...Biology, Ecology, Genetics and Anatomy/Physiology. In my experience helping struggling students I have found that the best way to learn is to have fun while you are learning and to make it apply to the real world. I am a firm supporter of education, and I believe that it can be fun and if I can kindle a love for learning, I will. In my spare time, I spend as much time outside playing with...

...I have tutored Math, Science, Spanish, English, etc., from elementary school through college. The reason I think I manage to be successful in helping others is that I recognize the different types of learning styles. Some individuals are verbal learners (like me), others are physical learners, and others have even different styles of learning (there are seven recognized types of learning). Teachers can attempt to teach to different learning styles, but sometimes trying to accommodate...

My specific academic strengths are ecology, evolution, genetics, biological anthropology and archaeology. My interests in these topics were heightened when I had the opportunity to participate in a study abroad program in Kenya. I was able to extensively study and explore the ecological, archaeological and geological uniqueness of the Turkana region of Kenya. On my down time I...

I believe that math and science are key in getting further in education, which in itself is invaluable.

In addition, I am strongly suited to tutor in anatomy &...

...multiple classmates, friends, acquaintances, and family members in almost every subject. I now tutor people in math, chemistry, and anatomy. Math, however, is my favorite subject to tutor. There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone finally realize the difference between sine and cosine or finish a homework problem that has trapped them for hours. I tutor in a style of patience and confidence building. I firmly believe that with enough practice and self-confidence, anyone...

...in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Arizona. I've been on academic probation and truly understand what it's like to struggle with material. That struggle helps me to be a better teacher. I start medical school this fall, which goes to show that it does not matter if you have a difficult start. What does matter is how you choose to respond to challenges and what you do to overcome them.

...that motivating students to learn on their own as well as in class, through reward based incentives, helps them to absorb and retain the material. I often offer students extra credit questions on previously missed exam questions. This technique allows for the student to strive for more points, allows them to fix mistakes they may have already made, and they can take a second look at the material. I believe that if you give students...

Currently I am in my 3rd year of Naturopathic medical school and loving it! I hope to...
