Award-Winning Biology Tutors in Alexandria, VA

Joshua One of the reasons I enjoy tutoring the sciences in particular is simply because I like the subject matter. I enjoy studying how various things, chemical reactions, or physical systems work. But the main reason I enjoy tutoring is seeing my students gain understanding, the transfer of knowledge, and the 'I get it now' moment whether it is a child learning simple math or a high school or college student cramming for a Biology final.

Christie ...that is really important because it is very hard for a visual learner to learn from just listening. I also engage the student in learning.

William ...tutoring was in a year off between high school and college. I tutored SAT prep, a subject that causes ire in the eyes of many a college applicant, but was honestly one of the more "fun" parts of my application. It was great to see how my students could eventually come around to seeing standardized tests as a puzzle, rather than a chore. I've since spent several semesters as an Introductory Chemistry TA during my...
