I am an undergraduate student at Stonybrook University. I am a biology major on the pre-medicine track. I recently graduated from high school with an advanced diploma in Math and Science, achieving a 95+ score in all regents tests. I have tutored students at my temple and at my high school. Even though I have tutored many subjects, my expertise is in highschool math and science classes. I also teach chess, having a 1200+ rapid rating. I greatly believe in teaching with fun and passion and I try my best to make the learning process for my student as fun as possible. In my spare time, I usually practice magic tricks and I might incorporate tricks in my lessons.

I have been tutoring for years in a variety of subjects, but my true passion is the structure, mechanics, and analysis of language - both English and Spanish. I graduated as Valedictorian from Stony Brook University with my B.A. in Spanish Language & Literature. I have been studying Spanish since the 6th grade and have spent extensive periods of time abroad, which range from taking linguistics classes in Madrid to doing farm work in rural Mexico. I love to learn and teach others. While finding the right answer is important, I also want my students to develop critical thinking skills that can be transferred to many realms of life. "Bring a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
I am a recent graduate of Stony Brook University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Math and Statistics. Currently, I am studying for the FM and P exams in Actuarial Sciences. Mathematics has always been my strongest and most favorite subject. I was on the Math team for several years and participated in various regional Math competitions. I also have years of experience tutoring in formal and informal settings in a myriad of math subjects ranging from Algebra to Calculus IV.It is my passion to show students the beauty in math and disprove the many misconceptions of it being difficult and nonsensical, which I often find stems from poor communication between students and their teachers. As a tutor, I aim to rectify that problem with one-on-one sessions designed to tackle concepts from a different angle, that perhaps the teacher had overlooked. There is no better feeling to me than that moment of clarity when a student finally understands something they had been previously struggling with.Aside from math and studying, I also play guitar and write music in my spare time. Although many people probably would never think so, math and music are actually codependent, and one could not exist without the other. They are both natural occurrences, and I consider their relationship a unique form of art. My individual love for them both has given me a greater appreciation and understanding of them separately.
I am a PhD candidate in English literature dedicated to teaching writing, reading comprehension, and literary analysis.
Hi! I'm Aderinsola, (Sola for short) and I graduated with my Bachelors in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University and my Masters in Biophysics/Physiology from Stony Brook University. While I was in college, I realized that the best way to comprehend what is taught isn't always in a classroom, but through your peers so I'm ready to help you in any way I can by simplifying everything into everyday language.I most recently worked with an enrichment program teaching science and math to elementary, middle, and high school aged children, and I figured that I loved it so much that I should expand past the four walls of my school. Plus I love the look on kids' faces when they finally get it!To some people math looks like a whole different language, but I understand it enough to turn it into simple english. I promise it's not as hard as they might make it in the classroom and I'm here to strengthen your skills so that you can see that too!I also LOVE science, even went back and got a second degree in it, so I'm pretty well rounded when it comes to biology, biochemistry, and physiology. Again, for some these subjects seem like a different, intangible world, but I promise that I can make it real, tangible and understandable.I want to help students as much as possible, and I plan on doing so through some innovative and exciting learning. I'm easy to reach and I'll always provide fast responses.Please feel free to contact me!
I am a sophomore at Stony Brook University on the pre- med track studying towards a major in Psychology. I love Biology, chemistry, and Psychology and am currently teaching my own chemistry course at Stony Brook University under the guidance of Dr. Troy Wolfskill, the head of the chemistry department at the university. So far I love my teaching position as it not only brings me happiness in helping others succeed, but it helps me build a stronger understanding on how to be a better instructor. When I teach, I try not to lecture the student, but engage them by connecting what I teach with real-life scenarios. Especially in hard sciences like biology, this makes it much easier for students to understand the topic. Outside of academia, I am a professional swimmer of 15 years, I love to hike, bike, and scuba dive. I also work part time as a model and am a market specialist for Bai, a drink company based in the northeastern America.
As a devotee of educational importance, I cannot be more determined and excited to see new faces and spread the knowledge that has been bestowed upon me. I am a Syosset High School graduate, a part of the Stony Brook University Class of 2020, and a future part of the Stony Brook Medicine Class of 2024. As a member of the Honors College and the Scholars for Medicine program, I am working towards a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Chemistry in my undergraduate studies and will be working towards a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree in my graduate studies at Stony Brook Hospital.Ever since junior year of high school, I've been exposed to a plethora of tutoring opportunities that have helped me perfect my skills in the field. I've worked as a volunteer tutor, an employee for the Kumon Learning Center, and as a private tutor. I've allocated 650 hours of tutoring experience towards the academic progression of elementary, middle, and high school students alike, and I can't wait to tutor you next!Over the span of my tutoring experience, I've taught subjects ranging from middle and high school mathematics and sciences to SAT/ACT/AP examination prep, with a strong focus in the latter. My favorite subjects to tutor are those covered by standardized exams because, as a student who formerly performed poorly on these exams, I've experienced not only the struggle from scoring inadequately but also the joy and relief from improving significantly and overcoming the odds. This is why my mission is to ensure each and every one of my students experiences the same jaw-dropping improvement that I experienced.
I am a recent graduate of Stony Brook University (SUNY) from where I received my Bachelor of Sciences in Applied Mathematics & Statistics with a concentration in Physical Sciences. Throughout my undergraduate career, I was fortunate enough to participate in several research-oriented internships in New York and Maryland. These allowed me to gain invaluable experience and apply my knowledge to real-life applications. In addition, I have experience tutoring fellow classmates in courses such as physics, probability/statistics, and linear algebra; however, my favorite subject to teach is calculus and I've found it to be the most challenging to learn. My philosophy of teaching heavily focuses on practice problems and examples while maintaining a personable, stress-free environment. Outside of the classroom you can find me playing or watching sports, meeting with friends, and listening to music.
Hello, my name is Andrew. I am a currently a Business Management student in New York. I honed my tutoring skills starting from when I was a class tutor for my AP Biology class at my high school where I helped many of my peers attain 4s and 5s on the AP Bio exam. I have pride on being able to balance a busy extracurricular lifestyle as well as a rigorous academic schedule because I know how much value Universities put on a "well-rounded" student. I look forward to hearing more about you!

I'm passionate about science and mathematics, and in particular its application to problems in business and science. Since completing my PhD in applied mathematics and statistics from Stony Brook University, I've been working as a data scientist / analyst in various industries such as marketing, law, staffing, streaming and entertainment, and logistics. I'm well versed in Excel, Python, R, SQL, applied Math and Statistics. During my undergrad and graduate academic career, I've had the opportunity to teach underrepresented students entering college from high school in mathematics, college level calculus courses to undergrads, and led recitations of upper-level courses for graduate students in the mathematical/computational biological sciences. While my career has largely been focused on research and applications of mathematics, I've always had a particular interest in teaching. My passion for these subjects make it easy for me to teach others and to make it fun. When I teach, I always try to make the lessons as interesting as possible, because in addition to teaching the lesson I personally and honestly want to have fun doing it. Outside of work I'm a father of 3, I love coffee and I love to play a game of chess.
My teaching experiences have been defined by a commitment to engaging students in critical thinking, problem solving and a lasting desire for learning. Teaching is the ability to demonstrate a new skill to another person. Both the teacher and students grow in knowledge. Teaching can be joyful, enriching and challenging. Teaching gives me the opportunity to convey important information that can be used regularly or applied in the environment. As a teacher, I hope to build a strong foundation of learning in my students. My primary goal as an educator is to promote a learning environment for students. My role in the classroom or laboratory is to engage, assess and encourage students to participate actively in class, to listen and think critically, to challenge them to ask questions and to motivate growth in them. I focus on creating a classroom environment where all students are included, addressing different learning styles and ensuring all students have accessibility to become successful. I have gained some professional training in science communication class and scientist teaching science course to assist me in effective teaching of students. In addition, my approach to teaching in classroom is through active involvement of all the students. When I was an adjunct assistant professor at the city university in a general chemistry laboratory course, I observed that the students worked effectively when the experiments were being demonstrated before they began the experiments. During the demonstrations, I tried to make sure that each step was properly understood. Engaging the students during class by asking questions gave them the opportunity to participate actively. Students that are active learners learn more when compared to passive students, it is important to include every student in the classroom and laboratory. Also, I took some time to learn all the student's names to encourage full class participation, treating each student as an individual. I want the students to look forward to the next class with high expectations and passion to learn new material. I believe in visual representation, creating a model to make it easier for the student to learn. For example, when discussing Lewis structure (e.g. CH4), I created an actual ball-and-stick model of the methane molecule, so that the students can visually see that the shape of the molecule is tetrahedral and the C-H bonding. Also, encouraging group work in a class or laboratory setting improves leadership skills in the students. Students worked in groups for class assignments, providing them the opportunity to build on leadership and team working skills. I am dedicated to making sure my students are successful in the classroom, and they feel enthusiasm for the subject. In teaching, I hope to instill the passion of learning in my students by sharing my passion in the subject. In the future, I plan to build upon my teaching strategies and skills by attending workshops and taking advantage of chances to teach when possible. It is important to engage the students. Also, incorporating the Bloom's Taxonomy for writing objective, which will show how learning is demonstrated through knowledge, understanding, application, evaluation and synthesis. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I have conducted workshops, seminars and brown-bag lunches to support development for students and my colleagues' covering topics in research and teaching areas. I can teach general, inorganic, analytical chemistry, environmental science and organic chemistry with their labs at both the undergraduate and graduate level. If an online course is suggested, I can create an online course for these courses. In 2015, majority of students are gearing towards online teaching (STS Class 2, page 7). As an online instructor, many students and professional are using online study. I plan to use online digital learning objectives to help the students understand, apply, analyze and evaluate the course material.
I am an experienced multi-subject teacher, who has had the great fortune to have been educated in several countries, and to teach in several countries. I received my education at Manhattan School of Music, Columbia University, the Universitaet Mozarteum, in Salzburg, Austria, University of Virginia, and Oxford. I have taught in the US, UK, Austria and Japan, and lived in all of those countries, plus Iceland, and for a shorter period in both France, and Turkey. My students have ranged in age from kindergarten, to adults, and have spoken many languages. I grew up trilingual, and added quite a few more languages along the way. I have the distinction of being one of the few non-native speakers of fluent Icelandic.I have a passion for learning. every situation is an opportunity to learn, and I enjoy encouraging others in their learning endeavors.In my spare time, I enjoy flying (piloting) aircraft, cooking, especially new ethnic recipes, collecting antiques, and new languages, and traveling to visit old friends, and new places.
Hard work pays off. Over the 5+ years tutoring, I have seen it happen with my students. I can help you perform your best on your math tests, whether it be the SAT or an exam in school.I graduated with a BA in philosophy, was on track to medical school, worked in a corporate setting, and am now a graduate student of theology. I have a very diverse background and a genuine interest in helping people, effectively and efficiently.
Hello, and welcome to my profile!I am Eva Albanese, and I am a recent Spring '19 SUNY Stony Brook University (SBU) graduate - my cumulative GPA was 3.63, and I graduated with the honor of Cum Laude. As a student at SBU, I majored in Psychology - 3.43 was my major GPA - and minored in English - 3.80 was my minor GPA.

I am currently on my gap year before returning to school to get my M.A. in Psychology. I hope I can be of service in your time of need.
I received my Bachelor of Science in Marine Science from the University of South Carolina in 2014. I received my Master of Science in Marine and Atmospheric Science from Stony Brook University in 2016. I have experience as a TA for undergraduate lab sections and experience mentoring undergraduates. I am available to tutor for ecology, environmental science, and microbiology. My favorite subject to tutor is ecology because it is what I do every day at my job. My teaching philosophy is to find a way to convey information that is tailored to how each student learns, since everyone learns differently.Outside of academia, I am a marathon runner and am very passionate about fitness. I also enjoy reading and am teaching myself how to code.
Tutoring, in my opinion, is a collaborative process between student and tutor that aims to not only relay information but also helps in building free-flowing and independent learning skills in the student. In my eight years or so of tutoring, I have seen that even a tutor can grow with the student in the process. This is because relaying information is, of course, a two way street and in that process the student learns the information that he/she wants to and the tutor finds out how best to incorporate information into the tutoring sessions.As a tutor I try to be aware, first and foremost, that different students have different learning styles and needs. What is more important is to try to make tutoring sessions as lively as possible in order to keep the student interested in the subject matter.I do not just treat tutoring as a form of employment, but it is something I love to do. It is my way of giving back to the community what I have received from it. With that said, I vow to share my knowledge and influence my students as positively as I can.
I am a graduate of the Honors program at Indiana University in Bloomington,IN where I focused on music and philosophy. After graduation I spent time in Europe as an employee of the National Theater in Germany. I consider the multicultural experiences I had while living and working in Europe a wonderful supplement to my formal education and it fostered in me an appreciation of diversity.Since returning the to the US I have taught children and adults a variety of subjects and skills in a number of settings. I am thrilled to be partnering with Varsity Tutors to help young people as they work to improve their academic performance in language arts. The ability to express oneself clearly is an invaluable tool throughout life. As a tutor I am most passionate about helping students improve their scores on Critical Reading and Writing portions of standardized tests. As a teacher my greatest joy is seeing a student achieve more then they thought possible. I consider myself a life-long learner who places a high value on education. When I am not teaching or exploring a new subject area I enjoy jogging and exploring outdoors, as well as attending performances of music, dance and theater.
I received my Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from Stony Brook University, and I am currently pursuing my Masters degree in Operations Research at the same institution. While attending SBU, I tutored student athletes in a variety of math courses, ranging from Algebra, to Calculus. My favorite courses to tutor involve probability and statistics, because I love how many layers each question has, and how much you can learn from doing even the simplest problem! When tutoring, I strive to create a calm and relaxed environment that helps students work through problems by drawing conclusions from what they already know. I believe learning is a beautiful thing, and I do my best to help others improve their learning skills!Outside of school, I am a total health nut. I love learning about fitness, nutrition, and other health-related subjects. I am also an avid Ultimate Frisbee player and amateur musician.
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 did my bachelor's degree at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) in math and physics, and got my master's in math from Stony Brook University. I tutor all kinds of math, including more advanced math major-specific courses that you may have struggled to find a tutor for in the past. I think my favorite part of it all is seeing my students come up with cool solutions on their own. I think it's best to learn my doing, so I ask my students a lot of questions in my tutoring sessions. In my spare time I play music (piano mostly), read, and play video games.
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.
Throughout high school I had inspirational teachers that influenced my need to enrich the lives of students. As a graduate from Stony Brook University with a Bachelors Degree in Earth and Space Science for Education, I am confident that I can utilize my knowledge to benefit the learning processes of students of various ages. I believe it is important to relate students academic and extra curricular interests to what I am tutoring, therefore we can focus on the positives! Nothing makes me happier to see a students light bulb go on after struggling with a subject! My goal as a tutor is to engage students throughout the learning process. As a self proclaimed science nerd, I believe that we should ask questions. I will encourage my students to go beyond what they are learning and ask "why" the world is the way it is!It is important to me that not only are my students gaining knowledge from me but I also learn from them. Children are our future. I find I t is imperative that we as educators teach them the fundamentals of science and math so they can grow into the thinkers that change the world!
Teaching is a mutual journey that is entirely decided by the student and led by the teacher. I take full joy in walking alongside the educational journey in helping students to understand and develop into successful mastery and critical thinkers of information. As your tutor, I would be your source of empowerment, guide and coach. Most importantly, I approach tutoring and learning with the firm belief that all students have amazing strengths and talents that can be used to thrive.
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 :)
I have received my Bachelor of Science degree from Stony Brook University in May 2014, graduating with Summa Cum Laude distinction. In college, I have studied biochemistry as a major, philosophy as a minor, and have been an active teaching assistant for general chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and genetics at the University. Throughout these wonderful experiences, I have worked with many students under many different settings and have experience in both one-on-one tutoring and group tutoring. Not only am I diligent in actively engaging my students into the academic material, but I am also experienced in coming up with strategic methods as to how they can improve. I try to look out for the cause of the students’ confusion, and then move on to resolve it by teaching the student the key concepts that are necessary for understanding the material. As of now, I am tutoring Algebra, Algebra 2, Algebra 3/4, Arithmetic, Elementary Math, Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Honors Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Physiology, MCAT Biological Sciences, and MCAT Physical Sciences. Every student deserves the most attention that he or she needs, and I am deeply committed, as well as strongly determined, to help my students excel in these areas.
I am a PhD student studying marine biology at Stony Brook University, where I study how plankton (very small animals in the ocean) move around and catch food. Before coming to graduate school, I did my undergraduate degree in Biology at Tufts University in Medford/Somerville, MA. My hobbies include knitting, running, and, of course, reading!Another one of my long-term interests is education. I worked with preschoolers for a full year in college through an AmeriCorps literacy program in low-income preschools. Later, I worked as a teaching assistant for five semesters (three as an undergraduate, and two as a graduate student), teaching biology, chemistry, and environmental science. Most recently, I worked at a local tutoring center with students ages 7-16, tutoring reading/writing, English, and math. I have also worked with several high school and undergraduate student research volunteers in the lab.My favorite subjects are math and science, but I also love reading, writing, and French! I spent five months living in France during my undergraduate degree, and I speak near-fluent French. I love working with kids and young adults, and I'd be happy to work with you to develop study strategies and learn new things!
I am currently a senior studying Math Education at Stony Brook University. I am certified to teach all levels of secondary mathematics in New York State. I also hold a certification in Special Education. I have previously worked ample hours with students in middle and high schools whose abilities greatly varied.I know that most students do not enjoy mathematics, so it is my goal, as a tutor, to make the subject as fun and relatable to those of all ages. I strive to ensure that my students do not simply memorize the information that is presented to them, but also understand the concepts so that they are able to apply them to other ideas in the classroom.I have always enjoyed doing math for as long as I can remember. I hope to inspire some students by showing them that math can be highly rewarding.
I am a recent graduate from Stony Brook University and have received my Bachelors of Science degree in Biology. Over my undergraduate career I have tutored many different students ranging from grades 4-12 as well as several college classes. I have always loved being able to work with a student or colleague to find the right answer of a difficult question. I tutor math (Calculus, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra) as well as SAT math, English, and science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Biochemistry). I really enjoy tutoring math and English! Math always has an answer to work towards and can be taught using various mediums. English is also a favorite subject of mine as I love to read and write and love reading the works of others. I like to tutor subjects by working through problems with students and practicing problems. Outside of academics, I enjoy hiking and have almost finished half of the Appalachian trail. I also enjoy archery and shoot olympic recurve style.
Hello! I've always believed that learning should feel supportive, inspiring, and even fun. When I was growing up, I didn't always have the guidance I needed at home, and I often wished for a teacher who could really understand me. That's why I'm so passionate about tutoringI want to be that relatable, encouraging teacher for my students, the one who helps them feel seen and capable. I've been lucky to work with students of all ages and backgrounds: adults learning English as a new language, high school students in Ecuador, and elementary and middle school students here in the U.S. I tutor English Language Arts, English as a New/Second Language, and Spanishwith a special love for ENL and Spanish, because I enjoy showing students how language works like a puzzle and watching them light up when it finally clicks. I earned my B.A. in Linguistics from Stony Brook University and my M.A. in Literacy from Touro College, and I've recently completed a program in School District Administration. But more than my degrees, what I bring to tutoring is my belief that every student learns in their own unique way. My style is personal, flexible, and creativeI take time to really get to know you, figure out what's standing in your way, and come up with fun and effective strategies to help you grow. Outside of teaching, I love Latin dance (I even perform and compete in salsa!), and I also have a nerdy side that enjoys video games, puzzles, and Legos. Traveling and trying new things are big parts of my life too. All of these interests remind me that learning doesn't just happen in classroomsit happens everywhere when you're curious and open. If you're looking for a tutor who will meet you where you are, cheer you on, and help you reach your goals in a way that feels comfortable and motivating, I'd be honored to work with you.
I have tutored mainly math-related subjects for K-12 and college students for more than 5 years. I utilize graphs, interesting symbols, and a more user-friendly language to convey complex math concepts according to my students. I also teach conversational Chinese Mandarin. My goal is to let my students learn the subject efficiently and be prepared for exams, such as PSAT, SAT, or GRE, in a rather relaxing environment.
I'm a medical resident. looking to tutor in biology, anatomy, math, and MCAT prep. Teaching is one of my passions, and I have tutored since I was in high school. I continued to tutor while at Stony Brook University where I graduated with a double major in applied math and bioinformatics/computational biology. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I need to stay home for the next few months. I do not want to stop my tutoring so here I am looking to help students virtually! Medical school has made biology my favorite subject to tutor in as I've really nailed in me how to learn and understand a lot of material in a short amount of time. Medical school has taught me many approaches and tactics to making learning more efficient I wish I knew about earlier. I aim to share these methods with my students to make them stand out from the rest.
I'm a student at Stonybrook University working on a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I love working with students ranging from elementary/middle school common core subjects to high school level English and Math. 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 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.
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.
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.
I graduated with my undergraduate degree in Biology, and have recently completed my MD degree as well. I have tutored many students in the basic sciences such as Chemistry,Organic chemistry, Biology,Pharmacology, and Physiology. I have also tutored Medical Students for their 3 part boards Step 1,2 and 3. I have also worked extensively with Bilingual students (primarily Spanish speaking) with all forms of their Homework assignments. Spanish is my second language at home. I am entirely fluent in conversational Spanish and have a college level proficiency in reading and writing. I work with each of my students and help them attain their academic goals by treating them as individuals with individual needs. I always help each student create a study schedule for their individual classes. I have learned as a student myself, and by working with other students, that no one lacks the intelligence to attain their goals, rather planning and making realistic schedules and goals is the primary step in working towards academic success. I am very hands on and review homework, go over questions on assignments, review and help make notes. I am also very easily reached by all of my students via phone and email. I look forward to helping every one of my students individually, and have usually seen anywhere between a 10-20 point increase and higher in my students. I have learned that with the right mentality and help anyone can succeed towards their educational needs. I look forward to working with you.
