjoy teaching so I would love more opportunities to teach. I taught as an undergraduate teaching assistant for a computer science course before. I like to exercise and play video games for fun.
I am currently completing my fourth year of the B.A. / M.A. Combined Program in English and the Teacher Preparation Program at Stony Brook University. With a strong background in literature, composition, and teaching methods, I believe that I am prepared for the dynamic and exciting challenges of tutoring students for their English classes. Through my coursework, I have designed lesson plans based on the Common Core State Standards. During my field experience in diverse Long Island school districts, I observed engaging lessons and had the privilege of observing the administration and grading of the English Regents Exam. As President and Co-Founder of the Stony Brook Book Club, I led weekly discussions and created a comfortable and intellectually stimulating environment. As a teaching assistant in the Massapequa Public Schools Summer Music Program, I taught students new skills and concepts while encouraging their continued growth. I believe that every student can find a book he enjoys and with the right practice, can express himself through writing. I love to read, bake, and scrapbook in my spare time.
With a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering, my education focused heavily in calculus, math at all levels and physics. Biomedical Engineering also helped developed my biological knowledge.I have experience as a TA during my undergrad and graduate years. I have been teaching in a plethora of subjects for more than 2 years. With experience in labs and research, a publish author with three scientific papers, I will be able to help however needs help in these areas.
