2+ Years Tutoring

Hi everyone! My name is Kylee. I'm a third year medical student who originally was interested in law, took the LSAT, and then decided to take the MCAT and go to medical school. I'm at an MD program in Pennsylvania. I'm very passionate about teaching and have tutored a lot over the years. I believe that practice problems are a huge part of learning that isn't taught well in high school/college level. I've worked with students with several different learning styles and who have reported learning difficulties. The thing I struggled with the most throughout school was the volume of information that we are often responsible for knowing. I've developed tons of tricks throughout my academic career to help with that. I'm super excited to meet you and hope that I can help you meet your academic goals!

8+ Years Tutoring

I graduated from Jefferson University with a Bachelor's degree in science in Accounting. I volunteered in the learning Lab when I was at College to help students in Accounting and French to thank other tutors and teachers who were there when I needed help. Also, I have private clients in Mathematics, Economics, GED subjects and elementary school courses. In addition, I have experience working with students with disabilities. I am most passionate of teaching French, my native language, because I like to see students learning new language. Beside that, Accounting is a subject that I am always inspired to teach. Helping students and creating in them the inspiration to solve learning issues make me happy! I like to use many examples to demonstrate the courses for a good understanding of the subjects. During my free time, I enjoy reading books to improve myself, playing with my children,traveling and running.

BA Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus • Doctor of Medicine, Medicine Thomas Jefferson University
1+ Years Tutoring

I have been tutoring students of all ages for the past 10 years. In that time, I have learned that all students have a passion for learning. However, they may not necessarily know that, or be able to express it in the 'normal' method of education.My goal has always been to encourage this passion. To that end, I work with my student to find the teaching method that works best for them, whether it is lecturing, working by example, or simply drawing out the concepts. I also personalize my lessons to the student's interest, so that they stay engaged, and are able to remember the lesson better.As I stated earlier, I have been tutoring for the last 10 years. I have experience with students from the age of 6, up through college age students. My main specialties are math and science, at all levels with some experience in grade school level English and writing.

PhD Thomas Jefferson University • BA University of Delaware
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a PhD candidate at Thomas Jefferson University studying prostate cancer cell and molecular biology. I have always been fascinated by the way our world works. During my undergraduate career I experienced the joy of passing that knowledge to others through teaching assistantships in functional anatomy and leading workshops in general chemistry. I have privately tutored in both subjects and I also have experience working with middle school students and teaching basic science and experimental methods. Whether your future career involves science or not, I am committed to helping student understanding of biology and chemistry fundamentals and employ a combination of active and visual learning techniques to supplement the textbook material. I am passionate about making the sciences approachable, as introductory courses in the area can be intimidating

Praneel
BA Pennsylvania State University • Professional (JD, MD, DMD, etc) Thomas Jefferson University
2+ Years Tutoring

Hi! My name is Praneel. I'm currently a research fellow in orthopedic surgery at Rothman Orthopedics, completing a gap year before matriculating to Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in 2027. I earned my undergraduate degree at Penn State as part of the Penn StateSKMC 7-Year BS/MD Program, minoring in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. I scored a 1560 on the SAT and am also a certified EMT both experiences that sharpened how I break down complex material and stay calm and structured under pressure, which shapes how I tutor today. My passion for tutoring started with my own college application process, where I found essay writing and self-presentation genuinely exciting. That led me to start helping other students do the same. I founded my own college consulting practice, guiding students through brainstorming, drafting, and revising personal statements and supplemental essays to help them find an authentic voice rather than a generic one. I focus primarily on biology, chemistry, SAT prep, and college essays, subjects I've studied deeply through my pre-med track and genuinely enjoy teaching. My approach is responsive and structured. For biology and chemistry, I break dense material into clear, intuitive concepts instead of rote memorization. For SAT prep, I build individualized study plans targeting each student's specific gaps. For essays, I help students find the stories only they can tell and sharpen the writing around that idea. I'm available between sessions for questions and treat every student's goals as a shared project. Feel free to reach out anytime to ask questions or schedule a lesson!
