Martin Tutoring
About
Hello everyone,
I am a university student studying Neuroscience with Medical school aspirations. I have been tutoring fellow classmates and students since high-school and tend to help my tutees understand harder concepts with everyday examples. Try teaching a 7-year-old how to play chess by using Pokemon characters! I enjoy teaching others because it not only helps my fellow tutee but also teaching a subject to others also helps to keep me sharp in harder subject areas. Hopefully, I will make you a self-dependent studier that will no longer require my assistance, this is my goal.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I first ask a new student for their course syllabus, then the teacher's name for a swift "RateMyProfessor" search. Soon after, I would catalogue their course information by notifying the student when important test dates are. Next, I work on helping the student develop a schedule to reduce burnout so that the student enjoys studying with a bunch of breaks. Then I begin working with the student to break down concepts in a way that helps them to remember them long after a study session.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I tutor fellow students in my university for General Biology, General Chemistry, and sometimes Calculus.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I normally charge $25 an hour
How did you get started teaching?
I am the oldest of 9 siblings. I like to think that these little guys were the reason I started teaching.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with university students, high-school students, middle-school students, and elementary school students.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
A recent tutee of mine learned Chemistry atomic orbitals and was able to navigate his way excellently through his exam.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If you have doubts about your tutor, do not feel ashamed to find another one. You pay someone to help you understand, not to remain in the same confused state.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Do I have my syllabus? Where can I find it if I do not have it? Do I have my own schedule that I am dedicated to? Do I get enough sleep so that I can remember what I learned in that session? How can I get enough sleep?
