PRO TIP:

When evaluating whether a mentor would be a good match for your student keep in mind that the greatest leading indicator of success is how well a mentor and their mentee get along.

Questions to ask yourself:

Would the student find this person inspiring?
Do they share any interests, hobbies, or lived experiences?

Brian T. (IN A NUTSHELL)

Hi there! My name Brian and hope to help you achieve your personal goals. I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Neuroscience from the University of the Sciences, where I co-founded the university’s first neuroscience club. I also earned my master’s degree in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania. Currently, I manage a neuroimmunology lab, focusing on translational research related to microglial function and dysfunction in pediatric neurological diseases. With over 5 years of experience mentoring and tutoring students from diverse backgrounds, I provide support in STEM subjects, college preparation, and resume/CV building.

Watch Brian T. break down a subject they’re passionate about.

WHY THIS MATTERS:

Our mentorship sessions happen virtually over Zoom. It’s important to get a sense of how someone’s personality can come through on a video call. The best way to ensure your student is excited about learning is to have someone on the other side that they look forward to talking to.
