Award-Winning Tutors from Drexel University

I firmly believe that learning should be enjoyable for students. At times, it will be challenging and boring, but the overall process ought to be somewhat exciting and satisfying. Not all educators have the ability to create an enjoyable learning environment this could be due to large class sizes, limited class time, lack of resources, or inadequate training. As a tutor, I use the unique opportunities of one-on-one and small group sessions to form personal connections with students, in an effort to discover what sort of experience they need to enjoy learning the material. I think that students need to be comfortable in their learning environment so they can make mistakes and ask for help, when necessary. I tutor primarily biology and chemistry at the high school and undergraduate levels, as well as admissions exams, such as the ACT, the GRE, and the MCAT. My true passion is at the interface of biology and chemistry in the areas of biochemistry and molecular biology. I find it fascinating to learn about how fundamental concepts of chemistry allow biological organisms to function effectively. During my undergraduate career, I worked as a teaching assistant in a lower-level animal anatomy and physiology course and in an upper-level biochemistry course. Furthermore, I have mentored underclassmen by helping them through courses that I took in previous years. I have earned a B.S. in Molecular Biology from Messiah College and I am working towards a Ph.D. in Biochemistry at Drexel University. When I am not lost in the world of academia, I enjoy spending time in nature, reading science-fiction books, and cooking plant-based foods.

Hello! I am a medical doctor that has an incredible passion for teaching. I graduated from the University of Maryland College Park with a major in Neurobiology & Physiology with a minor in Human Development. I believe interactive learning is the best form of retaining knowledge but I am also able to cater to many learning styles. Helping people understand complex subjects with fun memorizing skills is the best part of teaching!

"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it." This quote by College Football Hall of Famer Lou Holtz details the aspects to accomplishing a task. My personal belief is that these 3 components also apply to studying, and the mastery of every one is the key to academic success.I strive to achieve these three factors in my own life as well as helping others realize their potential through mastering ability, motivation, and attitude.

I am a 5th year Physics Major with a minor in Mathematics, who loves to tutor! If you want a tutor for math or physics who puts a strong emphasis on conceptual understanding, and efficient problem solving methods, I'm the tutor for you.My teaching expertise is in all levels of math up through and including Multivariable Calculus, although I have learned everything through and including Partial Differential Equations. My Physics expertise is up through and including freshman year university physics, and advanced undergraduate Thermodynamics, although I have finished the core curriculum for fulfillment of the major.My research has been published at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and my ongoing projects at Drexel University are in relation to the biophysics of Sickle Cell Anemeia. In addition, I have built a microfluidic spectrophotometer out of an inverted microscope and box of scrap laboratory metal to read in blood samples' oxygenation content.I can explain the concepts, help you through problems, do examples for you, and help you through notational and mathematical misconceptions. Physics and Mathematics are the language of the universe, and I can't wait to help you unlock the keys to your potential!

I recently graduated from Drexel University in June 2014 with a Bachelor's of Arts in English and a Bachelor's of Science in Nutrition and Food Sciences. Teaching was a core value reflected in the curriculum for both of my undergraduate majors. As a nutrition major, I was afforded the opportunity to teach nutrition education classes in underserved neighborhoods and elementary schools. As an English major, I took pride in helping fellow students and aspiring writers to refine their thoughts and ideas in essays and creative compositions alike. In my current position as a laboratory technician in a university setting, I work directly with students in a lab setting on a daily basis. I have worked as a teaching assistant for university-level microbiology courses and I also have expansive experience in writing, literary analysis, and reading comprehension, as I have composed original research in English literature, peer reviewed many of my colleagues' papers, and have served as an editorial intern for a published literary journal and as a weekly arts journalist for a local online publication.Since graduating from college and starting my primary occupation as a lab technician, I found that I have less opportunities to help students and to improve their writing and analytical reading skills, which is a profound passion of mine. Tutoring students in English literature and composition enables me to keep doing something that I love to do. In my spare time, I also enjoy painting, learning computer programming, baking, and reading anything and everything that I can.

I have experience with working with high school and community college student on both coasts. I worked with Johns Hopkins for Center for Talented Youth at the Princeton University field site as a TA for their Science, Technology, and Public Policy. I found I really enjoy teaching high school students.As an instructor, I am interested in a hands-off, yet present in the middle of the process approach. For writing, this means I don't write your paper for you, and you are the first one to edit your papers. I want to teach you how to approach your writing and editing, rather than doing it for you.If you are a high school student looking to go to college and want to blow away the admissions committee, start NOW on developing your writing skills. Writing is a fundamental skill wherever you think of going professionally.My degrees are in interdisciplinary social science and can help with tackling anthropology and sociology.

I am a scientist who conducts neuro-immunology and HIV/AIDS research! I have a B.S. in neuroscience and a PhD in cellular/molecular biology & genetics. I've worked as a science tutor and educator for over 6 years, working with students ranging from high school through advanced graduate & medical school programs. I have a passion for science education and making science accessible to people of all backgrounds and experiences. My specialty is breaking down complex and confusing topics into ideas that are easier to understand. Whether science is your weak subject and you need help actually understanding the basics, or you are well on your way towards a science career and need assistance with advanced topics, I'm here to help!

I have spent a huge portion of my life in education, both pursuing it and dispensing it. I have a B.S. in Environmental Science from Drexel University, and a M.S. in Environmental Science from Stockton University. I first started working as a tutor in 2012, when I tutored students in writing at Drexel, and went on to work as a tutor in a wider variety of subjects - environmental science, biology, writing, European and U.S. History, and other social studies courses- for students ranging from middle school through college. I am currently working as a lab instructor at Temple University, where I teach both underclass and upperclass biology courses.I aim to make learning fun and take pride in engaging my students on the topic of the day, even when it's something they may not be as passionate about. I work hard to engage my students, and try to approach the material from an angle that will draw them in. I am comfortable in group settings, or one-on-one, either in person or virtually, and like to tailor my sessions to the individual needs of the student - whether they need help understanding the material, with strategies for studying, or even just with motivation. I have a good deal of experience working with students who are studying for the AP exams, and have many strategies for studying for them (especially for those students who don't like to study!).

My philosophy for teaching is strongly supported by my belief that all students deserve access to quality education. Not all students come from the same background, thus I strive to create an all accepting classroom environment that meets each students' specific needs. I make sure to meet all my students where they are, whatever level that may be, and help build them up to surpass their expectations and achieve their goals.I prefer to have a wide net of teaching methods geared towards addressing different learning styles, because I feel it is important to design my methods in a way that collectively supports my students' distinct learning processes. My goal is to provide students with the opportunity to learn in the way that fits best for them. I believe students should be able to learn in a stress-free environment and at a pace that does not impose unnecessary pressure on their learning process.Through my extended experience as an educator, I have always made it a personal goal to make the learning process for my students enjoyable and engaging. I am a very quirky, positive, and outgoing person which translates over to how I connect with my students. It is of utmost importance to me that my students smile and laugh in my classroom and genuinely want to come to class. I will always go above and beyond for my students, as it is my passion to ensure that they all have a progressive educational experience that leads them on toward future success.

Hey! I bet I can help you. I am generally laid back in my approach to teaching and strongly believe that EVERYONE can succeed in math and science. The nice thing about these subjects is that there is a right answer and there is always a way to get to it.About my styleI love when students have questions. It will help me to help you. I remember hating when my teachers didn't take the time in class to explain the answers to my questions and I promise that whether you want the long or short answer I will give it to you or research it until I can. If you decide to set up sessions with me, it will be a discussion and an interactive learning process (you get lectured enough in class). When solving problems, I like to guide students to the answer without giving it to them; I have always found this to be the best way to learn. I can also provide full solutions when it comes time to study for that big test.My backgroundI am a graduating senior completing both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in the accelerated Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics program at Drexel University. In addition, I have completed all of the pre-medicine coursework requirements. I am a member of the Pennoni Honors College and an officer in Pi Tau Sigma, the International Mechanical Engineering Honor Society. Upon graduation, I will begin my Ph.D. in the same field, also at Drexel. My area of focus is biomechanics and I have worked in industry for a year designing orthopaedic implants and surgical tools, I have done undegraduate research in tissue engineering, and I am in the process of designing a new total ankle replacement for my Master's thesis.

Hi! My name is Erin. I graduated first in my class from Drexel University in 2011 with a BS in Mathematics. I'd love to help you with whatever topic in math is frustrating you!

I'm a junior at Drexel University, dual-majoring in Management Information Systems and Business Analytics. I graduated from one of the best public high schools in America, Central High School, with a Bachelor of Arts (CHS is the only school in the nation that has the ability to confer academic degrees). While in high school, I tutored English Literature to newly immigrated college students. Additionally, I received an I.B. diploma after completing the 2-year program, studied abroad in Singapore at Nanyang Technological University as a college Sophomore, speak Fluent Russian, and have taken a broad range of subjects including: Statistics, History of Capitalism, History of Science, Astronomy, Intercultural Behavior, etc. I think learning is a life-long experience that should extend beyond the classroom. Therefore, I am a big proponent of holistic education and critical thinking so students can have the tools they need when they face the world. Although I love learning from every subject, I have a particular fondness for English and History.

As an aspiring doctor, I enjoy helping other students understand the applicability of biology within the field of medicine. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelors degree in Biology. Currently, I am pursuing a Masters degree to further my scientific education and will be starting medical school in the Fall. Outside of the classroom, I have worked in a reproductive biology lab as well as volunteered in multiple hospital clinics and hope to apply my personal and professional experiences to enhance the academic achievements of my students!

My name is Diane and I am a medical student with a true passion for science. I have an undergrad degree in biochemistry and a Masters in Biomedical Sciences. I have been tutoring students for several years. I am someone that takes time to explain the material, and make sure you understand each concept presented. I enjoy helping students see things in a clearer way and discover new ways to solve problems. In addition, I am also available to tutor students in English and writing. Whether it is proofreading a paper, or helping to brainstorm, I am here to assist in every step of the creative process. Please feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in a session.

I'm currently completing an accelerated BS/MS in Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University. I have experience tutoring math and volunteering with students from elementary through high school. I believe every student learns differently, and I strive to adapt my teaching approach to their individual needs. My goal is to break down challenging concepts into manageable steps, build students' confidence, and create a supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions.

I am working towards a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Ohio State University with the primary goal of becoming an engineering professor after graduation. During my undergraduate years at Drexel University I worked towards this goal as a part time peer coach for freshman engineering students, facilitating understanding of Calculus concepts in a workshop environment. The satisfaction of seeing the "aha" moments in the students' faces at the end of tough problems solidified my desire to become a teacher and educator.When I reflect on the exceptional teachers that I have had during my college years, they all have three traits in common: They have an obvious passion for what they are teaching; they describe complex concepts in simple ways that are easy to visualize; and they build clear connections between theoretical problems and real world situations.In addition to these traits, the best educators I know are personable, respectable, persistent, and good listeners. I strive to embody these traits and qualities every day in order to become a great teacher.

I am nearing the completion of an accelerated bachelor's and master's degree in biomedical engineering with a concentration in Neuroengineering from Drexel University. I have been tutoring elementary school, middle school, high school, and college students since I graduated from a science and math focused magnet high school program in 2021. I normally tutor students in math subjects, from elementary school math to college differential equations and statistics. I strongly believe that each student has a unique learning style, and by finding out what exactly this learning style is, I tailor my lessons accordingly so that my students understand me better. It is important to me to learn from the student just as much as they would learn from me, and my mission is to not only guide my students through the difficulties they are facing with their academics, but to also provide my students with the tools to be able to eventually become independent learners.

I'm an experienced tutor with a Bachelor's in Biology and 3 years teaching experience, and I love helping students succeed in subjects like Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy, and Math. Being fluent in both English andSpanish and having lived 5 years in Spain, I also enjoy teaching Spanish and ESL. I've worked with students of all ages and levels, and I'm excited to bring my passion for teaching to your child. I'm all about creating a positive, personalized learning experience that helps students feel confident and reach their goals!

Hi! I'm Sophie, and I'm a medical student with a passion for teaching. I want to work with patients, but my other goal is to go into academic medicine. I can't picture my present or future without education in it. I began tutoring for my little sister when both of us were in high school, helping her with math, English, science, and Spanish. In college, I started branching out to tutor friends. In 2019 I began volunteer tutoring for my college's chemistry department, and soon after, I took on a job at a local tutoring center teaching biology and chemistry (and occasionally physics and math) to high school students. Since taking the MCAT and scoring 99th percentile, I started tutoring for that as well. Biology and chemistry are my main teaching areas: chemistry because I've had the most tutoring experience in it, and biology because I have practical experience through lab research and patient care. I can also teach math or physics (I used to be an engineering student so I know those subjects well). I pride myself on bringing a real passion for the subjects I teach. I also strive to abolish simple; disjointed memorization and help my students see their subject matter through a logical, problem-solving oriented lens. I look forward to learning with you!

Hi! I am a dentist who recently graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. I have always been a tutor driven by a desire to help the student understand the course material beyond the scope of the class and syllabus. I majored in Biology during my undergraduate career, and so I am strongest in math and science courses. I tutor all ages from elementary school to those who are applying for graduate programs. I have helped students for the past 5 years in Biology, Chemistry, and Math at the collegiate and high school level. I also enjoy preparing students for entrance exams such as the ACT, SAT, or DAT. Inviting all those who are curious to learn and hungry to achieve more to connect with me for an ever-enthralling journey up the learning curve!

Hello and thank you for your interest. My name is Stephanie and I've worked as a creative services producer for a local television station for a few years before becoming an elementary school teacher. I've always enjoyed working with children and was excited to take on the role as a Kindergarten teacher 7 years ago and also an online ESL teacher roughly 4 years ago. I often describe teaching as going to an ice cream party everyday: lots of fun, maybe some spills, different flavors of personalities and then more fun the next day. I take learning and educating very seriously however, in the classroom it's all about fun and adventures while learning. Thank you so much for your time and I hope to be your tutor soon.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering from Drexel University. Since graduation I have worked as a research assistant and a research coordinator. I also have traveled a lot. Currently I am taking classes as a Non-matriculated student at Temple University and I am studying to take subject and general Graduate Record Exams. I enjoy learning and teaching science very much. Math is my favorite subject to tutor. For me, solving a complicated math problem is like solving a puzzle that I never get tired of. I have been a Math tutor for almost 10 years. I like to plan every tutoring session ahead and I believe practice makes perfect. I appreciate nature and I enjoy taking walks on my free time.

Hello, my name is Lena! I graduated from Tufts University in 2017 with a BS in Biology, and I just completed my MS of Biomedical Studies at Drexel University. In my master's program, I was a peer tutor for graduate level sciences, such as anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. In August, I will be starting medical school to pursue my dream of being a physician. In the meantime, I am here to help with pre-med coursework, MCAT prep, and many other classes. I am frequently available for online tutoring.

I firmly believe that most students have an innate ability to learn well, and that a good teacher/tutor can connect with students to draw out that natural ability. Thus, students shouldn't feel discouraged about learning, and I strive to help them keep positive, no matter how tough the subject/topic seems--you can do this!So far, I have been lucky to work with students ranging from college freshmen through graduate students, and I also served briefly as a K-12 para-educator in NJ. I earned my Ph.D. in Communication from Drexel U., and my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in English and Communication from Kean University.For the future, I look forward to tutoring K-12, college, and other students for language arts, humanities, and social sciences subjects, as well as a limited number of lower-level STEM subjects. In addition, I look forward to mentoring students vis-a-vis study skills and strategies. Moreover, I really don't have a favorite subject as such--I enjoy teaching any subject.My teaching philosophy and tutoring style, in a nutshell: I am patient and understanding, but I have reasonably high standards for myself and my students--and I lead by example!On an off-work day, you might find me taking a stroll or a swim, or reading a good Ken Follet novel. Or, who knows, you might find me taking a flying lesson (for a private pilot license)!

Hi! I'm currently a Master's student studying biomedical studies and I am preparing to begin medical school.

I am currently a medical student in Philadelphia, and have a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Stony Brook University. I have several years of experience tutoring SAT students, but thanks to my mixed background I have proficiency in a wide range of subjects including mathematics, biological sciences, engineering, and physical sciences.I am passionate about teaching, and have taught healthcare sciences to underprivileged high school students in my spare time. My own experience as a student has taught me that learning new subject material can be intimidating, so my teaching philosophy involves a focus on breaking down complex problems into simpler, less daunting components. As a teacher I am most fulfilled when, through systematic instruction and problem-solving, I am able to promote the type of academic confidence that allows students to achieve their full potential.I was a collegiate rugby player and understand the struggles of the student-athlete. However, I firmly believe that many of the qualities that earn success in athletics can also translate to the classroom. I strive to exemplify this balance and motivate students to pursue success in all areas of their life.

I am a registered nurse and lifelong educator with a passion for helping learners succeed. I have a bachelor's degree from Pennsylvania State University and a master's degree from Drexel University. I am a certified teacher and principal in the state of Pennsylvania. And I am currently enrolled in a Doctor of Education program. I have taught at the high school level, and I currently teach at two community colleges and manage a state-certified nurse aide training program. I believe everyone can learn if they are provided with the tools and time to succeed. When I am not teaching, I enjoy cooking, baking, reading, traveling, and everything Disney.

Hello I am Peter Campion. I studied education in Temple's graduate program, and I have a bachelor of science in physics from Drexel University. I taught high schoolclasses of chemistry, biology, physical science, and earth space science in Northeast Philadelphia. I have also worked on a project to create a code that generates animations of simulated galactic dynamics. More recently, I have co-authored my second scholarly article concerning a dark matter search apparatus engineered with PICO international collaboration.

Tutoring is more than just teaching someone. Something I have learned over the course of my tutoring is that you have to seek out the great potential in every student, personalize your teaching, and of course, involve your students in an active participation, because their success also depends on all of the above. I am a nurse graduate from Drexel University. I reside in Lancaster, PA. My strong background and exposure to science and my enthusiasm for helping others will help me achieve goals of making others successful as well.

I graduated with a B.A. in Biology, and have recently obtained an M.S. in Biomedical Sciences. While pursuing my Masters, I tutored graduate students in the medical college and obtained my Level 1 CRLA certification. I am currently applying to medical school while working in medical research. In my free time, I enjoy baking, cooking, taking dance classes at the gym, and reading.

I am a certified teacher who is willing to help students of all ages reach their potential.

I am very enthusiastic and looking forward to sharing my knowledge with you! I began tutoring in 4th grade as a peer mathematics tutor. Fast forward to college, I have three years of tutoring experience with two of the three years as a teaching assistant. I employ a lot of pictures and relate examples to real-world experience to better connect the classroom to experiences! I graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology with a minor in legal studies and a concentration in politics. Currently, I am a 1L (first year law student).

I am a graduate of Providence College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Upon graduation, I worked in hospital administration until beginning my pursuit of a Master of Science in Medical Science through the Drexel University College of Medicine. I have been tutoring middle school, high school and college students in Chicago through Varsity Tutors since November 2014. My own passion for math and science and my academic history of them has resulted in a focus in tutoring within these subjects. Of these, my favorite topics to tutor are Algebra and Chemistry, as they both have discernible patterns within the material which leads to a better understanding as one builds new topics on previous ones. I have found that students have the most success in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they become second nature. Like the subjects that I teach, I believe that education is an ongoing and ever-growing component that is necessary for a happy and fulfilling life, and that there is always something new to learn each and every day. In my spare time, I like to exercise, volunteer, play basketball, go snowboarding, watch sports (mainly football and soccer) or play video games.

The ACT is a test that can be easy to excel at, but you have to learn the test itself. Understanding concepts helps, but understanding the test itself will allow you to see the greatest increase in your score. I understood this when I took the test, and it's what got me a 99th percentile score. I help others see similar scores, and I can help you as well. Apart from the ACT, I can help you with any highschool math class, as I earned A's in all of them.

I'm an interactive teacher that has taught and tutored all levels of math from Algebra through. AP Calculus, physics , calculus, SAT Math and MCAT math, and much more. I enjoy all aspects of education from teaching and tutoring to creating education and creating curriculum.

Let's face it: Math can be tough. So why not make it easier with a personal tutor there help explain the hard things?I have over 5 years of private and group tutoring in all math levels from middle school to high school. I have helped students with Algebra I and II, Geometry, Precalculus, Trigonometry, and Calculus, as well as test prep for the SAT. In that time period, I have had the opportunity to work with dozens of students with different backgrounds, skill levels, and learning styles. As much as tutoring helps the student, it also helps me. My instruction incorporates the best techniques and explanations that I have found most effective over the years.I believe there are two critical ingredients needed to conquer any math issues. The first, is the quality of the tutor. Without a doubt, many people can teach you how to do a math problem, but not everyone can help explain it in such a way that you understand it and can apply the knowledge to future problems. The second important ingredient to successful learning is a positive attitude by the student. When tackling tough math problems, many students begin to feel overwhelmed by the material. I make sure to teach the material at a level the student can understand before progressing to more difficult problems. I have found that this approach allows the student to build up their confidence in the material, which directly translates into a willingness to learn and work hard.In addition, I highly value communication during the tutoring process. This involves keeping parents updated with how lessons are progressing and what was covered and could also include reaching out to school teachers to learn more about the material being covered. This also allows both the student and parents to give me feedback if a certain style of teaching helped a lot or not as much. A big support system around the student is incredibly important to creating a productive environment.I love seeing that aha moment on students faces, and Id love to see one on yours! I encourage you to reach out if you not only want to meet your goals, but exceed them. I look forward to hearing from you.

As a passionate tutor with a Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences from Drexel University, I am committed to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment for my students.

I strive to connect with each student by tailoring my approach to their unique learning styles, helping them to navigate complex scientific concepts with confidence. My motivation for tutoring stems from a genuine desire to inspire curiosity and foster growth in my students. I am excited to contribute my knowledge and enthusiasm to enhance their educational journeys and support them in achieving their academic goals.

I graduated from Drexel University with a Bachelors in Biomedical Engineering and an MD. I've also done some masters courses in Biomed at Johns Hopkins and taught people from grade school to fellow physicians. I believe that the best knowledge comes from deep understanding of fundamental principles and building things up from there. I lean heavy towards science but am very appreciative of the humanities subjects and am happy to help students with either.
