Certified Tutor

I am a PharmD (Doctorate of Pharmacy) candidate at St. Johns University located in Queens, NY. As a future pharmacist, my goal is to make sure every patient knows what medication they are taking and what effects it would have upon them. Before they leave my pharmacy, I would ensure that every pertinent detail about the drug is clearly understood by my patients. In many cases, there is a gap between the patient’s and the pharmacist’s knowledge, because the patient isn’t familiar with sophisticated medical terminology. This is where, I, as the pharmacist, come in by translating complicated terminology into simple language that’s easy for the patient to understand. I have been tutoring ever since I was in the 5th grade, and it has become a major part of my life because I enjoy helping others understand difficult concepts. I think tutoring goes far beyond simply teaching someone how to solve a question; it is built upon a relationship of trust that over time blossoms into a special connection between student and tutor. As a tutor, not only do I want the best for students, but I want to serve as a role model as well. My subjects include English, Reading, Chemistry, Pre-Algebra, Algebra II, Geometry, and Middle School Math and I. My test prep includes the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE), Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT), High School Placement Test (HSPT), SAT Mathematics, and Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT). Aside from tutoring, I love playing basketball, volunteering at my Mosque, and spending time with my friends and meeting new people. Overall, I am grateful to be a part of the Varsity Tutors team and love to contribute my skills to this organization and community.
