Award-Winning Biology Tutors in Seattle, WA

...In addition, I am prepared to tutor college students in ecology, which was a particular interest of mine while obtaining my degree. Outside of academics, I am interested in long hikes through the woods of Washington, reading fiction and nonfiction for pleasure, and getting to know my new city. In addition, I am enthusiastic about cooking and baking, and love to try new recipes, with varying levels of success. I have a personal passion for...

I am passionate about tutoring and about making students love learning. I can help with test prep, study skills, organizational skills, or a variety of subjects including up to college level physics, chemistry, and biology. I am currently finishing my Master of Athletic Training, and am extremely knowledgeable in the fields of Exercise Science, Anatomy, and Healthcare. In my free time, I love to hike and bike as well as attend sporting events.... When students are...

...I understand that Math can be complicated, and it is not something you get right away. I believe with practice and skill one can be better able to understand it. I know this because I also grew up not liking Math but ironically ended up teaching it. I believe you need to be patient and understand the student's strengths and weakness in order to effectively teach Math to students. Relating Math to real life examples...

...University of Washington. Both of my degrees are in Public Health. I enjoy mentoring and teaching students of all ages. I have mentored K-8, high school, and beyond. In addition, I have taught graduate level classes at the University of Washington. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I really enjoy tutoring math and science. I am a mentor for a girls' after school STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) program, and I am...

...this approach tends to lead to a deeper understanding so students are able to recognize and navigate similar topics in the future rather than merely the problem at hand. Along similar lines, I like to connect topics to the real world and other areas the student has more experience with or is enthusiastic about. In math especially the abstract nature of many concepts can disillusion students early on in the learning process, and bringing those...

...groups and subjects, encouraging students to achieve their full potential I am currently staying at home with my two little girls. It has been a real adventure finding new and interesting ways to explain the world around us in the simplest language to my young children. I enjoy the questions they ask when their concepts of how things work are just forming. I try to encourage the students I tutor to ask "why?" and give...

...interests in education here. The prospect of a career in education has appealed to me since I entered college. As an undergraduate at a liberal arts college, I found it easy to establish relationships with professors because they led my discussion and lab sections, much in the way that high school teachers interact with their pupils. This level of involvement between student and teacher appealed to me and I entered the academic training ground of...

...during my own education, I had the opportunity to work with many peers and students to help them reach their goals. Most of my experience is in math and science tutoring, which I enjoy tremendously. There is nothing quite like reaching the point where a new understanding opens up a new way of looking at the world, and I find these moments in math and science. In my free time I enjoy reading or spending...

...at Seattle Pacific University. I received an Advanced High School Diploma from Oregon City High School and was Valedictorian of my senior class. My major is biochemistry, and I plan on going on to medical school after my undergraduate education. I enjoy tutoring students in mathematics and sciences because I find these subjects the most intriguing and applicable to real world situations. When tutoring, I try to create a learning environment that is low stress,...

...enjoy volunteering in medical outreach events, partaking in biomedical research, and tutoring students to help them succeed! My passion for tutoring and teaching began back in elementary school. As a kid, I excelled in mathematics and often found myself helping other students understand the material. Students from a young age would describe how my teaching methodology made "so much more sense" than the way their actual teacher described. As I tutored fellow classmates, I discovered...

...students connect the dots, enabling them to master the material and themselves as they improve their study skills and self-confidence. I have worked with students of all ages in a variety of subjects and settings, from all backgrounds in this country and others. I have found, consistently, that the best way to connect is to be genuine and sincere with enthusiasm for the material and compassionate consideration for the learner. It is a pleasure to...

...in Biology and Environmental Science. I specialized in Ornithology, the study of birds; I'm a big bird nerd. I've had experience tutoring biology, math, and environmental science for the Athletic Department at UW and serving as a Teacher Assistant for UW's Biology Department, including a biodiversity seminar to Peru. Just like the D1 student athletes I work with, academics sometimes don't come naturally, but I look forward to fixing that false assumption. In addition to...

...fourteen years old. Because of this background, I am fluent in both Chinese and English. I recently finished my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and minor in History at the University of Washington (Seattle campus) and I am going to start dental school at NYU next school year. Science and math have always been my strong subjects and I love learning more about our natural world. In my senior year of high school, I got my...

...Ecology and Organismal Biology. I believe that hard work, curiosity and an open mind are the keys to lifelong learning. Often the journey to academic success is not a solo one, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share what I know in a way that inspires and educates students. My passion for education stems from a desire to become more aware of the world around me and to help others do the same,...

...twice and other times weekly or twice-weekly sessions all semester long. I like to work with students to figure out their own ideal learning system, because everyone is so individual, and tailor study sessions to a student's individual strengths. I think a good teacher helps a student with learning skills that will set them up for independent success in the rest of their academic career. My favorite teachers have all been patient, encouraging, and enthusiastic,...

...high school, and adult students. I have also worked in education as an outdoor educator for youth where I lead backpacking trips in different parts of the country. One of my favorite parts about tutoring is getting to work with so many different students on a one on one basis. Being able to develop relationships and see students succeed has been one of the most gratifying aspects of working as a tutor. I am currently...

...experience tutoring middle and high school age students, particularly in math and English, in the Los Angeles area. I am patient and understanding, and my goal is to foster a comfortable environment and mutual respect. I make sure that the students I work with know they are important and capable, because I have found that they are most willing to engage and put in effort when such a relationship exists between us.

...phenomena. As a tutor, I love the moment when a student finally understands a troublesome concept, and a light bulb goes off in his or her head (often accompanied by an “Ohh!”). There’s an explanation that does the trick for everybody, and we just have to find it – that’s my teaching philosophy. I like to use lots of analogies and stories in my explanations, because anchoring difficult concepts in everyday experiences makes them much...

I also have extensive experience taking science and math classes at the University of Washington. Lastly, I also have experience with the MCAT (medical school test) and scientific research so if you are an aspiring doctor or scientist I am here for you! I have some...

...Biology. I first started tutoring during my gap year between high school and college when I helped build a local tutoring service with a friend. Even though that tutoring service is no longer operational, I continued to tutor students throughout my time at Columbia. As a tutor, I understand that each student is unique. Instead of doing to same routine, I like to develop a tutoring strategy that caters to each students' strengths and learning...
