Award-Winning Tutors from University at Buffalo

Hi, my name is Eric! I received my Masters in Architecture graduate degree from the University of Buffalo. I have a background in construction, maintenance, and customer service, paired with a strong mechanical aptitude. I have also worked as an administrative assistant.I love connecting with students of all ages and sharing my passion for learning, technology, and education. My experience in the IT field pushed me to develop a great sense of patience and understanding for individuals who might be struggling or frustrated. I find it very rewarding to dig into a problem, provide an explanation, and watch a student or individual get excited or relieved as they have a light bulb go off. My goal is to put students at ease, help them gain comfort with material, and build confidence along the way.

I graduated from Harry S. Truman high school in 2015. I am currently studying Chemistry at the University at Buffalo, where I am planning to obtain a Bachelor’s of Science in Chemistry. I am fairly experienced working with grade school and high school students in their math and science classes.When I was in those grades, I would assist the teacher by tutoring their students who are struggling in the class, whether that's just help with their homework or and extensive review of the material we learned in class. I also helped many of my peers prepare for the New York Regents exams. I helped them prepare for the Chemistry, Trigonometry, Geometry, and Algebra Regents. These along with basic math and science concepts are my favorite to help students because these are the subjects I excel at. These subjects interest me the most and I hope to use these subjects in my future field of work.I can teach in many ways and will always adjust my style to fit the students needs. I do tend to teach in way that allows the student to learn their own process of thinking while using me a resource if they are having trouble. I like to do this by facilitating the student through practice problems without giving any real answers. This allows the student to understand the material as well as build their confidence to tackle a problem all on their own.Outside of school, I like to do many to unwind such as go for a run or some form of exercise. I enjoy drawing, reading, and even video games. I always like to learn about new hobbies to keep me from ever being bored.

Hi, I'm Sara. I would love the opportunity to help you with your learning experience.I am an attorney, licensed to practice law in the state of Ohio and Kentucky. Soon after becoming licensed to practice law in Ohio, I began instructing students on how to perform well on the Law School Admissions test. I know the strategies and techniques that will help you perform well on that exam, or any other.Prior to law school, I studied philosophy. It's a passion of mine: helping us understand how to think and how the world is constructed around us.In addition to practicing law, I am a Certified Yoga Instructor, Level 1 Crossfit Trainer, and personal trainer. I love helping people feel strong mentally, and physically. That is why I tutor and train.I am full of enthusiasm and patience, and will not hesitate to play a song when things look daunting, and try to make you dance to it:)We've got this! Let's get to work.

Greetings parents and students, thank you for visiting my page. I am a Chinese American, who finished my K-12 education in China. Under the Chinese education system, I have a very strong fundamental knowledge of math and science. I learned college level general Physics in grade 8, general Chemistry in grade 9, and college Calculus in grade 10. So if you need any help in these subjects, you are in good hands.I have years of tutoring experience and am friendly, patient and good at explaining things. When you come to me for help in your studies, I am not here as your tutor, I am here as your friend, you'll have all my patience and devotion in helping you do well in your test and develop interest in the subject.Talk to me about any problem you encounter, feel free to let me know your challenges, and I will do my best to turn those challenges into your best areas.

I am an Honor's College graduate of the University at Buffalo where I received a dual Bachelor's of Arts degree in Biological Sciences and Anthropology. During undergraduate studies, I worked as a tutor for the university's athletics department. I tutored 10-15 students twice a week in subjects varying from Biology (Evolutionary, Cellular, Microbiology), to Anatomy & Physiology to Psychology. I am currently studying for my Medical School Admissions exam, which requires me to master all of the information covered in the above listed classes. Working with so many students from different backgrounds and learning styles was challenging but rewarding. I have garnered an arsenal of teaching techniques which allows me to individualize the way I present course material to each of my students. I find that life science classes are my favorite to teach because their applicability to the real world makes for fun and interesting tutoring sessions. In my spare time, I am an advocate for social justice. I have founded two non-profits at my university; one which focuses on implementing public health infrastructure in low-income countries and one that focuses on building schools with the hopes of creating access to free quality education in rural areas of developing nations. Additionally, I work as lifeguard, swim instructor, and swim coach at my local recreation facility.

I love tutoring Latin, Greek, and English. I strive to be attentive to how my students express themselves and always aim to present material in a way that is in sync with how they learn. This has allowed students I've worked with to feel comfortable opening up about their interests and frustrations with me so that I can make a subject more relevant to them and create more motivation to learn. I always try to gear the way I teach to my students' learning styles and make them feel less self-conscious and more confident about making mistakes and explaining their thought process. I am good at convincing my students that they will see more rewards from their persistence. I have worked with several students who were scoring in the seventies on tests and quizzes when I started working with them who then began to see dramatic results with scores in the nineties in a fairly short time.I make use of various tools like mnemonic devices and English word derivatives to make vocabulary and form-memorization easier. I also have students draw charts showing the patterns and similarities among various noun and verb endings they need to know so they can truly master these fundamentals of the language.Though I went on to earn a degree in Latin and Greek literature in college, I really think my passionate interest in this subject was nurtured and allowed to thrive because of the extremely solid foundation I received in Latin grammar from one outstanding high school teacher. I hope to emulate his outstanding teaching ability and allow others to succeed the way he allowed me.I've tutored students in Latin and Greek for over 10 years. I received a perfect score on the National Latin Exam and Latin SAT II and am familiar with preparing students for these exams, as well as for AP Latin.Some highlights of my educational and teaching background are that I've graduated from Reginald Foster's demanding program in Rome for the practice of oral Latin and daily sight reading and obtained my B.A. with honors in Greek and Latin literature. I also did post-graduate training with Dr. Stephen Daitz, the foremost scholar on the classical pronunciation of ancient Greek and Latin. I received an award for being the highest ranking student in Greek and Latin Literature in my college's classics department. I am a former member of the American Classical League and have attended some of their national conferences and seminars on the teaching of Latin. I also have experience creating educational materials for intermediate students of Latin online for a website that publishes full length texts in foreign languages and uses editors to write different types of explanatory material and educational glosses to aid students' reading.I look forward to helping you meet your specific goals.

Hello! My name is Emily, I received my PhD from UNC Chapel Hill in the pharmaceutical sciences division of pharmacoengineering. My undergraduate degree was in cell and molecular biology. My dissertation project was focused on biomaterials, bioinformatics, and molecular biology, so I have a passion for teaching biology in a way that makes it relevant for every day life. I'm currently an R&D scientist at a small company in the research triangle.

I graduated from the University of Buffalo with a Bachelor's in Social Interdisciplinary Sciences/Psychology and a Master's in Early Childhood/Childhood Education. I am a motivated and personable person with a positive track record for punctuality and attendance. I have experience working with both children and adults. I currently teach middle school math and science.

To me, teaching provides an opportunity to motivate students to like the subject and to improve their performance through mentoring/advising. This is what inspired me to choose teaching as a career. What a nobler mission than being part of sustaining knowledge from one generation to the next!?I am a graduate of Alexandria University, with a B.Sc. in Nuclear Engineering. In addition, I received a Ph.D. degree from University at Buffalo, Chemical and Biological Engineering Department, in 2015. During that time, I have been working as a teaching assistant and a co-instructor for both undergrad and graduate students, for a broad range of subjects; including: applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, and programming. In addition, as a part-time, I have been a private tutor for middle- and high-school students for over 5 years.Although I can tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about teaching: Calculus, Algebra, Linear Algebra, Physics, and Mechanics for all ages and to all levels.In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, and tutoring my kids!

As a medical student and previous AP Chemistry teacher, I have had the privilege of teaching and mentoring students in the sciences, helping them build a strong foundation in subjects like biology, chemistry, algebra, and neuroscience for over 8 years. I earned a B.S. in Biology and a B.A. in Psychology before completing an M.S. in Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. My favorite subject to tutor is neuroscience because it merges my passion for medicine and the sciences with my goal of becoming a pediatric neurosurgeon. My teaching philosophy focuses on making complex topics more approachable, emphasizing understanding over memorization, and tailoring my approach to each student's learning style. I strive to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident tackling challenging material. Outside of academia, I enjoy staying active via lifting, and mentoring aspiring medical students within NYC.

Hello! I am a current first year medical student at the Jacobs School of Medicine at the University at Buffalo. I have taught individuals from ages 5 to adult and have experience with one-on-one, small group, and classroom-style pedagogies. I look forward to helping you or your child learn!

In addition to receiving a B.A. in English from the University at Buffalo, I am a graduate of Deep Springs College: an elite liberal arts program located in Eastern California. Unlike most schools, the admission process to Deep Springs involves writing - and later defending before a panel of staff, faculty and students - seven essays on a variety of subjects including literature, philosophy, and education. Once admitted to Deep Springs, students are typically required to read upwards of 100 pages per day from authors such as Hegel, Joyce, and Thucydides; and to write several essays per week, which are peer-critiqued in seminar classes. I plan to bring my depth of experience in reading, critical analysis, and writing to each tutoring session in order to help students achieve their goals in these areas.

I want to provide students with a rich learning experience by providing them the opportunity to freely experience themselves without judgement and the chance to see practical real world applications of math!

I graduated at SUNY Buffalo with a PharmD in 2015 and I am licensed to practice pharmacy in the state of New York. Subjects that I am the most comfortable teaching are math (up to Algebra 2), science (Biology, Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics, etc), and certain languages (Korean, Japanese, French) at the beginner level. While dabbling in a few "teaching" experiences (teaching assistant for a course, Paint Nite instructor) I found that I do best in a 1-on-1 setting which tutoring fits the bill. My teaching style is incredibly laid-back and my end-goal is making sure that one is comfortable with me and also with learning the material.In my free time I like to knit, cook, draw/paint, as well as being an avid Redditor. My dream in life is to travel around the world and experience the culture (mostly the food) of different countries. I also am currently in the works to become a medical interpreter, combining the knowledge acquired from my degree with my passion for languages.

I have been cultivating expertise in teaching since my high school education. My experience has included both formal teaching duties and informal conveyance of my knowledge and experience to my peers and juniors. The first time I had a notable teaching experience was when I taught the International Physics Olympiads Prep Team at a private high school for four semesters, during my junior and senior college education. I successfully designed a study curriculum, led a team of tutors in Physics, Math and Computational Science Olympiads and taught many gifted students. The year I moved to the States for my post-graduate career, I was happy to hear news of two of my students receiving medals in the National Olympiad.In the U.S., I designed and taught Precalculus, AP Calculus and SAT Math Prep courses in a private high school in New Jersey. Many of my students got scholarships from major U.S. universities. One of themeven got a perfect score in SAT Math the following year and enrolled in Duke University.Until I recently received my Ph.D., I continued to be involved in teaching activities as lecturing and tutoring college students for more than five years. I taught and lectured many different laboratory courses and lecture sessions such as Physics I: Mechanics, Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism, Mechanics Laboratory, Electricity and Magnetism Laboratory, Optics Laboratory, Modern Physics Laboratory and Quantum Physics.As of now, I have been teaching, formally and informally, for more than 13 years. Throughout my teaching life, I received outstanding evaluations from my students, in oral and written form. I believe my achievement as a teacher is a consequence of my enthusiasm about teaching and my teaching philosophy; that is to care for and respect the students and the topic to be taught.

Undergraduate student with a passion for learning and teaching. I have come to understand the importance of tutoring from the tutors I have worked with and want to share that experience with others. Furthermore, I believe I become more successful the more I help others to become successful.

My passion is making math and science visual and applicable. I want to bring my experience from being a college professor to students as a tutor.

I am an astute, highly motivated, and goal-oriented individual with successful experiences in both academia and athletics. I am also an effective communicator, who is very much excited to pass down my knowledge to students.

I began tutoring when I was a college sophomore, as a way to reinforce my own coursework. I quickly realized what an enjoyable and rewarding experience being a tutor can be, and I have tried to include teaching in my weekly routine ever since. I believe that every student has the capacity to fully grasp any subject that they put their mind to, and it is the job of the tutor to discover the right way to frame and phrase the material at hand so that it can stick. Each student represents a unique challenge, and every improvement is an accomplishment shared between the tutor and the student. I truly enjoy helping others in their studies, and I appreciate the opportunity to improve my own understanding at the same time.I graduated from the State University of New York at Buffalo with a BS in both Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, and most of my experience has come from tutoring other students at the same school. My favorite topics to teach have been college-level math and science courses, as well as beginning engineering courses. I like to continually reinforce the fundamentals that I have used in higher-level courses and in industry, and I enjoy discussing the applications of those fundamentals with students who may not have seen them before. I have also spent some time tutoring middle and high school math and science, and that has been a rewarding experience as well..

I love education. I received a B.A. in psychology as well as a B.A. in sociology at the University at Buffalo. I get so much pleasure and satisfaction from teaching and watching my students grow academically. Right now, I teach kindergarten, but I have taught preschool through Third grade and have also worked with middle and high school children. I also was a teaching assistant at the college level in Psychology and sociology. Phonics, reading, English, language arts, psychology and sociology are my specialties, however, I enjoy teaching any subject. Outside of the classroom, I love to go to the movies, enjoy live theater, read a good book, write, travel, or anything involving the arts. I look forward to helping you or your student reach their education goals!

My goal is to inspire students to strive for greatness at all levels of their lives. Whether that's simply for one assignment or an entire course, I will be there guiding them along with whatever difficulties lie ahead. At the same time, I hope that each student will allow me the opportunity to better improve myself as both an educator and as a person. I strive for perfection in everything I do, so I am always seeking to improve myself. At the end of the day, I will always take the time to assist each person that comes to me to the best of my abilities, and hopefully being tutored by me will be an enjoyable experience for each student.

I am a hard worker and a passionate person. I have always believed that we all need help sometimes and there is no greater feeling than having an eureka moment after a friend or tutor helps you understand a confusing subject.I am here to solve complex problems with simple solutions.

I am a high school English teacher in South Florida. I love working with students to see the light bulb go off when they finally get the concept we are learning. I hope to help you do the same!

My teaching experience has reinforced my love for education. I enjoy challenging my students, discovering their hidden talents, and I appreciate the hard work they do. I strive to teach the whole child.Over the past several tears, I have realized that my calling in life is teaching. I have learned that when students construct their own learning experiences they are more confident in themselves and retain information for a longer time. Incorporating new technologies, such as tablets and smart boards have become a cornerstone of 21st century education. The use of these tools better allow students to share, explore, and create their own learning experiences. In addition, gives the help and support to those that truly need it.On a more personal note, I enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy novels, listening and playing music on the guitar. When I'm not doing any of those things I am coaching wrestling or playing RPG video games like Skyrim, and Oblivion.

I am a college graduate with a Bachelors of Science in Aerospace Engineering. During my four and a half years of undergraduate education at the University at Buffalo, I tutored students at a math learning center on campus. Before starting, I took a tutoring certification course with Crossroads of Learning. Since then, I have tutored in both one-on-one and group settings. I have tutored many subjects in mathematics including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. I am very passionate about learning, and believe that each student is capable of learning any subject that they desire to learn. Because I love learning so much, I enjoy being able to be a part of the process for students that happen to struggle in certain subjects. I understand that every student has a different learning style. I try to discover what methods work best for each student I tutor, and I tailor my teaching style to that particular student's needs. In addition to mathematics and puzzles, music is a large part of my life. In my free time, I write music. I play the guitar and banjo, as well as read and write poetry. Since graduating, I have been working as an intern at a recording studio in Manhattan. While there, I learn about the very intricate arts of recording and mixing.

I am a graduate of the University at Buffalo. I received a Master of Arts in Biology. While obtaining my degree, I created and ran my own internet website businesses. I also worked as a dental assistant in hopes of one day becoming a dentist. I love helping people and making them smile, especially if they are having a difficult time learning a specific concept or idea. My friends and family always come to me for help with science and math problems because I'm patient, fun, funny, understanding, and know how to explain topics in a wide variety of ways.My teaching style is unique. I first listen to my students and learn how they like to learn, and memorize new techniques and skills. After learning about my students, I devise strategies to best fit their study habits. I relate problems to what they like (always trying to make learning fun). I give students pointers on how to learn and thrive in an academic setting.Besides science and math I love sports, music (especially the drums), and cooking. I love all professional sports including football, hockey, basketball, and baseball. I play racquetball once a week and go to the gym daily. I've played the drums and percussion my whole life, and I love cooking for my friends and family.

I graduated from University at Buffalo with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences. Even though, I graduated with a science degree, I had a fond love for mathematics and took Calculus I, Calculus II, and Calculus III. After college, I wanted to travel the world while teaching students and changing their lives for the better. Thus, I got my certification in teaching. Furthermore, I decided to go to Thailand and teach kids Math and English. It was an amazing experience because it taught me that teachers can change the lives of their students by giving them the attention they need. My kids taught me as much as I taught them. I believe that learning from your students doesn't make you a good teacher but a great one.I am currently tutoring kids in SAT Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra II, and Pre-Calculus. I have a great deal of teaching experience.I have a great understanding of Math because I have taken up to Calculus III in college. Also, I am a certified teacher. I know how to make lesson plans and be prepared to teach.I have spend the last 5 years studying Biology. In college, I did some extensive research with breast cancer cells. It made me more knowledgeable.Please feel free to contact me if you want to know more or if you are interested. Thank you.

I am going into my third year as Biology student at the University at Buffalo. Once I graduate I intend on pursuing a career in teaching. I enjoy working with kids and would love to have the opportunity to help someone improve on a subject they may be struggling in.

I recently graduated from the University at Buffalo with a BS in Business Administration. My junior and senior year of college I worked as a tutor and primarily taught college level macroeconomics, microeconomics and statistics. I have worked with over 40 students and have learned that each student needs to work at their own pace and take a different approach to our sessions. I incorporate study skills and test taking stechniques into y tutoring sessions because it is important that students can use these skills in other subjects as well. I know that I have done my job when a student calls me at the end of semester excited to tell me how well their final exam went. If you or your child needs help with economics, math or general study skills to keep the material fresh this summer I would be glad to work with you.

Hello,I am graduate in Computer Science from University at Buffalo (SUNY). I have always had interest and passion to study Maths and Science since secondary school. I received Letter of Appreciation in English course in 9th standard and stood among top 10% in International Mathematics Olympiad in high school, and received Academic Scholarship for two years for excellent performance in academics after 10th grade. I used to teach Maths, Science and Computer Science during school and had been tutoring since then.My subjects are Mathematics, Computer Science (Data Structures, Algorithms, Programming Languages), Physics, Chemistry, General Science and English (Reading Writing, Comprehension). I have tutored on a range of topics, including Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Trigonometry, Probability, Problem Solving, Data Structures, Algorithms, C/C++, Java, Matlab, General Computer Science fundamentals and more. Further interests in Physics include Dynamics, Mechanics, Relativity and Theoretical Physics.I like to follow a step by step approach while tutoring, moving steadily and thoroughly over the topics. My aim is to make you ready to give the test. I urge you to ask as many questions you have in mind and learn and gain from my knowledge and experience. My motto is to give as much I can and yours should be to gain as much you can.Looking forward to work with you!

Hi! I am a currently employed teacher within the NYCDOE. I co-teach Algebra 1, Algebra 2/Trigonometry and Living Environment. I am a firm believer that all students can learn and that the key lies in finding the correct motivation. I am able to balance rigor with the appropriate amount of fun to ensure that steady progress is made. I look forward to working with you and your student in order to help them be successful in their academic endeavors.

I am a former Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Johnson C. Smith University. I have over thirty years experience teaching General Chemistry, Analytical (qualitative, quantitative and instrumentation), and Physical Chemistry (thermodynamics and quantum .) Expertise in nanochemistry and surface chemistry. I am a very good at understanding where your conceptual understanding is leading you astray. I am excellent at providing stategies for solving problems.

I am a Ph.D. student at the University at Buffalo, studying English literature. My research is in nineteenth and twentieth-century, American literature, and my teaching experience is mostly in English composition and writing, in particular essay writing, making arguments, conducting humanities research, as well as providing solid instruction in writing mechanics and grammar. I have tutored and consulted writers for seven years, and I have taught writing for five.

During college, I always enjoyed working with fellow students in learning material because often each person had a different perspective on certain concepts and this allowed me to view things differently which I always found quite helpful during school. As I moved to graduate school I took on teaching assistant roles in various courses. I found that working through problems with students was a very rewarding part of my graduate studies. This enjoyment lead me to pursue academics and I have been a tenured associate professor for almost 6 years teaching mostly in the Department of Chemistry at my College. I have taught various disciplines of chemistry including health professions related chemistry, general chemistry, upper level quantitative chemistry as well as the associated laboratory materials found in these courses. I look forward to sharing my knowledge in these subjects and hope I can provide you with the right guidance to excel in you studies.

Mathematics was a subject that I had struggled with during my primary and secondary education. I know how frustrating math can be, but with little encouragement and help, anyone can succeed in math.Even though my struggles with math through out the high school years, today Im a certified math teacher and tutor math. I have over 7 years of experience and I love every second of it.I specialize in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I & 2, Geometry and Test Prep (SAT and ACT Math). Every student has different needs and abilities. After assessing each student, (how they learn, what are their needs and abilities), I customize each lessons to address students needs and to build his/her confidence.

I am currently a graduate student at the University at Buffalo working on my PhD in mathematics. Before this, I obtained my master's degree from the College at Brockport, at which I spent the following two semesters teaching math courses to college students. While at the College at Brockport I spent three semesters as a math tutor in their Student Learning Center, as part of a graduate assistantship, tutoring courses such as Algebra,Precalculus, Single Variable Calculus, Multi-Variable Calculus, Statistics, and various other courses. I have also tutored students at the University at Buffalo as part of a teaching assistantship. My favorite subjects to tutor are calculus, trigonometry, and algebra. I've taught calculus courses at the college level multiple times, and I thoroughly enjoyed it each time.I believe that understanding how students learn mathematics is essential to teaching and tutoring mathematics. There are many different forms of teaching. I feel that I'm a great tutor because I try to understand how each student learns and then shape my instruction in such a way that will promote that student's understanding. I am always looking for new strategies to help captivate the interest of the students I instruct and tutor in order to help better foster learning. Learning mathematics is a process that requires active involvement, both from the tutor and the student. I continually strive to help all students reach their full potential.

I'm a student just like you! I'm finishing up my Bachelors of Arts in Psychology at University at Buffalo. My passions are music, books, and traveling. I have a lot of experience studying Psychology, Spanish, Criminal Justice, English, and taking AP classes in high school like AP European History, AP English Language, and AP American History. The classes I'm most passionate in are political science classes, and Psychology. I'm super excited to work with new students! My tutoring style is very flexible. I prefer talking through the problems a student is facing to make sure the student can learn as much as possible! I have the most experience working with students in grades 4-10, but I will happily work with students of any age. I have experience teaching over Zoom from teaching internships, done over the COVID-19 pandemic.

I am a hard-working person who will instill a fun and interactive class that develops into a very comfortable learning environment. Feel free to reach out, as I am glad to help.

People always ask me why I chose to become a teacher. The truth is that I always knew. Ever since I was a little girl, my mother would always find me with all my toys lined up in front of me, and me in front of a chalkboard teaching them how to draw.There is really nothing like teaching. I think it is the most gratifying profession in the world. I absolutely love the outcome of what I do because I believe in long lasting relationships and long lasting thirst for knowledge. That is exactly what I teach my students. I teach them that the sky is the limit and that "I can't" should not be a part of their vocabulary. I am great at seeing the potential in everyone and not giving up until they see it too and live up to it.For the past 7 years, I have been a part of a wonderful community while working as a High School I.B. Art Teacher for the American School of Quito in Ecuador. I worked with 11th and 12th graders on the production of high quality art production, careful planning, reflection and written critical analysis with creative problem solving skills. This job has brought enormous opportunities for professional and personal growth. Being part of this demanding program has been very challenging but also filled with rewards. Making students' faces light up when their hard efforts pay off and they finally "get it", is priceless!My I.B. annual scores have always been above world average. My students have participated in national and international art contests with magnificent results with prizes and awards. I have formed an amazing bond with them that, I am sure, will last a lifetime. I still have students who I taught 7 years ago, tell me that what I taught them has stayed with them all these years. And like I said, that is what teaching is all about. That is why I became a teacher.I have good conflict resolution skills, I am patient, I am fair and I have enthusiastic energy. I believe I am qualified for a teaching job within your community and I will make a valuable addition to your team.

As a tutor, I am a well of diversity; academically, as an experienced educator from two distinct educational systems first with the British system back in Ghana and presently American system, I come with innovative and fresh approach to learning which will be of a great value to share with my tutees. Besides, I come from humble beginnings, which helped mold me into a steadfast, goal oriented and highly adaptive without losing my identity. These qualities fostered a driving force that saw me through GED, college, Post baccalaureate and currently medical school. My life purpose is that of labor of love, to give back to communities that are in dire need for affordable healthcare and health education. It was this passion that made me become an ambassador for Mentoring in Medicines Community health program where I was able to partner up with equally passionate health care providers to educate impoverished communities about safer healthier lifestyle. I strongly believe when it comes to health; Preventive measures are always a better alternative health care we can offer ourselves.As an AmeriCorps National Service alumni, I had the unique opportunity to provide health education on a broader scale to varying communities. I was able to combine my love for teaching and medicine to engineer emergency relief campaigns to provide immediate aid to victims of hurricanes. I also had the single honor to work with Project Reach Youths high school students who were mostly from battered homes. Once again, my past experience with abuse and openness to share made me a trusting companion for my students to open up to and so I was able to break barriers and was able to help them academically as well as emotionally.Nothing happens by accident as far as I am concerned.I am woman with a life purpose driven by love, compassion, optimism, patience and determination. I learnt from my experiences that it takes more than smarts and desire to venture into any academic path. I have endured countless rejections, setbacks, disappointments but I have also met great pioneers and motivators who have urged me to push forward. I am also honored to report that I am trendsetter in my family; The first to earn a Bachelors degree and also the very first of my entire family to receive any graduate level education let alone a medical profession. Now, we have two college graduates in my immediate family; my younger brother and me.In summary, my vision in life is very simple; to inspire hope in hopeless situations and I ultimately want to be that positive change I want to see in this world. Hopefully, do it with some class, humor and dignity.
