I aim for my clients to improve as overall students as well, so that they can be successful in the face of any future academic challenges. Aside from my teaching and academic pursuits, my favorite hobbies are playing music and...

...At Ohio State, I also was a Defensive Back on the football team, and have tutored many of my teammates. We accomplished much as a team, and became 2014-2015 College Football National Champions. Furthermore, I was named an OSU Scholar Athlete four times, and selected to the Academic All-Big Ten team two times. I will be beginning medical school in August of 2016. Before that begins, I am working as a personal trainer/performance coach, in...

...well as biology, chemistry, and biochemistry (through my research experience) and sincerely enjoy tutoring students in those areas. I also enjoy tutoring for standardized tests. While I was studying for the SAT, ACT, and MCAT, all of my preparation was through self-study; as a result, I have a unique approach to preparing for tests that emphasizes knowing the test itself more than the actual material. In addition to tutoring natural sciences and standardized test prep,...

I have been tutoring since 2008. I've helped 1000+ students to improve their understanding in general chemistry, biology (especially in genetics, anatomy, and microbiology), most physics courses, organic chemistry, math (algebra, geometry, and pre-calc), ACT, GRE, DAT, MCAT, and other test prep. I have a level 1 & 2 tutor certification from the College Learning and Reading Association. I offer one-on-one, small group, and online tutoring.

...attend medical school at Geisinger Commonwealth Medical College this fall. Having taken all of the science classes since high school, I know how daunting and hard science material might seem but if taken at a very fundamental level, it is much more logical and simpler than how many high school teachers or college professors make it seem. Thats how I approach tutoring my clients. I try to use practical examples on how the science principles...

...of Vanderbilt University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Medicine, Health, and Society with a minor in French. I tutor all four sections of the MCAT. I also have extensive English tutoring experience as I am a certified ESL teacher. I have taught English to refugees while in college, I tutor English online to children in China, and I will be teaching English in France during a gap year.

...and Biochemistry. I will be starting medical school in the fall and have extra time this semester. I have tutored extensively in the Sciences and Mathematics but am also willing to work with Spanish students and test prep, including the ACT, SAT and MCAT. I have always performed very well on standardized tests and am eager to share my tricks with other students. I have tutored elementary, middle school, high school, and college-aged students in...

...clinical practice. I started tutoring statistics at my university as a freshman. I have developed a unique approach for test-taking that has enabled me to achieve 99th+ percentile scores on the MCAT and SAT. I am well-positioned to tutor all sections of the MCAT and believe success on the exam has a lot to do with one's test-taking psychology. As a result, my teaching philosophy is guided less by content knowledge acquisition and more by...

...worked at Epic Systems for a year after undergrad to gain some real world work experience and gain knowledge of healthcare administration. In 2013, I started medical school at the University Of Chicago Pritzker School Of Medicine. I am currently in my fourth year of school, and will be applying tointernal medicine residency programs in the fall. I find the most effective learning strategy is to understand the underlying concepts behind a subject, which facilitates...

...we are injured. Everyday scientists learn something new about the body which is why I love physiology. In addition, I reviewed for the MCAT by myself with my own exceptional strategies and so I am very comfortable helping students with every section of the test. When I tutor, I tailor my teaching style so that I can pinpoint the exact misunderstanding my student has with the concepts/material they are trying to learn. This style makes...

...and Chemistry, and I was able to help them better understand difficult concepts by approaching the topics from multiple angles that were tailored to the students preferred learning strategies. It is my goal to help each student I tutor master the material by tailoring the session to accommodate the the student's preferred learning style while focusing on their weaknesses and reinforcing their strengths. I do not succeed unless my students succeed, so let's work together...

...their capacity for learning and making the generalized process of education more personal. Learning is a skill that requires training, pacing, and a lot of practice. It stems from one's ability to process information by reading the assigned text, taking good notes, and carefully choosing exercises and problems to solidify one's understanding of concepts without taking up too much time. Though learning is a universal skill, it manifests differently from person to person. My goal...

...are violin, chemistry, and mathematics, all of which I am very passionate about. I have tutored mandarin and violin before during my high school years. My teaching philosophy involves understanding overlying concepts into detail which allow for successful application. In my free time you will most likely find me playing basketball at the local gym, practicing violin in my garage, or making some music for YouTube. Overall, I am benign yet strict tutor who looks...

...informal, as I believe the best way to motivate students is through conversation, rather than strict lecturing. Instead of asking students to memorize facts, I want to help them develop passion for the subjects through real-world application, and through a deep understanding of important concepts. I also like to use plenty of practice problems, to help students apply their knowledge and track their progress. In my free time, I like to read, listen to podcasts,...

...is one that feels like a conversation. By creating a dynamic atmosphere between Tutor and student, the student will be able to truly understand the material. Constant collaboration is the key to a student's success and I have spent years mastering this skill. My interests, outside of teaching, include sports, music, and international work. I personally understand the everyday challenges that student athletes must overcome and I can tailor my approach to best fit their...

...I then went on to complete a Masters program at Georgetown University in human physiology. Given the amount of schooling I have gone through myself, I have taken a wide range of subjects and more standardized tests than I would like to admit. I have taught students of almost every age in various fields such as elementary science, Hebrew, chemistry, MCAT prep, and many more.. My ultimate plan is to go to medical school, but...

...has also demanded professionalism and excellent teaching skills. Most recently, I worked in the Student Affairs office of my alma mater, Grinnell College, as the front desk representative for student, parent, and faculty concerns – all under confidentiality and time pressures. At the same time, I worked as a student leader of the Grinnell Outdoor Recreation Program to teach participants the techniques of various outdoor activities (e.g., canoeing, bicycling) and led day or week long...

...and Physics, two of my favorite pre-med subjects. Tutoring has always been a passion of mine in that I can directly help my student succeed and achieve their academic, personal and professional goals. I always relate tutoring to my dream of becoming a physician, where we place ourselves in a position to help someone else with knowledge that we have acquired. As a tutor, you can always expect me to be happy, passionate and focused...

...other students meet their academic goals by tutoring for the MCAT and other Pre-med courses. I have found that trying to study something that you're not interested in can sometimes be an act of futility. I like to find ways to engage my students with their studies in ways that are exciting and inspiring. Math and science are the keys to understanding the world around us and they can be very captivating subjects when you...

I'm a recent graduate from Duke University who scored in the 99th percentile (522) on the MCAT in May 2017. I got so much advice and guidance in my journey, and now I'm eager to pass that along! I have previously served as a Chemistry/Physics tutor for a major test prep company but am also well-versed with the other MCAT sections.
