Award-Winning Anatomy Tutors serving Washington DC

...my tutoring to fit the learning style of the student. 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....

...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 love trying new food,...

...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 further enhance my strategies and skills...

...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, willing to explain the same idea many times and respectful of everyone's individual learning styles and current ability. Finally, if I have not excited my student by the material they are learning, In my eyes, I...

...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 to easily establish rapport with my...

...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 and frustrating. However, if I can help inspire enthusiasm in the topic, then together, we can work through, understand, and solidify concepts. In order to accomplish this, I believe in exercising creativity to attack a concept...

...the utmost importance. My tutoring style consists of creating objectives 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...

...well in the lab class. I then taught lab techniques 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...

...to encourage and motivate my students to be as excited about anatomy and physiology as I am. Learning is an active and engaging process that requires equal participation from both the professor and the student. If one side is lacking in their responsibilities then the other side won't be able to succeed in knowing the information. Testing and course surveys are an excellent way to measure how each side is doing with learning and teaching...

...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 orthopaedic surgery. In my free time...

...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 it easier to learn rather than...

...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. I have a wealth of knowledge that I would love to share with my students, especially about the sciences. But, at the end of the day, I want to see my students succeed and be self-sufficient so...

...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 have more than a few book...

...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 New Jersey. I tutor in multiple areas of science including biology and environmental science. I love biology and the sciences, and I hope that can help my students succeed in their science goals and aspirations. When...

...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 enjoyable to you. I believe tutoring...

...lab, which specializes in research for malaria vaccine development. After my 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...

...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 education, believing it to be absolutely...

...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 test scores needed to be accepted into dental school. My goal is to get every student I tutor as far as I possibly can through tutoring, guidance, and/or mentoring in whatever goals, dreams, or aspirations they...

...II, SAT subject test prep (Biology E/M, Chemistry & Physics), MCAT test prep (Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences and Verbal Reasoning), Spanish and computer science (python programming in particular). Amongst these, I am particularly fond of teaching physics and of helping students prepare for and feel confident about taking the MCAT. In my spare time, I enjoy practicing yoga and meditation, biking, baking vegan desserts, playing my electric guitar, reading fantasy/sci-fi novels and watching a great...

...of the rigor of AP courses, and I understand the 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...
