I am a recent graduate of Wake Forest University. I graduated, with honors, with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Chemistry with a concentration in biochemistry. During my time at Wake Forest University I worked as tutor in the Chemistry Department. I tutored fellow students in general and organic chemistry. I clarified chemical concepts, explained chemical structures and mechanisms, and further developed friendships with a variety of students. In addition to tutoring I became an adviser and reassured my peers that chemistry was not impossible to conquer and encouraged them to keep persevering. I am more than happy not only to help solve other's problems, but also inspire others to maybe one day love chemistry as much as I do. I also tutored a local high schooler during my last semester at Wake Forest University. I explained chemical concepts, reviewed class material and homework, and provided test taking skills for her upcoming AP Chemistry Exam. I not only have a passion for chemistry but also to help others excel because I know what it is like to be in their shoes. Some of my favorite moments in the past have been when students reach their "aha!" moment because I explained something in a creative way or gave them a funny saying in order to remember something. I can't wait to help others reach their "aha!" moment.

I earned a B.S. degree in Biology from Wake Forest University and a Ph.D. in CellBiology and Molecular Genetics from the University of Maryland. In addition to my fulltime research responsibilities as a graduate student, I served as a teaching assistant forundergraduate Microbiology and Cell Biology laboratory courses. My scientific researchbackground is in cell biology and genetics, and as such, these areas are my favoritesubjects to teach. I am available to teach general high school biology, as well as moreadvanced upper level high school and undergraduate biology courses. In myexperiences teaching a diverse student population, I have come to realize that a fear oflearning difficult material is a major roadblock to successful science learning for many students. I strive toimprove science education by making science seem more accessible to students andreinforcing the “big picture” of a particular lesson before delving into the fine details. Iam confident that this approach will lead to long term success in retaining scientificknowledge and foster critical thinking skills. I am an avid runner and general sportsenthusiast, and spend as much of my spare time as possible partaking in outdooractivities.

I am passionate about helping students advance their math and reading skills, especially at ages where they are learning fundamental ideas that they will use for the rest of their academic careers.

I graduated summa cum laude from Wake Forest University. My degree was in philosophy, my minor in economics, and I took upper level math classes for entrance into economics grad school. In short, I have tremendous experience taking standardized tests (Scoring in the 99% of the LSAT) and academic tests (I completed my Wake Forest degree with a 3.8 GPA).My experience working with students began in high school, where for four years I taught and mentored ice hockey players ages 6-14 in year round clinics and camps. Then, during college, I spent a semester in South America and paid my daily expenses through tutoring Chilean high school students in English.Studying for an important test is not a question of innate ability as much as it is about knowing how to maximize effort. I believe the value of a tutor comes from his ability to provide the most effective tutorials as well as his ability to analyze his student's unique learning style and approach and offer observation and advice. When it comes to studying for the LSAT, it's 33% learning the test, 33% sustaining motivation, and 34% evaluation of one's approach/style. As a tutor, I see my job as supporting a student in all three ways, more like a personal trainer than a teacher. I've seen how to improve 10 deciles on standardized test--enough to change your options to the next tier of schools--in 3 months.I spent 3 months and 450 hours studying the LSAT. Some of it was very productive, some of it wasn't . As students prepare to embark on a long investment of their time and efforts on this incredibly decisive test, I want to share what I learned about the test, and what I learned about study methods, to maximize their time spent preparing and boosting their chances of going to the school they belong.I break my approach to the LSAT down into three parts over three months. I run students through a diagnostic questionnaire to asses their strengths, commitment and availability. I recommend a core set of materials, provide encouragement throughout the studying process, and keep data on progress to best support a student through her training. Typically, one only takes the LSAT once, maybe twice. That means that you get one 3 month period to prepare. Don't be caught 2 months in feeling like you could have made more progress had you approached studying differently. Get support from someone who's been through the process. Let's work together!

I've been an entrepreneur, business consultant, and faculty member for over 16 years. My credentials include being a CPA with a Juris Doctor, Master of Accountancy, and Bachelor of Science in Business. My greatest strengths are being a good listener, creating strategy, and following through. I'm empathetic, but I don't back down from excuses because I know that within every "can't" is a "can". I admire truth and transparency.

I am a high school English teacher and have taught middle school language arts as well. Before switching careers and becoming a teacher, I was also an attorney for 15 years. Through my varied background and education, I believe that I relate well to many different types of students and that I have the knowledge and experience to help them master any reading or writing-related difficulties that they may be experiencing.

I'm a professional writer, editor, and graduate-level researcher with 10+ years of experience helping students strengthen clarity, flow, argument structure, and self-confidence. I can support your studies as a writing coach, college essay specialist, humanities tutor, ACT, AP, and IB test prep (History and English). We can work through narrative structure, how to find the best supporting evidence for your arguments, and much more. When we work together, my goal is for you to learn tangible skills while feeling supported in achieving high marks in school (whether you're in high school, undergrad, or a graduate student!) Educational Background: I attended Wake Forest University for my undergraduate studies, where I double-majored in English and Political Science & International Relations, with a minor in Entrepreneurship. I later earned a master's degree in Strategic Intelligence & Analysis from Northeastern University, with a concentration in Human Rights Law and Counterterrorism.

As an experienced tutor, I am confident in my ability to help students improve their understanding of literature, their writing, and their standardized test scores.

I am a 2019 Elon University graduate with a bachelor's degree in English literature (concentration in Victorian literature and history) and will begin an M.A. program in the fall. I have served as a teaching assistant, a university Writing Center tutor, and a personal tutor for all ages. I am available to help with resums, job, internship, or fellowship applications, personal statements, college essays, grammar, and reading comprehension. Please see my subject specialties for a full list.

I'm a registered nurse and thirdyear law student who focuses on essay editing, reading and writing support (including ACT preparation), and NCLEX prep. I passed the NCLEX on my first try, earned a 33 on the ACT, and bring strong skills in reading comprehension, academic writing, and personal statement refinement. I take a clear, supportive, and structured approach with students, breaking down complex material into manageable steps and teaching practical strategies they can use independently.

I'm a recent MA graduate from the University of Chicago with a concentration in History. I can help with History, English, Reading, and Writing, specifically with helping edit and write essays. My time in higher education has left me with a passion for furthering the educational goals of students. I believe tutoring is a great way to help students be more enthusiastic and confident about specific subject areas.Currently, during weekdays, I'm working in downtown Chicago as a paralegal for a major international law firm. Weekends are the only times I can commit to tutoring.In my free time, I enjoy watching sports, cooking, traveling, and photography.

I started teaching students as an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina Asheville where as a junior and senior I tutored freshman and sophomores in general and organic chemistry. Seeing the lights of understanding in my students eyes was what hooked me.Teaching community college helped refine my teaching style and showcase the importance of keeping students focused on their goals while keeping classes interesting.After earning a bachelors degree in chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Asheville I received my masters in biochemistry and molecular biology from Wake Forest University.When I tutor I try to bring in real life examples based on what I know interests my student and keep students motivated by keeping them focused on their goals.Helping students surpass me is the most rewarding experience.
