How have you represented PTP? I have always encouraged both my friends and other students to take advantage of PTP and all it has to offer. I have utilized it many times myself as a student and have seen how it can help amount to success and growth as a learner. As a tutor I was always prepared with the information needed, and this is turn helped me to refresh and keep material in mind as well. I was able to demonstrate my knowledge and what I learned throughout the course of college in many subjects that I found both difficult and challenging but was able to learn from my experiences and help advise students in their studying.
How has PTP impacted you? PTP has not only made me more confident in myself academically, but also socially. Learning to meet new students, adapt to their needs, and discover their ways of learning to best help them, has lent itself to improving my critical thinking skills. It has also been one of the experiences that has most convinced me that I want to work as a physician at an academic center so that I can continue helping others learn information and teach others in the same ways I learned how to do through PTP.
