Award-Winning Biochemistry Tutors serving Essex County, NJ

...thing I'm sure of, it's that I genuinely enjoy tutoring. I'm also a "professional" student. I say this because absorbing, analyzing, and integrating knowledge from my medical courses are necessary skills for my own academic success. And so, I am more than happy to share my study strategies, techniques, and tips with students. My strengths lie within the sciences (e.g. AP Biology, Biochemistry, AP Chemistry), followed by mathematics. I also enjoy teaching and tutoring Latin....

I was a chemistry and philosophy double major in college and my approach to teaching has always been creative, patient and interdisciplinary. I am an expert science and math...

...passion of performing on stage. However, due to my background in academia and teaching, I desired to maintain plugged into that world in whatever way I could. That is how I discovered VarsityTutors. Tutoring allows me to use my experience and skills to help other students grow and learn in subjects they like and in subjects they dislike. What is most important to me is whether or not the student truly understands the material they...

...work to study any course material. The first thing I do is highlight the central theme of each chapter, then work on central idea of each paragraph and tie it together to some unique concept. This tool has helped me through regular and honors courses. It is essential to be patient in note-taking. Every idea must be cross-checked and validated. There are several references available that students can utilize. I always use outside books and...

...Cell Biology and Neuroscience as well as in Economics. Though I have tutored in numerous subjects, I enjoy teaching Math and Science the most as I am passionate about these subjects. I have also had a great deal of experience in taking and preparing for AP subjects. I strongly believe in giving my students the tools to tackle problems, which allows them to be able to figure out future issues on their own.

...to take a student’s measure. I believe in going beyond the test and teaching the subjects. With an infectious enthusiasm for science, I help students synthesize topics across different disciplines until it all makes sense. Building from a strong foundation, each of my students can then develop effective academic strategies and succeed. I am a recent Bachelor of Science from Cornell University, where my studies revolved around applying life science research to health and social...

I was staff at weekly tutoring centers for both calculus and and organic chemistry, where I helped students with issues that came up on weekly problem sets or during...

...at Barnard College studying Biochemistry with a minor in Dance. I have previous tutoring experience in AP Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, for both high school and college age students. My personal teaching philosophy is to lead my sessions with a student-based approach. As a current student myself, I understand the frustrations that we can encounter when working to learn a new subject, and I am committed to working with students to help them learn in...

...can apply to so many situations, including things we experience every day. My preferred teaching style involves a little bit of give and take. I think I excel at giving students new ways to think about certain problems which may give them a better understanding of the material. I don't feel like it has been a productive session unless I come away having learned something as well. In my spare time, I am an avid...

...that the tutee understands the material. I am patient when it comes to teaching, as every student has their own pace of study, and will alter my methods in order to meet their pace. I would then create problems that would test their knowledge on the subject before moving onto the next. The success of my student is very important to me, and I will do my best to help them achieve their best.

...working on my Doctorate in Pharmacy. I specialize in test prep such as SAT, ACT, SHSAT, etc. but am more than capable of teaching a variety of subjects.

I also learned many recurring misconceptions and common mistakes that students make. The most important thing I got from tutoring at Pacific was the enjoyment I got when I saw the light bulb go on...

...teaching style involves Socratic Questioning and is highly interdisciplinary. It is never a one-way stream of information. I will be asking you a lot of questions along the way. The two most lessons that I teach to my students: 1. tolerance of uncertainty; and 2. confidence in your own self-efficacy. Everyone can attain mastery. I never doubt. Anything can be learned, if you breathe, accept that you are a beginner, and give into the process....
