Award-Winning Biochemistry Tutors in Portland, OR

...biology, and in my senior year I became a teachers assistant for biochemistry while still being a teachers assistant for general biology and anatomy and physiology. In these classes my basic duties included supervising, mentoring and assisting students during a laboratory session, answering any questions and providing guidance both in and out of the lab in order to fully grasp the material. While as an undergraduate I was given the privilege of being recommended by...

Graduate (3.9 GPA) from the University of Connecticut in chemical engineering. Four years of tutoring experience. Seeking to help students, much like the tutors who helped me become accepted to an MD program at my top medical school choice.

...I have worked to develop vaccines, gene therapies, and needed research reagents and tools. I bring to tutoring the experience and interactions I’ve had from being mentored and trained myself to the mentoring I’ve done to those I’ve supervised in their career development, including acting as an advisor to graduate students. I am passionate about science and enjoy tutoring all aspects of Biology along with Chemistry. I know the value of critical thinking, writing, and...

...love for the sciences and enjoy teaching these subjects as well. While I was at Sacred Heart University I was able to tutor in Pre-Calculus and also Physics I and II. Students would come to me with any questions they had on concepts or specific homework problems they were struggling with. I have also been hired at Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences to tutor in 3 courses that I have completed during this...

...associate at Yale University conducing research in genetics/neuroscience. Throughout the years I have had many opportunities to interact with and train students. Specifically, as a graduate student I have had experience as a teaching assistant for general biology and advanced genetics lab courses, and have also tutored high school students in AP chemistry. Hopefully as a tutor for VT I can make STEM courses more approachable and rewarding for high school and undergraduate students.

...to utilize this approach with all future tutoring. During undergrad I earned by CRLA tutoring certification and tutored in many subjects including neuroscience, biology, scientific writing, essay writing. I also tutored foreign students in English, and lead clinics where I taught fencing to middle and high school students. I am passionate about teaching and helping everyone get an excellent education. In my spare time, I enjoy running, reading, fencing, and spending time with family and...

...first degree was in biology and my second was in medical technology. I worked as a medical technologist at Stamford Hospital for three years but then I wanted to do biomedical research. I soon began at Yale University and worked side by side with some of the top research scientists in the world. I continued there for fifteen years. I have many publications with them in some of the top scientific journals in the world....

...by the very same people we are trying to teach. In doing so, as tutors , we are constantly reminded on the need to stay current, to continuously strive to add more to our arsenal of information and to simultaneously be prepared to reinvent oneself in a very short period of time. It is my belief that that is what it takes to be a competent tutor. It is also my belief that I come...

I love getting others interested in science and helping students reach their potential. I am very motivated to help others reach their academic goals. I am currently a master's student studying Immunology, but I have a background in general biology and chemistry, too, with a heavy emphasis on molecular biology and genetics.

...Engineering. I have been tutoring for four years in a professional setting and seven years on a volunteer basis, specializing in math and science education. I also worked as a curriculum designer for an SAT tutoring firm. I enjoy tutoring because I am strongly against the practice of teaching to the lowest common denominator of students and I believe that every student is entitled to a teacher that will personalize their curriculum and teaching pace...

...of a top academic university in New York and have been accepted to medical school for the class of 2025. I have worked with Kumon and Mathnasium in the past which has given me plenty of experience tutoring and teaching math and various sciences to elementary through college students. I believe in understanding fundamental concepts the most and can vary my teaching style tremendously to fit a variety of student needs and problems.

...as involving a reciprocal relationship between teachers and students-I believe that teachers have duties to their students and that students have duties to their teachers. I believe that it is my responsibility as a teacher to provide students with the following: an environment conducive to learning, knowledge that will help them be successful in achieving their lives' goals, materials, opportunities, and feedback that will help them learn, and help in becoming and remaining motivated to...

...and my ability to communicate complex concepts in ways that are easy to understand. My passion for science and education also makes my tutoring sessions a lot of fun for my students. Outside of tutoring I love being active and outside. I am desperately trying to get better at tennis in the summer and racquetball in the winter. You can also see me riding my bike around the city all year round.

...biological sciences and minored in physiology and neurobiology. This past year I got my Master of Sciences degree in biology from Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA and am currently working at The Jackson Laboratory as a Clinical Genomic Technologist. I am also a licensed EMT and have been volunteering for two years now! My approach to tutoring has always been taking a practical approach and putting the concept in terms the student is able to...

...extremely passionate about science education, because I think that it is one of the largest gaps in our current education system. There is so much potential to frame science in an engaging and exciting manner, but too often students are left to struggle on their own! In my personal experience, I have found that incorporating multiple external resources such as models, simulations, demonstrations or even virtual labs can fundamentally change a students achievement and investment...

...in my life (milking cows, counseling the unemployed, supervising summer work crews, guiding trail rides...) and, oddly enough, they all involved teaching in some way. Well, not the cows, but THEY taught ME a lot about patience. When I left dairy work for health reasons, my cousin suggested substitute teaching. Then a little third grade boy in a special needs class (my second assignment) stole my heart and my future was decided. After substituting for...

...I have the prerequisite depth of knowledge and experiences in educational settings necessary to tutor all students. My emphasis as a teacher is the learning of the process rather than simply the product. Ensuring that the students have a deep understanding of the content will allow them to succeed more than simply teaching them a trick for getting the correct answer. Setting your expectations high will result in students reaching higher than they could have...

...ability to succeed. I have tutored elementary, middle, and high school students. I like to tutor in Science and Math but I have experience in tutoring in English to students who do not speak English fluently. I was an Adjunct Faculty at a college and taught a 3-credit Genetics course. My tutoring style focuses on lots of practice and understanding the student's learning style so that I can make sure they grasp the concept in...

...all of the basic science requirements, and I took the MCAT this past summer. Throughout my undergraduate years, I have tutored elementary school students in South Bend, IN and in Dublin, Ireland. I believe that every person has the ability to succeed in any course, and I think the key to success is understanding how you best learn as an individual. I am excited to help more students find success in subjects they are struggling...

...learning about integrals, doing titrations, or reading "Moby Dick" isn't always going to be fun. But there is something innately and remarkably satisfying about LEARNING. It's the same sense of accomplishment and joy that you get when you drop a few seconds off your 5k PR. When you finally play your recital piece at full-tempo. When all the time and effort that you poured into something pays off. It's a form of self-improvement that is...
