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....

...amount I have tutored and my overall experience, my favorite subject to tutor is math because there is always one, and only one, right answer. Through effective communication and patience, the student is not only able to learn the mathematical process, but also the ability to think analytically. I would say that my tutoring philosophy is based on encouragement and always validating the opinions of the student before steering the student in the right direction....

...the experience enabled me to develop dreams and aspirations that have lasted a lifetime. I never wanted any eager student to be in my past situation, and I resolved to become the man I needed to be to not only help these students but also become a role model for the youth at my church and my future children. Thank you taking the time to consider me as your tutor! I look forward to growing...

...a variety of subjects. I also grew up with two younger twin brothers who I've been tutoring and helping with homework for most of my life. In tutoring, my strategy is to determine the learning style of the student and to reinforce knowledge and understanding in a way that best compliments the learning style. People learn things differently and at different paces; when students struggle with a subject, it's usually because their learning style conflicts...

...University with my Doctorate in Biochemistry. While at OU I had the opportunity be a teaching assistant in the Introductory Chemistry and Biochemistry programs for 7 years. While my laboratory research was important to me, it didn't come close the sense off accomplishment I was able to get helping students excel in the sciences. I have just recently moved to the Bay Area and am looking forward to applying my teaching and research skills to...

...made me realize what a wonderful place the Bay Area really is. After two years of teaching middle school Math and Science in Burlingame, I currently teach 6th grade Reading/Language Arts and Ancient Civilizations in San Bruno. My mission is to educate students to the best of my ability, while continuing to make curriculum engaging and understandable. I thrive to create connections for each individual student and believe in a positive teaching environment. In my...

...learn new things. A high school student has a career of 50 years ahead of him or her. Think of how the world has changed technologically over the past 50 years. Watch an episode of "Mad Men" if you need a frame of reference. Now imagine how much more things will change over the next 50 years. High school and college students need to be firmly grounded in science and math to meet the challenges...

...the importance of greater things, like the SATs! I majored in molecular and cell biology, with an emphasis in neurobiology, and love everything about science! From chemistry to biology, the intricacies of the human body never cease to fascinate me and I hope that this enthusiasm will catch on, whether it be via passive diffusion or active work! Having tutored for four years during high school in algebra, I have grown to love being able...

...I believe personal relationships are foundational to student’s success because when a tutor listens and spends time building a relationship with students, the tutor creates trust and respect and can truly personalize the learning experience. Seeing my students succeed give me tremendous joy and satisfaction. I’m also a world traveler and a serial gummy bear eater. During my free time, I love to go biking and to create new recipes for my food blog.... In order to encourage a student to become an independent learner, I let the student do their own work and allow the student to answer their own questions. When the student gets stuck and needs help, I ask them questions to help them head in the right directions. In addition, I provide the student opportunities to use resources other than myself such as referring to their notes, textbooks, and online resources. My second strategy is to give students constructive and formative feedback that help students get a clear sense of what they need to do to improve. Effective feedback motivates students to be independent by allowing them to take control of their own learning.

...to succeed in school. For example, I emphasize problem solving and understanding the theory behind a problem rather than just rote memorization. I believe in teaching a student how to approach learning in a way that stays with them long after they are done with their course. Outside of academia, I enjoy anything active such as playing soccer, long-distance running, and practicing yoga. When I'm not working or working out, I enjoy a good book...

...my attention on their specific learning styles. Science and math have always been my favorite subjects, and I am very passionate about teaching these concepts to students. My most comfortable mathematics and science subjects are Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Genetics, AP Chemistry, and AP Biology. Knowing that math and science come hard to some students, I enjoy transforming their struggles into successes. Outside of school I love to attend sporting...
