Award-Winning Tutors from Drexel University

Hello prospective students!My name is Naomi and I am currently a rising 4th-year medical student. I have my B.S. in Biology with a concentration in Neuroscience, and an M.S. in Biomedical Sciences. I have experience tutoring at the undergraduate and graduate levels. I spent a year teaching math and science for a non-profit organization so I have experience with younger age groups as well. I have a great love for the sciences and look forward to working with you.

I LOVE BIOLOGY. Joking aside I am currently finishing up my masters degree in biology (MBS) from Drexel University and this work is following a bachelors degree in biological sciences (BS) from Rhode Island College. I also and applying to medical schools for the class of 2021 and have experience with both the old and new MCAT and the application cycle so I encourage students if they have questions to ask away. My hobbies include sports, travel, and movies.

Hello I am Peter Campion. I studied education in Temple's graduate program, and I have a bachelor of science in physics from Drexel University. I taught high schoolclasses of chemistry, biology, physical science, and earth space science in Northeast Philadelphia.

Hello and thank you for your interest. My name is Stephanie and I've worked as a creative services producer for a local television station for a few years before becoming an elementary school teacher. I've always enjoyed working with children and was excited to take on the role as a Kindergarten teacher 7 years ago and also an online ESL teacher roughly 4 years ago. I often describe teaching as going to an ice cream party everyday: lots of fun, maybe some spills, different flavors of personalities and then more fun the next day. I take learning and educating very seriously however, in the classroom it's all about fun and adventures while learning. Thank you so much for your time and I hope to be your tutor soon.

I love helping regular people better understand stuff that is confusing, intimidating or frustrating to them, because most times it's just means how it was explained was confusing, or it's been a long time. Regardless of subject, within a few minutes, I can figure out what the true struggle is and how to fix it! I also love easygoing sessions where we can laugh and be comfortable while getting things done! I'm not about egos or big words, just whatever it is YOU need to get you where you want.

I graduated with a B.A. in Biology, and have recently obtained an M.S. in Biomedical Sciences. While pursuing my Masters, I tutored graduate students in the medical college and obtained my Level 1 CRLA certification. I am currently applying to medical school while working in medical research. In my free time, I enjoy baking, cooking, taking dance classes at the gym, and reading.

Let's face it: Math can be tough. So why not make it easier with a personal tutor there help explain the hard things?I have over 5 years of private and group tutoring in all math levels from middle school to high school. I have helped students with Algebra I and II, Geometry, Precalculus, Trigonometry, and Calculus, as well as test prep for the SAT. In that time period, I have had the opportunity to work with dozens of students with different backgrounds, skill levels, and learning styles. As much as tutoring helps the student, it also helps me. My instruction incorporates the best techniques and explanations that I have found most effective over the years.I believe there are two critical ingredients needed to conquer any math issues. The first, is the quality of the tutor. Without a doubt, many people can teach you how to do a math problem, but not everyone can help explain it in such a way that you understand it and can apply the knowledge to future problems. The second important ingredient to successful learning is a positive attitude by the student. When tackling tough math problems, many students begin to feel overwhelmed by the material. I make sure to teach the material at a level the student can understand before progressing to more difficult problems. I have found that this approach allows the student to build up their confidence in the material, which directly translates into a willingness to learn and work hard.In addition, I highly value communication during the tutoring process. This involves keeping parents updated with how lessons are progressing and what was covered and could also include reaching out to school teachers to learn more about the material being covered. This also allows both the student and parents to give me feedback if a certain style of teaching helped a lot or not as much. A big support system around the student is incredibly important to creating a productive environment.I love seeing that aha moment on students faces, and Id love to see one on yours! I encourage you to reach out if you not only want to meet your goals, but exceed them. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have spent my professional career of 25+ years working in K-12 and higher education.I received my Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance at the University of Maryland.

Whether it is proofreading a paper, or helping to brainstorm, I am here to assist in every step of the creative process. Please feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in a session.

My philosophy for teaching is strongly supported by my belief that all students deserve access to quality education. Not all students come from the same background, thus I strive to create an all accepting classroom environment that meets each students' specific needs. I make sure to meet all my students where they are, whatever level that may be, and help build them up to surpass their expectations and achieve their goals.I prefer to have a wide net of teaching methods geared towards addressing different learning styles, because I feel it is important to design my methods in a way that collectively supports my students' distinct learning processes. My goal is to provide students with the opportunity to learn in the way that fits best for them. I believe students should be able to learn in a stress-free environment and at a pace that does not impose unnecessary pressure on their learning process.Through my extended experience as an educator, I have always made it a personal goal to make the learning process for my students enjoyable and engaging. I am a very quirky, positive, and outgoing person which translates over to how I connect with my students. It is of utmost importance to me that my students smile and laugh in my classroom and genuinely want to come to class. I will always go above and beyond for my students, as it is my passion to ensure that they all have a progressive educational experience that leads them on toward future success.

I am nearing the completion of an accelerated bachelor's and master's degree in biomedical engineering with a concentration in Neuroengineering from Drexel University. I have been tutoring elementary school, middle school, high school, and college students since I graduated from a science and math focused magnet high school program in 2021. I normally tutor students in math subjects, from elementary school math to college differential equations and statistics. I strongly believe that each student has a unique learning style, and by finding out what exactly this learning style is, I tailor my lessons accordingly so that my students understand me better. It is important to me to learn from the student just as much as they would learn from me, and my mission is to not only guide my students through the difficulties they are facing with their academics, but to also provide my students with the tools to be able to eventually become independent learners.

I'm a big believer in being a clear communication with students and inviting them to invest in their work. I hope to continue that success here!

I am a Biology major with a strong passion for making learning feel approachable and stress-free. I understand that students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions and building understanding step by step, rather than feeling rushed or pressured. My tutoring style focuses on slowing things down and breaking concepts into clear, manageable parts. I believe confidence grows when students are given space to think, make mistakes, and gradually connect ideas. Instead of memorization alone, I aim to help students understand the "why" behind the material so they can apply it independently. I'm especially motivated to support students who may feel overwhelmed or discouraged in subjects like math and science. My goal is to create a supportive environment where learning feels structured but calm, and where students can steadily improve at their own pace.

I graduated from Drexel University with a Bachelors in Biomedical Engineering and an MD.

Whether you are new to the field or advancing toward certification, I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and become a competent, effective behavior analyst.

I am currently a medical student in Philadelphia, and have a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Stony Brook University. I have several years of experience tutoring SAT students, but thanks to my mixed background I have proficiency in a wide range of subjects including mathematics, biological sciences, engineering, and physical sciences.I am passionate about teaching, and have taught healthcare sciences to underprivileged high school students in my spare time. My own experience as a student has taught me that learning new subject material can be intimidating, so my teaching philosophy involves a focus on breaking down complex problems into simpler, less daunting components. As a teacher I am most fulfilled when, through systematic instruction and problem-solving, I am able to promote the type of academic confidence that allows students to achieve their full potential.I was a collegiate rugby player and understand the struggles of the student-athlete. However, I firmly believe that many of the qualities that earn success in athletics can also translate to the classroom. I strive to exemplify this balance and motivate students to pursue success in all areas of their life.

Hi, I'm James. I'm a cybersecurity professional, former university instructor, and longtime competitive chess player who enjoys helping students grow in both technical and strategic thinking skills. I previously taught cybersecurity at Rice University and have mentored students and professionals in IT, problem-solving, and analytical thinking. I also bring years of experience in tournament chess, where I trained under former Women's World Chess Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk and competed in state and collegiate championships. My teaching style is patient, structured, and encouraging. Whether we are working on a computer science concept, preparing for a certification, or improving chess fundamentals, I focus on breaking complex ideas into clear steps and helping students understand the reasoning behind what they are learning. In chess lessons, that means learning how to think through positions and build good habits, not just memorizing moves. In technology subjects, it means understanding how systems work together rather than just following instructions. I work with students of different ages and experience levels, and I tailor each session to the student's goals and learning style. My aim is always the same: to help students build confidence, develop strong thinking skills, and leave each session feeling more capable than when they started.

I hope to be a good tutor and to help my students achieve their goals! I am always open to feedback and suggestions on how to be a better tutor.

I firmly believe that learning should be enjoyable for students. At times, it will be challenging and boring, but the overall process ought to be somewhat exciting and satisfying. Not all educators have the ability to create an enjoyable learning environment this could be due to large class sizes, limited class time, lack of resources, or inadequate training. As a tutor, I use the unique opportunities of one-on-one and small group sessions to form personal connections with students, in an effort to discover what sort of experience they need to enjoy learning the material. I think that students need to be comfortable in their learning environment so they can make mistakes and ask for help, when necessary. I tutor primarily biology and chemistry at the high school and undergraduate levels, as well as admissions exams, such as the ACT, the GRE, and the MCAT. My true passion is at the interface of biology and chemistry in the areas of biochemistry and molecular biology. I find it fascinating to learn about how fundamental concepts of chemistry allow biological organisms to function effectively. During my undergraduate career, I worked as a teaching assistant in a lower-level animal anatomy and physiology course and in an upper-level biochemistry course. Furthermore, I have mentored underclassmen by helping them through courses that I took in previous years. I have earned a B.S. in Molecular Biology from Messiah College and I am working towards a Ph.D. in Biochemistry at Drexel University. When I am not lost in the world of academia, I enjoy spending time in nature, reading science-fiction books, and cooking plant-based foods.

I'm a junior at Drexel University, dual-majoring in Management Information Systems and Business Analytics. I graduated from one of the best public high schools in America, Central High School, with a Bachelor of Arts (CHS is the only school in the nation that has the ability to confer academic degrees). While in high school, I tutored English Literature to newly immigrated college students. Additionally, I received an I.B. diploma after completing the 2-year program, studied abroad in Singapore at Nanyang Technological University as a college Sophomore, speak Fluent Russian, and have taken a broad range of subjects including: Statistics, History of Capitalism, History of Science, Astronomy, Intercultural Behavior, etc. I think learning is a life-long experience that should extend beyond the classroom. Therefore, I am a big proponent of holistic education and critical thinking so students can have the tools they need when they face the world. Although I love learning from every subject, I have a particular fondness for English and History.

I'm looking to help students who could use one-on-one, thoughtful, and collaborative support in history, English, and persuasive writing. Tutoring with me won't be about sitting at a screen while I talk at you. We're going to have a conversation, work through problems together, and figure out what you need to become a stronger and more confident student. My goal is not just to help you get through a particular assignment, but to help you develop skills that you can carry forward. I'm looking forward to working with you!

I am a senior at Drexel University studying Biology with a minor in Bioinformatics.
