"My name is Jeff and I am a full-time professional science tutor with a passion for teaching and a track record of helping students raise their grades, improve their self-confidence, and enjoy subjects they once hated. I have worked as a tutor since high school, tutoring my friends in return for chicken sandwiches. Unfortunately, I cannot pay my rent in chicken sandwiches, but if I could, that would still be my rate.

I attended college at the University of Virginia where I worked as a tutor for the Athletic Department and helped student athletes improve their grades and study habits. I then completed a Post-Baccalaureate program in order to complete all of my pre-med coursework. During my post-bacc, I tutored college students in Bio, Orgo, and Physics. I finished my post-bacc with a 4.0 GPA and scored in the 95th percentile on my MCAT. During the summer after my first year in medical school, I worked as a Gross Anatomy teaching assistant and instructed both Physical Therapy and Physician Assistant students in the fundamentals of Gross Anatomy. This was an amazing experience and it taught me that my true love will always be teaching others and helping them achieve their goals, no matter how daunting they may seem.

I tutor Biology, General Chemistry, Physics, Organic Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology at all levels from middle school, to high school, to AP and IB, to college level. Additionally, I can help with MCAT review and walk you through the medical school application process (i.e. work out a timeline, help brainstorm essay topics, etc.)

My tutoring philosophy is to present the material in a way that the student can easily relate to. If a student likes formulas, we will describe phenomena using formulas. If a student prefers learning visually with drawings and diagrams, then I will employ those. I will literally do anything possible and will present the material as many ways as necessary until it sticks in the student's mind.

I am also a coach. In hiring me, I will be your biggest supporter." less...
