Award-Winning Anatomy Tutors serving Richmond, VA

...between my first and second years of dental school at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine and will graduate with my DDS degree in May of 2019. I first started tutoring in my sophomore year of college for the Biology Department at my university. I ran weekly tutorial sessions for students taking Genetics. Then, after my junior year of college, I also began working for the Physics Department as an exam proctor and weekly quiz...

...the IB diploma when I graduated high school. Additionally, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Central Florida and then went on to get a Chancellor's scholarship in medical school. As a result, my rigorous education and overcoming educational obstacles have prepared me well to teach other students; I have successfully passed national board exams including MCAT, SAT, COMLEX Level 1, COMLEX Level 2, USMLE Step 1 and USMLE Step 2; I know...

...and my schedule is very flexible. I am able to offer tutoring in a variety of subjects, especially in the areas of mathematics and science. I have tutored students before for SAT prep and have experience with teaching anatomy. I also taught tennis for five years which is where I gained most of my skills in teaching. I really enjoy teaching and I find it extremely rewarding. I love working with students to help them...

...and have also tutored Regents-level biology and chemistry. Most recently, I tutored for Kaplan, teaching an MCAT preparatory course and working one-on-one with students. When not studying, I like to ride my bike, train Taekwondo, play blues guitar (or bass, or piano, or saxophone, or drums), and read a good book. My tutoring philosophy is one of individualized attention and goal setting, where the tutor and the student work together to set realistic goals, and...

...a doctorate degree in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science from The University of Iowa. At Iowa State University I had the opportunity to tutor college athletes in Anatomy and Physiology, and many other topics. Teaching students and patients has been a rewarding part of my educational and professional career. It is incredibly important that this material be presented in a clear and accessible way. Having a thorough knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology opens the door...

...Later, one of my professors asked me to tutor his friend's college-age grandson in chemistry. We met for several hours a night, two to three nights a week, and although we worked hard, we both had a lot of fun. He improved greatly in the time I worked with him, and it was incredibly rewarding to watch him master concepts that he once found difficult. I hope to be able to help students understand the...

...Anatomy, Physiology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Pharmacology and Microbiology. I believe that rote memorization is ineffective. It is better to seek to truly understand the fundamental principles of a topic and then use that information to reason out the best answer on a standardized test. My goal as a tutor is to give my students that fundamental understanding, and also teach the "test-taking skills" that are an unfortunate requirement for academic success today.... Establish goals and...

...undergraduate years, I was a volunteer tutor for college algebra and physical science, and also ran a math and science tutoring lab for a charter school and did private math tutoring for high school students. In recent years, I have had the opportunity to work as a paraprofessional working one on one with a number of special education students, and tutoring third graders with low literacy scores to improve reading skills. Since November 2011, I...

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

...as dissecting a critical reading passage. I'm equally comfortable teaching the analytical skills for math and science or giving structure in approaching subjects like reading and writing, at many levels and including standardized test prep. In my spare time I enjoy traveling all over America and to a few cities in Europe, reading philosophy and enriching non-fiction, running in half marathons, playing the keyboard, reading computer and tech news, watching movies, or being outdoors hiking...
