I started tutoring while I was still in college around 2012, on and off, but through tutoring I knew education was my calling. As a result, I helped build an educational web app with thousands of registered teachers and students. Helping other students achieve their best potential is something I am deeply passionate about. A better education can open many doors, as it has done for me. Now, I want to be able to do this for my students. When I am not tutoring, I am learning. I'm especially ... Read more

I am an avid reader strong in maths and science from a young age. I have a Bachelor's in engineering. Currently, I am a Computer Science Master's student. I've provided tutoring for students in maths and sciences since high school. In undergrad, I worked for several semesters as a facilitator for seminars in multivariable calculus: meeting twice a week with 3-4 freshman students to teach, practice and review. The first step is always to see what the student already knows, and where they... Read more

Bioengineering is not just an academic discipline, it is a mindset. It is impossible to succeed in my major without being passionate, not just about the field itself, but about math, biology, chemistry, physics, computational modeling, medicine, and everything in between. I am a student driven purely by curiosity of the world and in being so curious, have developed a passion for seeing others succeed in the aforementioned subjects. I spent two years at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania work... Read more

I love tutoring because of the experiences I've had as a student. In my experiences at Richard Montgomery High School's rigorous IB Magnet Program and Stanford University, I've learned how large of a difference a good teacher can make. I also have learned that hard work and dedication to academics pays off. Everybody learns differently - as a student, I memorized songs and created flow charts to study for my AP, IB, SAT, and ACT tests. It took creativity and experimentation to find the learni...

I'm a senior studying Computer Science at Stanford University. Throughout my academic experience I came to realize that despite a good lecturer or interesting material, some subjects require students to bounce around ideas or reinforce concepts in a safe environment that is conducive to learning. While study groups work best in my opinion, I have been fortunate enough to experience the advantages of a good tutor on the development and understanding of a subject and have also participated as a...
