Hello! I am currently enrolled in the 8-year BS/MD combined medical program at Drexel University. I have always loved tutoring, and have experience tutoring high school level students, as well as college level students. In terms of tutoring high schools students, I have experience tutoring students in both high school level biology and high school level chemistry, for both students taking regular science classes and honors/AP classes. I have also taken many AP classes in my time in high schools, and have completed taking all of the introductory science classes in biology and chemistry in college. I am also able to tutor in a wide range of subjects, including college entrance exams and can aid in the college application process! As someone who applied to over twenty colleges, and took both the SAT and ACT, I feel that I have a sufficient amount of experience in terms of being able to provide advice in how to write college application essays, and I was able to get a perfect score on the SAT, and a 35/36 on the ACT. I also have experience in terms of tutoring college students in complex subjects, like organic chemistry and biochemistry, in which I received As or above.
In terms of my tutoring style, I like tutoring in a more involved way that not only teaches the subject but in a way that ensures that the student develops a deep understanding. Especially in tutoring the sciences, I try to make sure that students are involved when I tutor by giving out practice problems and by including practice problems throughout the lesson that I develop. This approach has been proven in the past to help students develop a deeper understanding of the subjects because they are given the opportunity to test what they've learned and practice their skills, which enables them to ask questions when they need help. Oftentimes when being taught, I used to think that I understood a certain topic or lesson, but found that when I had to do associated problems, I was stuck or didn't quite understand the application of what I had learned.
