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...
