Experience
Previous Experience: Tutored a 2nd grader in Math during the Summer (2014), Tutored a Freshman in High School in Algebra during the Summer (2014). Tennis instructor for students ages 5-16 (Summer 2011). Scores: SAT: 2200 (Math: 800, Verbal: 730, Writing: 670) MCAT: 33 (12 Physical, 11 Verbal, 10 Biology) AP Tests: Physics B+C (4s), Statistics (4), AB Calculus (4), Government and Politics (5) I am drawn to tutoring because I like to learn, and I enjoy explaining my favorite topics to other people! I LOVE any type of puzzle because it tests your ability to think in more ways than just one. Tutoring is like a puzzle; all students learn in a slightly different way, and finding the best method for learning a topic is essential to grasping the material. For example, I am a visual learner. It doesn't matter how many times someone verbally explains something to me, I need to see a visual representation of the material or else it doesn't click for me. I really enjoy talking with other people and I have always been a burst of energy, so together we will try to have the most enjoyable, relaxing tutoring session we can, while learning the material with a method that works best for you! I have taken all Pre-med science courses including 3 Physics with Calculus, 2 Chemistry classes, 2 Organic Chemistry Classes with Lab, Intro to Biology, Biochem (and Biochem in Medical School), Physiology (also undergrad and medical school), along with Math up until Calculus 2 in undergrad. I'd be happy to share my transcript with you, if requested.

Hobbies
Although our tutoring sessions sadly won't include any athletic activities, I do love playing and watching sports. My favorite sports are Tennis, followed by Basketball and Golf. I'm originally from Connecticut so my favorite sports teams are the Yankees, Brooklyn Nets, and NY Giants (we can still get along if your favorite team has a rivalry!). In my spare time I like to hang out with friends, watch movies, and spend time with my family. I like to find the humor in everything around me and I enjoy talking to people, no matter what the conversation is. I look forward to meeting you!
