Award-Winning Biology Tutors serving Redmond, WA

Graduated from Columbia University with a M.S. Neuroscience and from UCLA with a B.S. Psychobiology. Taught high school biology and chemistry for 2 years.

I have tutored in both individualized and group settings for various purposes, including SAT test prep, supplemental learning, and as a primary teaching resource. To that end, I have endeavored to truly understand my students on a personal level to make sure that the way I am tutoring them is the best way for them to learn. I have constructed lesson plans for both a single person and an entire 30 student classroom.

...have ample experience to bring to the table to help students succeed. My favorite part of teaching is making direct connections with students, understanding their strengths and struggles, and helping them move through difficulty to experience success. I make sure to focus on the emotional development of a student, not just the intellectual, because I firmly believe self-confidence is an essential ingredient for growth that can serve a student well beyond my time with them.

...had a special education center and I had the opportunity to work with a class of high-functioning, non-verbal 3rd graders for a year! Throughout high school, I babysat the four children of a family friend on a regular basis, helping with (elementary level) schoolwork whenever required. I began tutoring around the same time, working with the same student for three years. We focused primarily on organization, studying strategies, and any subject matter that gave her...

I am a professional scientist with multiple years of experience in the biopharmaceutical field. I have spent time in the classroom with elementary aged students and am comfortable with this age group. I am also familiar with AP classes and ACT/SAT preparation. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with students and helping them achieve academic goals!

...being subjected to its process is either ignorant or unwise. One could suppose that's another way of pointing out those who haven't been part of it, but that's not my purpose. My purpose is to aid those in the muck of it so their efforts and time expenditure are met with appropriate results, because things are not easy and often times quite grueling. But we deserve better from those who might have a useful tip...

I am a potential friendly mathematician who is also interested in computer programming.

...led collaborative efforts across multi-disciplinary research groups including those focused on immunology, advanced imaging, and gene therapy throughout my career. My proficiency in scientific writing includes preparation and organization of numerous grant and fellowship applications, including budget formulations. In graduate school, I learned how rewarding teaching can be while instructing undergraduate lab courses of up to 32 students at a time in subjects including introductory biology, introductory life sciences, cell biology, and vertebrate embryology....

...This is a highly competitive program that requires proficiency in nearly all areas of high school and college level science and mathematics subjects, which is why I chose to teach these subjects on the Varsity Tutors platform in 2018 (my freshman year of college). When I'm not tutoring, I like to spend my time running, hiking, reading, coding, and doing research. If there's anything else you'd like to know about my background, feel free to...

...students, as well as Health and Wellness support for college students. I am most passionate about providing guidance in the Sciences (especially health-related) as well as more general Math and Literature. What I consider to be my most important value when it comes to education is being able to truly align with what you learn by finding a sense of purpose and joy in the mastery of even the most challenging of subjects. In other...

...be able to teach material back to me, since that is the sign of true understanding. When I see someone's face light up when a complicated set of ideas is distilled into a viscerally understandable (and exciting!) bite-sized concept, I get a sense of fulfillment like nothing else. Learning math or science is all about that one moment where everything "clicks" into place, and when it happens, you notice. That feeling is what drives my...

...undeclared, though my primary interests are Computer Science, Comprehensive Mathematics, and/or ACMS: Discrete Math and Algorithms, with a possible minor in physics. While, I am passionate about all of these subjects, I am also generally interested in the progress of technology, and find myself excited at any new breakthrough. I am a firm proponent of education, and believe it to be necessary for a proper quality of life. In my free time, I enjoy exercising,...

...also pursuing pre-medical studies. I have gained a wide variety of teaching and tutoring experiences in classrooms and via community service work. I was a teacher's assistant for grammar and honors chemistry courses at the high school level. I also assisted English Language Learner (ELL) students with questions regarding their high school coursework. No two students are alike, so I strive to personalize tutoring sessions to best facilitate the learning of each student. I am...

I believe that education takes form in various stages and via different platforms. If you struggle with a particular material, dont despair! We just need to tweak the way you learn the material.

...with substantial experience in essay writing, mathematics, history and SAT, PSAT and AP tests (10 AP tests taken, including 5's in Calculus AB, Spanish, Biology, Statistics, US History, Comparative Government and English Language). As a tutor in the humanities I bring a strong command of writing mechanics and research and argumentative strategies, as well as background in history (a subject in which I've completed a minor) and Spanish (including a summer immersion program in Spain)....

...in childhood. I intend to apply to Clinical Psychology PhD programs within the next few years. My love of theatre, psychology, and math all work together to help me become an effective tutor. I love finding creative ways to make content clearer for my students' unique learning styles. While I am capable of engaging with a wide array of material, my favorite subjects to tutor are Writing, Statistics, Psychology, Neuroscience, and GRE Quantitative.

...challenge of that test. I am an adamant believer that everyone is a life-long learner, and no matter the subject everyone can learn and understand how a certain discipline views the world. I believe that a positive attitude, a little hard work, and developing personalized self-learning strategies are the most effective way to master any topic. Outside of tutoring, I love to swim, explore outdoors, read, draw, and appreciate new art and music with my...

When I tutor, I am working to share my excitement for learning. Each student is different and deserves to have a personalized experience, and I take pride in identifying my students' learning styles and tailoring their sessions to fit their relationship with academics. My primary goal is to help my students achieve theirs.

My philosophy of tutoring is to help students achieve their academic goals and help them become comfortable about their learning processes. I have experience working as a writing tutor at University of Washington for the past two years and am comfortable tutoring in math and science from my recent study for medical college entrance exam (MCAT).

...learn biology, not only for helping them excel on exams, but in the real world. Here is my statement of qualifications: Synthetic biologist with evolutionary biology, microbiology, and molecular biology experience in academia and industry 10 years of experience in recombinant strain development and characterization (synthetic biology, metabolic engineering) 15 years of experience doing laboratory evolution and fermentation experiments (evolutionary biology, microbiology) 19 years of molecular biology experience with PCR, gel electrophoresis, cloning, DNA sequencing...
