Award-Winning Biology Tutors in Cupertino, CA

...feel as excited and interested as I do towards the material that I teach and hearing my students tell me that they learn more with me in an hour than they do in an entire week of school! When I teach, I strive to let my students know that they are in a safe place where no question is too insignificant to ask while simultaneously encouraging them to be active participants in the sessions so...

...of Arts in Biology. I earned my Master's of Science at U.C. Santa Cruz. My Master's degree is in Microbiology and Environmental Toxicology. While at U.C. Santa Cruz, I worked as a teaching assistant in a microbiology discussion section and a microbiology laboratory section. I work in public health, but also plan to study for my PhD in Microbiology and Infectious Disease. The subjects that I tutor include standardized test preparation, and biological sciences. However,...

...is not only encouraged but expected. When I'm not working in the chemistry lab or stuck in front of my white board, I love to be outside. I ride my bike, run, hike, and do yoga outdoors. Last year my friend and I completed the 3 day backpacking trip on the Skyline to the Sea trail in the Santa Cruz mountains. I also enjoy live music and attend many small shows in San Jose as...

...Math, two of my favorite subjects to teach. As the daughter of a third grade teacher, I place great importance on education. I have witnessed the positive impact that increased one-on-one attention can provide for students. I tutor every subject with enthusiasm, striving to make every session informative and fun. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and hiking. I also love to travel and have visited over ten countries, in addition to living...

...importance of education, and the personal value in sharing the skills I've learned. I tutor math at any level up through Calculus 3 and Linear Algebra, as well as Physics and Chemistry. Math and science have always been my favorite subjects to study and teach, because they are built on evidence and proof. My teaching philosophy is based on this- that if you know how something works, rather than just that it works, you will...

I have a Bachelor's of Science in Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology. I am very passionate about the life sciences and also have experience in psychology and mathematics. I am an active volunteer at a children's hospital and plan on pursuing a career in medicine. My goals are to help my students learn in a fun environment that also nurtures their appreciation for that subject.

...am excited about tutoring science and math subjects given my predilection for engineering. As an undergraduate, I was a teaching assistant for the Economics Department where I taught lower and upper division sections along with hosting individual office hours. Herein I learned that the best method to convey complex concepts is through customized practice problems that increase in difficulty and the number of interrelated topics they test. In addition to tutoring, I also volunteer at...

...as a full-time research specialist in a cancer biology lab at the University of Pennsylvania and part-time as a lifeguard and swim instructor at the UPenn pool. I am starting medical school this fall. Clearly I am passionate about science, and I think a huge part of that comes from a general love of learning about the world. I have always enjoyed teaching others, and helping students find things that they are passionate about. I...

I am currently a sophomore at Stanford University studying bio-engineering along with pre-med. I have tutored in the past and love seeing the students I tutor progress. I also coach gymnastics, so I greatly enjoy working with people and teaching them skills in general. I specialize in ACT and high school math tutoring because I remember the importance of the subjects and would like to help other students be as successful as possible. ... I believe that the most important part of teaching students is teaching them how to learn and the importance of the learning. So, in math, I will focus on effective problem solving. In reading, I'll focus on passages. And in all subjects, I'll concentrate on how important it is to put in as much effort as possible. In other words, I will try to highlight not only how important it is to try but also how enjoyable it is to learn challenging material.

...classes that I enjoyed so much. My teaching philosophy focuses on the idea that different students learn different ways, and as a TA or a tutor, I strive to express different ways of thinking about problems. The teacher presents information one way, and I'll express it two or three different ways until one sticks! I also think that college-bound high school (or middle school) students can benefit greatly by learning what to expect in college....
