About Me

I graduated from Bryn Mawr College, where I majored in Biology and concentrated in Public Health. I recently completed the 2015 MCAT and will be applying to medical school this spring. While in college, I interned at a maternity hospital in India, assisted in the development of community health programs in Philadelphia and taught English as a Second Language (ESL) to adult immigrants and students abroad. I also mentored middle school and undergraduate students with science and math courses. I am open to tutoring in a broad range of subjects, including Algebra, Spanish I/II, ESL and Biology (SAT II, AP, and MCAT).My tutoring style is personal and interactive. Learning as a student, I was deeply gratified by the teachers who inspired my interest in science and had the faith to invest in my talents. While teaching my own students, I have enjoyed instilling the same love of learning as well as an attitude to persevere through their own challenges. I acknowledge that every student faces his/her unique obstacles and understand that students learn at varying paces through different strategies. In my tutoring sessions, I go out of my way to get to know students to adapt activities to their learning styles and to help them reach their personal goals. Additionally, I like to make sessions hands-on. Having had an ESL class full of different language speakers, I have become creative at designing a variety of activities and visual aids to communicate concepts from different viewpoints. I have also successfully applied these learning strategies towards tutoring different scientific disciplines and continue to experiment with resourceful ways to make learning a fun, engaging experience.
