Award-Winning Biochemistry Tutors serving Boulder, CO

...helping someone realize their full learning potential to be an incredibly rewarding experience. I have three science-related degrees: a Bachelor's in Behavioral Biology, a PhD in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology, and an MD. In medical school I received numerous accolades for my scholastic accomplishments, including a Fellowship from the National Cancer Institute, "highest course score" awards, and induction into the honor societies of Alpha Omega Alpha and Phi Kappa Phi. I have an extensive publication track record...

I am currently studying Biology at Saint Louis University, planning to attend medical school. I have experience tutoring college level Biology and Chemistry courses, among other courses as well. Please feel free to contact me regarding any questions!

...I actively implemented this philosophy, finding creative ways to approach complex concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. My approach with these tests emphasizes strategy over content; a particular vocabulary word...

...anatomy. I love to teach using visual aids, quizzes and unique and fun mnemonics/techniques that will make sure you never forget the information you learn. After I receive the class notes and requirements from the student, I prepare an outline and a powerpoint for our session. During our session, I will go through the material and explain, in detail, each and every slide (including mnemonics, tricks, etc.). Every few slides, we will pause for a...

...physician, it was my early connection to teaching that eventually helped me discover my true passion for medicine. This experience from my childhood eventually led me to explore teaching by becoming a tutor in college. I initially struggled to help students who asked me to explain broader topics rather than ask straightforward questions. I quickly realized that the way I learned complex topics would not work for others. I learned the Krebs cycle by memorizing...

...and I help patients and siblings with homework and reading there, as well. I am passionate about the life sciences and the French language, and I love helping others foster a deeper understanding in these two particular subjects! I also genuinely enjoy algebra and statistics and am quite the grammarian. From preschool to college, I actually loved going to school every day and learning, and I hope to bring that love to others, also! I...

...a degree in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Spanish. Although I focus mainly on science, I have a passion for the Spanish language and its history, as I was born in Mexico. I am currently working as a High School College counselor and helping first-generation and minority high school students obtain entrance into higher education. I enjoy learning and teaching a broad range of subjects, but I have the most experience tutoring in Biology,...

...and while I was in college I spent my time volunteering at local hospitals and researching novel neuroscience techniques. I will attend medical school at Geisinger Commonwealth Medical College this fall. Having taken all of the science classes since high school, I know how daunting and hard science material might seem but if taken at a very fundamental level, it is much more logical and simpler than how many high school teachers or college professors...

...background information and explain the lower levels of abstraction that so often make the difference between memorizing *facts* and learning *skills.* This focused approach enabled me to place in the 99th percentile nationwide on the PSAT and SAT, win the title of National Merit Scholar, and earn a full-ride merit scholarship to one of the largest schools in the country, all despite my learning difficulties. There I am currently a senior in the Honors program,...

...range of subjects. I especially enjoy teaching biology, writing, and test preparation. My tutoring philosophy is to blend education with inspiration. I believe a great tutor not only teaches the material, but also helps students to become more effective learners. I often provide real-world examples to help students get excited about concepts. Also, I use practice problems so that my students can see their own improvement and gain confidence. These strategies help students to become...
