Experience
I have over 12 years of experience tutoring all subjects with the greatest emphasis on high school and University English, Writing, Biology, Math (Algebra, Calculus) and Spanish. I have studied abroad in Spain and worked in a clinic in Peru and therefore have a strong grasp of written and spoken Spanish language. I genuinely enjoy teaching and have had successful outcomes in the past (an average increase of 1 full letter grade). I have 2 years of experience as an SAT tutor. Additionally, I have experience in coaching and editing college admission essays. I have also tutored most subjects of the MCAT and the Step 1 medical licensing exam. As a tutor I am empathetic and patient-- I will hone in on a student's style of learning quickly and tailor lessons accordingly. I have extensive experience tutoring over skype and other online teaching platforms.

Hobbies
Since graduating from UC Berkeley, I have been involved in biomedical research focused on cholera and malaria. During medical school, I have found time to read, play tennis and volunteer at the local food bank. I am a fun-loving and optimistic person and I enjoy biking, skiing, and spending time with my family. I score in the top 90th percentile on the national medical licensing exams and am great at teaching test-taking strategy. I have finished my clinical work from medical school early this quarter and have a lot of free time to tutor before the start of residency. I have five years of experience tutoring over Skype and have had excellent outcomes with this mode of teaching.
