...his time availability, which does fluctuate. Rather than teaching you mnemonics and helping you to memorize without understanding, as is common in the health sciences, David will help you to understand the material, so that you don't need to memorize, except when absolutely necessary. As an example, if you to learn which ECG leads show pathology in which parts of the heart, you can do this by learning the electrophysiology and deriving what shows what...

...that contributes to my success as a tutor is my ability to work with all kinds of people. Growing up in Portland, Oregon and going to college in Durham, North Carolina, I have not only been exposed to a diversity of people, but I have also had the chance to work as part of a team in many different settings. From helping my peers with problem sets in my biochemistry class to conducting spelling and...

...the field of STEM. I am here to show students that they are capable and give them opportunities to utilize unique methods and techniques to approaching problems/concepts that may endure beyond one's schooling years.

I've done neuroscience research at the Jungers Center for Neuroscience Reseach and the Oregon National Primate Research Center. I've also done molecular biology research at the Oregon Stem Cell Center.

...the difference I was making seemed to have a real impact. This opportunity prompted me to continue tutoring. My experience working in a high school showed me how different each student’s ability in any given area can be. The understanding that each student learns differently and therefore requires a different approach was an important lesson that I learned through my time tutoring in Springfield. I believe that any help in a student’s studies can be...

...percussion for a local high school marching band. While I tutor a variety of math and science topics, my favorite subjects are chemistry and physics, as I love exploring the ways in which the world works. Education is of the highest importance to me, and I wish to share this passion with my students. In my spare time, I like to read suspense novels, play a variety of string instruments, and play Legend of Zelda.

I also have extensive public speaking experience and have mentored several people in developing/refining this skill. Additionally, I have done considerable work in writing mentorship ranging from college application essays to manuscripts. I have edited all my undergraduate's medical and graduate school essays, and I'm very...

...that I enjoy problem-solving and connecting with students. I believe each student already has the tools within them to improve upon their academic performance.

As a tutor, I ground my work in grace, accountability, and a commitment to excellence. Ultimately, I recognize the doors education and tutoring can open with regards to degree advancement, and more...

...Minor in Chemistry in 2016, and recently applied to medical school. I am passionate and comfortable with any type of science, specifically biology, chemistry, and Anatomy & Physiology. I have experience with all types of teaching styles that can appeal to any type of learner, and am comfortable working with students one on one or in groups. Outside of academics, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, exercising, and being outside, whether it...

...as well as working with students of all ages with math, science, and English. I love creating an interactive learning environment where the student and I work together towards solving problems rather than just lecturing. I feel the best way to learn something is to do it, and I hope that we can work together towards understanding rather than memorization. Whatever the topic, I hope to be a resource that you can utilize to truly...

...learned from coaching my amazing clients lend themselves extremely well to tutoring. My teaching philosophy is that there are as many ways to learn as there are students. Learning how to teach each student in their own unique "learning language" is my favorite part of tutoring! We study smart, using tools that make sense to their thought process, instead of studying traditionally long and hard using standard methods (textbook reading, anyone?) Watch the frustration and...

...utilizing my resources, and organization for academic success. Medical school allowed me the opportunity to dissect cadavers for one year, which greatly benefited my knowledge of human anatomy. My other areas of expertise include physiology, microbiology, and immunology. As a tutor, I want to encourage enthusiasm and share the reward of academic accomplishment. My ultimate goal is to become a board certified naturopathic oncologist. Aside from studying I enjoying hiking, skiing, painting, reading, and cooking....

...was capable of. Chemistry, and mathematics are such daunting subjects, I never imagined I would be able to grasp them, after all academics were not my strong suit. Through hard work, endless study sessions, and a blossoming passion I was able to prevail and call myself a scientist. My dream is to one day become a professor of biochemistry; a pursuit near to my heart. Biochemical interpretations of the world around us fascinate me, and...

...chemistry research, and graduated summa cum laude. Now that I???ve graduated, I???m applying and interviewing for medical school, volunteering in the rural, underserved community as an EMT on an ambulance, and helping young children with special needs in an impoverished city. A lot of people ask me why I chose medicine. One reason why I???m pursuing medicine is because I???m passionate about teaching others, and that???s why I???m here, because I truly enjoy it. I...

...always about the self-esteem of the student. Learning is a lifelong process. Each teaching situation is an opportunity to influence positively how a student sees him or herself as a learner. Learning takes place over the course of a school year, semester, quarter, week, or in a five minute time frame (such as with a substitute teacher). The math problem or the causes of the American Revolution may be what the student is learning but...

...that I'm not so far removed from playing the role a student myself, and I remember the struggle of encountering tough material for the very first time. I like to keep that perspective in mind when I meet with students; my tutoring style is focused on building up from strong foundational principles, rather than drilling material into one ear so it can spill out the other. I'm striving to reach that "aha" moment, when the...

...myself that I understood that my learning style didn't match up with some of my professors' teaching styles. It's just too bad that it took me until college to realize it. Teaching a large class, even one that seems smaller (30-40 students), is incredibly difficult when everyone learns in a different way. Usually professors and teachers will use a method that most students can understand, and hope for the best. But what happens when you're...

Certain subjects can be extremely daunting and I will work to help you tackle those areas with...
