...approach. Then together we will develop a new strategy. I am personally an auditory and visual learner, and struggle to stay focused in lectures lasting more than 30 minutes. Therefore, my strategies for my own success and the success of my students include interactive activities, use of diagrams, lots of color, repetition, funny or memorable stories, and use of current events. I am also always open to trying any new strategies suggested by my students....

...Institute of Research in a flow cytometry lab, which specializes in research for malaria vaccine development. After my research internship ended, I began attending the University of Maryland, College Park as a post-baccalaureate student seeking a second degree in General Biology (B.S.), which I obtained in August 2016. My extensive educational background and previous research experiences at WRAIR and Johns Hopkins gave me the opportunity to learn how to communicate complex scientific ideas through discussions,...

...science concepts into much simpler and manageable concepts to understand. I believe this will really help the students I tutor to learn and grasp the material. It truly brightens my day to see the excitement in students eyes when they finally understand the material after putting in the effort. However, the most satisfying aspect of tutoring for me is not just being able to help the students understand the material, but to be able to...

...I believe I am able to connect with students more easily and understand their perspective when approaching difficult topics. I am patient with my students and always do my preparation before a lesson so that my time with the student is efficient. I strive to not only teaching the material in an effective manner, but instill the confidence needed so that the student can flourish in the classroom setting. I believe it is my combination...

...learn, while also being open to new approaches, can make science great fun to learn! One of the great things about science, in fact, is that there are a hundred different resources that will teach you the same material a hundred different ways. Knowing what works best for you, and why, will make mastering material painless and even fun. Outside of science, I enjoy running, traveling, and volunteering. I have had a chance to hike...

...why it works. Ultimately, I enjoy teaching because both the student and I can simultaneously improve in a process that never ceases to make us better. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy pretty much any activity that gets me outside, especially if that outside happens to be in the woods or near the beach (I am from Florida after all...). While outside, I usually find myself running (again, in the woods if possible), reading, or...

...to students, assisting with homework, and breaking down difficult material into more understandable terms. I have a diverse and strong experience in mathematics, including algebra, geometry, calculus, and trigonometry. I come from a family of engineers and was always taught to understand the root of concepts in order to be able to apply them fluidly when problem-solving. I have studied, enjoyed, and done well in psychology, biology (cell, molecular, genetics), chemistry, physiology, physics, anatomy, and...

I am also very...

...in a USDA-funded project which examines the safety of pre-harvest produce in organic agricultural environments. In the position, I also train and mentor numerous undergraduate students in Microbiology, lab protocol and food safety. I will tutor in Biology, Life Science and Science, however I am very passionate about Microbiology. In my experience, each student is unique and no one person has the same learning style, so it is important to first find out how a...

...some form of appreciation for the subjects I am help them with. I received my Bachelor's Degree from Xavier University of Louisiana where I majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with honors in Biology, Chemistry and English. While a student there, I served as a Biology tutor and also helped students in other subjects such as Chemistry and Physics. After graduating, I attended the University of Maryland School of...

I am also a certified Medical Technologist. I love working with students one on one and guide them through the material in such a way that they feel comfortable and confident with the scientific concept or reading passage. Currently, I enjoy tutoring in Washington DC (Arlington area) and spending my free...

...confronting challenging topics. One of my favored methods in how to get past those barriers is to unpack an abstract concept (such as mRNA translation, for example) into both cartoon and word pictures so that we all "see" the big picture, then add the vocabulary to the concept once all are ready to move on. Not surprisingly, I am a bit of a story teller and have more than a few book ideas floating around...

Since a lot of my time was devoted to studying for these exams in the past, I have gained experience when it comes to working under pressure and have now developed several test-taking strategies....

...tutor and his/her students is also of the utmost importance. My tutoring style consists of creating objectives for each lesson, providing check points along the lesson to ensure understanding, and explaining a subject in more than one way. I also summarize the lesson at the end and provide learning pearls as well as mnemonics to make it easier for my students to grasp the concepts. I also like to see how a student approaches a...

...teach them in different ways. I tailor my tutoring to fit the learning style of the student. I think that is really important because it is very hard for a visual learner to learn from just listening. I also engage the student in learning. For example, having them label a diagram that I have just talked about. Most important -I encourage my students to ask questions, make comments, even disagree with me. I like making...

...science. I also spent a year in AmeriCorps, where I was a residential counselor for students in a residential academic program here in Baltimore. There's no one right way to learn and I believe students are most successful when their instructor is able to meet them where they are.
