In my time with the tutoring center, I earned the "Distinguished Service Award" three times. I...

...am currently a Master's student at Cornell University. I graduated with my Bachelor's of Science from Cornell in 2016 and I plan to attend medical school in the fall of 2017. I am really excited to be tutoring for Varsity tutors because I really enjoy helping students with subjects that gave me trouble in school. I hope that my time spent developing strategies to learn and absorb the tough material can help you succeed.... I think...

...know what it is like to not know something and are able to help their student understand the basics. I try to make every session fun and productive, so my students feel like they can accomplish and understand concepts that they didn't think they could before. I take a vested interest in every student I teach, and seeing my students make improvements is the biggest reward of tutoring for me. The main courses I tutor...

...understanding the "why" and "how" in school and I try to help my students achieve that level of understanding as well. I prefer to guide students through their problems to help them learn the skills needed for their classes in the future, though I am certainly happy to explain things outright when necessary. Outside of academics I have passion for open water swimming, a penchant for knitting, and a pathological sweet tooth.

...just important to me as spending time with family, having a social life, and working to support myself. Thankfully, I was able to adapt. Over time I learned little tricks to make studying more efficient; to memorize more information in a shorter period of time. Of course, doing well in school also requires motivation. As your tutor, I can help teach you specific course material as well as more general study techniques that will keep...

...from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!... All questions...

...local ESY program. I've also mentored high school students in my local health science magnet school on college readiness and study strategies. I like to relate difficult concepts to analogies relevant to the real world, rather than focus on dry text in a book. This way, students can not only memorize but truly understand and learn. To teach is also to learn, so I'll definitely be learning a few things alongside the student!

I also was teaching assistant for upper level chemistry and biology lab courses, where I helped students during lab periods complete and understand their experiments, assisted them in writing up those labs afterward, and reviewed lab reports for the professors.

I am a passionate science educator with experience teaching high school students, college students, and adults. I like to teach by building frameworks of understanding with my students, and make sure to treat each case individually.... Every student is different.

I believe that learning is a personal process, and the role of a good teacher or tutor is to facilitate and...

...comes from assessing how a student thinks, and then tweaking my teaching style to a way that makes sense to them.

...am grateful for the opportunity to share what I know in a way that inspires and educates students. My passion for education stems from a desire to become more aware of the world around me and to help others do the same, whether in the form of writing a paper, passing a test or understanding new concepts. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology or writing. In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors, playing...

...a tutor, my main duty is to work with a student as an individual and to adjust my own tutoring to fit the way they learn best. I believe that all students have what it takes to succeed in school, its just a matter of finding the style of learning that is most effective for them. What works or makes sense for one student will not necessarily work for the next student, and so it...

...as “useless” as many students think learning how to, say, calculate an integral or write an essay analyzing Austen is, most of the skills they pick up along the way do serve some purpose later in life, both directly and indirectly. Outside of tutoring and academic pursuits, I am on the debate team and plan on either doing debate or mock trial during my years at UChicago. I also play volleyball recreationally, run, and practice...
