...six years. Most recently, I taught a summer course at Georgetown in the fundamentals of medical science to high school sophomores through seniors. I understand that everyone learns differently so I tailor my lessons to my students' needs and goals. Especially in subjects like organic chemistry, where students often feel overwhelmed, I am able to use molecular models to explain concepts like stereochemistry in more visual ways than are used in traditional instruction. I am...

...start to finish using logical steps and tapping into the knowledge you already know, how to eliminate wrong answers on tricky multiple choice questions, and how to efficiently study so that you still have time to relax and have a life (very important for success).

It's my goal to help everyone who comes to me understand what they are having trouble with, and to make them more confident with their learning.

...Using resources that help the student manage their time and do more work in less time helps take some of the burden off the student. It makes me proud to watch a student gain confidence in themselves after they've mastered a concept that used to give them anxiety or a sense of helplessness. In my free time, I love to eat out, watch sports, workout, write poetry, read, and listen to music.

...to attend graduate school and obtain a PhD in biological defense. This recently developed aspiration was stimulated by the increase of recent global biological attacks. While there are some treatments for these attacks, they have several cons. I know with the help of research they can be made to be more efficient. Though these weapons have detrimental effects, I believe that these are more practical than nuclear weapons because the targets are specific and do...

It's my belief that students learn most if the material is made relevant and interesting and they are encouraged to ask questions . Additionally, I enjoy helping students to prepare for the SAT and ACT because I see the tests as puzzles that can be solved and can make a huge difference in a student's future career. I...

I am currently finishing up my sophomore year at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). I am majoring in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology and minoring in Computer Science. My goal for the future is to earn a PhD in Computational Genetics and spend my life researching the genetic basis of diseases. In fact I am currently in a research lab on campus and I am developing a computational model of cancer to better understand...

Additionally, I...

...Since I was in university, I've tutored different people and seen the positive impacts that learning has. During my undergraduate career I worked with a community outreach program designed to help inner-city children with their school-work while educating them about the environment. While working here, I researched and wrote about the beneficial effects education has. In 2012 I graduated with a B.S. in Environmental Biology, and since I've graduated, I've held tutoring jobs, an internship...

Always excited to learn something new!

...math! I love watching students succeed and find their passion for learning--understanding concepts can be fun, and having the tools to understand makes all the difference! Helping students have that moment where everything "clicks," is my goal. I also enjoy helping high schoolers prepare college applications and work on their essays.
