...and Developmental Biology. I have tutored college students extensively throughout the past three years. I enjoy research and have conducted three studies, one of which was focused on the effectiveness of tutoring methods in the sciences. In my experience, learning how to study effectively can result in significant improvements, and I have extensive experience in this area both through working with students and research. As such, my goal is to help my students become more...

...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 not tune me out....

...favorite subjects to tutor would have to be MCAT Biological sciences and Life Sciences. These subjects are near and dear to me as I recently (2011) took the MCAT exam for entrance into medical school and my undergraduate major was in Life Sciences.

By engaging students in interactive discussions, I encourage curiosity and...

...I think contributes to my effectiveness as a tutor. I also try to incorporate my research experience at institutions like the NIH into my tutoring in these areas, using real-world examples from cutting-edge research and scientific communication skills gleaned from poster sessions and academic publications to supplement the teaching experience. Outside the sciences, I also have two years of experience working with a student individually in the humanities. I started with this student in 8th...

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! I also like taking my telescope out into the desert to try my hand at amateur astronomy and photography, experimenting in the kitchen, and cycling. When I'm not out and about, I can frequently be found curled...

...at ASU I had the opportunity to work at the Downtown Student Success Center for two years as a supplemental instructor. Most of my students were pre-med or studying to become nurses.

In my spare time, I enjoy competing in all types of sports, reading a good book and taking a ride on my...

...have mentored students of varied academic backgrounds and achievement levels, I worked to build organization, time management, and study skills, for my student-athletes while working to maintain high academic and personal standards and motivation. Even to this day, as a practicing physician, my passion towards teaching and tutoring is fueled by interactions with 3rd and 4th year medical students rotating through their clinicals, however I miss the opportunity to teach students with varied academic backgrounds....

...him/her in a way that is conducive with his/her learning style. This is where a tutor, particularly one capable of recognizing this need, comes in. In my free time I like to watch movies and read. I also enjoy drawing and painting. When I’m feeling particularly adventurous, I like to go rockclimbing and skydiving (anything to get my adrenaline going!). I enjoy being outside, unless it’s terribly hot. And most of all, I love trying...

...worked as a student researcher in a physics lab, where I had to collaborate with my colleagues to address research problems and clearly present my specific field of work to others who were less well versed in the topic. My tutoring style is based on my own educational experience. I draw on tips and tricks that teachers and professors of mine have used which really helped difficult concepts to "click" for me. Most of these...

...even behavioral/habilitation therapy including sibling interaction, self calming techniques and expressing his everyday wants and needs. To me, receiving a quality education is the key to opening the door to one's future. It creates the potential to reach goals and stir up motivation previously unknown. A good teacher has the power to change a child's life by showing them they are capable of reaching goals they never thought possible. Motivation like this starts with just...

I am a firm supporter of education, and I believe that it can...

...teaching and working one-on-one with students. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing something 'click' for a student. My interdisciplinary training in biology and materials science has taught me how to communicate complex subjects in a way that anyone can understand. I am available to tutor a variety of subjects in mathematics and biology, and I can also help my students prepare for both the verbal and quantitative sections of the GRE. I...

...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.
