Award-Winning Biology Tutors in Chandler, AZ

...years of tutoring experience, tutoring students from elementary age to graduate level, as well as working with students with special needs. I particularly enjoy tutoring mathematics, biology, and helping students prepare for standardized tests. I can also tutor in writing and reading, since I have experience as a professional copy editor. My focus when tutoring is student understanding. I believe academic goals are more readily achievable when concepts are understood, rather than formulas memorized. When...

...in the laboratory, classroom and tutorial settings. I believe learning should be fun and that everyone can learn, we just need to work together to find out what works for you. Learning is not just observation, it is also participation. By engaging students in interactive discussions, I encourage curiosity and intellectual exploration. I help students learn how to think not what to think. By learning to think critically, students are able to maximize their potential...

...in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Arizona. I've been on academic probation and truly understand what it's like to struggle with material. That struggle helps me to be a better teacher. I start medical school this fall, which goes to show that it does not matter if you have a difficult start. What does matter is how you choose to respond to challenges and what you do to overcome them.

...love of science and learning through tutoring! I tutor Biology, Ecology, and standardized test prep. From high school to Stanford, I have learned that lectures are often difficult for students to follow. They can lose confidence in subjects because the information is not presented in a way that is effective for their learning. My job is to work with students to figure out the best way to learn challenging material. This may involve breaking down...

...subjects, I am most passionate about Biology, Ecology, Genetics and Anatomy/Physiology. In my experience helping struggling students I have found that the best way to learn is to have fun while you are learning and to make it apply to the real world.

...like the NIH into my tutoring in these areas, using real-world examples from cutting-edge research and scientific communication skills gleaned from poster sessions and academic publications to supplement the teaching experience. Outside the sciences, I also have two years of experience working with a student individually in the humanities. I started with this student in 8th grade; he had no opportunity for formal education in the Classics at his school, but was interested in learning...

...subjects I had taken previously. These topics have ranged from algebra, to English literature, to cell biology. However, I have decided to focus my tutoring attention solely towards PSAT/SAT/ACT prep. Getting into your dream school is a tough task. Helping students achieve their goals is the reason I have gotten into tutoring and I firmly believe I have the ability to make a difference. I have always been a laid back, patient person and my...

...psychology and statistics at Glendale Community College and plan to teach other courses there in the future. I am very excited on the first day of every semester to meet my new students!

While I currently teach college students professionally, I still really enjoy tutoring younger students....

...but soon came to develop a specialty in English (to include reading , writing, and literature). My bachelor's degree is in English Education and my master's degree is in English Literature, so I spent many years studying in this field. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English because I love the art of communication and writing, as well as the critical thinking and history involved in literature. I...

...never been exposed to before. When I started college at Dillard University I discovered that I also have a deep love for teaching. I discovered the ultimate way to assess if you really know something is whether or not you can teach it to someone who may not be familiar with the subject matter. This a great challenge, but I enjoy it. I love to see the look on a person's face when they "get...

...partaken in many formal tutoring programs, such as a class in my high school in which the subject material was the best way to encourage and motivate students for long term success. As a tutor, my goal is to instill confidence in students, develop a curiosity for the world, create a fascination for the fundamentals, and imbue motivation for learning from within the learner. I believe that every person has the capacity for any subject,...

...Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. I enjoy teaching elementary school students in reading comprehension, writing, math, and the sciences. I believe that this is the time to develop a strong foundation for future learning which will help sustain a high level of confidence, build self-esteem, and autonomy. I work to show this age group that learning can be fun by using a variety of different activities and resources so they leave each tutoring session with...

...conducted three studies, one of which was focused on the effectiveness of tutoring methods in the sciences. In my experience, learning how to study effectively can result in significant improvements, and I have extensive experience in this area both through working with students and research. As such, my goal is to help my students become more effective independent learners. My motto in teaching is to study smarter, not harder. In my spare time, I enjoy...

...I began coaching chess in various elementary schools in the area. During the summer I coach students to enter into competitive math competitions and prepare middle school students for the SATs.

My main focus is to build on independent learning and mentor students to become proactive members of the community. I founded...

...his/her educational objectives – regardless of subject, level of difficulty, or learning style. Most importantly, I love to teach! I know what it’s like to be frustrated by classroom material or an instructor’s teaching style; and it is very much a shared victory when I can help others find study strategies that scaffold their learning and academic success far into the future. Good luck and I look forward to our first session together! In my...

...UA Philharmonic. Music has opened doors and brought me to places I never thought possible. More about me: As I said earlier, I am hoping to become a physician, but in my current gap year, I work as a ER scribe at Tucson Medical Center. Outside of teaching and work, I love staying active including rock climbing and working out (but that is not to say I don't love, as much as the next person,...

...Biology at ASU, and I described 10 species of weevil (snout beetle) that were completely new to science. As part of my degree program, I have taught several different science classes. One of my favorite parts of being a doctoral student has been teaching and working one-on-one with students. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing something 'click' for a student. My interdisciplinary training in biology and materials science has taught me how...

...and earth space science in Chicago for two years. For each of these courses I personally designed all curriculum, lesson plans, labs and assessments. Additionally I have instructed a summer school session for Advanced Algebra. I tutor K-8 all subjects, K-12 English/reading/writing, my favorites being general science, ACT Science, and Biology (honors and AP included). I love that science explains how the world around us worksfrom why the sky is blue, to why we resemble...

...AP Environmental Science. From early high school through my senior year in college, my classmates often turned to me for assistance with understanding the class material. I try to pinpoint the earliest or most basic point in a topic which is causing confusion, as grasping these points often leads to my peer or student being able to figure out later points on their own. I also strive to explain concepts in ways the student hasn't...
