Award-Winning Biology Tutors serving Newton, MA

...taught the SAT, SSAT, AP Biology, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry for 2 years. I love teaching students HOW to learn, not just WHAT to learn. I always emphasize hard work - because you always get what you work for. I don't care about natural intelligence, because trying your best and being persistent is the key to learning and improvement. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the student understanding a concept for the first...

...throughout high school and college. - Convenience: My most popular option is for sessions done over the Internet using Skype (if you have questions about how this works, email me!). If you are local and prefer to work in person, I will meet with you anywhere within a 30-minute radius of Hanover. - Customizability: I can provide help with homework assignments, extra practice on difficult concepts, enrichment beyond the school curriculum, occasional sessions before tests/quizzes,...

...local middle school this past semester. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about Math and Sciences, and especially love using pictures and short video clips to help strengthen students' understanding of the concepts. Everybody learns differently, and everybody deserves to learn well- finding the methods that make it 'click' for a student is one of the most powerful tools for life-long learning and is something that I strive for.

...help students understand concepts and problem solving strategies themselves, so that they can tackle and solve their problems and assignments themselves. I love when the students who come to me have their "Eureka!" moments and come to understand the concept they didn't grasp before, or solve the problem that had been giving them so much trouble. It's a really terrific feeling to know that I can make a difference in someone's life that way, however...

I have a Phd in biology and a masters in biotechnology. I have taught 2 semesters of cell biology, 1 of evolutionary biology, 3 semesters of freshman biology and have tutored GRE and TOEFL test prep. I enjoy teaching Biology, biochemistry and microbiology to a college and high school students

...although I enjoy reading and writing as well. My tutoring philosophy is to simplify information into a 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...

I am here to help and tutor students with math, science, history, and web technology.

...of Vanderbilt University where I received a BS in Human and Organizational Development. I also minored in Quantitative Methods and have a passion for statistics. I have spent time living in France and England and love to travel. My time abroad has cultivated a love of language and writing and how to use academic tools in order to create opportunities in life beyond the classroom. I am excited about helping students achieve their academic and...

I am a middle school math and science teacher with 7+ years of experience in both general and special education. I have a BA in Biology and an MA in Biology Education. I am certified to teach in New York and California and have extensive experience with private and online tutoring.

...the same enthusiasm. My style is to identify your weak points by watching you work through problems, to demonstrate a technique that can help you perform better, and then to help you implement the technique to successfully solve similar problems! Throughout my experience tutoring a wide variety of students in SAT and ACT, I have developed a database of methods to help students understand difficult concepts, for every student learns in different ways. During my...

...but I found that my strengths lie in one-to-one interaction. It is easy for students to fall behind, especially with the increasing classroom size. A lot of learning happens outside of school, and without guidance, this learning is often not effective. My goal is to bridge this gap, so no child is left behind because I strive to help my students reach the necessary milestones to ensure they become the best learners they could be.

...skills. Tutoring allows me to fulfill what I believe to be a fundamental responsibility as a scholar: to communicate knowledge to the next generation of academics so they can further develop this world. STEM education in the classroom is important to spark an interest in students to pursue a STEM career. If students attain more science and technology skills they can aid the country's progression and advancement. I want students to appreciate and value science...

As a Tutor I promote the personal growth of every aspiring scholar by using my own experience and knowledge to build upon strengths and work towards weaknesses.

...an ecologist, I'm always interested in the connections between organisms, other organisms and the abiotic environment. I'm also interested in how humans interact with the non-human environment, especially in caring for ecosystems, protecting ecosystem services, transitioning to a carbon neutral economy, and ethics surrounding these issues. I care about students, particularly high-school and college aged students in the climate generation, and hope to equip my students with the knowledge and tools they need to make...

...currently working on a Bachelors of Science in Mathematics and Biology. I have tutored for Chegg.com as well as for my local schools. My favorite subject to tutor is math because the answers are straight forward and it is satisfying for me to achieve the correct answer. I believe in creating a comfortable and relaxed environment for all students. My mentality is to make the subject matter seem easier and less anxiety inducing than when...

...with various students as the president of a community-based honor society, and teaching subject matter concepts as a lab assistant for analytical chemistry biochemistry labs. As a tutor, I try to tie in as many real-world examples to make confusing topics more manageable and applicable to everyday life. I like teaching challenging topics in many different ways until the student can confidently grasp the idea. In addition to concepts, I encourage and help my students...

...students learn, but to actually get them excited about what they study and to find what they enjoy in school. I have worked in the field of education for a decade and have tutored students from four years old to over eighty. Everyone has different ways of learning and I strive to cater to that. I have tutored, taught at the high school and college level, and worked as an educator at a planetarium and...

...resources, something I did not imagine doing when I was in high school. I still remember things I heard or read about in high school,and it makes more sense to me now. The skills you develop just reading and trying your best to understand are skills no one can take away from you. That's the best part of learning - just trying can have beneficial results. Now I find it exciting to break down complex...

...the same questions. I quickly learned that the professors were simply reading off slides; taking little time to explain difficult mechanisms and concepts. As such, few students were learning the material, and almost all of them needed a tutor to re-explain the material. As a result, I developed the ability to tutor at a pace that matches the students' needs. I truly mean it when I say I take my tutoring seriously, and I do...

...on the teacher for information. Another method that I have found to be effective in teaching biology is to make connections from science content to real-life scenarios. Making relationships to everyday situations helps students to see the application and usefulness of biology throughout their lives, in addition to peaking student interest. I believe that I fit the mold of the expectations of teachers within Varsity Tutors. Varsity Tutors embodies an engaging, challenging and skills-oriented education,...
