Award-Winning Biochemistry Tutors serving Catalina Foothills, AZ

...I recently completed three years of my MD curriculum and am now returning to tutoring during my MBA studies. I struggled throughout high school until finally preparing for the SAT and ACT, so I'm adept with picking up just what you're struggling with - I was there once, too. Now having performed in the upper 10% of all standardized exams I have taken and graduated with high honors with all my degrees, I'm glad to...

I love science and have a passion for conveying science to other people. Whether that be discussing science topics among my peers, friends, family, or the general public or tutoring people, I want others to have a deeper understanding of science and potentially come to enjoy it as much as I do!

I studied biology and biochemistry at the University of Arizona. Here I studied bugs, fungi, plants, and animals from population level down to the biochemical level. This includes a wide range of subjects like genetics, plant biochemistry, cancer biology, metabolic engineering, medical entomology, and behavioral ecology. I also worked in an aquatic entomology lab researching local populations. I plan on pursuing an M.Sc. in Biology in the future.

...for connecting abstract theory to the history and modern practice of the sciences. I got my degree in biochemistry from the University of Arizona, where I taught general chemistry labs and TA'd for many semesters of biology. I focused much of my attention on organic chemistry, taking both the majors courses, as well as the 450, 538, and 640 synthetic design and mechanisms courses as electives. Since graduation I have kept myself busy doing freelance...

...with fun activities. I enjoy reading such as the Harry Potter, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, 1984, The Martian and Animal Farm. I love movies like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I love to work out, going from running, to yoga, basketball, weight lifting and have been practicing meditation for over a year. I would love to work with you and help you along your path.... I like...

...aligned with current academic standards but are also tailored to each student's learning style and aspirations. I am dedicated to continuous improvement, both for my students and for myself as an educator. By staying updated with the latest trends in education, technology, and career development, I am able to offer materials and guidance that are relevant, innovative, and impactful. I take pride in my ability to connect with students, build trust, and foster an environment...

...Arizona with bachelor's degrees in molecular and cellular biology and music. I love to learn and enjoy applying the knowledge I've gained to helping others succeed through tutoring. I have two years of experience tutoring biology, ecology, cell biology, genetics, writing, reading, and chemistry at the undergraduate level and some experience tutoring chemistry and biology at the high school level. I look forward to meeting and working with students through this platform!

...and instructional effectiveness in order to make education more accessible to the nation's students. I have both the education and the experience to be of great use as a tutor. With the upcoming implementation of Common Core Standards for Science content areas, I am equipped with the tools and experience in areas both technical and practical to help students adapt to scientific (as well as math and language arts) learning objectives. I am a published...

I have been teaching the General Education Courses at Pima Medical Institute for the past 13 years. This includes teaching Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Body. I am a retired Family Practice physician as well with a wealth of clinical scenarios that I use to add breadth to the teaching of the organ systems.

...obtained my master's degree in physiology and biophysics from Georgetown University. I am a firm believer that finding a study technique that works for you is essential to academic success. As a tutor, my goal is to discover the strengths of a student and use those strengths to develop a learning strategy that will allow them to succeed. I look forward to working with you and helping answer any questions you might have.

...the different concepts to make sure that the basics are fully understood. For Biology, I use a similar style, but with more emphasis on making sure the concepts are as easily understood as possible to facilitate easier learning and memorization. Finally, on a personal level, I enjoy doing just about everything. I played water polo in high school, swam throughout high school and into my first two years of college, and played ultimate frisbee for...

Each person accumulates a different set of skills and specialities during their life. Rather than being afraid to look stupid, it is important to be eager to learn from others. I love spreading my knowledge in a casual environment, and using that to help others achieve their fullest potential!

...high school and learned more in that short time than I did from the three years of formal classes! That was truly an unforgettable and life-changing journey! Nonetheless, my favorite subject to tutor is chemistry (primarily general or organic). I have been "in love" with chemistry ever since my high school chemistry teacher inspired me. As I mentioned above, I took that passion to the next level with some "real world" chemistry experience in the...

...of learning and teaching the materials. Teaching styles vary when going over algebra and basic calculus to organic chemistry to human anatomy, but my tutoring style begins by talking to the student to understand the personality of the student. By talking, this helps both myself and the student see how they will learn the material. In my spare time, I enjoy reading to gain a better scope of life and information, strength training, home automation,...

...Through my educational experiences in the scientific field, I have come to appreciate that learning is lifelong endeavor. My prior teaching experience includes tutoring math, english, reading, and science to elementary and middle school students during my undergraduate career at the University of Texas at Austin, as well as being a Teaching Assistant for a graduate-level science course at the University of Arizona. I look forward to the potential opportunity of bringing my enthusiasm for...

...biology and biochemistry, and I can also tutor chemistry as well. I have one year of chemistry tutoring experience at the University of Arizona. I have worked with instructors, graded exams, assignments, and lab reports. I bring an understanding of what professors want to emphasize and test, and what exam graders look for. I have been a teaching assistant at the University of Arizona for 5 years. The courses I taught include Introductory Biology (Bio...

I'm almost a doctor! Ask me anything! I studied Human Physiology in college in addition to all the pre-requisites for medical school. I'm a 4th year med student now and can answer any questions related to that as well :)

...success. The success of a student isn't measured by knowledge of facts, but should instead be demonstrated by the understanding of content, to a level which is beyond rote memorization, and instead focuses on adequate application of the student's knowledge. It is the teacher's role to not create a dictionary or list of facts to be pulled from, but to encourage critical thinking, and application for any problem headed towards the student, be it an...

...and Evolutionary Biology, and as such my favorite subjects to tutor are science related. I feel that success in a subject is directly related to an individuals interest in that subject, so my first goal is to always help a student discover what they think is interesting about the subject. Once an interest is formed, appreciation and understanding easily develop. My approach to tutoring subjects that center around problem solving, such as Chemistry and Physics,...

...on tests and lose confidence. In my own experience though, even students who perform well on the final test struggle during the process. I want to empower more students so that they realize they are not alone in the struggle to improve. I want to show students that consistent effort pays off after several weeks or months. My approach to tutoring centers around practice problems and working through problems. I also love pointing out resources...
