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...
