...her weaknesses whether that be reading comprehension, grammar skills, algebra, test taking tips, time management, etc. During our sessions together, we will review the problems that I have provided for homework, and I will instruct the student on better and faster ways to solve the correct problems and demonstrate ways to approach the problems that they did not know how to solve. Additionally, I always find that my students have the greatest level of success...

...philosophy is one of individualized attention and goal setting, where the tutor and the student work together to set realistic goals, and then identify the roadblocks preventing the student from achieving his or her goal. We then work together to surmount these obstacles, allowing the student to actualize his or her goal. I also try to identify the source of a student's obstacles, and work to solve these fundamental issues as well. I am a...

I am a team-player, and hope to use this attribute to work with my students to reach their goals.

...spread that knowledge, subsequently inspiring people to seek their own truths. Tutoring is a beautiful composition of art and science. One must understand both the material and the student. Not just simple comprehension, but in what manner the comprehension is reached. I enjoy breaking down problems into logical sub-units. First, the underlying equations (or axioms, or vocabulary, or processes) must be understood, preferably on an instinctual level, as it is easier to remember ideas when...

...a 'fast' method to significantly improve MCAT scores. I simply do not know one! What I can teach however, is a rigorous system of meta analysis and self reflection that will help you achieve your short and long term MCAT goals. The MCAT is widely considered the hardest graduate level exam in existence. The scope of the exam is extraordinary and easily encompasses 4 years of college biochemistry degree courses. To me however, earning a...

...with plans to pursue Ob/Gyn after graduation in 2022! For me, tutoring is one of the most rewarding opportunities! I love connecting with students and empowering them to get to where they want to be academically. My students have ranged in age from as young as 6 years old to college-aged. I've been tutoring individually for over 8 years now, and I specialize in helping students with chemistry, biology, math, and test-prep.

...grasping the content and critical reasoning required for this exam. In the past one could survive on raw memorization and recall power for an above-par score, but this newly structured exam requires a different approach - a more cohesive and integrated one. I'm also in a binding medical program which allows only one chance to take the MCAT and meet the required benchmark, so this was truly a one-time opportunity, a mentality I would recommend...

...from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 and have extensive tutoring and editing experience. While a student, I became a certified writing tutor through the Critical Writing Department. Since I completed my writing requirement at the University prior to matriculating, I was the first freshman tutor to be accepted into this selective program. The tutoring program involved a preliminary peer-tutor training course prior to beginning tutoring, in order to certify that I had the appropriate...

...physics, often employing diagrams and visual aids in my teaching. In addition, since high school, I have always been someone that friends entrust to look over and critique their papers before they submit final drafts. My teaching style features visual learning, mnemonics, and hierarchical organization of material. I find that hierarchically cataloguing information by topic and sub-topic helps students retain material, as students are not simply memorizing, but are understanding how concepts relate to one...

In...
