...mostly a classroom setting, I had the opportunity to work with students one-on-one, who had diverse learning styles and disabilities. Since working with Varsity Tutors I have truly enjoyed being able to get to know students on a personal level, learn the best method of teaching them, and tailoring lessons to their needs. My overall teaching philosophy is lifelong learning, whether or not I am helping someone with a specific subject or tutoring for test...

...a regenerative and cancer cell biology master's student at Albany Medical College. I choose this program because it focuses on applying biochemistry, biology and chemistry principles to living systems.

Like every other pre-med, I was terrified of that exam and thought that I was not...

...the fusion of chemistry and biology because I was lucky enough to have two incredible high school teachers in those subjects. I wanted to understand how cells talk to one another or take on unique identities within the body. These questions led me to study cell biology at Duke University where I earned a Masters in 2017. My experiences in grad school have caused me to value the clear communication of science, a skill I'm...

...tutoring is a two-way street. While it is important that I answer questions, I also need to ask them to be effective. I love when students have specific questions about the material they are working on because it means they have an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. I want to encourage students to always be able to explain why they picked a certain answer or what steps they took to solve a problem. I...
