Private tutor in Philadelphia, PA

Education

Temple University, BA Psychology Touro College of Osteopathic , Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Biological and Physical Sciences I have gained intense education in biological and physical sciences that prepare one for the first year of medical school. Because my master's degree was taken with first year medical students, I specialize in tutoring life sciences courses that prepare students on a pre-medical study track.

Experience

I have about 6 years of experience tutoring, facilitation, and being a teaching assistant for elementary, high school, and undergraduate students. My ultimate aim is to help students become confident independent learners, by encouraging students to participate in the process of learning or planning as they works towards successfully achieving their academic goals. Because the subjects I tutor in are known to cause frustration in mastering, I enjoy finding a creative ways to work with students that goes beyond words and concepts; one that provides direct experiential access to intuition, insight and transformation. My goal is to make the most of my student’s time and resources, so their own views on the structure and content of my tutoring session should always be of primary importance. Because everyone has a unique learning style, I encourage regular feedback to ensure we have the most effective and successful outcomes. I have always had a passion for learning, particularly in the health science subjects. I know what it’s like to struggle understanding concepts that may seem impossible to master, but in time, I’ve learned that in every subject, it’s about figuring out what learning style works best for you. I enjoy helping others understand this and gain confidence in their ability to succeed. Relevant undergraduate courses I have taken 1. General Chemistry I & II 2. Human Biology 3. Intro to Biology I & II Relevant master's/medical school level courses I have taken 1. Anatomy and Embryology 10 credits 2. Physiology 3. Biochemistry 4. Genetics 5. Microbiology-Immunology 6. Histology 7. Neuroanatomy 8. Pharmacology
