...goal setting, where the tutor and the student work together to set realistic goals, and then identify the roadblocks preventing the student from achieving his or her goal. We then work together to surmount these obstacles, allowing the student to actualize his or her goal. I also try to identify the source of a student's obstacles, and work to solve these fundamental issues as well. I am a big believer in teaching someone how to...

...the Women's Sports Medicine Center. I tutor across a broad range of subjects, but I'm most passionate about middle school pre-algebra, algebra, and life sciences, as well as SAT Math test prep. My goal is to become a mentor, role model, and friend for each student. In this way, I hope to inspire more young women to feel comfortable in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) so that they may consider them as future...

...more 1-on-1. Biology always fascinated me as a student which led me to becoming a dentist. Having studied Dentistry during my dental school in India and now again in dental hygiene school at New York University I can teach the subjects effortlessly. After Biology what fascinates me and what makes me an expert in, is cooking. I lOVE to cook and feed people. It makes me really happy. After coming to the USA I have...

...[wo]man to fish and they eat for a day, teach a [wo]man to fish and they eat for a lifetime" proverb may be a bit corny and overused at this point, it is still very relevant for continued academic success. It is always a fantastic idea to ask for help when you don't understand something, but it's important that you help yourself as much as you can as well. Outside of schoolwork I play the...

...geometry and trigonometry. I can also help write papers and proofread for errors and content of any subject, and help write lab reports. I am comfortable tutoring students of any age and at any speed. I can go as slow as the student needs to, and I excel at teaching through explanations of why to help give a solid understanding of the topic rather than just feeding information to memorize. I like to read, especially...

...took me years to learn to swim. I got the stroke patterns down early but it wasn't until someone told me to exhale all the way through not just into the water but as my face is leaving the water that I really got it. The same applies to learning in school: one key idea or concept can make all the difference. My teaching style is easy going. I don't get flustered with students. We...

...the context of real world situations. I am most passionate about biology and environmental science, but I am interested in almost all subjects. I've travelled the world and lived all over the US, so I can speak to a wide range of natural wonders that I've seen first-hand. I obtained a PhD in Entomology at the University of Florida and received my BS in Biology from the University of Oregon. I have published in internationally...

...courses (especially for medical students), but with a variety of other subjects in which I have significant experience. I take great enjoyment from helping students at all levels meet (and often exceed!) their goals. Generally, I apply the principles that worked for me as a student - as well as for past students I've tutored - in order to give my students the knowledge and tools to succeed in their classes and on their exams....

...skills and much more; and tutoring High School and College students in Science. As a classroom instructor I prepared students for the MCAT exam with Examkrackers where I taught all of the exam sections (for the New MCAT); I have worked as a Teachers Assistant for Anatomy and Physiology at Cal Tech in California; and Residential Life course at The University of Hartford in Connecticut. For the past nine years I have worked in Academic...

...medical student, graduate from the Icahn School of Medicine in research and CUNY Hunter College Bachelor in Biological Sciences. I have worked as a tutor for a few years now, and my favorite subjects are English, Sciences, and History. I like working with students to figure out their interests and how it relates to their studies. Everyone has a different learning style and approach; understanding this makes a huge difference in how well they do...

...I studied biology, chemistry, physics, and Spanish with a biology major and chemistry minor. I also spent 6 weeks studying Spanish in Ecuador. I really enjoy helping others learn Spanish, and my second favorite subject would be any sort of biology or related topic. I hope to help you reach your goals by helping you work through the learning process rather than just giving answers, and hopefully we can make it interesting and even fun!

...a unique skill of being able to analyze and be alert to body language and verbal ques that may normally go unnoticed. As a graduate student pursuing medicine, I am patient and acknowledge the dedication and work ethic it takes to do well academically. In my free time, I really enjoy working with my hands and crafting, I enjoy drawing, making collages, and painting. I make handmade jewelry and it keeps me discipled to not...

...books, and scored in the 96th percentile. In conjunction with my clinical ambitions, I am also passionate about the learning environment and supportive opportunities that come with tutoring.

I am eager to translate my love for learning and promote an encouraging, comfortable, and supportive...

I enjoy helping people, which is mirrored by my volunteerism with the Trevor Project, American Cancer Society (ACS), and hospice volunteering. I am excited and enthusiastic about helping my students better understand subjects they find difficult. My goal is to show them that they can not only understand but also greatly appreciate the subject. Sincerely,...

...from Elon University, located in North Carolina. Shortly thereafter I began to work towards my PhD in the field of experimental neuroscience research. My strongest subjects include statistics, math, and the sciences. My favorite subject to tutor would have to be statistics, mostly because I have taken so many classes in this subject that it is like second nature at this point. Outside of my education, I am an avid golfer. As a scratch handicap,...

...re-learn Chinese when I moved back from Japan to China. Because my grandma served as a mentor who believed that 'I can do it', I remained confident and went from bottom of class to top. Ultimately, we will not only work on your weakness, but also develop mental and physical toughness. Tutoring experience: spent 2 years in college tutoring pre-meds in Organic chemistry, and student athletes in Physics, Biology, and Chinese. Upon graduation, I spent...

...degree in Human Biology, Health, and Society. I received a minor in Global Health. While at Cornell, I was a teaching assistant and also spent time tutoring young men for their GED exams and fellow students in Biology and Chemistry.

...all levels, particularly biology, anatomy, and physiology. I can also help prepare for standardized exams such as the SAT (both math and verbal), MCAT, and board examinations for medical school. Education, I believe, is the stepping stone to an amazing career and a fulfilling life and I hope to inspire all of my students to continue their pursuit of knowledge, regardless of grade level. The process of learning is fun, but also the multitude of...

...I also have experience working with elementary school students. While obtaining my B.S., I helped establish a program where myself, fellow students, and faculty members of the chemistry department would travel to local elementary schools to perform science experiments demonstrating basic scientific concepts to students. I am always eager to teach, and I believe my teaching style is helpful for students of all ages. I grew up playing soccer for 14 years in New Hampshire...
