Award-Winning Biochemistry Tutors serving Lenexa, KS

...lab and completed worksheets during my office hours. As a tutor, I prefer to emphasize general principles over memorizing lots of details; I believe that students gain deeper understanding of the material when they are the ones to draw connections and solve problems. Different explanations make sense to different people, so I am happy to use literal and technical language, analogies, or a combination thereof to explain scientific concepts. I know firsthand that studying science...

...my excitement to students. I also enjoy preparing students for test prep (ACT) and elementary and middle school-age students. My approach to teaching is to understand the student as an individual. I like to understand the student's strengths and weaknesses and work from there to expand their knowledge in a given subject. My goal is to push each of my students to venture beyond their limits and understand each concept, rather than learning the steps...

When working with a student, I have found that showing the student that you are excited and interested in the subject, as well as connecting it to a real world situation or profession makes the atmosphere fun and...

...Chemistry and Biochemistry. I could be that nerd that they base TV characters on, though I have excellent communication skills. Teaching has always come easily to me, and my students claim to learn well from my flexible teaching styles. I can effectively relate the material to students' lives so they can understand it in their own terms. If the student doesn't reach the answer on his own, then it won't be meaningful or committed to...

...involved in one-on-one learning sessions, lecturing, and classroom management. I taught Principles of Biology Laboratory independently for classrooms of 12 students. In order to engage more with non-biology majors, I reiterated complex concepts by illustrating hand-drawn diagrams as well as verbal explanations. I took a very similar approach to teaching students that were more well-versed in biology when I taught Fundamentals of Microbiology Laboratory, where I focused on providing not only hand-written notes but also...

...always to foster enthusiasm toward science. This gave me unexpected training in how to tailor an explanation to the audience receiving the information, while also keeping their attention and helping them have fun (okay, okay... the fiery explosions might've helped a bit). During my undergraduate studies, I worked as an undergraduate teaching assistant (UTA) for the Undergraduate Biology Lab Department, teaching introductory biology labs as well as biology labs for non-biology majors. From the perspective...

I am a second year medical student at the University of Kansas School of Medicine with an interest in surgery. I hope to make a difference in the world, be it large or small and through teaching I can accomplish that!

...don't lecture; Learning with me is a conversation in which we will talk through a concept together, and then the student proves their understanding by teaching it back. I try to break sessions up with timed quizzes, real world applications, and scenario problems whenever possible to keep the student engaged and energized. I understand most student's goals are to perform better in the classroom, and that is what we will work towards, but i also...

...I hold dearest. Rather than tutor for the sake of hours, I hope to spend my time and the time of my clients effectively.
