...Muskegon Community College with an associates degree in science and I am currently a junior in college, and recently moved to Tampa, FL to attend the University of South Florida. I have been tutoring for over a year now, and I never plan to give it up! As a biomedical science student, my expertise definitely falls into biology, chemistry, and math subjects. I skipped a grade, and somehow, I have always been finding myself helping...

...earlier in my career. I have worked with many types of students, including high school valedictorians and students who have always found school challenging. I taught at a four-year university for eight years but have been a tutor for roughly 12 years. In addition to tutoring, I also advise and mentor students pursuing careers in health sciences, including pre-medical, pre-nursing, pre-physician assistant, and other health-related occupations. In 2012, I graduated Cum Lade with a Bachelor...

...the keys to lifelong learning. Often the journey to academic success is not a solo one, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share what I know in a way that inspires and educates students. My passion for education stems from a desire to become more aware of the world around me and to help others do the same, whether in the form of writing a paper, passing a test or understanding new concepts....

...Masters program at Georgetown University in human physiology. Given the amount of schooling I have gone through myself, I have taken a wide range of subjects and more standardized tests than I would like to admit. I have taught students of almost every age in various fields such as elementary science, Hebrew, chemistry, MCAT prep, and many more.. My ultimate plan is to go to medical school, but in the meantime I try to teach...

...of the Chemistry Society's Tutoring Center, where I helped my fellow classmates with their classes and coursework, primarily with general and organic chemistry. During my time at the Tutoring Center, I found that I really enjoyed helping students understand their studies. I have always had a passion for helping others. In my time with the tutoring center, I earned the "Distinguished Service Award" three times. I really enjoyed learning how to best help each student...

...class. Having a great teacher or tutor won't help if the student does not want to learn and put in the work. However, I truly believe any student can not just succeed, but excel, if they work hard and have the right support system. Aside from tutoring, I love to cook and play Ultimate Frisbee. I also work as an emergency room medical scribe, and I am extremely excited to be attending medical school at...

...in biology lab as an undergraduate. As a TA, I directed lab exercises, ran review sessions and created worksheets and practice problems. As a tutor, I help students learn about their own learning style because not every student learns the same. I think it is important for the student to interact including flash cards, practice problems, diagrams, pictures or other activities that are pertinent to the student and the subject. Although as a tutor it...

...any and every subject. Having struggled in certain courses before, I understand how frustrated students might get if they are struggling to understand something that is not "sticking," and I try to make tutoring more interactive and fun to counteract that. Also, I focus on making sure students truly understand the concepts we are learning, rather than just memorizing facts in the moment. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing badminton, singing, and traveling...

...medicine, completing a one year post-baccalaureate premedical program at Bryn Mawr College. Having personally undergone the transition from a humanities to a science student, I feel passionately that the sciences can be learned by any student, even those for whom it might feel a little more challenging. Working as a tutor for biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and neuroscience, I actively implemented this philosophy, finding creative ways to approach complex concepts. For example, I might...

...individualized and interactive tutoring session. I try to teach students the big picture and how different concepts come together rather than give them one answer to memorize. I use diagrams and pictures to really emphasize the importance of visual learning. As a tutor, I try to figure out why a student does not understand a concept and immediately try to tailor my approach to fulfill that student's needs. I help the student relate science to...

...time traveling and volunteering for social and environmental justice groups and also working various jobs as needed. After the pandemic began, I have turned my focus back to academics and want to embrace education as a tool for combating ignorance and as an opportunity to help others. Because I have had the privilege of time at home, I have spent time reviewing core curriculum and subjects I love. I have been working informally with a...

I am a passionate science educator with experience teaching high school students, college students, and adults. I like to teach by building frameworks of understanding with my students, and make sure to treat each case individually.... Every student is different. Instead of covering everything taught in the class, I prefer to focus on problem areas.... I believe that learning is a personal process, and the role of a good teacher or tutor is to facilitate and...

...a gap year to apply to medical schools and am interested in helping students master the natural sciences, as well as prepare for standardized tests. Being tutored and tutoring has always been a large part of my academic career and I have found it is often an integral part of truly mastering a topic. My tutoring approach takes a hands-on style that lets students work through problems with assistance first, and then on their own....

...sciences, helping students out at all skill levels (elementary through college). Excelling in these studies myself, I guide my students on study skills, tricks and trades to the subject, and how to best tackle difficult problems. I cater to the learning styles of all students and try my best to find the easiest way for us to tackle a challenging subject so that once on your own, you feel confident in your abilities to excel.

...math and science, in addition to SAT and ACT prep. I love tutoring science courses, especially biology, since I always love to learn new things about how the world works and be able to pass on what I learn to students. I know that every student is different and learns differently than their peers, so getting to know students is my top priority when I tutor. Once a student's learning methods are understood, I feel...

...learning styles. My favorite subjects to tutor are those related to Biology such as Microbiology, Ecology, Anatomy and Physiology, Genetics, etc. I have always been curious about figuring out how life works and how ecosystems interact with each other. I particularly find the intersection of microbes with human health (be it good or bad) to be interesting. I also enjoy tutoring Elementary Math and Algebra. My favorite part of tutoring is helping students achieve their...

...undergraduate degrees in Biochemistry and Russian Language & Literature, I have moved to St. Petersburg, Russia, to complete a Fulbright Research Fellowship. In 2021, I will return to the University of Michigan to begin my MD/PhD training. My specialties include helping clients improve their Russian and Chinese, work on comprehensive strategies and material breakdown for the MCAT, as well as develop greater understanding of the sciences. As attentive mentorship is the cornerstone of academic progress,...

...to learn the material, then it’s important to ask why that is, and how to change that mindset—because as “useless” as many students think learning how to, say, calculate an integral or write an essay analyzing Austen is, most of the skills they pick up along the way do serve some purpose later in life, both directly and indirectly. Outside of tutoring and academic pursuits, I am on the debate team and plan on either...
