...helped students (including medical students doing hospital rotations) succeed in academics. I have improved a lot in my teaching methods and make each session high energy and interactive. Most recently I did a pediatrics internship at UCSF-Fresno, but with my background in the biotechnology industry, I'd like to go back into research.

...It was an immensely rewarding and formative experience, from which I gained the ability to tailor my teaching methods to meet the needs of every individual I worked with and to overcome language and cultural barriers through patience, understanding, and a good sense of humor. While I enjoy teaching the mechanics of Englishwhether as a first language or secondmy true love is Literature. As an undergrad at UCSD I tutored small groups of fellow students...

...In that time I learned a great deal about the craft of teaching. My biggest take away is that every student learns differently and it's imperative to create ways for students to see incremental success so that their confidence grows along with their mastery of the content. Although I am excited to tutor in a wide range of subjects, I myself love to read and write. I have a great time helping students discover a...

...precise logical clarity of math. I also sometimes end up conceptualizing concepts in a different or more fundamental way than I did previously, which leads me to understand the subject more deeply even while I am tutoring it. I try to tutor in a way that involves asking the student questions and leading them to discover the answer/procedure for themselves, so that they understand why they are using certain methods and can apply them to...

...to English and French learning. As a university student I tutored adults and children in English and French, and I have also worked as a full time ESL teacher in Korea for several years. My teaching style is very interactive; I’ve found that students learn best when they can engage with the material through active dialogue, and when they feel that what they’re learning has real world relevance. My interests include reading and outdoor sports,...

...is just a jumble of numbers and an exercise of memorization. I was fortunate enough to be able to view math as a puzzle a series of steps that solves a mystery. As I have continued my studies in math, I have come to believe it is essential as it helps to develop problem solving skills as well as fundamental principles of logic. These skills have helped me through various subjects like statistics and general...

...could wasn't always there. In fact, I had a tutor to help me in the areas where I wasn't so strong in; such as math and chemistry. After several tutoring sessions, I realized that all I needed was a little more depth of understanding of the subject. When I would finally understand the subject matter, I would feel a sense of joy and achievement and was finally able to accept these difficult subjects as a...

I'm currently teaching two after-school classes, one in Pre-Calculus and the other in Biology. I am very comfortable tutoring in Math (up to Pre-Calc), Science (Biology, Physics, Chemistry), Government, Economics, and Essay Composition.

The program is now in its fourth year, and is currently run by my former students. It is also in the process of being made districtwide, not just restricted to my high school. I took all my standardized tests my sophomore year of high school....

...Biopsychology. Growing up, I often turned to tutors for their academic guidance and support, so I can really empathize with students searching for the perfect tutor. My experiences being tutored have allowed me to pinpoint characteristics and skills that make a great tutor, such as patience, breaking down complex concepts, and an ability to cater towards different learning styles. I have been tutoring for seven years, and have loved getting to know each of my...

...them in their learning process. I do this by structuring my lessons around discussions that do not rely only on me just giving them information (unless it is necessary), but instead help them practice the critical thinking that leads them to coming up with solutions themselves. This has proven to be more effective than the "lecture" or "knowledge dump" methods, since students can then use their learning in other subjects and essay prompts. I guide...
