My dreams and aspirations are around science and medicine.Even though my career has taken various turns, my passion was in teaching. I completed my high school diploma and graduated from Palmetto Senior High. I got into Miami Dade College, where I enrolled in the science department and majored in biology.During my first semester at Miami Dade College, I won a full tennis scholarship, which helped with tuition and books. After graduating with an Associate of Arts degree, I won another tennis scholarship to St. Thomas University.There, I completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. As an athlete, I traveled frequently. I was fortunate to experience many different cultures and meet people of various backgrounds. It has enabled me to be flexible and versatile to unexpected turns and twists in life. Maturity provided a stable ground that kept me in the direction I face today.During my college attendance, I volunteered for Jackson Memorial and Baptist Hospital of Miami. It was there that I devoted my time and energy to humanity. I developed a vast understanding of the world of medicine. I volunteered many hours in The Burn Center, Trauma Unit, Pediatric, ICU, ER, and Pathology.cI then got accepted to Barry University, where I received a Master's degree in biomedical sciences. The education and experience I have received have given me the confidence, knowledge, and well-rounded background in medicine and science.I then entered medical college (Xavier University School of Medicine), which provides the knowledge and art of healing the human body. It encompassed many healthcare practices developed to sustain and restore an individual's health.I finally graduated with my MD degree. I could not imagine not being a part of such an exciting, exhilarating, and rewarding field as science and medicine.

My goal is to get my students to the point where they no longer need me. I like to focus on the underlying concepts so that students can apply what we learn in our sessions to problems they haven't seen before. After our sessions, my students should be able to have a concrete plan when attempting a new problem and be able to extrapolate their knowledge of concepts to master the details.

I graduated from The City College of the City University of New York with a degree in Biotechnology, and Chemistry Research Honors. Since graduation, I have been working as a research fellow in an HIV lab at the National Institutes of Health. Throughout my undergraduate degree, I served as an SAT volunteer tutor for students from low-income communities. I especially liked how the help I offered to these motivated students propelled them to higher scores and great colleges. I have also served as an Introductory and advanced Chemistry and Math tutor for college students for many years. As a first-generation college graduate, I believe it is my calling to go to every length to make students succeed. My favorite activities outside academics is watching and playing soccer (football) and basketball.

I am a dedicated college student passionate about learning and teaching. I have years of experience in tutoring and am able to offer valuable study methods, tips, tricks. I look forward to making a difference and gaining valuable experiences learning from others.

I am a highly motivated, well-rounded third year pre-med student currently attending the University of South Florida (USF), in Tampa, Florida, majoring in Biomedical Sciences. I am a prospective medical school student, in hopes of matriculating Fall 2018.Growing up as a military child, my family and I moved every 3 to 4 years to a new area where we would have to establish new friendships and relationships with people in similar situations. However, once my father retired from the United States Marine Corps, he was given an opportunity to work on a small military base in the Caribbean, known as Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In such a geographically secluded area, with very limited resources, it was difficult to explore avenues of interest, such as: sports, hobbies and most importantly, excelling in education.My interest for medicine started when I was in late elementary, early middle school. STEM courses and interesting science channels, out of the measly 10 channels available to us, really sparked my interest of the body. Throughout high school, I involved myself with leadership and volunteering throughout the community, whether it was being NHS and Class Presidents or being part of the Disaster Team for the Red Cross or helping the elder Cuban Immigrants in the hospital. Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to shadow physicians on base, due to the countless regulations imposed by the government. However, my curiosity and excitement for medicine was about to spark even higher, once I received my acceptance letter to attend the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa Bay, Florida.I will never forget the cultural shock that I experienced after moving to the United States after living on a secluded, low population military base for 15 years. It was during my orientation, a week before my first semester started, where I really noticed how different I was from everyone else. As soon I was walked into the atrium, I noticed everyone was on his or her phone. They were gingerly texting away to their friends, surfing the web, and sending countless Snap Chats about their first day of orientation. Me on the other hand, I felt lost. Back where I use to live, whenever we saw someone new or did not known anyone at all, we introduced ourselves and either showed them around or asked to be shown around. Here, it was the complete opposite. As I saw it, texting was their safe haven, where they did not have to experience the awkwardness associated with being in a whole new environment. So, I did as I would have done back home. I got up, tucked away from anxiety-driven safe haven into my pocket and attempted to meet new people and as a result, I got to meet my current best friends and roommates.Now what about school? Well, majoring in Biomedical Sciences (BMS) with a minor in Psychology, I was able to explore a plethora of material-dense classes, of which not only made me reconsider why I wanted to become a doctor, but also strengthened the interest I had for the body. Such complex mechanisms, pathways, equations and weird correlations really made want to delve into more difficult classes that could thoroughly describe them. Some of which, really kicked my butt, but at the end of the day I had a thorough understanding of the material I was interested in. Besides academia, community involvement through research and volunteering truly epitomized the trek I ardently desire to pursue. Most notably, research internships at both the Moffitt Cancer Research Center and Byrds Alzheimers institute really gave me the opportunity to excel and understand the Experimental Method, as well as giving me the opportunity to work with patients and patient information, but to also work with many knowledgeable individuals who are not afraid to lend a hand to teach you something new. As for community involvement through volunteering, I have been highly involved in the USF Rugby team, a Medical Fraternity (AED), a student mentor for middle/high school students, and still a proud member of the Red Cross Disaster Team. In every one of these affiliations, I am able to work alongside many like-minded, motivationally driven people for the betterment of the Tampa community.College has been a wonderful experience for me and has given me the opportunity to truly understand why I aspire to be a doctor. Prior to college, I always believed that medicine was only about the patient and the doctor. I had assumed that physicians would prescribe or recommend the best treatment for their condition, to ensure the best and most ideal outcome without any further considerations of families, customs and traditions. Of course, I never had a negative connotation associated with doctors, it was just the fact that I was never able to shadow one and see how much more there was to being a doctor than to just have a good GPA and test scores. Till recently, I have discovered that medicine is universal, involving everyone around you. The people you meet throughout your undergraduate career, the Principle Investigators (PIs) and researchers you work for, and the families of patients you get the opportunity to meet throughout shadowing, allows one to transition from a self-centered, egocentric point of view, towards a more morally-developed allocentric persona.

I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from Rice University and I am currently a first-year medical student at the Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis.I am very passionate about learning and love discovering new facts/ information. This also extends to watching students grow and become experts at subjects they initially struggled with.

I graduated as valedictorian of my high school, then graduated from Duke University with a bachelor's in Neuroscience, and have just recently graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a master's in Biotechnology. I have worked as a research technologist at Johns Hopkins Medicine and I am now a medical student at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.I have thirteen years of tutoring experience, in subjects ranging from math, test prep, Spanish, and violin. I train in martial arts and I enjoy learning languages in my free time. I have volunteered as a Spanish medical interpreter at local clinics.Feel free to contact me at any time if you have questions. I look forward to working with you!

Hi, my name is Shona and I am 22 years old and a recent graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University. I studied Biology and General Science as my majors, and Chemistry and Psychology as my minors when in college. These are my strongest tutoring subjects, however as a current applicant to medical school for the Fall 2018, I am also proficient in many levels of Mathematics up to Calculus 1 and used to be a Teacher's Assistant for College Algebra as well as an Academic Tutor at my university's Campus Learning Center for 3 semesters each. I am passionate about helping students achieve their full learning potential and hope to be able to assist your needs or your child's needs along their academic journey.

I am a great tutor, because I am able to craft and implement lesson plans designed for individual students, as well as facilitate group sessions. I have experience teaching Supplemental Instruction at Auburn University, where in addition to lecture materials, I provided study skills and academic success strategies to my students. I am a National Merit and National Hispanic Scholar, and I received a full Academic Presidential Scholarship plus stipends at Auburn. I consistently score well on standardized tests, and I am able to use and share my test-taking skills and strategies.

I am a teacher and I have taught at elementary and middle schools in Boston for 4 years. I have tutored for over 7 years! I majored in education at Boston College. My favorite part of teaching is getting to know students and creating course materials that engage students to make learning fun and accessible. I mainly tutor math and Chinese. I believe that each student is fully capable of understanding material. It just depends on how the material is presented to them. My goal is to meet each student where they are at, and support them in learning the way they learn best!
