...a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or...

I currently attend the University of Chicago, where I major in Political Science and Biology. When I'm not spending hours reading Nietzsche, I'm doing improv comedy and graphic design. I'm currently pursuing a career in advertising/consulting, and in my spare time I eat mini tacos and watch Louis CK stand-up comedy. ... Teaching is about taking something complex and making it easy to understand. I like to focus a lot on students' questions, as they give...

I graduated from Oklahoma Bible Academy and am currently a sophomore pre-pharmacy major at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. I tutor math, science, English, and Literature, including AP subjects in all of these areas. My favorite subjects are chemistry and math.

...concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. My approach with these tests emphasizes strategy over content; a particular vocabulary word may or may not appear on the actual test, but knowledge...

...of visual learning. As a tutor, I try to figure out why a student does not understand a concept and immediately try to tailor my approach to fulfill that student's needs. I help the student relate science to their daily lives using stories and examples so he or she may gain a better understanding of the material. I have taken this integrative approach myself when studying for my college classes as well as any standardized...
