Organic Chemistry, Neuroscience, and More!

I have worked within a wide expanse of teaching environments, from small group settings and classroom teaching (including lecture-based learning), down to individualized, one-on-one sessions. I have an arsenal of old exams, pre-made practice exams, and enough problemsets to keep you occupied until retirement, and am determined to help each student achieve the best possible suite of study skills, conceptual mastery, and critical thinking that will allow him/her to succeed.
I graduated from Binghamton University (SUNY) in 2008 with a double degree in Linguistics (B.A.) and Neuroscience (B.S.). After working as a behavioral neuroscience research technician for nearly two years, I pursued a position in 2010 at Cornell University within their Behavioral and Evolutionary Neuroscience program. I am currently a doctoral student in Neuroscience at Tufts University Sackler School of Graduate ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I'm patient and listen to the student to see what they get and don't get about the premise of the lesson. Then we get to it. Careful reinforcement of the Correct method will ensure Remembrance and Results. Also, Lessons must be approached within the context of the Big Picture. Students need to realize that there are no pointless or forgettable sections. Basically, communication is key followed by practice, reinforcement, more practice. Learning can be at pace, but laziness and whining will not be tolerated.
I have a Bachelor of Art in History, predominantly American. I also pursued Engineering for my first year and plan to go back to College. I have completed through Calculus II and am also experienced in hands-on mechanical. I have limited tutoring experience, but I know I can listen and respond. Any experience came from helping others in classes during College.

I love helping students achieve educational goals. I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and the right to be a successful student. Not everyone processes things the same way, I like to use my students' individual learning styles to dictate how I teach. The goal of tutoring is to assist the individual and therefore I adapt my style to suit the specific needs of each student.
As a graduate of one of the premier Universities in the United States I have had an opportunity to learn from the very best higher education has to offer. Over the past several years, I have reinforced my editorial skills as a college and graduate school admissions coach, helping students prepare for standardized tests, write and edit essays for University applications and prepare for interviews. I have experience in teaching English and Sociology as a Teaching Apprentice at the University level ... read more

I enjoy seeing the "A ha" moment that students get when a concept becomes clear to them. I am not a big fan of memorization and have encouraged students to not only understand the concepts, but to also link the concepts together into a big picture understanding. Also, I believe that with hard work everyone can achieve their goals and that everyone has their own pace and capacity for learning. The trick is to motivate them into thinking that they could always do more, which they usually can.
I am currently a graduate student in Medical Sciences at Boston University. I have taken many biology and chemistry courses during my studies, and I feel comfortable tutoring: molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, general/organic chemistry, and general biology. In addition, I have also taken the entire lower division math sequence for engineers, so I am able to teach elementary math up ... read more

During my years attending UMass Dartmouth, I recieved my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology with a minor in Business Administration. But I also gained alot of experience working with children. I tutored elementary age students in the star program and college students at my campus job in the Unity House. I also was the coordinator for the New Bedford Speech Academy. This program taught students fron 4-6th grade public speaking skills. I have applied the skills I learned to my current job as a home tutor. I tutor elementary to high school students in all subjects.
My teaching style is unique to each student's indivdual needs. I take time to recognize my students learning style and provide the need materials or teaching style based their needs. I prefer tutoring to working in a classroom because I can give each student the specialized one-on-one time they need to help not only keep ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

When it comes to teaching writing, there are a number of different approaches and techniques, and while each will appeal to different people, all are valid. I believe the most important factors in teaching a student how to write well are practice and praise. I would show, by example in other’s work and especially the student’s own work, what has been done well, and encourage more of it. I’d also encourage the student to explore his or her writing voice and to get comfortable converting thoughts into written words. I am very patient, laid back, and organized, and I believe that everyone has the potential to become a strong, competent, and confident writer. I love teaching because it allows me to share my passion for writing with others.
In Spring 2009, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Duke University and was offered a merit scholarship to the MFA in Creative Writing Program at ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a student who has achieved academic excellence at a tri-fecta of prestigious Boston schools, I am committed to promoting the value of education. In 2006, I earned a bachelor's degree in Communications and Hispanic Studies from Boston College, which enabled me to gain a thorough knowledge and understanding of language and communicative arts. I also developed excellent communication and writing skills through writing intensive seminars and public speaking courses, along with essays in many various areas of study. I am currently pursuing a law degree at Northeastern University School of Law and a master's in public health at Tufts University School of Medicine. Completing both degrees in 2009, I continue to develop a wide range of skills. I have tutored elementary and middle school students in reading, mathematics, science, English grammar, writing skills, and study skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

Education has always been a very important part of my life. Upon graduating high school, I went directly to college at Eastern Michigan University. I earned my BS in Psychology in four years, working as an assistant preschool teacher for one and a half years during that time. After graduating, I worked as a special education teacher for four months before taking a job in social services. I have decided to pursue an MS in Psychology and I expect to complete the program in May 2007. I also spent several months in 2005 tutoring students at a learning center in language arts, reading, and math.
I enjoy being a part of any child's learning experience. I understand the individuality of each child and strive to respond to them as such. This means I try to grasp each student's learning style and adjust my teaching approach accordingly. I strive to create a positive learning environment ... read more

Whether I am helping a student with prioritizing assignments, studying for tests, teaching study skills, or guiding him or her process of writing papers, I strive to promote metacognitive awareness throughout the tutoring experience. Students ultimately need to develop an awareness of how they learn best and what strategies work for them. It is my job to facilitate this process while yielding improved academic results through collaboration with students along the way.
Over the course of my years as a Learning Specialist in a university setting, and as Master Tutor Certified by The College Reading and Learning Association, I have developed and refined successful techniques with students who may struggle with the following: executive functioning issues, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, Asberger’s Syndrome, English as a Second Language, and various non-verbal learning disabilities. MI also have ex ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a firm believer in a well rounded education and that excellence in one subject complements excellence in another. Although I majored in Economics and minored in history, I took an abundance of science courses in order to satisfy prerequisites for dental school (not to mention my course load in dental school). Pursuing the liberal arts has enabled me to have a broad perspective and approach to all subject areas and equipped me to be proficient in tutoring Chemistry, Biology, Economics, English, History, Mathematics, and most other disciplines.
I believe in making subject matter relevant to your child's life and strive to transform dry or abstract theory into an area of enlivened academic interest. One's ability to learn is directly proportional to the interest that can be mustered for the subject and it is not subjects, but the presentation of subjects, that fluctuate in thei ... read more

I have a passion for knowledge, and have tutored high school and college students in the area of History, reading, and writing composition. I love teaching, and watching the student progress and excel!
My teaching style is more along the lines of the Montessori system. Given the freedom and much direction from the tutor, the student will often "discover" the essence of the lesson. In discovering the essence of the lesson, the student will take ownership. In taking ownership, the student in turn will develop pride, self worth, and a thirst for more knowledge and more successes.

As an MIT graduate, I was particularly driven to excel in science and mathematics courses so as to be able to apply these to engineering and technology problems. I subsequently obtained two doctorate degrees: one in medicine and the second in law. I am currently working on the development and patenting of medical devices to improve medical care for patients. I have always loved teaching and tutoring and have done it for many years to supplement my income. My students tell me that I can explain the material in a very understandable way.
I really love teaching and finding different ways of using analogies and similarities to explain difficult concepts. I have been very successful in teaching the sciences and mathematics courses in an understandable way. I believe that everyone is capable of learning the material, it simply needs to be presented in the correct way. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My education degree in journalism reflects my interest and expertise in a wide variety of subjects. Most importantly, I have the ability to communicate, written or orally, and to prioritize and organize. Also, having worked with troubled teens, I find I am at home with difficult learning situations and a wide variety of students. I am comfortable with English (reading, writing, grammar, speeches), basic math, Spanish, basic sciences, and psychology.
My passion is for empowering young adults; perhaps the mantra is "educate to elevate". I have been told I build trust quickly, especially with difficult-to-reach students. Once trust is established there is a burden to do whatever is best for that student. Deadlines go better with a patient hand; discipline goes better with a sense of humor; details are better appreciated with a larger motivational goal. Failure is an underrated ... read more
