1+ Years Tutoring

I'm a first-year med student at Pitt Med. I graduated from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts with a BS in Biology this past May. As much as I love medicine and the hard sciences, most of my tutoring experience is in general ACT prep, in addition to academic and creative writing, middle school math and reading, and high school and college math. Some of my favorite all-time classes were medical sociology in college and AP US Government and Politics in high school. Through Tufts, I taught English as a second language (3 semesters) and citizenship exam prep (1 semester) to Hispanic immigrants and refugees, which taught me a lot about how to gauge students' understanding, teach tough subjects, plan activities, provide flashcards and the best possible study materials, and make the most of the students' time. I love tutoring because I know how much a tutor's patience one-on-one can make the difference. I love sharing my study tips and test-taking strategies so they can study efficiently and make the best use of their time to get that desired result. I want students to feel heard and supported and help them find methods best suited to them. I want to help students enjoy learning and find more confidence in themselves through mastering tough subject matter.

6+ Years Tutoring

I started tutoring my junior year at the Franklin and Marshall College Writing Center after submitting three writing samples and undergoing an extensive interview process. During my two years as a tutor, I assisted my fellow students with various writing assignments across multiple disciplines. My skills span the many stages of the writing process: from brainstorming for ideas to evaluating the logic of an argument to checking for grammar and spelling.From this experience I know that the hallmark of a great tutor is the ability to listen first before asking a multitude of questions. This philosophy allows for the pupil to show his or her understanding of the assignment and subject matter before the tutor makes any assumptions. As a result, the tutor can tailor an individual strategy for each student that targets specific needs or areas for improvement.I would welcome the opportunity to work with you on improving your writing as well as instructing you in the social sciences, including all levels of US and European history. And when we're done with our session, I'd be happy to tell you more about my other passions - my family, baseball, and traveling.

Tutoring is an opportunity for students to supplement their learning in a one-on-one atmosphere that provides the learner with personalized assistance to remediate and extend knowledge. As a former teacher and current student, I know that everyone learns differently, and therefore, I am here to provide tutoring sessions catered to an individual’s learning style. In addition, I believe that our knowledge is built on a foundation of critical thinking and problem solving regardless of the course at hand.Over the past three years, I have taught middle school math and science, and additionally, these are my favorite subjects to tutor. I enjoy applying mathematics to business and science concepts, such as stock markets and physics. I believe that math is understood best through applicable examples.Currently, I am a computer science master’s student at the University of Pittsburgh. I recently graduated from John’s Hopkins University with a master’s in secondary education, and prior to this, I earned my bachelor of science in industrial engineering at the University of Pittsburgh.Beyond learning and tutoring, I enjoy being outdoors and doing activities, such as camping, biking, hiking, and kayaking. Also, I listen to a wide variety of music, and I go to concerts as frequently as possible.

I am currently a junior college student at the University of Pittsburgh, where I study molecular biology and anthropology. My two areas of specialties, one in the sciences and the other in humanities provides me with a diverse and holistic background to education. I have loved the experience of tutoring students from all age groups. I mentored high school students in the disciplines of chemistry and physics, middle school children, and college students in the discipline of General Biology. Tutoring is very dear and near to my heart as I have in my journey been blessed with amazing teachers who have helped me along the way to become better. Through tutoring, I have been able to identify my passions in lifescience and in particularly biology. Tutoring can not only improve one's academic performance, but also open multiple doors of opportunity. It personally has for me and I couldn't be more thankful; it is one of the reasons that I am involved in tutoring. I've always loved working in academia as seen students growing and developing is rewardingI was once that person who benefited immensely from tutoringseeing someone else improve and reach for their goals is almost magical. As such, I am motivated to help othersa mission in my life and a larger goal as I hope to one day become a doctor.My main teaching philosophy is to help students learn and identity fundamental techniques that they can then apply to future problems and situations. While I believe that content-based learning is crucial, I also believe that learning the principle skillsets and analytical techniques fares much better in the long run. Hence, I will strive to both address content-level and application-based techniques to best help students.Moreover, I am a firm believer in active learningthis means utilizing different sources of media (i.e textbook, YouTube videos, animations, graphs, images, etc) to best learn conceptsparticularly in science.My specialties include tutoring in the STEM (Science, technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) field. STEM is a huge part in my life as I am currently a research assistant at the Vascular Institute of Medicine focusing on the intersectionality of Type 2 Diabetes and Immunology. I love being on the forefront of discovery as I get to apply the information that I have learned in the classroom to help better understand chronic diseases. My interest outside of tutoring and academia is placed heavily around sports. I love playing and watching basketball with my friends and familyit is an experience that brings everyone together. I also love cooking and making new recipescross-cultural understanding and awareness is a big part of my life and cooking is a tasty way of understanding someone else's culture.

Elizabeth
MS University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus • BA Grand Valley State University
8+ Years Tutoring

I have received a BS in Cell and Molecular Biology with a minor in History from Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, MI. I am currently pursuing a MS in Infectious Disease and Microbiology with an emphasis in counter bioterrorism from the University of Pittsburgh. I first began tutoring a girl with cerebral palsy who was unable to write and worked with her for over ten years and watched her progress to writing letters to full sentences. I also helped her with simple math and reading abilities. In high school I was a part of the National Honor Society and for community service I volunteered at the local elementary school where I helped K-5 with spelling, phonics, reading, math, and science. Students of varying age groups would sit at one table and I would help each one individually, staying on my toes going from one subject to the next. In high school I was also the associate editor of our school news magazine for two years and I took several Advanced Placement classes- US History, European History, English Language and Composition, Biology, BC Calculus, and US Government and Politics. In high school I was also a TA for an AP government and politics class where I helped students with their work in class. At Grand Valley I tutored a young boy in reading for two years, grades 3-5. He was uninterested in the things they read at school, but loved history and bugs; so to improve his reading skills he would read encyclopedia entries about bugs or short history stories to me. I made sure he was enunciating correctly, sounding out words properly, and not skipping over words. I was also a TA for a microbiology lab class, there I taught students how to focus microscopes and assisted with experimental procedures.I have confidence in tutoring a wide range of subjects and ages because I love to learn and love helping others learn. Seeing someone struggle for so long and have them finally ‘get it’ is amazing to watch as their confidence grows and they blossom as a person. My favorite subjects to teach are History, Geography, Cell and Molecular Biology, and Microbiology. I find science in general a fascinating subject because I enjoy understanding how our world functions and how everything interacts. History I enjoy attempting to understand how certain events happened and how those events shaped the future. In general I enjoy understanding how something works at the basic level because I think it gives me a better understanding of things further down the line; whether that be understanding how a cell functions in an organism or how we pronounce certain letters to form a word.I think that the key to successful learning is making whatever subject you are studying relevant to you, or if you are tutoring making that subject interesting and applicable to the student. For example, you can use baseball metaphors in geometry if the student is interested in sports or the functions of a cell to working parts of an engine if the student enjoys cars. I understand that some students are auditory learners and work better with pneumonic devices, while others are visual learners and work best with concept maps or flashcards. It is critical to tailor my style to each student’s needs and interests in order to help them succeed. The way I explained multiplying decimals may not work the next week when I try to explain multiplying fractions, for example, I have to be malleable to the student’s needs.Outside of school and studying I enjoy hiking, nature photography, baking, cooking, and dancing. I also enjoy reading a wide variety of books including biographies, fiction, nonfiction, historical fiction, mystery, war, and romance. My favorite book is Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith because he wrote in such a way that was refreshing and the story line kept you guessing and actively engaged.

I graduated the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Politics & Philosophy, and I moved to Cleveland to teach. I've spent the last three years in classrooms with the last year dedicated to subbing and working with different types of students and in different subjects. Most of my experience comes in teaching Reading and Writing, and I have helped students of all ages improve both their real life skills in those subject areas and their test scores. I have also tutored kids who did not speak English to help them increase their speaking and writing skills. I can tutor math up to Algebra II, and I have experience teaching math in the classroom. Lastly, I can tutor in the Social Sciences, particularly AP Government and AP US History, as I majored in those subjects in college.I really enjoy tutoring test prep subjects, because the time spent applying for college is so exciting and stressful. It is very easy to create a goal and work toward it when a student already has their sights set on a particular college, and I love being a part of that process. I like to think of myself as a goal-oriented tutor, helping my client pick out the thing that he or she wants by the end of our sessions and driving toward it. I also believe in meeting my client where they are in their subject matter and helping them learn in their particular individual style. It does not matter how my client learns, whether it is verbal or visual or even kinesthetic--I try to accommodate and ensure that they know the material the way they will remember it best.Aside from teaching, my interests include music and cooking. I grew up listening to punk rock, and in the process, I learned to play guitar and drums. At this point though, I listen to just about everything including hip-hop, electronic music, country, and pop. I also enjoy cooking and learning to make cuisines from other cultures. Lately, I have been trying to master Lebanese food. Lastly, I like to travel. I have been all over the USA and Western Europe, and I have even made it to the Middle East.

Although my Bachelor's Degree is in Rehabilitation Science from the University of Pittsburgh, and I plan to become a physical therapist, I am passionate about giving back in one of the most important ways that I know: through education. And it is my goal (and hope) to make learning fun! I grew up with School House Rock and many other learning videos that I can still recite, because, for me, it was fun. In the past, I have helped students come up with cheers, chants, rhymes, and even dances to help remember a concept. While in Pittsburgh, I volunteered at the Shadyside Boys & Girls Club for three years, where I had the opportunity to help mentor and tutor elementary- and middle-school aged children. I've helped students tackle subjects ranging from reading comprehension and vocabulary to Algebra and many others in between. I have also helped high school and college students with essay writing and editing, including proofreading for grammar and spelling, syntax, paragraph structure, and maintaining tense, point-of-view, and voice. My tutoring style is very interactive and cooperative, where I allow the student to walk me through their thinking process as I share with them tricks, tips, and mnemonics. I often refer to the quote of "teaching a person how to fish" rather than just giving them the fish.I am very flexible as far as scheduling and availability, I am reliable and punctual, and I am resourceful. In my free time, I love to stay active through soccer, running, and dance. I also really enjoy music whether it's live concerts or performances, videos, or the radio. Since moving back to Atlanta, I am also really interested in exploring all the city has to offer.

I have tutored students of all ages through many programs over the past four years. I believe that in order to learn successfully, one has to be willing to challenge the status quo. In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis, hiking, practicing various musical instruments, and "nerding out" with some retro videogames.

I currently attend the University of Pittsburgh and have almost completed a double major in Biological Sciences and Spanish with a minor in Chemistry. In high school, I also completed the International Baccalaureate program and completed some AP classes as well. My career plans are to go to medical school and become a physician. I have scored A's in all my classes, so I hope to help you score well in your classes as well! I mainly specialize in tutoring any type of Biology, Chemistry, Human Physiology, or Spanish course. I also tutor for standardized tests, such as the SAT and the MCAT. I recently took the MCAT and scored very high on the science sections (132 Psych, 131 Chem/Phys, 129 Bio), so I would be a good resource for MCAT material as well.In terms of tutoring experience, I am a Teaching Assistant at my university in various biology and chemistry courses. I have also taught guitar and piano lessons at my studio. I specialize in classical piano and guitar and also flamenco guitar, but I can definitely teach the basics of those instruments or other genres.

If learning Spanish hasnt changed your perspective on life, you arent learning it correctly. Acquiring a new language implies considering routines, events, communication, and culture from a new mindset and lifestyle. To do this, language learning must stem from cultural insight and appreciating the linguistic elements as a meaningful expression within a culture.

I believe in teaching so that my student learns the material in a way he/she is comfortable with. Anyone can impart knowledge but a good teacher imparts knowledge in the most compatible way so that the student doesn't just learn, the student will understand.
