Award-Winning Biology Tutors serving Lawrence, MA

...do what is necessary to find that answer for you and help make it clear. I focus on not only teaching the material, but also helping students think critically. Focusing on learning techniques and expanding one's toolbox is the most important way to tackle unforeseen problems. The biggest challenge I find students have is bridging the gap between what they already know and what is expected on an exam. Sometimes students get discouraged after studying...

While working as a dorm parent and as a chemistry TA, I also assisted students in studying for a variety of subjects, even those that I didn't nominally teach, such as history, French, English, and Algebra II. In this capacity, I worked with approximately twenty students outside of my official classes. This taught me to get to know kids' learning styles and difficulties quickly. In my work as...

...every person's learning style is different. I believe the most valuable learning comes when students are encouraged to solve problems using their own basic knowledge and skills, rather than being told to memorize a certain formula or simply being given the answer. This is what I strive to do with all of my students. My friendly, energetic, and patient personality has helped students to feel at ease in the past, stimulating interest and confidence in...

I believe in taking an open-minded approach for my tutoring, and based on my students' strengths and weaknesses I like to develop a unique tutoring style. This most often ranges from focusing on being able to explain concepts in words, to taking a more visual approach and looking at the big picture, to working through problems to figure out areas of difficulty....

I truly believe that every student has the ability to thrive if the subject matter in presented in the right way. In my spare time, I enjoy staying active whether it be playing tennis or just going for a jog. My true passion is ecotourism. If it has great scuba diving and rainforests, then...

Throughout my life from a very young age I have been helping peers and mentoring younger students from middle school all the way to medical...

I believe that there are so many ways to achieve an understanding for whats being taught, which is why...

...ever since been "paying it forward," educating high school and college level students, and now medical students. The greatest satisfaction is seeing my students get that "ah ha!" moment when everything comes together, and then seeing them go on to accomplish what they always thought was impossible.

I also have experience as a part of the Best Buddies organization during high school, and so I have some experience with special needs students as well.

...one day become a doctor. My main teaching philosophy is to help students learn and identity fundamental techniques that they can then apply to future problems and situations. While I believe that content-based learning is crucial, I also believe that learning the principle skillsets and analytical techniques fares much better in the long run.
