Award-Winning Anatomy Tutors in Tacoma, WA

...Ecology and Organismal Biology. I believe that hard work, curiosity and an open mind are the keys to lifelong learning. Often the journey to academic success is not a solo one, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share what I know in a way that inspires and educates students. My passion for education stems from a desire to become more aware of the world around me and to help others do the same,...

...from teaching young students. Most of my students struggled and were often afraid to say what they thought because of the fear of being wrong. As a tutor and mentor, my role is to create a comfortable learning environment where students focus on how wrong answers help them to arrive at the right answer. I always told my students that I am open to all answers and that no one is ever truly wrong. No...

...Health and Chemistry on the pre-medical track. I am particularly interested in High School and College science and math courses. At UW, I have taken the General Chemistry series, the General Biology series, Honors Organic Chemistry, Calculus I & II, and various Public and Environmental Health courses. In addition to these courses, I am also trained as an EMT-B and volunteer at Roots homeless shelter. I have experience as a Boys and Girls Club tutor...

...and I plan to use this experience to pursue a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience (the study of how we form and access memories). My interest in neuroscience fuels my philosophy of education. I think all students have a profound capacity to learn and my role as an educator is to help the student unlock their potential. In my time as a teacher and even during my own education, I had the opportunity to work with...

...I was a tutor in several capacities throughout my years at school, and have continued to tutor and teach since then. I really enjoy helping students grow their own sense of self-confidence and watching them grasp the material. Sometimes all it takes is a little extra explanation that is hard to get in the classroom when the teacher is focusing on so many students at once. My style is pretty laid-back. I'm friendly and patient,...

...interject humor. The rectal valve, for example, is important structure for everyone. It prevents that “you hope no one noticed” fart from being loaded. As you can imagine, it gets giggles but it captures attention, induces laughing and endorphin release. Happy brains want to learn. What also facilitates this “want to learn” is that I quickly establish an open dialogue with students. Involving the student in their own learning also lies at the root of...

...joy when I had the chance to walk her through concepts that was difficult for both her and me to understand. At that time, I didn't have that much of a biology background myself. I was still taking AP biology class while she was taking the general biology. I wasn't even the best student in that AP class, but my AP biology teacher approached me and asked me to sit down with that friend after...

...biggest names in our city such as Rachael Lincoln, Mark Haim, Wade Madsen, and many others. Today I work as a software engineer in Seattle, WA and moonlight as a dance performer and creator. I have many years of experience tutoring students in computer science, high school mathematics, and dance. In college I TAed a digital signal processing class, where I was ranked one of the best teachers in the College of Engineering. I successfully...

...several interesting biological research projects, and plan on a master's degree in the future. My favorite academic subjects to tutor are biology and writing. I have also worked as a professional high school essay scorer, so am uniquely suited to assist students in improved performance on standardized essays. I love to distill central ideas and then be able to explain, "It's simple, really!" My tutoring philosophy is straightforward: when the subject is interesting, the work...

...Math, History, and Writing. I would be delighted to tutor students in any subject, and I am happy to help with standardized test prep, study habits and time management, college applications, and much more. Science may not come naturally to some students, but I believe that enthusiasm and persistence are more important than natural ability. I hope to share my passion for science with younger learners. I recently started a part-time job at the Seattle...

I truly enjoy working with students of different ages and learning needs. I have experience with K-12 to adult learners who are professionals and have very specific needs. I hope we can work together to increase knowledge on different topics and abilities.

...a prospective medical student, I know what it is like to sometimes not fully understand a concept or subject. As a student who at first struggled to learn some of the toughest material, I learned from mistakes and shortcomings how to effectively learn and understand any concept. I love to teach people how to tackle a problem, how to truly grasp an idea for a strong foundation, and how to apply these nuanced methods for...

...help. I peer tutored throughout high school and college. I taught a Biology lab at the undergraduate level, and as a graduate student, I mentored many other students in science. I can make even the most difficult concepts easy to understand. I am extremely patient with students, and I know working with me will lead to higher grades. I am happy to help with any Biology or Chemistry courses. In addition, I can help with...

...graduating in the Spring of 2015 with a B.S. in Bioengineering. I have experience working with students as young as kindergarten to as experienced as undergraduates in college. I tutor reading, writing, science (physics, chemistry, biology), mathematics (all levels up to calculus), and MCAT preparation. My teaching style revolves around discussion of the material and doing practice problems to test understanding. I am very patient and don't get frustrated easily. Outside of academia, my favorite...

I studied finance and accounting at the undergraduate level before completing a master's degree in financial analysis. After working for accounting and investment firms, I started my own business focused on consulting, tax preparation, and research projects. In terms of languages, I had the opportunity to study for one year in both France and Germany, and I obtained college minors in both languages.

...highly capable test prep after school. I am currently pursuing a masters degree in occupational therapy at the University of Washington's school of medicine. It was not too long ago that I was studying for my GRE and writing admissions essays. I look forward to helping students accomplish their educational goals, whether those include test prep, college admissions essays, or grade level reading and math. I enjoy being a student as much as I enjoy...

...Seattle for my husband's job in 2008. In addition to my teaching experience, I have tutored a number of students in the UK, adapting my tutoring to work well with a student's individual learning style. Since residing in Seattle, I have volunteered at the library and zoo, and I have helped at a homework club at the local YMCA dealing with a range of age groups and subjects, encouraging students to achieve their full potential...

I have tutored elementary instrumental music, taught environmental science lessons, and mentored undergraduate research assistants.

I also had the great opportunity to play basketball for my college and learned many effective study skills while juggling school, basketball, and a part-time job. I am very passionate about Biology and any sub-category of Biology, but I also have a strong background in Chemistry and Statistics. Last year I was a mentor for at-risk teens at our local middle school. I really enjoyed the experience....

...subjects. Although I majored in the hard sciences, my favorite subjects to tutor in are English and writing. I enjoy reading student's original thoughts and helping them to cultivate their unique writing style. As a tutor that at times struggled in certain classes, I understand the frustration that can come with grades that do not reflect your effort. Therefore, I am very empathetic, patient, and understanding. My tutoring style requires that students aren't simply looking...
