I graduated from Brown University with a bachelor's degree in Engineering. I am from Bolivia and speak fluent Spanish....

...preventive medicine. I have over 10 years of experience in taking and helping others sit for standardized and college exams. I have also tutored medical school courses at Harvard Medical School. I know what it's like to encounter a difficult subject, and the frustration with having to study for a particular exam, or for a course that is uninteresting but a prerequisite, which is why I have developed methods over the years to effectively study...

...to follow my students for the 2 years of my service and to see their growth and improvement was incredibly rewarding. I myself am a student again, working towards my doctorate in Physical Therapy at Boston University. But I miss the connections I had to my students in Burkina Faso and I am excited about the opportunity to work with students locally to help each student achieve his or her full potential. With my graduate...

...comes from a deep and genuine interest in the subject. I recognize the grave importance of instilling scientific knowledge in our future generations, so it is my goal to help students overcome any struggles or intimidation of the subject. I aim to do this by encouraging the same interest and curiosity in the subject that has lead me to pursue a career in biology. I believe that the key to conquering all things science is...

...I really enjoy teaching. I like to learn and to share what I've learned. So, basically, I have heaps of experience teaching and tutoring students, and have always received high ratings. My students do very well on their exams! My qualifications are extensive, and include two undergraduate degrees (Zoology and Botany), and a Ph.D. in Biology from the University of California at San Diego, where I specialized in neuroscience. I have taught introductory biology, genetics, physiology,...

...medicine. As an undergraduate I received grant funding for my ongoing project, 'Historical Perspectives on Alternative Health.' I am pursuing a MA in History while finishing up prerequisites for a graduate degree related to pathology. In addition to historical studies related to science and medicine I am associated with the Center for Values in Medicine, Science,and Technology at UTD. This has provided me with exposure to ethical components of the sciences that do not receive...

...at various levels and branches of biology as well. I also teach biology for a program in Boston called Classroom At The Workplace where I work with many English language learners. My experiences in and out of the classroom and with various types of learners has expanded my ability to make biology content accessible AND fun! In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching documentaries, yoga, meditation, cooking, painting, walking/hiking, and enjoying the city of...

...postdoctoral training I have mentored numerous undergraduate and graduate students, teaching them basics of cell biology and variety of laboratory techniques. My students received scholarships for Ph.D. programs in prestigious universities across the United States, such as University of Pittsburg, University of Utah, Brown and Northwestern Universities. Beyond teaching University students, I used to work with high school students, leading an extra-curriculum club in biology, as well as coaching them for science Olympiads. I am...

...children from the local area, refugee children and adult immigrants. While living in Atlanta, I worked with the Fugees Family program tutoring and mentoring refugees, as well as worked with high school students from the Atlanta area. While I enjoy tutoring many subjects, I am most passionate about Classical and English Literature and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. In my experiences assisting students with tough concepts, I always try to cater to the student's best learning...

...and science, specifically Algebra, Calculus and Biology. Furthermore, after being inducted in the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society at BU, I led tutoring sessions specifically geared to Engineering principles such as mechanics, physics, and mathematics. As an engineer, my favorite subjects to study are High School to College Mathematics as well as the Sciences (Physics, Chemisty, Biology) because it gives the mind a great workout! I am a generally upbeat and motivated individual which...

...are Algebra and Chemistry, as they both have discernible patterns within the material which leads to a better understanding as one builds new topics on previous ones. I have found that students have the most success in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they become second nature. Like the subjects that I teach, I believe that education...

...own great teachers. Hopefully one day you will continue this cycle. I have had tutored and taught many students, just like you. Some of them are now graduate students and even postdoctoral fellows. I am proud of them and this is the feeling that inspires me for teaching. My teaching strategy is based on a simple concept: Understand not memorize. This may seem obvious but unfortunately sometimes the education system is not based on this...

...human body. I have a passion for helping people and I care about people young and old. This is the basis of my desire to attend medical school. Taking a human physiology class in the spring semester of my junior year of college was the initial catalyst that led to my decision to become a doctor. I had been following my interests up to that point, and my interest in studying the human body started...
