Alex

Business Tutor • +8 Subjects

I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and went to high school at Montgomery Bell Academy. I completed my Bachelor of Business Administration dual major degree at University of Georgia in the International Business and Finance with a minor in Spanish in May 2015. As evidenced by my majors, I have a passion for international business, having experienced the geo-political and economic landscape via overseas educational opportunities. This unique perspective has broadened my academic horizons and personal development to areas far outside the classroom, equipping me with valuable skills in today’s increasingly global environment.My international interests and travels have instilled the ability to learn and adapt quickly, as well as apply knowledge and language skills effectively and efficiently. In addition to the completion of my Spanish minor, an educational trip to Costa Rica and summer classes in Spain have provided me with communication skills and a thorough understanding of different cultures.My qualified experience includes an internship with a premier real estate fund manager that has proved crucial to my development in areas of finance, and business organizations, organizational delegation and personal responsibility. Additionally, my internship with US Congressman Jim Cooper greatly expanded my knowledge and perspective of current affairs both domestic and abroad, and how they affect our national policies. Finally, 80 hours of tutoring experience in many different subjects at the Boys and Girls Club in Athens, GA has sparked my interest in motivating, teaching, and mentoring students from 8-18 years old.I am confident that my academic experiences and qualifications in Finance, Spanish and International Business have provided me with a unique opportunity and skill-set that I can pass on to others in a way that is easy to understand for students of all ages.

10th Grade Math Tutor • +35 Subjects

I love math and I love science. Math and science are two areas of study that I take pride in knowing. They are the study of the world around us and how it works to the most minute detail. That fascinates me. So much so that I achieved a Bachelor of Science Degree in chemistry. It is my goal to put this same kind of passion, drive and excitement in all those around me. I hope that I will one day nerd out on math and science with all my students!

I graduated from California State University, Dominguez Hills with a Bachelor's in Mathematics and Pepperdine University with a Master's in Education.I currently teach high school math and I have tutored students throughout the school year.I mainly tutor students in Algebra 1 and Geometry. However, my favorite subject to tutor is Algebra 1 because I find that this is the subject that students usually have a harder time with.I try my best to teach students step by step on how to solve problems. I break it down so they can have a better understanding of the concepts.Outside of tutoring, I like to run and exercise. I like to go shopping and enjoy spending time with my friends and family.

I am a second year student at the University of Texas at Austin majoring in neuroscience, with minors in computer science and creative writing. I am on the pre-med track, with hopes of working internationally with nonprofits as a doctor. I am involved in tutoring programs such as Students Expanding Austin Literacy and The Education Project, the first of which is in person tutoring and the latter being online instruction. I love working on a wide variety of tutoring subjects, but specifically the sciences and english subjects. I find that it's very important to help students deeply understand questions in a way that works for them best! I believe that learning for learning's sake will help anyone get where they want to go in life.

ACT Writing Tutor • +48 Subjects

As a QuestBridge Scholar and an undergraduate biomedical engineering student at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.

Shyon

ACT Science Tutor • +69 Subjects

I am currently a student at the University of Texas-Austin, and in the Honors Biomedical Engineering Program. Throughout high school and into college, I have tutored students of all ages; anywhere from my employment at a mathematics tutoring center to private lessons for students my age. Other parts of my life include playing sports (tennis, soccer, ping pong, basketball), jamming on the piano, and doing extracurriculars at school.I believe the most effective teachers are not those who know the most, but those who motivate their students to want to know it all. I like to keep the student as engaged and focused as possible in the work. From my personal experiences in high school up to the Biomedical Engineering program, I have learned the variety of ways students learn and try my best to implement the most appropriate method. Last but not least, I try to ensure the student has fun and genuinely enjoys the sessions with the tutor.

I am a graduate of Emory University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I then received a Master of Science from Johns Hopkins University where I focused on Biotechnology. I am currently pursuing my M.D. in Boston, MA. During my time in graduate school, I tutored middle school and high school students in science and math. I love tutoring science, especially health sciences as I am in school to become a physician. I also enjoy teaching math and I find it to be one of the most rewarding subjects to watch a student grow to understand. Throughout my academic career, I have taken the SAT, GRE, and MCAT so I am especially passionate about test preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students preparing for the CDR Exam typically find the Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) case studies most demanding, as they require synthesizing nutrition assessment, diagnosis, and intervention planning under time pressure. The Foodservice Management section also challenges many candidates because it blends technical nutrition knowledge with operational and business management concepts. Additionally, the Evidence Analysis Library (EAL) questions test not just content knowledge but the ability to critically evaluate research quality and apply evidence-based practice—a skill that requires both deep subject mastery and strategic test-taking approach. Personalized tutoring helps students identify their specific weak points and develop targeted strategies for each question type.

Effective case study preparation requires more than memorizing answers—you need to practice the systematic process of gathering nutrition history, conducting assessment, and formulating diagnoses within the time constraints. Many students benefit from working through cases by first identifying the client's key medical conditions and lab values, then mapping these to appropriate nutrition diagnoses using the standardized language (IDNT). A tutor experienced with CDR Exam preparation can walk you through the reasoning behind each step, help you recognize patterns in how cases are constructed, and teach you to avoid common pitfalls like missing subtle lab abnormalities or selecting diagnoses that don't align with the assessment data.

A strong CDR Exam tutor should hold the Registered Dietitian Credential (RD or RDN) and ideally have recent experience with the exam or active practice in clinical nutrition, foodservice management, or research. Beyond credentials, look for tutors who understand the specific structure and question types of the current CDR Exam, can explain the reasoning behind correct answers rather than just providing them, and have experience helping multiple candidates pass. The best tutors stay current with updates to the Evidence Analysis Library, understand how to teach both content mastery and test strategy, and can adapt their teaching to your learning style and schedule.

Evidence Analysis Library (EAL) questions test your ability to evaluate research quality, understand study design limitations, and apply findings to practice—skills that go beyond memorization. A tutor can teach you how to quickly assess whether a study's methodology supports its conclusions, recognize common research biases, and determine when evidence is strong enough to guide nutrition recommendations. Rather than memorizing specific EAL conclusions, effective tutoring focuses on building your critical thinking framework so you can evaluate unfamiliar research scenarios on test day. This approach also prepares you for real-world practice as a registered dietitian.

The CDR Exam allows approximately 1.5 minutes per question, which means you must work efficiently without sacrificing accuracy—a balance many candidates struggle to achieve. Tutors experienced with the exam can teach you strategic approaches like identifying keywords in case scenarios, prioritizing which information is most relevant to the nutrition diagnosis, and recognizing when you're overthinking a question. They can also help you practice full-length simulations under timed conditions, identify where you're losing time, and develop personalized pacing strategies based on your strengths and weaknesses across different question types.

Many students struggle to match the correct nutrition diagnosis (using IDNT language) to the client's specific clinical presentation—they either select diagnoses that are too broad, miss subtle clues in the assessment data, or choose diagnoses that don't align with the nutrition-related problem. For example, students might select "Excessive Mineral Intake" when the case actually indicates a need for increased mineral absorption due to malabsorption. A tutor can help you develop a systematic approach to diagnosis selection by teaching you to identify the root cause of the nutrition problem, understand the distinction between related diagnoses, and practice applying IDNT language with precision across diverse case scenarios.

Most candidates benefit from 3-6 months of focused preparation, though this varies based on your background, time availability, and how recently you completed your dietetics program. Tutoring is most effective when combined with independent study—a tutor helps you prioritize high-yield content, clarifies concepts you find confusing through self-study, and provides targeted feedback on practice questions and case studies. Rather than replacing your study plan, personalized instruction accelerates your learning by helping you work smarter, avoid common misconceptions, and build confidence in your weaker areas before exam day.

The CDR Exam is regularly updated to reflect current evidence-based practice and changes to the Evidence Analysis Library, which means using outdated study materials can lead you astray. A tutor who stays current with these updates can ensure you're studying the right content, explain how recent EAL conclusions affect nutrition recommendations, and help you navigate any structural changes to the exam format. This is particularly important because the exam emphasizes evidence-based practice, so your preparation materials need to reflect the most current research and professional standards.
