Award-Winning Bioinformatics Tutors

...I taught for 3 semesters and enjoyed seeing the growth of my students in their critical thinking skills, knowledge of chemistry, and professionalism. I bring an excitement toward subjects, such as math and physics, that often get overlooked and labeled as "boring" or "too difficult", and I try to show my students the tangible relevance of what they are learning and the skills they develop along the way. During one semester, a student of mine...

...basic chemistry and math problems it all starts with the same steps: A) What do I know? B) What do I want to know? C) How do I get from A to B? I did PhD research in computational chemistry and dream of becoming a middle school math teacher if I win the lottery. PS - My online sessions will frequently be monitored by my chihuahua, Piper. She's quiet, but expect a pop-by :)... Students learn...

I graduated with honors from St. John's University with a dual degree in chemistry and biology. I'd love to help you with science or math. I tend to take a problem based style, but I work to find the best approach for each subject for each student. "Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance" - Confucius... I've found problem based learning to be the most successful strategy for the majority of subjects that...

"Any fool can know. The point is to understand." -Albert Einstein... To date, I have found that it is best to view tutoring as a team endeavor. I am a player on a student's team with the goal of academic success and increased intellectual understanding. This outcome is impossible without getting down to the student's level, utilizing age appropriate vocabulary, providing constructive criticism, and establishing their baseline. I have found that reviewing a student's past work...

Hi! I am a Statistics and Biology major with a background in tutoring math up to Calculus 3 (multivariable calc). I have taken statistics courses such as Linear Models, Probability, Mathematical Statistics, and Non-Parametric Statistics. In the past I have applied the languages SAS and R to genetics lab data for statistical analysis.

...areas that aren't making sense. (9/10 times it's because your brain learned a simple, *almost* true rule that sabotages understanding. I like to suss out those broken rules and fix them. :) __________ About me: In addition to a background in learning theory (via doctorate in neuroscience) I have a great deal of experience teaching and tutoring a diverse body: from volunteer work with under privileged youth, to teaching MIT and Harvard undergraduate and graduate...

...the "good teacher" uncritically does not lead to meaningful critical learning, to relevant, long-lasting learning; it does not lead to learning to learn. Focusing the teaching or, rather, the learning on the student does not necessarily mean releasing control, but rather organizing it to take into account that the student is responsible for his own learning, that he is master of that learning. The human being learns meaningfully if he has adequate prior knowledge and...

What's up! I am a recent graduate of WashU with a major in Biology with plans of applying to medical school. I am an expert in mathematics and the natural sciences, and love helping students discover these subjects. I am cool, down to earth, and funny, and enjoy making connections with students.

Teaching is exhilarating, I never feel more energized than after a class that has gone well. My desire is to engage, challenge, and inspire growth in my students. I want my students to make connections between old and new material, while developing a sense of self-sufficiency.

...able to see students go from failing classes to understanding and discovering new concepts in classes. I am able 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...

I am currently a graduate student at Weill Cornell Medical College, getting my PhD in Computational Biology and Medicine. I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Harvey Mudd College in Southern California, double majoring in Mathematical and Computational Biology and French. I have been tutoring students in Math, Biology, and Computer Science since high school. I'm a firm believer in good science education and communication, and I love to explore all types of teaching...

...on earning my Medical Assistant certification and studying for the MCAT in anticipation of applying to medical school. My day job is at RISE Services as a Direct Support Professional working with kids and adults with developmental disabilities to help them accomplish their personal goals. This is where I discovered my passion for working one-on-one with people to continuously push against perceived boundaries and live their best lives. Lessons and skills I have learned from...

I currently work as an academic researcher, mentor, and teacher. I have taught multiple college level biology and science courses. Also, I have tutored middle and high school students in math and science. I truly enjoy working with students and I believe that everyone can understand math and science with the right instruction.

...a lot of standardized tests. For computer science in particular, I have a lot of experience writing software in Python and C++ for AI and systems classes, and I'll be interning as a software engineer at Facebook this summer. I got a lot of great tips and mentorship from tutors along the way, and would love to pass along what I know! Outside of academics, I enjoy captaining Stanford's Ultimate Frisbee Team, keeping up with...

...a little about me, I recently graduated with my Master's degree from Meharry Medical College with a concentration in Health Science. A year before, I obtained my Baccalaureate degree in Biomedical Science from the University of South Florida (USF). While obtaining both degrees, I worked as a researcher in a zoology and neuroscience lab. The projects I worked on introduced me to the notion that in research and in life, "one size, does not fit...

...by TJ. I am currently working as a bioinformatics scientist for the National Institute on Aging. I have tutored before during my undergraduate years at the University of Michigan as well as while I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Peru. I have to say that tutoring in my native language of English was significantly easier! I really enjoy science and math courses, as well as Spanish due to my time in Peru. I hope...

I am a musician who loves to teach and learn. The process of learning and engaging in subjects helps us develop our sense of self and place in the world. Success is as much in the process as in the outcome.

I have a energetic and fun personality that I bring to tutoring. I make sure the students have a clear understanding of what they are trying to learn but also have fun as well. Students that learn while have fun keeps their interest high.

Hi! My name is Cole Grandel, and I'm happy to help you out in a wide range of subjects. My goal here is to help you move beyond the need for tutors by developing deep understanding and lifelong habits of learning.

...company. I have my PhD in neuropharmacology and my undergraduate degree is in neuroscience and psychology. I am a published author with six manuscripts in top tier peer-reviewed journals, a book chapter in preparation and have lectured at a large variety of invited speaking events. I have taken many many science, math and psychology courses. I love to learn and love to help other people learn both basic and complicated topics. If you are struggling,...
