Award-Winning Biology Tutors in Raleigh-Durham, NC

...from UNC Chapel Hill with degrees in Chemistry and Biology. While in college, I served as a Biology 101 TA for 2 years, so teaching is not new to me! My philosophy is to adapt to different learning styles, encouraging students to draw, test themselves, and explain aloud different processes or patterns. I also have worked with many students in the past on developing positive study habits and study planning. I look forward to encouraging...

...University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, where I'm studying environmental health science. Previously, I received my undergraduate degree in biology from Duke University. I have taken graduate-level coursework in calculus-based statistics, environmental science, biochemistry, and biology. Aside from protecting the environment and spending time outdoors, one of my passions is the pursuit of knowledge. I would love the chance to pass that on to you along with anything else that you need to get...

...challenges to students. One of my primary goals is to meet students where they are, understand their specific needs, and develop an individualized plan that challenges them and helps them succeed. To this end, I do not follow a specific formula during sessions with my students. Instead, I work with my students to build a plan that meets their goals and helps them achieve success. I look forward to helping you succeed in your studies!

...patient rounds. I also have experience teaching, at the high school level, in a private school in Raleigh, North Carolina. I have always enjoyed these experiences. From another perspective, it has always been clear to me that some of the most important influences in my life have been my teachers. I am very excited for opportunities to teach French or Spanish. I have a home in Brittany and I spend my summers there. I have...

...taking several chemistry and biology courses. Although my current focus is in science, I have a passion for history and culture. This past summer I participated in a study abroad program in Costa Rica, where I had the privilege of meeting and speaking with people from several different backgrounds, such as an indigenous tribe and the “ancianos” from a senior living home. Because this invaluable experience, I am continuing my studies in Spanish language and...

I specialize in helping students develop critical reading skills and strategies for standardized verbal reasoning tests.

...Education is about learning how to think. With this in mind, I strive to help people come to their own conclusions instead of reiterating what we "know". Our knowledge of a subject can change in a day. Flexibility and logic is of more importance than memorization of facts. With me, you will not memorize a set of steps. Instead, you will learn to see what is known and then find your path to the answer.

As cliche as it sounds, I love learning! I also love watching a student's face when that light bulb goes off and they just "get it." That's why I teach (and why I tutor) - to give students the most chances to have their light bulbs go off so that they can become the best students they can be!... I use a first session to get to know the student, let them get to know me, set expectations, and have them work through a couple of problems to see where they need extra help.

...a tutor lies in my ability to provide a client with the confidence to overcome each micro-challenge. To strengthen my client's confidence in learning is just as important as earning an A; mastery of academic disciplines is an exceptional skill that requires the student to be pushed to overcome various setbacks and challenges. Consistence and drive are key attributes that support the inquisition and mastery of academic subjects. The efforts of my students will be...

...research. I am currently studying for my GRE and plan to apply to graduate school next fall. In my gap years I am getting experience in the research field. Science is my passion. Sometimes a new perspective is all someone needs to be able to understand seemingly difficult concepts. I believe in personalized tutoring, that is tutoring tailored to the specific individual. Everyone learns differently, therefore I think the best way to teach something is...

...of these actions, however, I believe that involving a student for learning is a great approach. I first started tutoring both college and high school students during my sophomore year of college. Throughout these years I have learned through my students on how to become a better teacher and serve them to the best of my abilities. I believe that every student is different and, therefore, I become invested in developing new strategies in order...

...Research Group. As an undergrad, I conducted fMRI research at the Brain Imagining and Analysis Center at Duke Hospital to create a novel method to map language brain regions for preoperative patients. At Duke, I was a Learning Facilitator for SAGE (Science Advancement through Group Engagement) and led weekly sessions for underclassmen taking chemistry. I was also the Executive After-School Program director for FEMMES, a STEM educational outreach program for 4th-6th grade girls in Durham....

I'm Grant! I'm a fourth year medical student in Norfolk, VA with a passion for teaching and seeing other succeed. I'm excited to be able to be a part of your education and work towards your success in whatever you hope to achieve. I've been involved in tutoring since middle school and am excited to have time to work with people interested in learning. ... Explore a little of the student's interests and figure out what they hope to achieve. I'd like to learn more about their learning style and what they're looking for in a tutor, while also explaining to them my expectations for them to make sure they are as successful as possible.

...or writing in Ypsilanti, I keep teaching in my life because I love the feeling of seeing a student reach a new level. I'm a big fan of designed independent learning, and my experience has taught me that "studying harder" is not always the answer. With each student, I focus first on organization: what we need to cover and a timeline to get to their goal. I'm a physician assistant student at Duke and hope...

...I'm approved for many levels of French tutoring--ecoutez, c'est parfait parce que j'adore cette langue. I took French 2-4 in high school (including AP French), minored in French at USC, and recently spent eight months living in the French countryside. I love the language and the culture, but understand the complexity and nuances of this beautiful language. Let's work on appreciating it together. If I can be of assistance in your mission to improve this...

...mainly math, science, and test prep. I have experience in AP Chemistry, Calculus, and Environmental Science, and I am focused on ACT test prep. My extracurricular interests include Model UN, social activism, research in environmental science, and conservation/restoration through volunteer work. My tutoring style is very focused and organized, however I believe that learning can be fun too so I try to keep my sessions as fun and engaging as possible. I am a very...

...spent some time in biology research. I enjoy both sciences and humanities (particularly when they overlap), and I graduated with a BS from Duke University in Biology & Philosophy. Tutoring for me is about encouraging students to do their best. Studying is a matter of opening oneself up to the perspectives of a discipline, and everyone is naturally capable of this. Academic achievement is a matter of mindful planning, building on one’s strengths, and confident...

Hello! My name is Connor and I am a recent graduate from East Carolina University with a degree in Molecular and Cell Biology. After graduation I moved to Raleigh, NC and obtained a job at the Duke Human Vaccination Institute. At Duke I run our sequencing core and conduct HIV/AIDS research. I am proficient in many areas of science and math. I look forward to hearing from you!... Especially in Science, I believe organization is key - whether in note taking, solving problems, or taking an exam. Promoting good organizational skills will help students relate formulas, units, and major concepts.

...Tutoring gives me the opportunity to personalize the teaching so that it fits the individual's needs leading to more efficient and effective learning. I plan to develop my student's entire approach to problem solving. This way what they learn has multiple applications and is not subject specific. I will construct a personalized algorithm that they can apply to studying as well as daily homework problems. I believe that effective learning can be taught and developed...

...anyone can do to improve their academic success is to get to know their own style of learning. Systems that work for some people are a disaster for others, and the key is to find one that is suited to you. I believe in trying out a variety of learning approaches and adapting to what works best for each student. I am organized, curious, and relentless in my enthusiasm for sharing ideas, especially about government,...
