...NIH. That means I'm studying to be a doctor one day, but taking some time off to be a scientist and learn more about our hormones and our brains. In addition to medicine, I have a passion for mentoring and tutoring. I worked as a youth mentor and counselor throughout high school, college, and medical school, and love fostering curiosity, confidence, and independence in excited young minds. I think that sometimes the pressures of school,...

...in 2007. Before returning to school, I taught high school students with emotional and learning disabilities in a variety of subjects, including math and science. I also spent a year in AmeriCorps, where I was a residential counselor for students in a residential academic program here in Baltimore. There's no one right way to learn and I believe students are most successful when their instructor is able to meet them where they are. I enjoy...

I'm a current medical student at Georgetown School of Medicine. I have over ten years of tutoring and teaching experience and am passionate about helping my students reach their potential and achieve their goals. I look forward to sharing my passion and working with your student!

Growing up as a first-generation ESL student, I understood the difficulty of having to learn on your own and seeking additional practice. I want to be the person that helps those in need, especially those who might know who to seek. I wish to be a great tutor and an even better mentor for students who aspire to go into the medical field!

...University and my passion for science and healthcare is growing each day! I have been a tutor for five years now and tutor at all levels. I think learning is a very individual process so I like to get to know my students and tailor my style to their needs, whether that be more visual learning, tons of practice problems or a more auditory approach. After all I'm here to suit YOUR needs, so I'm...

...and I know that the student understands a concept that was a mystery to them previously. I have the ability to take concepts and teach them in different ways. I tailor my tutoring to fit the learning style of the student. I think that is really important because it is very hard for a visual learner to learn from just listening. I also engage the student in learning. For example, having them label a diagram...

I am currently a fourth year medical student at the University of Maryland. I've always loved to teach. I think one of the most exciting things about learning is to be able to pass it on to others. It is also one of the main reasons I have a passion for becoming a doctor. I went to University of Maryland, College Park for college and majored in English and Biology, my two favorite subjects. I...

I’ve been tutoring since high school, and thoroughly enjoy helping students understand material and become more passionate about learning. I graduated from Harvard College in 2010 where I majored in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. I also worked for two years doing biological research. Now, my plan is to attend graduate school next fall and to continue on working in the field of public health. I’m excited to make learning fun and interesting for my students!

...once all are ready to move on. Not surprisingly, I am a bit of a story teller and have more than a few book ideas floating around in my brain. I am an active participant in several educator groups and conferences so that I can still learn from my peers, and when I get some time to explore and create, I am an avid video gamer, cook, tomato and pepper gardener, and amateur entomologist.... My main...

...love sharing understanding and knowledge about the subject and explaining the fascinating way in which biological systems operate. I also tutor in math since math and science are closely linked. I got my degrees at Occidental College and at the University of Texas at Austin. In college I discovered field biology was for me and I spent time working on a research boat and a year in Costa Rica when I did my graduate degree....

...various capacities in education, both on the curriculum development side and in formal classroom teaching. I worked as a lab instructor for Genetics and Evolution courses in Duke University's Department of Biology, and developed and taught science programs for the Duke University Center for Science Education. I also spent a year and a half teaching English conversation and writing to high school students in Japan. I have a passion for science education and am currently...

...Microbiology. In my experience, each student is unique and no one person has the same learning style, so it is important to first find out how a student thinks before you teach them. Science has been my favorite subject for as long as I remember and I hope to convey that appreciation to each student I tutor. When I'm not in the lab, in my spare time, my hobbies are playing volleyball, kickball, cooking, playing...

...of medicine, but in others as well. I have a passion for learning and imparting knowledge and mentoring students in topics that I am well-versed. I also learn a lot from my students and what they bring to the table. My educational career began as a Biology Major at the University of Maryland-College Park. I have studied and worked in India, Africa and the Caribbean. I also have a Master's in Public Health from The...

...the age of 16. When I arrived in the USA I knew I was behind educationally. One thing I had lots of was desire and determination to become a medical doctor. Without my tutors I would not have made it. In medical school I volunteered at a GED center in Harrisburg, PA. I realized my first love: "teaching." As a physician you must be able to teach your patients, aspiring medical students and your staff....

...and I absolutely loved it. My students initially thought I was hard, but as time went on they realized that my style of teaching was beneficial to them and they did well in the lab class. I then taught lab techniques while doing fellowship at the NIH to summer students and thoroughly enjoyed it. My students loved the way I explained things to them in detail and also the fact that I pushed them to...

...Mathematics. While in college, I took great pleasure in tutoring my peers and volunteered tutoring elementary children. I have recently returned back to the United States from studying abroad where I learned my third language, Spanish. I have spent my life living and attending schools in different countries to which has taught me a plethora of life lessons. My favorite lesson relating to learning is to never let "schooling" interfere with my education. This same...

...learning and secretly want to be a student forever. I equally enjoy teaching students. My earliest tutoring experience dates back to when I was 16, where I taught my native language German. Since then, I have tutored other subjects as well including biology, physiology, and chemistry to name a few. Having won several science awards, I know lots of fun facts to share with my tutees. During my tutoring sessions, I make subjects applicable by...

...assistance at anytime, and helping my students WANT to make progress in their studies (similar to making my patients WANT to improve their health). Aside from my medical work, I play both the violin and the piano, and find music to be very therapeutic for my stressful lifestyle. Additionally, I play in a community orchestra and I absolutely love to attend musical concerts, especially at the Kennedy Center. I also love bowling, shopping at the...
