Award-Winning Anatomy Tutors serving Washington DC

...I think that is really important because it is very hard for a visual learner to learn from just listening. I also engage the student in learning. For example, having them label a diagram that I have just talked about. Most important -I encourage my students to ask questions, make comments, even disagree with me. I like making math and science come alive for students. I have successfully worked with elementary, middle school, and high...

...I have two years of experience tutoring undergraduate students in Science, mostly Biology and Chemistry. I love bringing a student out of their shell and having a conversation about the material. I think the best way for anyone to learn is to explain the new information in different ways that relate back to their own life and having a conversation about the material is the easiest way to do that. In my spare time, I...

...on plants and insects for many youth groups. I am a firm believer that communication is the key to learning. The way that I understand material may not be the way that makes the most sense to others, so I strive to work with students to connect the concepts and facts in a way that they can master them. I took a graduate course on Science Instruction that was not required for my degree to...

...am currently working as a research specialist at the University of Pennsylvania. Our laboratory focuses on cancer biology, so I am well versed in Biology and Chemistry. I have experience as a teaching assistant from my alma mater, the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, where I helped teach courses in the Chemistry and Biochemistry departments. These experiences have taught me how to explain complex ideas in simple, easy-to-grasp concepts. I am also extremely patient,...

...students. I not only helped them learn but I made them feel excited about medicine. I am very knowledgeable in subjects oriented around the medical field namely anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, endocrinology among others. Teaching is a skill that must be adapted to the individual student. I also believe syllabus oriented teaching is key to covering adequate material to allow a student to test well. I have solid communication and people skills that will allow me...

...academic journey has taken me far and wide because I believe in allowing my passions to guide me. My dynamic background has given me myriad opportunities to work with students at all levels. I have taught voice and violin lessons to students 5 years of age to adult, as well as tutored biology and chemistry at an undergraduate and high school level. I know that the path to truly understanding a subject can be bumpy...

...for each lesson, providing check points along the lesson to ensure understanding, and explaining a subject in more than one way. I also summarize the lesson at the end and provide learning pearls as well as mnemonics to make it easier for my students to grasp the concepts. I also like to see how a student approaches a given problem before I can guide them into the right direction. My hobbies include sports and fitness,...

...while doing fellowship at the NIH to summer students and thoroughly enjoyed it. My students loved the way I explained things to them in detail and also the fact that I pushed them to being independent but being there for them when needed. I obviously do not have a strong tutoring experience, but I know I have a penchant for the biological sciences and skills in reading and writing, which would allow me to impart...

...of anatomy and physiology, I want the students to not just know or memorize the material; I want them to understand it. It is easy to memorize material for a test, "spew" it out on paper, and forget it after that. Students are in this class because they, usually, want to go into a field that requires the knowledge of anatomy and physiology. It is my job to inspire and incite students to what to...

...be and they certainly did not come to me naturally. I had to work extremely hard to grasp many of the concepts but I eventually came up with strategies to tackle the material. Having struggled myself, I honestly feel I can relate better to other students in a similar predicament and therefore can better tutor them. As I mentioned before, I just finished medical school and I'm awaiting my residency match. I'm planning on pursuing...

...away. I believe I make a great tutor not only because I have almost a decade of experience, but especially because I am always equipped with encouragement and patience. Aside from teaching I also enjoy playing sports, instruments, and having a good time with friends. I think these hobbies help make me relate to students which is important because they are able to see me as an equal in a similar stage of life, making...

...hard work and dedication, but that does not mean it has to be a boring and tedious task. We tend to retain fun, useless information that interests us the most, but most fail to realize how much power those known memories have on our potential to make new ones. One of the techniques that I teach my students is how to use that everyday “useless" trivia, and apply it to what they NEED to remember....

...learn and some of the common roadblocks faced when confronting challenging topics. One of my favored methods in how to get past those barriers is to unpack an abstract concept (such as mRNA translation, for example) into both cartoon and word pictures so that we all "see" the big picture, then add the vocabulary to the concept once all are ready to move on. Not surprisingly, I am a bit of a story teller and...

...received my bachelors degree in Biology from Rider University (Lawrencville, NJ) in 2010 and my masters degree in Teaching from Towson University (Towson, MD) in 2014. I worked for two years as a high school biology, anatomy & physiology, and AP environmental science teacher in Baltimore County public schools in Baltimore Maryland. Prior to teaching, I worked in and trained others in the fields of massage therapy and emergency medical services in both Maryland and...

...them head on is a sure fire way to grow intellectually. Being an effective questioner and an astute observer of the unknown is a life-long task, and through hard work and focus, I believe anyone can grow into a stronger thinker and a more effective student. I also think science is very fun, and the best way to improve in a subject that may be difficult is to find the parts of it which are...

...research internship ended, I began attending the University of Maryland, College Park as a post-baccalaureate student seeking a second degree in General Biology (B.S.), which I obtained in August 2016. My extensive educational background and previous research experiences at WRAIR and Johns Hopkins gave me the opportunity to learn how to communicate complex scientific ideas through discussions, presentations, and writing. I would like to apply the knowledge I have obtained about the molecular, biomolecular, and...

...with reading disabilities. My past several years have been spent focusing on Special Needs Students. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about all areas of Biology and Reading. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) working on ways to remember the vast number of terms that have to be memorized. I am a firm proponent of...

...am a highly motivated recent graduate of Old Dominion University with plans to attend the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in the fall. I was once a student who needed a lot of help and consistently relied on a tutor for extra guidance, and can therefore relate to my students in many ways. Having a good tutor support system helped get me not only a D1 Football scholarship and but also the grades and...

...a mathematics tutor for middle school students of public schools located in underserved communities of Durham and as a teaching assistant for calculus-based undergraduate physics courses at Duke University. Additionally, during my time as a medical student in Brazil, I worked as teaching assistant for the cardiac physiology graduate course of University of Brasilia's School of Medicine. These experiences allowed me to work with students of multiple ages, educational levels, socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds and...

...stress that accompanies the PSAT and SAT exams. I am dedicated and hardworking, and I had academically successful high school and college careers. At Wake Forest University, I majored in anthropology. This background gives me an advantage as a tutor as it has helped me gain a perspective on the world that has given me the ability to perceive and and approach different places and peoples with a culturally relativistic and ethical stance. I understand...
