I am a graduate of Emory University in Atlanta, GA, where I received my Bachelor of Sciences in Anthropology and Human Biology with a minor in Predictive Health. After I graduated, I worked as a laboratory assistant at a cardiology lab at Emory University School of Medicine. While I am interested in chemistry, math among others in STEM, I am very passionate about biotechnology and general biology including genetics, physiology, and cell biology. As an aspiring dentist, I am currently working towards getting a dental degree. During my undergraduate career, I had several experiences of helping other students with learning materials and quiz/exam preparation. I am excited to have another opportunity to help other students again through Varsity Tutors because I truly believe that education is absolutely imperative to a better quality of life and that everyone is fully capable of learning and making potentials to reality. As for tutoring, I put much emphasis on active participation and positive reinforcement. A learning environment should stay interactive, fun, but challenging. By encountering challenges, I believe a student's potential could rise. Besides my life in academia, I enjoy traveling, photography, and physical activities including hiking, running, and skiing during winter.

I am an undergraduate student at Emory University's Goizueta Business School where I am pursuing my Bachelor of Business Administration, concentrating in Strategy & Management Consulting and Information Systems & Operations Management. I am passionate about tutoring because I want to give everyone the opportunity to reach their maximum potential in academic achievement. My favorite subjects to tutor include writing, math, and music. My approach to tutoring is to meet the student wherever they are and walk alongside them as they navigate their way through various subjects.

As an undergraduate I was a teacher's assistant, then spent a year between college and law school teaching English at a high school in France. I graduated from the University of Georgia Honors Program with dual degrees in History and and Economics, and a Minor in Classical Culture. I then attended Emory University School of Law where I graduated with honors.I spent almost four years at an Am Law 100 firm practicing general commercial litigation. I recently moved over to the City Solicitor's Office, Civil Right's Division to get some trial experience. I scored in the 92nd percentile on the LSAT and believe my test prep skills and practical experience would make me an excellent tutor for anyone looking for help with the LSAT and/or law school classes!Apart from being a lawyer, I love running, tennis, painting, IPAs/red wines, and have even dabbled in improv comedy (though I make no representations that you will actually find me funny).

I am currently a senior at Emory University studying chemistry and applied math with a focus on inorganic chemistry. I will be available to tutor algebra, trigonometry, algebra 2, biology, chemistry, calculus, geometry, pre- calculus, and ACT prep. I started tutoring in high school and continued tutoring at Emory where I tutored general chemistry, introductory biology, and calculus for two years. Apart from academic tutoring, I am also involved in Project SHINE which teaches English to recent Atlanta immigrants. I believe that education (no matter what kind) is crucial in life, but I also strive to emphasize why something is important. In my experience, most students struggle with something because they don't understand exactly why it is important or simply do not care. I am heavily involved in academic research at Emory so I am able to help a student understand exactly why a specific subject area is important and how it is continuously applied both in the lab and in the real world to improve our lives. It's always easier to see the physical and practical applications of a subject than try to visualize its importance on paper. In my spare time I enjoy chemistry, ancient Roman history, jam bands, running, cycling, and scuba diving.

I am a recent graduate of Emory University, where I received my BA in Psychology and Linguistics, while also majoring in Chinese. I am currently working towards my MA in Applied Linguistics at Georgia State University. I primarily tutor reading comprehension and writing because I have a passion for both of these skills. My goal is to have every student love writing and reading as much as I do. I have experience with working with students all over the world, from China to Saudi Arabia to the United States. My approach to tutoring is to make it as personalized as possible and have me and the student work collaboratively to get to the answer, instead of the student being told the answer and be expected to understand it.Overall, I hope to spread my passion for education and learning to more students. I look forward to helping you!

I received my B.S. in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology from Emory University with a minor in Spanish. I am currently working toward my M.S. in Medical Sciences at Boston University School of Medicine. In college, I worked with a high school student, for his 9th grade year, focusing mostly on his biology and writing assignments. I was a research coordinator at the Marcus Autism center where I worked with very young kids (ages 2-9) with and without learning disabilities. We worked on general school-related skills and any homework they brought. In my master's program, I did a lot of group study. Frequently, this meant teaching a group of my peers who needed to see the material presented in a new way. I love learning and I want to help others love it, too. Throughout my studies, grades never just came easily to me. I was constantly working at getting better and trying to figure out how to solve problems in many different ways. With this type of experience, I want to help other students who may be struggling with a concept to get to a place where they see how fun and rewarding it can be to really understand the material. I tutor a wide variety of topics; however, my favorites are biology and anatomy. Biology is so exciting for me because it is the foundation for all of life, and helps us understand the world we live in. Anatomy is great because you are living in your own cheat sheet (your body)! When I am tutoring, I want to hear or see my students' thought processes. It's great if you can get to the right answer, but truly learning means knowing how you got there. So, I love having my students teach the concepts back to me. Outside of school, I play slow-pitch softball and I love to cook and bake.

My own teaching method is strongly informed by my personal experiences as a student. At the conclusion of Kindergarten, my teacher advised my parents that I was not going to be able to keep up with my classmates and needed to be held back for a year; they felt I was lacking focus and at risk of failing to develop in step with my peers. Despite my teacher's concerns, my parents decided to send me along to first grade and trust that any 'growing pains' would resolve themselves. Twelve years later, I graduated in the top 1% of my class after being selected for the Honors/AP track at my school, received four academic merit based full-tuition scholarships to top ranked universities, scored in the 99th percentile on various standardized exams, was one of only thirteen young women invited to join the Illinois' Allstate Academic Team, had preemptively completed some of my college course work through a scholarship at University of Cambridge (UK), and received membership invitations to a multitude of honors societies. My academic aptitude accelerated in college, and I graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude among other accomplishments.

I am a rising senior at Emory University. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience & Behavioral Biology with a minor in Philosophy. During my time at Emory, I have developed a passion for understanding the human mind using an array of methodologies. While I can tutor in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about biology, chemistry, and writing. I can often be found in the library studying with my peers and helping them to understand complex topics that arise in our coursework, and have developed a knack for breaking down difficult concepts into terms that any learner can understand.

Hello! My name is Dennis, and I am an undergraduate student at Emory University studying Anthropology and Human Biology. I believe that effective test preparation covers essential test-taking strategies, time management techniques, as well as stress-reduction exercises. My main focuses encompass SAT, ACT, and SHSAT test prep, but I strongly believe the strategies I cover can be widely applied to the regular school environment. If you have any questions or would like to set up an appointment, feel free to contact me. I am excited to get to know you and I hope to meet you soon!

A former Princeton graduate student, I am currently a high school teacher and I have been teaching the SAT and GRE for 10 years. I have been able to lift scores up in both math and reading, helping students gain acceptance into schools like Princeton, Harvard, Lehigh, UPenn, Monmouth, and Rutgers. While the SAT may seem daunting, I can show certain techniques and strategies for overcoming it. But it takes more than just techniques to improve on the SAT. I also help students with the "grunt work" needed to improve their score on the SAT. Additionally, I can help all students looking to take the GRE, another of my specialties

I've always loved helping people, even my friends when we were in the same classes. It brings me a lot of satisfaction when I help a student feel more confident in what they are learning. It is so rewarding when I am able to relieve the stigma of certain subjects, especially math, in order for a student to perform well. I hope my work with different students is able to promote the importance of education!

I strive to help students of all ages better learn the material and use specific learning techniques that best fit the learning styles of every student I tutor. I am a passionate and energetic graduate student with extensive background in life sciences and have years of teaching experience. I am a great communicator that is also patient and creative. I feel these skills enable me to work with students and effectively improve their knowledge and understanding of the material they may struggle with. I received my B.S. from Emory University in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology along with teaching experience in biology and human health. I feel my energy along with background in life sciences and teaching can offer any student seeking help the best possible assistance with their course material. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, football and soccer, as well as music.

Hi there! My name is Khuyen and I am a pre-med post graduate from Emory University with a B.S. in Anthropology and Human Biology and a B.A. in Spanish. I was a Spanish tutor, clinical preceptor, and Mentorship Chair in college where I taught new students in many subjects and developed a passion for mentorship. I believe that every student is different and requires an individualized study approach, but all students can succeed with grit, an open mind, and practice, practice, PRACTICE!!! I recently took the MCAT so I completely understand the grind that goes into this test. I would love to share my knowledge, strategies and tips to help others succeed and I look forward to working with new people who are where I once was. I am currently working in research through the Jane Goodall Institute as I apply for medical school. In my free time, I love to travel, play sports, resell fashion pieces, and explore new restaurants and places. Feel free to reach out to chat about your other pre-med and career questions. Looking forward to it!

I am a third year Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology major at Emory University. My tutoring career unofficially began helping my younger siblings with homework, but has since professionalized! I have tutored students ranging in age, interest, background, and academic capabilities. In the past year, I spent most of my time tutoring 3rd to 6th graders, working on math, reading, writing, and science homework. I also edited college English and biology papers. My favorite subjects to tutor are writing and the sciences! I love to get to know my student's interests and fill sessions with fun activities and relevant discussions. My primary goal in tutoring is to build my students' confidence, both in the material and in their ability to take control of their learning. Most importantly, I try to relate what we're learning to real world problems! In my spare time, I like to read the Economist, read a good book, hang with friends and run.

I have worked as a tutor for a number of years with students in various subjects and educational levels. While I was in graduate school, in addition to working as a teaching assistant in statistics classes, I tutored students in undergraduate and graduate statistics courses. As a former elementary school teacher, I also worked with students at the elementary/middle school level in English language arts and math.I began my professional career as an elementary school tutor in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. I loved teaching all subjects, but my favorites were writing and math. I currently work as a researcher studying problems related to medical education and medical workforce development.I have a BA from Emory University in pyschology, a master's in elementary education from American University and a PhD from Teachers College, Columbia University in measurement, evaluation and statistics.

I have been tutoring for over 6 years. I have tutored privately, with companies, and at universities. I have also tutored many different students across many different ages. I love teaching and tutoring. I make sure to adapt my tutoring approach to each student I work with, ensuring that each student gets the most out of the tutoring session. Your success is my number one priority.

I graduated from Emory University in May of 2016 with a BSc in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology. I started tutoring peers my freshman year in General Biology, and gradually moved on to other subjects, such as Biochemistry and MCAT prep as I learned the topics myself. As someone who struggled to learn in elementary and middle school, I understand how frustrating a new concept can be, and do my best to develop individualized study plans for all my students. My goal is always to ensure that my students will eventually become academically independent with their subjects, to the point where I feel they could tutor someone else in that same content.I currently work as a Research Specialist at the Emory University school of Medicine in the physiology department. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, weight lifting, Uke, and hiking.

I graduated from the University of Georgia in May 2012 with a master's degree in social studies education. I received my bachelor's degree in history from Emory University in 2009. I have been tutoring students in various subjects for the last 8 years. During my time at the University of Georgia I taught about 75 US history students at a local high school, as well as tutoring and teaching students in Athens-area elementary and high schools. I am currently certified to teach history, economics, geography and political science in Georgia. I have also taken courses in ESOL and gifted education.I feel that students should have a firm understanding of the process of learning, and not just the ability to memorize random facts. Once students understand how to work through problems and find answers on their own, success in school, and in life outside of school will hopefully come more naturally. Education and learning should be a positive and enriching experience where students come to know and understand the world around them.I have a few interests outside of education. I love running and taking my 2-year-old border collie to dog parks. I also like taking hikes and backpacking wherever there's a good trail. I enjoy learning to cook new things for my friends and family.

I am a graduate of Emory University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I then received a Master of Science from Johns Hopkins University where I focused on Biotechnology. I am currently pursuing my M.D. in Boston, MA. During my time in graduate school, I tutored middle school and high school students in science and math. I love tutoring science, especially health sciences as I am in school to become a physician. I also enjoy teaching math and I find it to be one of the most rewarding subjects to watch a student grow to understand. Throughout my academic career, I have taken the SAT, GRE, and MCAT so I am especially passionate about test preparation.

I am a graduate of Emory University, where I was an Emory Faculty Scholar and academics tutor who double-majored in Economics and Psychology, and am also a current MBA graduate student at Duke University (on academic scholarship). I have several years experience tutoring across a variety of subjects and also 6+ years of experience as a recruiter (and 2+ years as Director of Recruitment). I also provide freelance career coaching and resume services when I am not tutoring or immersing myself in learning. Ultimately, I am passionate about helping my students find sustainable ways to learn from, succeed in, and get the most from their classes....even the ones that are most frustrating and that challenge them the most. Let's work together to achieve your/your child's academic goals and have some fun in the process! (Learning and fun should go hand in hand, after all).Specialty areas include: Math (Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 &2, Statistics), Introductory Economics (Micro, Macro), GMAT (Verbal, Quant, Writing), SAT Verbal/Writing, Writing, English (all grade Levels up to AP/College), Reading Comprehension Psychology, Networking, Study Skills & Organization, Business

What better way is there to apply knowledge than to explain to others? I enjoy giving abstract concepts substance by discussing them with others, among peers and students alike. The action is also enjoyable on a social level-- there is nothing quite like navigating new material with someone else. It's an opportunity for both of us to discover new ways to relate with what we are learning.It's these sentiments that have made studying Chemistry at Emory University a great experience so far. It's also why I like to tutor Algebra. The subject is all about relationships, and becomes so applicable in other natural sciences. Because of it's versatility, there's a multitude of ways to connect concepts. I like to relate new material with knowledge a student already possesses by outlining these connections. I've found this method to be very effective with my little sister, as well as students at Kumon Learning Centers.Outside of academia, I enjoy running, reading and swing dance. I'm involved with my campus American Sign Language club, as well as residence life.

Hi there! Thank you for checking out my profile. My name is Tino. I enjoy helping students prepare in subjects related to mathematics, statistics, economics, econometrics, and the sciences. My students have ranged from ages 5 to 45 -- so practically everyone is welcome! I particularly enjoy teaching undergraduate level courses or test-prep (SAT Math, ACT Math). As for my qualifications, I have been tutoring ever since I was 14 years old and I am currently pursuing my PhD in Economics at the Toulouse School of Economics. I hold a Master's in Economics, Master's in Data Sciences and Business analytics, and my Bachelor's was in Business at Emory University in Atlanta, GA.

I am a rising senior at Emory University studying Quantitative Neuroscience with a minor in Spanish. I have been a tutor for Spanish, math, and chemistry since high school, where I was a coteacher for AP Spanish Literature and Culture during my junior year. My favorite subjects to tutor are Spanish and calculus--I love to show the visual side of math and the reasoning behind concepts in Spanish, such as the subjunctive. Too often, I think math is taught as theoretical concepts when it is also quite visual, and I've seen graphing approaches be very helpful for my students. Similarly, Spanish is sometimes taught via memorization, but there are many ways to simplify Spanish by learning how to think about it differently. I'm passionate about teaching students effective ways to learn and even appreciate these difficult subjects.

Hi I'm Sunay, I'm from Cleveland and currently a Junior at Emory University majoring in Finance and Information Systems. I've previously worked at the Harvard Management Company and will be joining Bank of America as a investment banking analyst in New York. As a current virtual ACT and peer tutor and volunteer tutor for underprivileged students, I have gained experience in instilling important research, writing, analytical, and mathematical skills in my students. I'm happy to help students with Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Geometry, Precalculus, and AB Calculus. I'm also happy to help students editing, writing, or outlining essays for any AP or regular English class or for college essays. In the foreign language department, I'm happy to help Spanish students in Spanish 1 through 3. In science, I'm happy to help students currently studying AP Biology, Physics Honors, and AP Statistics. Finally, anyone needing help with ACT, SAT or PSAT Prep should come to me as I've helped students raise their scores in all sections and have achieved National Merit on the PSAT. In my free time, I'm an avid scuba diver (Galapagos, Iceland) and enjoy playing tennis with friends.

My name is Ryan! I am currently a student at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and in 2024 I graduated from Emory University with a B.A. in Political Science. Since I began tutoring for the LSAT, I have had the privilege of helping countless students raise their score by 15+ points and I would love the opportunity to help you as well!

I am currently a rising junior at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia although I am originally from Chicago, IL. I am double majoring in Psychology and English. My current GPA is a 3.9 and I have taken a wide range of courses. I was editor in chief of my school's newspaper, competed internationally for our Model UN team, and I currently college counsel low-income high-achieving students at high schools in downtown Atlanta, in addition to tutoring multiple students in ACT/SAT prep, English, Biology, and History. This includes helping them prepare for standardized tests, editing essays and applications, and generating lists of potential institutions to apply to. I received a 35 on my ACT. In the past, I was a teacher's assistant at a home and school for severely autistic children ages 9-14, and worked on overcoming communicative barriers to foster interpersonal connections. I have also tutored multiple children with learning disabilities. In my experience, getting students engaged is just about finding the strategy that works best for them. That may mean we have to try multiple approaches, or approaches that I don't prefer, but I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that incredible feeling with a student when they finally grasp a concept.

Hi, I'm Alex. I'm currently a pre-medical student with a Bachelor's in Neuroscience from Emory University and a Master's in Biology from Mississippi College. I've been studying the natural sciences for the better part of my academic career. I consider myself an interactive learner and a passionate teacher. I know how hard things like biology, chemistry, physics and math can be but once I realized how to break them down piece by piece I saw that there was no concept that I couldn't conquer. I finally saw the big picture of things. Let me show you!

I have been teaching for 16 years. I enjoy helping others achieve success. I have taught and tutored many students in mathematics and economics over the past 16 years! My tutoring style is all about listening, answering questions and making sure that students feel confident in being successful at school! I have taught AP Economics for 7 years, AP Statistics for 10 years and I am a college board reader! I also have experience teaching a variety of other subjects ranging from primary grades up to adult learning. I am gifted certified and I am a certified instructional coach!

I recently graduated with a Master of Art in teaching secondary science from Georgia State and will begin teaching full time this upcoming school year. While in school I completed a year-long, full-time clinical placement at a high school in metro Atlanta. This experience provided the opportunity to work with a variety of learners. I have a BS in Environmental Studies from Emory University and a minor in Global Health, Culture, and Society.I enjoy being active in my spare time including rowing, running, biking, and vinyasa yoga. I also spend my time volunteering with Lifeline Animal Project.

I earned my Bachelors of Science in Biology at Emory University and am currently in the application process for law schools.I tutor a variety of subjects from elementary math and science to college level biology and chemistry. I also help with LSAT exam prep and edit essays.I've tutored lots of elementary students and always try to make learning a positive experience for them so they can develop a life long love of learning about the world around them.It is always gratifying to have a student of mine feel that sense of accomplishment and pride in coming to an understanding of a challenging subject. I feel that learning and "getting smarter" is possible for everyone given the right approach and that the biggest challenge is finding that approach.In my free time, I like to go indoor rock-climbing. I am also a big fan of video games and currently play a lot of Overwatch!I love art and often take B&W photos as a hobby and dream of taking my camera on a trip around the world.

I am a graduate of Rice University (B.A. in Biochemistry and Cell Biology, History) and Emory University (MPH). Through my undergraduate and graduate studies, I have tutored students in various subjects in one-on-one and group tutoring sessions. I am fluent in Spanish and English and enjoy teaching and tutoring students in Spanish, History, English, Algebra I and II, Calculus, Biology and Chemistry. I have personal experience and tutor for the following standardized exams: AP, IB, SAT, ACT and GRE.I believe that with some encouragement, the right guidance, and motivation, students can unlock their full academic potential and excel in subjects they previously have struggled in. I work with students to understand the underlying reasons of why some concepts are harder than others and teach to the style (visual, aural, verbal, physical) that best suits the student. I also work with the student (and parents) to develop plans to reach the student's overall academic goals. I believe that learning is not so much about the destination and the end result, but how the journey the student takes. I want my students to not only learn the concepts but get enough confidence in themselves to tackle hard subjects in the future without fear of failure.

Hi, my name is Tim, and I teach languages. Why study with me? 3 reasons: I have experience and qualifications, I tailor my lessons to what you need, and I understand the point of view of the student. I have a master's degree in teaching ESL and French, and I've taught for over 30 years, everyone from kids to senior citizens, I've taught in schools, in companies and hospitals and one-on-one. I've taught English, Japanese, French and Spanish. I lived in Japan for 25 years, but for the last few years I taught Spanish and Japanese in an American middle school. Now I teach at a community college. My experience helps me tailor lessons to your needs. I listen to your goals, I observe your language needs and learning styles, and I design practice to help you where you need help. I love learning languages, and I've traveled around the world studying a dozen languages. So I can see things from the learner's point of view. I can sympathize with both your excitement and your frustration.

My previous tutoring experience comes from tutoring students at my high school and at the Gideon Math and Reading Center. I often taught math topics that students were not able to understand or specific problems. The math topics were usually geometry or algebra 2 questions/concepts. I also taught ACT and PSAT concepts to students. I also often helped my friends and my sister with difficult math homework problems that were assigned. Math is my strong suit and therefore, I am most comfortable teaching these subjects well. However, in regards to sciences or English, I am knowledgeable in these subject areas as well.

Hello! I am an Emory University graduate with a B.S. in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology. While my academic background gives me the tools to effectively tutor in maths and sciences, my love of reading and the humanities bestows me with the unique ability to also excel in reading comprehension and composition.Throughout college, I tutored high school students in all sections of the SAT and other school subjects. I developed a true appreciation for working with students to not only improve their grades, but also their confidence and mindset. Making sure the students' goals align with my goals (and, of course, the parents' goals!) gives the student the internal motivation and drive that is required to apply the insight gained at a tutoring session to every day academic performance. I am absolutely confident that any student can find what motivates them and gain valuable knowledge that both raises the grade or score and aids in improvement across the board.Outside of tutoring, I have a passion for food, movies, and health (or anything that encompasses all three!). I also love traveling and hope to have the opportunity to do so many times in the future.

Hi there! My name is Andrew, and I want to help you ace the MCAT! As a recent Emory graduate and current 2021-2022 MD applicant, I know all too well how discouraging it can feel to invest your time and energy into content review and practice, only for that hard work to not materialize as a score increase.My goal as a tutor is to prevent this by demystifying common MCAT misconceptions and pointing you towards the test prep resources that can help you make the most of your time spent studying. I will also try to pinpoint any gaps in your understanding of the content, so you can build up the foundation of knowledge you will need to get the most value from practice questions.Finally, I can provide the proven tips and strategies I used to climb from a 507 on my diagnostic full length to a 524 on the real deal - a 100th percentile score. For example, instead of gimmicky highlighting or writing outlines, I can show you how to improve your reading comprehension pace so CARS no longer seems like a coin toss. Instead of getting caught on throwaway details on B/B, I will show you how to focus on the salient information the AAMC wants you to take away from the passage.As I spend my upcoming year going through the rest of the medical school application process, it is my sincere hope that I can help you achieve your goals on a timeline that works for you, and I look forward to potentially meeting and working with you in the future.

I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in biology. Currently, I am a law student at Emory University.I am excited to help students learn tactics and strategies that will allow them to succeed on the LSAT! While studying for the LSAT, I used these tactics and strategies to increase my score by 18 points and score in the 99th percentile of all LSAT takers.

I have experience tutoring math 1:1. I have also taught the math and English sections of the SAT, and I have taught full music classes to students. I love kids and teaching!

I now live in Gilbert, Arizona. Previously, I was a government contractor and have a long background in education. I have an MA in French and international relations from Middlebury Institute of International Studies. My BA was from Emory University in International Studies plus linguistics. I speak three languages and have extensive experience teaching them, including English. I personally learned English through ESL classes and a few other languages in my adult years so I know how difficult it can be but also how rewarding it is to see life through different languages and cultures. I'm an expert in international relations, history, linguistics, and most humanity subjects. I feel confident in these areas due to my education and work experience in government in DC and abroad. The most fun fact about my background is that I have worked for the oldest living U.S president! If you require help with AP classes in history, English, French or most humanity subjects, please contact me and I would love to help!

Hi! My name is Karim, and I recently graduated from Emory University with a B.S. in Biology and Psychology. I am currently applying to medical schools and hope to become a pediatrician. My hobbies and interests include: singing, spending time with friends when I can, astronomy, working out, staying tuned to scientific discoveries and healthcare reform, catching up on shows like The Daily Show, Dexter, and Big Bang Theory, and listening to music.I have several years worth of experience tutoring and mentoring children ages 5-11 in math, reading, and writing. However, I also have extensive experience tutoring and mentoring in subjects including general and organic chemistry, physics, biology, human physiology, calculus, microbiology, as well as general study skills. I have also helped my friends with college, medical, and dental school admissions essays. I am a very organized and goal-oriented individual who always tries to work as efficiently as possible. The catch phrase I've adopted from my 8th grade algebra teacher is "Work smarter, not harder." When learning concepts, I don't just try to memorize the material-though that is the basis of learning any material. But I always try to connect different concepts together to grasp the larger picture and really get a thorough understanding of the material, allowing me to reason through not only problems I've seen before, but also through ones I haven't. I apply the same philosophy when helping others. I often ask questions to grasp others' understanding of certain material and guide them with their thinking process using diagrams, hand gestures/models, and deductive reasoning. This way I help others to really form a concrete understanding of the material and formulate solutions on their own rather than me just telling them the answers. But of course, sometimes it takes some hints to help them get started, and I am always happy to provide them when I can =) I promise to do my very best to help you achieve your academic goals while also having fun through the learning process. I look forward to working with you!

I became a tutor because I love to teach. I first started tutoring as a student at Emory University, where I worked with fellow students who were struggling with writing in the Emory Student Writing Center. I realized that I had a knack for helping students understand grammar and composition and soon developed a reputation for my ability to help my peers understand why they were struggling and how they could improve. After graduation, I continued to work at Emory as an Arts at Emory associate, a highly competitive two-year fellowship that gave me the chance to co-teach a writing-intensive course in Theater History. I then joined the Peace Corps and traveled to Chad, where I worked as a full-time teacher for students in the equivalents of 8th-12th grade. Upon returning to the United States, I became a full-time tutor with a major tutoring company in Atlanta, where I tutored middle and high school students in all subjects as well as standardized test preparation.I believe that students enjoy learning from teachers who enjoy learning themselves. As an enthusiastic learner and engaged listener, I am able to connect empathetically with my students while motivating them to achieve their very best. While not all schoolwork is fun and games, I believe that my ability to help students understand the bigger picture and connect the subjects they are learning with their goals and dreams helps them to see the value of their accomplishments. I have benefitted from many great teachers over my life, and it is my sincere wish to help other students find the same joy in learning that those teachers instilled in me.
