Award-Winning Biology Tutors serving Boston, MA

...because they are incapable, but because they aren't learning in ways that align with how they think. For example, I find that visual learners like myself like to see things in front of them, whereas auditory learners benefit much more from a verbal explanation. I also think that the most important part of learning is figuring things out by yourself, so my teaching style largely consists of providing support in addition to explanations and challenges...

...a little while at a Boys and Girls Club and then at a hospital in Atlanta before moving to Boston for graduate school. I got my MPH at Tufts and began medical school at Tufts as well before deciding to take some time away from school to reevaluate my career goals and to enjoy myself a bit! I love spending time with my dogs, playing various sports, teaching, and learning new things for myself as...

...(1974) and Ph.D. in Biochemistry (1976). My specialty in medicine was Pathology with a subspecialty interest in kidney pathology. My research focused on protein structure and drug design using protein crystallography. I taught medical students for 35 years in addition to my clinical and research duties. While I am capable of tutoring a number of subjects, I am happiest teaching math, which is a lifelong love. I believe strongly in the ability of education to...

...concepts as well as applications. Biology, the study of life, is all around as, as well as math. These are everyday concepts that can be applied to any career. As an experienced peer tutor, part of my tutoring philosophy is to connect with the student, and provide unique ways for the student to remember something. As both a student and a tutor, I am adamant about using contemporary examples, analogies, acronyms and mnemonics. Also, since...

...STEM classes about 5-10 hrs per week. Although I mainly tutored those cadets enrolled in engineering programs, many cadets came to me when they were have trouble in general STEM coursework. During my senior year, I also tutored and mentored high school students attending New Brunswick Health Science Technology within the Rutgers Future Scholar Mentorship program. These experiences shaped my principled and conceptual tutoring style. I believe that conceptual understanding is the most important factor...

I am a recent graduate of Tufts University with experience tutoring primarily middle-school age students in English, science, math and history, and adult learners in politics. I am especially passionate about reading and writing, and increasing literacy with my students. Outside of tutoring, I currently work for a tech company in Somerville, and I enjoy exploring the city, playing the piano and guitar, and writing.

...Biology, Biochemistry English, European History, Social Science, Social Studies. My teaching philosophy is simple: I believe all students are capable of understanding any topic of study. My job as a tutor is to help facilitate this understanding by building student confidence. I do this by taking complex topics, breaking them down into simple pieces and then reassembling these pieces to give a big picture perspective. All the tools needed for students to succeed are already...

I am a Biology and Biochemistry double major in my senior year of undergrad. I have worked as a teaching assistant in high school, and also as a peer-led team learning leader in college. I think that everyone can strive and achieve the goals they set for themselves, even if they require a tutor to do so. I would like to be a tutor who leads my students to the success that they desire.

...On my own MCAT, I scored a 516, placing me in the top 5% in the nation, including a top 2% score in the critical analysis (reading) section. On the ACT, I scored in the 95th percentile, with a Reading Comprehension score in the 97th percentile. I began teaching and tutoring in 2011, and have helped students in a number of different areas, including the MCAT sciences, SAT and ACT test prep, and even volleyball...

...and even passion. It's remarkable to be a part of and that's why I've decided to be a tutor. You're probably here because you have academic goals you'll like to reach and so far, you haven't been able to do that on your own. Maybe the road ahead seems so daunting that you're afraid to start. Or maybe you've already started down that road only to be overwhelmed by the formidability of the challenge. Whatever...

I am a recent graduate from Cornell University, with a degree in Biological Sciences and a concentration in Genetics, Genomics, and Development, and a minor in Jewish Studies. I'll soon be headed to med school, but in the meantime, I want to help kiddos learn math and science in a way that makes it fun and accessible!

...individually, attend extra classes to have up-to-date notes, and hold exam review sessions. Once I had more classes under my belt, I became a tutor for my college's science center during my junior and senior years. I was qualified to tutor a wide variety of subjects, anywhere from chemistry to oceanography. I was the only tutor for biostatistics, a notorious class at my university. I am a big fan of the Socratic method. I believe...

...form that almost anyone can understand. I usually do this by gauging a student's background information on a subject, starting with the basics and working up in complexity, until I can determine and focus on what a student is specifically struggling with the most. In my free time, I love to stay physically and mentally active. I enjoy playing sports like basketball, pick-up football, and soccer. I enjoy reading non-fiction novels, watching TV, and hanging...

...Algebra and Chemistry, as they both have discernible patterns within the material which leads to a better understanding as one builds new topics on previous ones. I have found that students have the most success in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they become second nature. Like the subjects that I teach, I believe that education is...

...Science-Biology with a Pre-Medical designation who hopes to go to medical school in the future. I am most passionate about biology and chemistry but have a strong personal interest in history, especially topics overlooked in the past study of history. To me, learning is a life long process and leads to the development of a well-rounded individual. Seeing understanding of a difficult topic and creating enthusiasm for learning is what draws me to tutoring.

...how to handle the uniqueness of each student. Through teaching both Latin and dance, I have learned to plan efficiently and responsibly. I have strong interpersonal and communicative abilities. These characteristics, combined with my organizational skills and determination, give me a distinct advantage in getting through to my students. I am ready to be there for my students as a dedicated, compassionate, and reliable tutor. I'm still a student myself, so I understand how frustrating...

...explain topics in a wide variety of ways. My teaching style is unique. I first listen to my students and learn how they like to learn, and memorize new techniques and skills. After learning about my students, I devise strategies to best fit their study habits. I relate problems to what they like (always trying to make learning fun). I give students pointers on how to learn and thrive in an academic setting. Besides science...

...TV, playing games, and hanging out with my friends. But I've had a moment of change. A BIG CHANGE of my life that brought me to who I am today. With a gentle push from my mother who insisted I take the PSAT for admissions to a competitive high school with an IB program, I reluctantly gave in and took the test. On the day of the results, I couldn't find my name on the...
