About Me

Hello, I'm Emma! Let's see if we would make a good matchA little about me I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy student at MGH Institute of Health Professions. I recently moved to South Boston from my home state of California to pursue my graduate degree and my ultimate goal of becoming a physical therapist. I graduated from UC Davis in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Biology and a minor in Psychology. My previous tutoring experience includes working as a tutor in the Psychology department at UC Davis, peer tutoring within the Exercise Biology department, and various peer-to-peer tutoring roles. At UC Davis I also worked as an Undergraduate Admissions Advisor where I gained extensive knowledge in college essay writing, and as a Campus Tour Guide where I honed my skill of public speaking. Prior to relocating to Boston I was building my career in physical therapy by working as a physical therapy aide in several outpatient orthopedic clinics and volunteering at the VA Rehabilitation Hospital. I am passionate about the health sciences and helping students achieve their academic goals. I am an original Harry Potter nerd and a sports fanatic. In my leisure time I enjoy being outdoors, watching sports, cooking, community volunteering and playing with dogs! How I can help youI've likely been in your shoes. I've been the student who has been frustrated with difficult assignments and seemingly useless subjects. However, through my partnership with tutors and a passion for knowledge I have acquired a broader context of the sciences and the study skills that have turned learning into an evolving process rather than a memorization task. I would like to share those skills with you and help YOU learn! I can help you:- Balance chemical equations- Understand the function of cells- Solve for 'x' in math problems- Learn human anatomy- Write your essay or speech- Give a successful public presentation- And much more! Please look over the list of subjects that I am available to tutor and contact me to set up your first tutoring session! I will gladly answer any further questions that you have about my qualifications in a direct message. Thank you for considering me to help you achieve academic success, good luck!

Q&A with Emma

My teaching philosophy is centered around the idea that if you understand a concept, rather than memorize information, you can problem solve your way through any exam question or project. I believe it is important to work through academic concepts with students in a way that they learn best (ie. discussing verbally, drawing diagrams, etc.) while simultaneously discussing strategies for solving content related questions. Often students struggle not because they lack intelligence, but because they are missing the one-on-one interaction that is so crucial to learning. I look forward to the opportunity to provide you with guidance in the subjects listed in my profile. How can you help a student become an independent learner? I can help a student become an independent learner by facilitating productive study habits and helping students establish a solid baseline understanding of the subject material. With a knowledge base and study skills a student should be able to take steps towards independent learning. It is not my intention for students to need tutoring for longer than a semester! How would you help a student stay motivated?
