Award-Winning Anatomy Tutors in Trenton, NJ

...Chemistry. I love helping students in math and science and it gives me a sense of satisfaction to see other people succeed. As the eldest of three I've helped my younger siblings in their studies and primarily use examples and analogies that they can understand and relate to in order to help them. Besides math and science, a few other things I love are research in my lab, football, basketball, comic books (especially Spider-Man and...

My name is Michael and I am 23 years old. I currently live in Philadelphia where I work part time at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania as a Research Assistant. I was previously a teaching assistant for General Chemistry during my undergraduate education. I graduated from Villanova University and subsequently did a post-bachelor's program at UPenn. I plan to start medical school in the near future.

During this time, I have held numerous study sessions and office hours to help students in a small group or an individual basis. My favorite subjects to teach are general biology, anatomy/physiology, microbiology and test prep courses (particularly the math section). As far as interests outside of academia, I am an avid sports fan, and...

...research in the fields of behavioral neuroscience and infectious disease. I successfully completed all required courses for admission into medical school during the course of my undergraduate education, and I have extensive Math, Science, and Verbal Reasoning tutoring experience working with high school students in the New Haven Public School system. While working in local public high schools, I have successfully tutored students both for their own personal gain and for increased performance on college...

...education will play a major role in my career whether it's educating patients, medical students, or residents Having gone through the rigors of the college and medical school application process (including taking the required standardized tests), I'm very familiar with both the content and the test taking process. For the last two years I've served as a teaching assistant to the first year medical students in the Gross Anatomy course. During my time at Bryn...

...a PhD student in evolutionary biology. There I quickly found out that I was more keen on teaching than I was on doing research and have since transferred to obtain my teaching certificate in high school biology. Despite my many years in biology, I never found it to be easy. Science is hard. There's a great deal of memorization associated with the subject, as well as difficult concepts and esoteric terminology. Let me help you...

...passion for science education led me to volunteer with Roots and Shoots, an environmental education organization, to teach hands-on workshops for young children at the local science center about topics such as flower anatomy, animal tracks, and the popular 'egg drop'. I was also a peer counselor and trained incoming counselors, which involved teaching in front of large groups and leading small-group exercises. For my Master's thesis research, I became a research assistant at the...

...that not everyone learns that way, so I accommodate to each student's needs. My first student with ADD showed me the range of needs each student can have. Other students have different needs, and I like to push my students to their full potential. Communication is key to success in the tutor-student relationship, and I work hard to make sure that we both understand the commitment and the goals that we are working towards. Each...

My name is Jamal Alafifi. I graduated from the University of Arizona in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology and I hold a Master of Science from SUNY-Upstate Medical University. In my spare time I like to work out, go hiking, and play golf.... My teaching philosophy is to allow the student to figure out as much as they can on their own rather than telling them what the answers are, and then from there I can guide them to the solution.

...helps them learn more quickly, retain new skills better, and enjoy the tutoring sessions more. I particularly enjoy teaching science, writing, and test prep. With test prep I've found that supplemental work on fundamental skills helps students improve their scores much more than working through a test prep book alone. Watching students develop confidence in their abilities and improve their performance makes my tutoring sessions some of the best hours of my week!
