I particularly enjoy helping students master these entrance exams and seeing them...

...school, I completed the International Baccalaureate diploma in Fife, Scotland. My dissertation was in theoretical genetics. It was also fun to be in a Northern town with 3 beaches and more double rainbows than I have seen anywhere since!

Going beyond the technical details of each subject, I believe that strong foundational study skills can assist the student in all their subjects. While I am sure my methods arent perfect, I hope...

...Due to our busy schedules and the demands of coursework, goals are ranked according to their immediacy. My early career in teaching started by working for a large volunteer tutorial service at the University of Wisconsin.

From pop culture to politics, we can find common ground in order to link your everyday interests to your studies!

...school at Texas A&M-Baylor College of Dentistry in the fall! Through my years of experience of being a student, I realized the most valuable classes to me weren't necessary the ones I found most important. Rather, it was where the teachers lit up the classroom by sharing their passion for the subject and really engaged the class. I try to approach tutoring in the same way. I believe student teachers are a valuable resource because...

...through the GRE level, in addition to all the required mathematics needed for such physics. My favorite subject to tutor is probably calculus, at virtually any level. I love the way it combines basic ideas - the derivative is the slope of a function at any given point, the integral is the area underneath a curve - with real mathematical rigor, and seeing students connect to these concepts is a delight. Calculus is essentially what...

In helping students with reading and writing skills, I enjoy using multiple different approaches to develop a well-rounded understanding of the techniques, while making the sessions fun. I'm a strong proponent of keeping studying dynamic. It is important to me that my students come away from our sessions with not only the scores or grades they...

Until eventually, this became a habit, and my new standard. My motto is "play hard, but work harder." I want you to study hard and work hard, but I also want you to have fun, and enjoy your life. I have experience tutoring...

But I have always decided to keep going, no matter how hard the obstacles. I have worked hard in school and I hope that I can help make learning easier for you! Over the years of studying in college I have developed effective...

...M.S. in Applied Mathematics. I have five years of tutoring experience in both math and computer science, as well as teaching experience at the college level.

I graduated from Summa Cum Laude Brandeis University with degrees in Chemistry and Biology, which provided me with a deep understanding of these subjects.

I like to look at the overall program of study, and work to incorporate a student's strengths into some of the areas they are currently working on to improve. By looking at all the skills a student has I believe...
