...sense of shame and guilt; therefore, it was an extremely humbling moment for me to realize that I had so completely underestimated his capacity for such profound and beautiful words. I quickly realized that I was just as guilty of the snobbery that I despised in others. Yet, each day my frustrations with the systemic lack of high expectations for these students quickly melted as they proved time and again their ability to learn. My...

I am a recent medical school graduate excited to spend extra time teaching and tutoring other students. I know how important it was for me to meet the right mentors along the way to college at Yale and to medical school at Stanford, and I would love to help mentor you along your journey, too! My hobbies include: running, take spinning and cardio kickboxing classes, listening to RadioLab and This American Life, and cooking.... Every student...

...creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to...

...still amazes me how a few simple equations can apply to so many situations, including things we experience every day. My preferred teaching style involves a little bit of give and take. I think I excel at giving students new ways to think about certain problems which may give them a better understanding of the material. I don't feel like it has been a productive session unless I come away having learned something as well....

...UCLA. I have been a tutor of K-12 Maths and Sciences for several years for both groups and individuals. My tutoring style tends not towards lecturing, but rather jointly delving into complex problems with students. Rather than merely arriving the answer, I want my students to understand step by step each fundamental concept that makes up the whole issue. Aside from physics and tutoring, I love the outdoors and adventure. I have scaled ascended 20,000...

...different subjects at summer school. In reality, however, my experience with teaching new concepts to students began well before this, as I helped fellow classmates understand what was taught in class. I pride myself in being well-rounded in my academic pursuits, and the subjects I teach range from mathematics to the sciences, along with geography, critical reading, and writing. Not surprisingly, my favorite subject to teach is biology, mainly because of the strong and long-standing...

...which helps them learn more quickly, retain new skills better, and enjoy the tutoring sessions more. I particularly enjoy teaching science, writing, and test prep. With test prep I've found that supplemental work on fundamental skills helps students improve their scores much more than working through a test prep book alone. Watching students develop confidence in their abilities and improve their performance makes my tutoring sessions some of the best hours of my week!

I was born and raised in Nigeria. I moved to the United States in 2003. I have BS degree in Biochemistry, that I received in 2002 while in Nigeria and a BA in Economics / Pre-Med from Lehman College. I graduated from Ross University School of Medicine in June 2014. I hope to be an Internist in future. I have tutored extensively for years and volunteered for various non-profit organizations.

...simply memorize concepts or regurgitate facts but truly understand the material. I ask them to defend their answers which teaches them that the correct response is often less important than the reasoning used to reach said response. I honestly believe that anyone can learn anything given enough time and patience. I try my best to not only be a teacher but also a role model to my students and to interact with them as people...

...am a graduate of the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education at City College, an accelerated seven-year combined B.S./M.D. program. I completed my medical education at SUNY Downstate College of Medicine. Since graduation, I have been doing research in cardiology and pursuing a Master鈥檚 Degree in Public Health at SUNY Downstate. I graduated Summa Cum Laude as a Biomedical major at Brooklyn Technical High School, where I tutored fellow classmates for the SAT/ PSAT/ SSAT/...

...finally selected an intelligent, organized, and serious mentor that was heavily invested in my success. To have a mentor that is invested in your success is a fantastic feeling. Suddenly, my motivation increased, my grades improved and I was accepted into very good colleges and programs. That was my goal. I couldn't reach that goal without my mentor. My mentor taught me more than just English, Writing, ACT/SAT, he taught me humility, determination, and confidence....

I am a currently a medical student who loves to teach. I completed my undergraduate degree at Rowan University in 2010 with a bachelors in Biology.

...am currently a first year graduate student at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health working towards my Masters in Public Health in environmental health sciences. For my undergraduate, I attended Fordham University and received a Bachelors degree in both biology and anthropology. I know how difficult advanced science and math classes can be on top of other studies, and I am really looking to work through these issues with potential students. I am available for...

...that to my students. Once a subject is truly understood, tests will be easy, and great grades will follow. With this mindset, I have become talented at understanding where a student's problems with subject matter lie, mainly because I have probably experienced the same issues when I started learning these subjects. Now, I feel confident in passing on my knowledge to other people, and I feel that my last seven years of teaching demonstrate my...

...six years as a Systems Engineer with the Department of Defense, I recently decided to switch careers in order to pursue a calling in Medicine. This decision required a return to academia to complete a litany of core science classes required for medical school. Having recently completed these requirements, I would be thrilled to assist students in their journey through these subjects. With the new MCAT format heavily emphasizing Biochemistry, I feel confident that I...

...and chemistry as well as making sure that the students I taught grasped the fundamentals. Though that was my initial intent, I got to learn so much more. I got to learn how other people approached problems and learned many new ways to solve problems through their creativity. I also learned many recurring misconceptions and common mistakes that students make. The most important thing I got from tutoring at Pacific was the enjoyment I got...

...educational experiences, I have learned to appreciate the impact that teachers make on the lives of young student. I also realise that the skills and knowledge acquired in the classroom, will be used by students throughout life. Therefore, as a tutor, I hope to be a role model that cultivates in young people, the knowledge and ability to look at the world critically, and the belief in ones capacity to make positive contributions to society.

...on how to properly approach the problems and hitting all the necessary bases with content review. For my teaching style, I like to teach students how to best approach and understand complex concepts with confidence so that they will build up the skill set required to solve and understand problems effortlessly. I believe in a personalized approach to tutoring and always customize my lessons based on the student's learning style and academic goals. By eliminating...

...a student you helped master the material in front of you and run through problems like they're nothing. My favorite question since childhood has been "why?". I was never a fan of just memorizing facts, because not only do you not really understand the material, but you are likely to forget it. That principle has transitioned over to my tutoring style. We start from the most basic, simplest core of the concept. Once we understand...

...undergrad years I worked with Pre-K children through Americorps' Jumpstart program. I learned how to communicate with children who were between the ages of 3 and 5 years and came to a better understanding of how children learn from their environment. After my graduation, I taught 8th graders who were being home-schooled. I absolutely loved to create a bit of excitement in learning science and math. And, during med school, I tutored my peers and...
