Award-Winning Biochemistry Tutors serving Overland Park, KS

...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 can feel daunting, but it can...

...until I found the perfect way to work through problems. I am hoping I can help others find that path, and eventually have my students become proficient self learners! I have experience working with students through volunteer work which allowed me to help students learn how to read one-on-one. Additionally, as a student myself, I know the time that a student chooses to get help is sacred time, as everyone lives such busy lives. Because...

...and have my PhD in Molecular Biosciences, but my teaching and tutoring experience ranges from Writing to Chemistry and all sorts of Biology. I love to teach and tutor! My favorite thing is to explain difficult concepts in simple and straight-forward ways. I am a very interactive tutor, and I always encourage questions as they come up. We will have fun and you will gain understanding as we cover key topics related to your immediate...

...my Bachelors of Science in Microbiology, I worked on independent research in a Biochemistry laboratory and presented my findings at the Undergraduate Research Symposium as well as published an honors thesis in the Journal of Undergraduate Research. My honors curricula focused extensively on oral and written communication in addition to community outreach. As an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, I was directly involved in one-on-one learning sessions, lecturing, and classroom management. I taught Principles of Biology Laboratory...

...and use statistical modeling in my research. Additionally, I have taught science majors and non-majors at ASU and MCC as an instructor and as a teaching assistant for four years. When I meet a new tutoring client, I start by asking about their goals, and determining their preferred learning styles in order to help customize their learning experience. I use a variety of established teaching strategies based on how the brain, memory, and human psychology...

...in a bit of an unconventional way. Throughout high school, I was involved in an organization called The Faraday Society (named in honor of scientist Michael Faraday). We performed awesome chemistry demonstrations for a variety of audiences, from elementary school kids to the general public. While we enjoyed using silly skits to engage with the audience, our primary goal was always to foster enthusiasm toward science. This gave me unexpected training in how to tailor...

I have a love of learning and enjoy bringing that to others. It is gratifying to see my students grasp concepts that they were having difficulties with and succeed.

...amount of academic career to supporting and demonstrating what can be accomplished when you are properly addressing how you learn. There are no one-size fits all models for learning and that is certainly the case instructing. I hope you feel comfortable telling me what helps you learn best as well as how I can best facilitate that. I majored in Biochemistry and Spanish at the University of Kansas and am currently working on an MD...

...at the Saint Louis University Center of Outcomes Research, specifically in the area of liver transplantation. I believe I have many qualities and the experience to be a great tutor, especially a great MCAT tutor. As someone who has successfully navigated from an undergraduate program to medical school, I understand and can relate to the struggles of a student that wishes to pursue the medical field. Therefore, my goal is to use my past experiences...

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!

...semester of college, I tutored chemistry online, and I can honestly say it was the most enjoyable job I've ever had. I am a scientist, so I mainly tutor chemistry, but I am also an excellent essay writer, editor, and test taker. As a result I am well equipped to tutor chemistry, physics, biology, math, essay writing, report writing, editing, and ACT Prep. I love seeing students with a genuine interest in chemistry and giving...

...and condensing it into smaller bits. In my years at Westmont College, I have been able to teach and tutor as a teaching assistant for 4 years. I mainly taught General chemistry, Biochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Math, and Biology, as I double majored in Biochemistry and Cellular Molecular Biology. I have quite a bit of experience teaching students about the multifaceted world of chemistry and would love to do so again. I feel I...

...down. I have developed a sure fire way of breaking through that barrier in the classroom and would love to share that in private tutoring sessions! I also have much experience teaching freshman success which entails organization, attitude control, test prep and test taking, note taking etc. Being a college prof really means life long learner. This extends to my personal life as well. I love the out of doors! I live in the country...

...in college, I focused on assisting the professor with teaching biological concepts in a one-on-one and group setting. I would assist by creating workshops that allowed me to assess student's learning and help with understanding specific materials that they struggled with. By also having office hours frequently, I became well-versed in different learning styles of students and answering their questions. Additionally, weekly meetings were held with the professor and other teaching assistants to ensure student...

...a photographer because I enjoy finding the detail even in the subjects that cause us pain and seeing the beauty in the frustration that leads to success. I am a world traveler that enjoys learning about different cultures and seeing how different people think and enjoy life. I work in cancer clinical research, growing up with a medical condition, I desire to make sure others don't have too. I tutor because I want to help...

...Education. I have been a teacher for 3 years since then, where I teach Honors Biology and IB Biology HL. I have a true passion for biology overall, and I want to show others how great it can be! While I think the subject is already filled with fun and interesting content, I still try to make it relevant to the student so they have some context to help connect their learning.

...to relate to students, as I was a student myself. Education is a key element for success later in life and if we do not provide a strong backbone for our kids, they will not be able to achieve the goals or hopes they have. A classroom setting might not be enough for a child and with the extra tutoring they are able to get the confidence they need to excel on tests and in...

...got minors in Psychology and Anthropology. I tutor any subject area in elementary, middle school, or high school science, as well as select areas of college science (see my subject list). My strong points are biology and chemistry, and I am Praxis and MEGA certified to teach both in the state of Missouri. I also have a strong background in Math, and can tutor these subjects at a elementary, middle, or high school level. Feel...

...Schools are teaching hard facts and not showing students how subjects can be applied to real life. Students miss out on many wonderful realizations in their daily lives because they don't understand how chemistry helped create computers, or the historical context that has created the current political climate. Tutoring sessions with me are structured much differently than a traditional class. I don't lecture; Learning with me is a conversation in which we will talk through...

...them part of whatever subject you are teaching makes it much easier for them to learn. I got my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from Nigeria. Master's degree was in biomedical science from Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, and like I said previously I am currently doing my Ph.D. at UMKC. I have experience teaching high school biology and chemistry spanning several years. I have also taught at the undergraduate level and currently teach...
