Carefully selected, highly-credentialed Biology tutors in Yonkers, NY
"I knew that I wanted to go to medical school and would first need to complete the prerequisites, but in the time between undergrad and postbaccalaureate coursework, I worked as a personal trainer. The experience of tailoring plans for the individual and working one-on-one with a client has proved to be invaluable to me as a tutor. While completing the premedical postbaccalaureate at ASU, I tutored several classmates and lab partners in the natural and physical sciences. They are my favorite and best subjects, and I really enjoyed teaching them, because it both reinforced my understanding of the material and helped a fellow student. I ...

In most cases, I realize that students have difficulties not because they can’t do the work but because they need to approach it differently, from another perspective. I try to integrate concepts that make learning more enjoyable and relatable for each individual student." ...

" Students are often better able to grasp complicated concepts when they're viewed in an interdisciplinary context. As an artist and techie I frequently call on both my creative and analytical sides when teaching and developing curriculum, especially in the areas of science-arts. Some of my fondest moments have been when a student mastered a complicated skill or concept with ease because they were so highly focused on the “fun” project or experiment. I bring this same creativity and passion to all disciplines from literature and history to science and scholarly research.." ...
