I am the product of two trained teachers and I have always had the desire to share the knowledge that I have gained. I believe that we are all unique individuals and as such grow, learn and process things at different rates. It is therefore very important as a tutor to first access the needs of the pupil. I am a firm believer in teaching through interactive learning. Students learn best from being able to identify things that they have learnt with real life situations. I also believe that patience is one of the qualities of a good educator and with patience mountains can be moved. I strive to make the experience of learning science a meaningful and fun filled one. I have earned both a BS and Ph.D. in Chemistry. I have experience in all areas of chemistry from my extensive research background at several institutions. After completing my doctorate, I spent 4 years at the National Institute

Teaching is my passion. I strongly believe that every moment is a teaching moment, whether or not it is intended to be. I feel that my job as a tutor and as a teacher is to bring out the knowledge within. I understand that every learner is different and for this reason I begin with an assessment of each student. I then try to use their learning habits as a start for future lessons. I believe in learning through experience as opposed to memorization and so every opportunity I try to create a hands-on environment. I also am intentional in personalizing lessons so that they make sense and are fun to the learner. I also stress retention of information through constant review and skill-building. I am a very patient, encouraging, and enthusiastic tutor. I am an upcoming May 2006 graduate from Allegheny College, majoring in English. Given my background at a small, liberal arts college a

As a tutor, my job is to take students from where they are to where they need to be. I can do this successfully for several reasons. First, I am patient. Often student frustration stems from classes proceeding too fast, and teachers lacking time to help slower learners. By patiently working with a student, I can teach at a pace that works best for them, overcoming much discouragement that comes from falling behind. Second, I am very flexible in my teaching methods. If a student is struggling, I am committed to trying different approaches until the student has mastered the concept. Finally, and just as importantly, I am friendly, easygoing, and have a sense of humor. Putting students at ease makes learning easier and more fun for everyone. Having recently completed my doctoral degree, I have a good grasp of what it takes to be successful academically. My degree required extensive trainin

From working with various types of students, I have learned that not everyone can learn material in the same manner. I myself am able to relearn and understand material very quickly and effectively. It is this skill that has allowed me to help friends, "little brothers," and teammates learn material that was previously a struggle for them. I have learned the value of patience when teaching others and will strive to adapt to a students learning style so that they are able to best understand material presented. As a future medical school student, I worked very hard throughout my undergraduate career and was able to obtain a B.S. in both Cellular Neuroscience and Psychology in only 3.5 years. I have participated in Biomedical research both at Allegheny College (neurodegeneration in Drosophila melanogaster) as well as at the University of Pittsburgh (aggregation kinetics of the huntingtin
