...SATs and the LSAT. More and more people asked me to tutor their children, so I contacted Varsity tutors to extend my reach to people who did not know me personally. My style is energetic and engaging. As a trial attorney, I routinely have to communicate complex matters to a jury that has no experience in the fields of chemistry, biology and physics. This forces me to adopt an engaging style to ensure they do...

...reach their goals, frequently pushing them to exceed their expectations. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring all that Arizona has to offer -- it's so different from the east coast that I just can't get enough of it!

...range of sciences. While graduating summa cum laude with a degree in Biological Sciences, I've been fortunate to gain significant experience in tutoring ALL LEVELS of students from elementary school to undergraduate. Through these endeavors, I've grown incredibly passionate about mentoring aspiring college/medical students and teaching them the essentials of crafting a competitive application (personal statement/resume/extracurriculars). My favorite aspect of tutoring is fostering a 1-on-1 connection with my students and truly adapting to their specific...

...I have held two very different chemistry based jobs (one that I am currently in now) since graduation in which I test drinking water and foods for a vast array of microbial agents and chemical compounds that are dangerous to the public. Using my experience in both academics, research and in my career, I have been able to tie in real world problems and solutions to students I have taught and tutored, and hope I...

...carious genres (thriller, murder mystery, and horror) and hope to get them published someday. My approach to tutoring is to help ensure that the student has a solid understanding of the fundamentals of what they're learning. While it may be possible to get through a class by memorizing seemingly disjointed facts, students will have a much easier time learning and remembering information if they understand why it's important in the first place, and how it...

...State University as a Health Sciences major. While at ASU I had the opportunity to work at the Downtown Student Success Center for two years as a supplemental instructor.

My favorite subject to teach was Anatomy/Physiology, but I also enjoyed most math and sciences courses especially General and Organic Chemistry. In my spare time, I enjoy competing in all types of sports, reading a...

...Science with a specialization in Neuroscience from the University of California San Diego. Between my undergraduate education and medical school education, I tutored high school students in a variety of subjects, including Algebra, Chemistry, Biology, and Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, because it is one that students struggle with a lot, and it makes me happy to see a student grasp a concept they have worked hard to understand. I believe that...

...like to have fun with what I learn and pass on the experience to those I teach/tutor. In addition to my experience in a college classroom, I do in-home therapy work with children with disabilities.

...My students achieved top scores, despite the fact that each encountered different obstacles during their preparation. I have learned that tutoring is incredibly dynamic: every student is different in their capabilities and learning style. As a tutor, I strive to develop a strong rapport with each group and their families in order to tailor my teaching approach to the group's energy. In my spare time, I love being outdoors (running, hiking, swimming) to enjoy the...

...during my undergrad, I have provided private tutoring in a variety of subjects over the last 12 years. This, combined with experience from instructing four university courses during my graduate studies, has allowed me to develop what I like to believe is an effective teaching style, focused on addressing outcomes both short-term (passing a test) and long-term (learning fundamental concepts relevant to future courses). When I’m not busy with work, I enjoy exercising, mostly running...

...is fun, helpful, but also logical. Students learn best when subjects are broken down into simple, easy-to-understand steps. That's my teaching style, taking concepts and moving forward one step at a time. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities and playing sports. Basketball, hiking, swimming, and reading are a few of my hobbies. I'm a driven and passionate individual that loves to see progress. I can't wait to get a chance to work with...

...MBA thesis candidates. I tutor technical high school subjects like Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, as well as Writing and English. My tutoring philosophy is simple: work my way out of a job as quickly as possible. Give the student study skills, tools and confidence to get to their desired level of competence on their own. I don't give answers; we find them together. I try to add realism and practicality to the sometimes dry, theoretical learning...

...an emergency medical scribe, where I work in 3 different ER's throughout Phoenix, AZ. My philosophy towards learning is simple: everything is connected. To me, whatever the concept may be, it is not about learning the facts or knowing what the answer is, it is about seeing the bigger picture and understanding how those concepts fit in with our larger body of knowledge. Learning is a process and knowledge comes with both failure and success....
