My interdisciplinary training in biology and materials science has taught me how to communicate complex subjects in a way that anyone can understand. I am available to tutor a variety of subjects in mathematics and biology, and I can also help my students prepare for both the verbal and quantitative sections of the GRE. I look forward to working with you!

...I have experience as a professional copy editor. My focus when tutoring is student understanding. I believe academic goals are more readily achievable when concepts are understood, rather than formulas memorized.

Outside of school I enjoy hiking, gardening, reading, and cooking. I like to explore new ways of doing things...

...is deeply rooted in my experiences during my academic pursuit. As a student who struggled through middle school and high school, I was lucky to have encountered great tutors and mentors who aided and provided me the tools to become successful in academia and my personal life.

...goal is to instill confidence in students, develop a curiosity for the world, create a fascination for the fundamentals, and imbue motivation for learning from within the learner. I believe that every person has the capacity for any subject, and that in order to unlock the key to success, each student has to look inside themselves, with possibly help from an external source (in this example, me as a tutor!). I'm very passionate, lighthearted, and...

...Biology. Some of my favorite subjects to tutor would have to be MCAT Biological sciences and Life Sciences. These subjects are near and dear to me as I recently (2011) took the MCAT exam for entrance into medical school and my undergraduate major was in Life Sciences.

I believe these characteristics will help me tailor lessons specifically for each student, and teach them in the way that they learn best. On top...

...Reading since 1997. I love to understand something I have struggled to comprehend, and so I enjoy tutoring students to achieve a breakthrough in understanding and accomplishment. As I learn best in a visual and hands-on format this is my teaching style as well. Prior to becoming a teacher I was a business owner and licensed contractor producing rock and gravel and building roads. I am an enthusiastic proponent of Education – my own and...

On a personal level, I like to hike, cook, play rec kickball, and spend time with friends and family.... Student engagement during...

...carious genres (thriller, murder mystery, and horror) and hope to get them published someday. My approach to tutoring is to help ensure that the student has a solid understanding of the fundamentals of what they're learning. While it may be possible to get through a class by memorizing seemingly disjointed facts, students will have a much easier time learning and remembering information if they understand why it's important in the first place, and how it...

...a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English because I love the art of communication and writing, as well as the critical thinking and history involved in literature. I am a big believer that the humanities (such as language and writing) are not given enough attention in school, so I love using my skills and passion to get students excited about it. It's also important because language and writing are crucial pieces...

...ways to achieve that answer. So, if one method used to achieve the answer doesn't fit with your learning style there are other methods available. Usually when I tutor, I will ask questions in attempt to understand how much the student knows and where the "holes" in their learning are located. It's important to find these gaps because it enables me to understand what topics should be reviewed or emphasized. I also believe that asking...

...is fun, helpful, but also logical. Students learn best when subjects are broken down into simple, easy-to-understand steps. That's my teaching style, taking concepts and moving forward one step at a time. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities and playing sports. Basketball, hiking, swimming, and reading are a few of my hobbies. I'm a driven and passionate individual that loves to see progress. I can't wait to get a chance to work with...

...way out of a job as quickly as possible. Give the student study skills, tools and confidence to get to their desired level of competence on their own. I don't give answers; we find them together. I try to add realism and practicality to the sometimes dry, theoretical learning experience. There is nothing more satisfying than to see a student's success and progress. I love music and sing in three groups that entertain at hospitals...

...am a chronic adventure-seeker and a lifelong learner. My favorite aspect of the current landscape of education is the use and implementation of technology. It allows us to explore, connect and be free. With my current dissertation, I am hoping to prove that the modern student may actually learn more efficiently in an online environment. When I’m not teaching, my passion is spending time with my wife and my family traveling, fishing, surfing and most...

If you need help with biology, chemistry, physics, organic chemistry, physiology, or microbiology, I can be especially helpful. What about standardized tests? Taking the ACT, SAT, or AP tests soon? Yep, I can help with those as well. I recently prepared for and received a great score on the medical admissions test, so standardized testing strategies...
