Award-Winning Biology Tutors in Salt Lake City, UT

...for college algebra and physical science, and also ran a math and science tutoring lab for a charter school and did private math tutoring for high school students. In recent years, I have had the opportunity to work as a paraprofessional working one on one with a number of special education students, and tutoring third graders with low literacy scores to improve reading skills. Since November 2011, I have been working as the science teacher...

Teaching has been a passion of mine for years. Helping my friends and my previous students succeed has been very rewarding to me, and I am excited to use the skills I have gained to help the students of Varsity Tutors. I believe gaining a strong academic background will help all students achieve their goals.... My teaching philosophy is to promote student engagement by encouraging a fun learning environment. I also believe in the philosophy of "show one, share one, do one." I first show how a particular problem is completed, then I work together with the student to solve a problem, and then allow the student to do one on their own. This builds confidence in the student's ability to solve problems.

...Colombia where I obtained my bachelor's degree in Biology. I have ample experience teaching particularly biology, statistics, ecology, chemistry, and biochemistry. During my doctorate studies I mentored many undergraduate students majoring in biology with intention of pursuing their premed education. Since graduation, I have taught at Washington University and at Harris Stowe University biology related courses. I have also taught Spanish in Colombia, and have helped many friends with their Spanish courses at Washington University....

...primary goal is to help students become independent, comfortable, and confident in the fields they are studying. I love helping people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal. Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe that anyone can master any of the subjects I...

...out without a lot of explanation. In most things, I'm not that guy! Like many students, understanding comes with repetition of principles and hard work. I have the perspective of a student trying to understand, not a teacher trying to preach. I love working with people from the ground up; we start at the comfort zone and work our way to improvement. I know I don't know everything, so I'm excited to learn as well!

...with a minor in sociology. My main tutoring experience involves teaching Portuguese, but I am excited to help others understand whatever they require. I am qualified to tutor ACT and various AP test preparation, as well as most high school-level math, science, English, history, and Spanish. I like to teach simply, but according to whatever style the student feels would work best. When I'm not at school, I enjoy riding horses, archery, weightlifting, sports, fishing,...

...the biological world has to offer. I was born and raised in sunny, southern California, and now work as an ocean lifeguard for Laguna Beach. This job has allowed me to transform anatomical and physiological knowledge from the classroom, and incorporate it into emergency field operations, where we encounter traumatic injuries on a daily basis. I plan to continue teaching and lifeguarding in California after graduating from the University, and from there pursue my final...

...with an interest in teaching. Outside of tutoring I coach a high school debate team, ensuring I stay current with a wide range of topics. My areas of expertise are communication and reading comprehension, which I feel are important to all educational topics. Learning is a critical part of everyone's life experiences and I am fully committed to making it the best experience possible. There is a deep satisfaction in education that I want to...

...business and entrepreneurship. I love sports and play tennis, volleyball, ping-pong, and pretty much anything else with a net. I received a presidential (full-time) scholarship for my scores on the ACT. I will do everything in my power to help you perform as well as you can on the ACT test. I have a great fondness for mathematics and science, and love teaching both to students. When I teach, I won't move faster than you...

...choose someone who is a teacher? With over 15 years of formal high school science teaching experience, and 2 years of University TA Experience in biology, chemistry and anatomy & physiology, I bring a wealth of classroom experience to each tutoring situation. No matter the academic, technological or organizational issues, it's very likely I have worked with students in similar situations at some point. My teaching experience has taught me how to get to the...

...degree in Human Biology and have been a high school teacher of multiple science subjects (biology, chemistry, physical science, etc.) In school, I worked as an English writing tutor for all varieties of subjects, from accounting essays to ESOL student practice. In science, I am most experienced at tutoring genetics and psychology, but my favorite subject by far is neuroscience. In English, I am most experienced at reading comprehension and essay writing. I also have...

...currently taking a year off between hopefully matriculating into medical school fall of 2016. I have done extensive coursework in biology, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, trigonometry, calculus, psychology, sociology, and lab sciences. I have also recently taken the new MCAT and believe that I can teach my tools for success to any pre-student willing to learn them. I have been a teaching assistant for both General Chemistry I and II for two semesters each and have...

I am enthusiastic about biomedical research and have spent my whole academic career immersed in the subject matter. ... I believe in making the learning process something that becomes fun and engaging. As someone who has sat through many classes through my academic career, I have learned what it takes to excel in a subject. I am committed to helping students become top-tier learners. Through learning strategies and making connections with other learned concepts, I hope to help students not only achieve the desired grade but develop knowledge that they are able to recall for years to come.

...to reach their full potential. I have had many people like that that have tried to help me to reach my potential and so I would also love to help others to do the same. I'm a neuroscience major at BYU and I love music in every aspect (dancing, singing, listening, playing instruments, composing, etc.) I have worked with students sporadically since 2011. I tutor especially in mathematics, the sciences, and spanish. I believe that...

...for application. What do I do when I am not working as an educator? Probably running or swimming; I am an incredibly active person. Having been on a sports team for most of my life, I can sympathize with individuals who feel as though they are under time constraints and I can help them create a time management system that will work for them. Also, since I genuinely enjoy reading, I work hard to incorporate...

...that NYC offers! From high school through college and even in my current position as a scientific research associate, I have always been drawn to helping and mentoring my peers and colleagues. I love being able to connect with an individual and develop a beneficial relationship, and I wanted to make it official by becoming a tutor with Varsity Tutors! When faced with a tough problem, I like to break it down piece by piece...

...future is partly dependent upon doing well in school. I am here to be a small part of what helps you get through it. My promise to each student I spend an hour with is to do my best to help you understand whatever it is that you are having trouble with. I have been working in a private school for the last nine years where we focus on the whole child. Getting to know...

...it is because the student has lost one or more of their tools. I will help you get the tools you need. I also tutor chemistry and I find chemistry students have similar issues. What makes mathematics and chemistry so satisfying to tutor is that when you give the student the tools they need, you get to hear that "Aha" which sometimes just comes as a small gasp. In my free time, I run and...

...Environmental Engineering. Since my undergraduate degree was in environmental sciences (and not engineering), I had to take a lot of extra math courses to get into CMU. While I was taking my prerequisite courses to get into graduate school, I worked part-time as a tutor for Upward Bound. My favorite subjects to tutor are math, physics, chemistry and biology. I firmly believe that in order for a class to be interesting, the teacher must be...

...is for a majority of students, ineffective. For years we've heard about how "hands on" learning is a better teaching strategy, but why? The reason being is that rather than simply tell a student how or why a phenomenon occurs, with hands on learning we enable a student to give it meaning. With meaning comes an understanding of material, a practical working knowledge, which enables a student to apply it outside of the classroom. As...
