I am looking to help students understand and learn whatever materials they are having trouble with. I have tutored for roughly 2 years while I was in high school. I'm currently in my third year of studying Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University. I would like to aid students in any way possible.... I teach students through examples and problem solving.... I would ask the student to go over what topics he/she needs help on. I would...

...joy in helping others achieve their academic goals. I believe a teacher must be patient with their students and truly understand what issues they face in order to effectively communicate with them. I strive to cultivate a positive teaching environment that inspires my students with the same passion for learning that I have. I have recently focused on tutoring standardized tests including the GRE, SAT and ACT. I most enjoy tutoring the GRE because of...

...pre-medical track and minored in Math. I'm an experienced standardized test taker, and I am passionate about helping students achieve their academic potential! I have tutored elementary school through college students in reading comprehension, math, SAT prep, and chemistry, and even started an afterschool engineering program for elementary school students. I am a strong proponent of framing intelligence as a muscle that is strengthened over time rather than an innate characteristic. While I'm not tutoring,...

...tests. My basic outlook on education is that 1. Everyone is intelligent and capable of learning 2. People have diverse interests and passions 3. Everyone learns in a unique way. If we spend our time following our passions and figuring out what learning style works best for us, than our education can be transformative. One of the primary problems of our education system is the lack of individualized learning time, and personal relationship building between...

...tutoring, I began tutoring community college students in math and science when I was in high school. At Stanford I continued my work as a private tutor, focusing in particular on high school math and science. In addition, the summer after my sophomore year at Stanford, I worked part-time as a psychology and chemistry tutor for Stanford students taking summer term courses. I look forward to continuing tutoring in the Philadelphia area.... There is significant evidence...

...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...

...broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Mathematics (all branches from Algebra to Calculus) and Science (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics). As a high school student, I vividly remember preparing for the SAT and hope to use the tactics that I learned to help other students who may need improvement! I firmly believe in helping students and adapting to their individual needs and skill sets. In my spare time, I love to watch football...

Hi! My name is Claire and I'm excited about the opportunity to work with you! I graduated from Amherst College in 2015 with a degree chemistry and plan to matriculate to medical school this August. I'm comfortable tutoring elementary- through college-level science, math, English and Spanish and have significant test-prep experience, including SAT, AP and MCAT exams.

...also my favorite subjects to teach. It is so satisfying for both the student and I to see the student's hard work come to fruition through a good test score or just a clearly better understanding of the topic. Learning should be fun - not just sitting at a table cramming information into your head. I try to take this approach with my tutoring and hope that each student has fun during our session! In...

...both my biology major and pre-medical track, I have taken biology, chemistry, physics, organic chemistry, human physiology, biochemistry, genetics, and other upper level science courses. I have received A's in each one of these classes. I truly understand the importance of academic success, and I am excited to have the opportunity to help others reach their maximum potential. I have also been selected to be a teaching assistant for physics, which will provide me with...

...my Master's degree in Architecture. Due to some personal exposure I had to family illness, I decided to switch paths and pursue a career in medicine, and I'll be applying to medical school next year. I've been helping students with physics, math, and SAT prep since college, and more recently I've been focusing on tutoring pre-medical subjects (Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, Physics, Psychology/Sociology) and MCAT preparation. I understand how intimidating the mighty MCAT can...

...residents Having gone through the rigors of the college and medical school application process (including taking the required standardized tests), I'm very familiar with both the content and the test taking process. For the last two years I've served as a teaching assistant to the first year medical students in the Gross Anatomy course. During my time at Bryn Mawr I tutored students who were struggling in the basic sciences (physics, biology, chemistry and organic...

...hurdles. Now a laboratory manager and technician in a leading neuroscience laboratory in Philadelphia with a Master's Degree in Pharmacology, I'm interested in helping students as they work through their own struggles to grasp key concepts in their math and science courses. With a strong background in writing, and years of experience tutoring writing skills at Penn State University and as the new editor of Philly's Two.One.Five Magazine, I am also available to help students...

...recently, I have tutored high school students in Biology, Chemistry and Algebra. My favorite subject to tutor is Biology because it explains so much of nature and of human life. I love to cater my teaching style according to my student's need by making the subject matter interesting for them and relating it to the things that interest them the most to keep them engaged. My interests include playing tennis, scrapbooking, snowboarding, hiking, birdwatching, traveling,...

I am fluent in Spanish and Russian having studied Russian at Middlebury College's intensive summer immersion program. I have used my Bachelors in neuroscience in hospital and laboratory settings since graduation in 2012 and love following the latest research. My goals in tutoring are to help students break down overwhelming material into manageable pieces,...

...a translator for physicians. I also lived in Madrid, Spain for a month where I attended a Language Immersion Study Abroad program. Through these experiences, I have become extremely proficient and conversational in Spanish and love helping students learn this invaluable language. I am a firm believer that all students learn differently and identifying how each student best learns is essential to his/her academic success. Therefore, as a tutor, I aim to specifically tailor my...

...effective way possible. My favorite subject to teach is math, specifically the SAT/ACT math sections. As someone who values education and intellectual curiosity, I hope to impose this same philosophy on my students.

I am a very flexible tutor willing to work around students' schedules.

...classroom and had a really great time working with the students, getting to know them, and helping them to grasp new ideas and concepts. It was a joy to watch them learn and share the pride they exhibited in their newfound knowledge. One method I found to be particularly effective was to break complex concepts down into simpler parts and help the student to organize those parts in a way that made more sense to...

...the sciences, I incorporate them into my everyday life and teach with enthusiasm and creativity. I recognize that every student has different styles and rates of learning, so I cater my lessons to best align with each student. I will never ask my students to work beyond their capabilities, but I will strive to show them they are capable of far more than they may initially think. Through providing an interactive and engaging teaching environment,...
