As a Pre-medical student, studying Neuroscience, I aspire to one day become a neurosurgeon. In my quest, I’ve decided first—to become a surgical technologist. I’ve served as an ST on annual surgical missions to the Philippines and have dedicated two-years to a clinical internship at Valley Presbyterian Hospital. As I advanced my education in Neuroscience I became responsible for biweekly presentations on various topics such as neurogenesis in Alzheimer’s disease, and neuroanatomical correlates in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging. I was a Subject Area Tutor for Organic Chemistry and Biology, as well as a Surgical Technology Instructor at Glendale Career College. Recently I was asked to give a Guest Lecture on Neuroanatomy at Everest College. I wanted to take students on a ride through the nervous system, into subcortical structures, down the spinal cord to synapse onto muscles and or

I tutored philosophy students for a year while in college. I earned a master's degree in early childhood education and taught second grade for two years. I also was a substitute teacher for grades K-8th. Currently, I am a motivational speaker and a mentor through United We Mentor. My teaching style involves a positive approach. I believe students learn best in an environment that is both positive and challenging. Positive feedback is essential because students are encouraged to take risks and solve problems. A challenging classroom teaches critical thinking skills that are necessary for the global market.

Love to teach complex concepts in Chemistry with easy to understand analogies and provide variety of reference materials to generate interest in students. Clearly understand the student's needs and tailor the subject material, but also provide counseling and clear subject doubts. 34 years of research experience in Solid State Chemistry at leading national laboratories in India. About 15 years, I taught Chemistry at different levels, including for Masters' and Under graduate students. Also, taught General Chemistry for MCAT students on behalf of "Princeton Review" at California State University, Northridge.

I have always centered my approach around building knowledge from the base up. After working with a number of students, and paying close attention to my own habits, I realized that the most effective way to learn would be to fully understand the basics first. For this reason, I work with my students in a delicate and patient manner in guiding them through the process of learning. I promote an active and dynamic learning experience where they can easily become engaged in the topics at hand and effectively grasp the material. My flexible teaching style allows me to adapt when working with a wide range of personalities. I began tutoring students during my junior year in high school. After completing my first few sessions, I became aware of the mutual benefits of such an arrangement. Not only did my students expand their knowledge base and improve their grades, but I also felt a great

I enjoy class discussion and participation when I am teaching in classroom. I would recommend my students to review the course ahead of time. Once I explain the subject, it will clarify any ambiguity. The other strategy that I use is to ask the students to pretend that they are the teacher and have them explain it back to me. This has been one of the best methods that help students realize whether they have understood the concept. I graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a bachelor's degree in Molecular and Cell Biology. I began teaching organic chemistry, shortly after my graduation, as a Teaching Assistant (TA). In that capacity, I held discussion sections in which I reviewed the subject in detail and worked with students in the laboratory. I worked with groups of twenty students in secondary discussion sections and laboratory experiments. At the same time, I
