My name is Brandon! I received a Presidential Merit-Based Scholarship and graduated magna cum laude as a Human Biology Major at USC. I am currently a student at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai! I have always loved teaching. With three younger siblings of different age groups, I have grown up helping them with a wide range of topics. My passion for teaching translated into my experience at USC. I learned about many of the varying learning styles and communication strategies that students of different ages may prefer. After taking a large number of courses pertaining to many realms of science, I decided to devote my time to giving back to the community. This led me to tutor in local middle schools and high schools in topics of Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Nutrition, Endocrinology, Psychology, and Algebra. I continue to provide assistance in these topics. I try to make learning as enjoyable as possible. I do my best to integrate the information in an appealing and relatable way.
I have also tutored peers in college on major exams including the MCAT. I believe I have a very good foundation with the MCAT exam. If you are looking to take this exam, I have a lot of advice, input, mistakes that I've made, and guidance that I want future physicians to have when moving forward with studying. These skills will help you not only with this exam, but are also aspects you can implement into your daily routine to help with cognitive honing and test-taking!
My overall approach to tutoring is very multifaceted. I believe strongly in understanding the best way to convey the information based on the student’s preferred style of teaching. I also believe in making the student feel confident about the material so that there will be no doubts about the relevant information. Learning is as much physical as it is mental. Believing that you can understand the information and accepting that the material may seem foreign at first glance is the first step to accepting to conquer the battle.
