I'm Madeline, and I am currently a 3rd year medical student. Before that, I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Biology and a minor in History, and before that, I was inspired to pursue the path I am on by a handful of great teachers who went to great lengths to help their students truly understand core concepts. From a physics professor who spun students around in a chair to demonstrate angular momentum to the chemistry teacher who encouraged us to design our own experiments, they all had one thing in common: if I or my classmates didn't understand what they were teaching, they would find alternative ways to explain it until we did.
I've been tutoring since my junior year in college, so for roughly 4 years now, and I do my best to model my teaching on these instructors. I firmly believe that there is a way to explain almost every concept so that someone can understand it. Some people learn visually, and diagrams are incredibly helpful; for others, flow-charts or step-by-step explanations make the most sense; for others, trial and error is the way to go, and many more. I focus on finding that explanation, and then practicing the concept with my students to make sure that the concept sticks.
Because of my educational background, I specialize in math as well as science disciplines. I am also extremely comfortable helping with anything related to research and writing projects. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a session!
