Award-Winning Biology Tutors serving Smithtown, NY

...the midst of interview season... I have a lot of teaching and tutoring experience. While as an undergraduate at University of Michigan I tutored chemistry and physical chemistry. Immediately following graduation via AmeriCORPs I taught middle school science at MS 131 in Chinatown, NYC. While in medical school I tutored 1st and 2nd year medical students for the USMLE Step 1 and 2. These are the board licensing exams. When not studying I am an...

...in whatever subject you pursue, but you are often better at some areas than others. That's where tutoring is helpful. I can recall relying on tutoring during my undergraduate college education when I struggled with inorganic and organic chemistry (classically difficulty subjects for those pursuing pre-medical studies). But that individual helped to explain things in a way that made sense to me and helped me to learn better study strategies so that I could succeed...

...pursing my Bachelors of Science in genetics at Purdue University, with minors in wildlife science and psychology. I am passionate about all-things biology and eager to help others understand all of its wonderful components! It's how we learn about the world around us and it's what makes us, US! I enjoy all the sciences and I'm excited to help others enjoy them just as much as I do. In my spare time, I like hiking,...

...people. It is so special to watch a student grasp a new concept that seemed entirely opaque only a few minutes earlier. I majored in theater and astrophysics at Columbia University and I am now a playwriting MFA at NYU, one of the best programs in the country (the story of how I transitioned from physics to theater is pretty funny and I???m happy to share it). While my intensive study of advanced Math and...

...a San Francisco Bay Area native recently transplanted to the White Plains area to study the Biomedical Sciences! I have tutored students K-12 continuously since middle school, and I specialize in tutoring Math. I have helped failing students not only get passing marks but even top marks, helped B students to A's, and help A students get A+'s. I focus on helping students master their fundamentals, as well as teach the tips and tricks they...

I love to work with students of all ages! I think that each person learns differently and needs to approach material in different ways. I also believe in organization when it comes to studying and homework. Only with a plan can you hope to be successful! I bring a lot of fun to the table and hope my students bring positive attitudes and an appetite for learning!

My name is Chynna I am a student at Hampshire College. Since my school does not give grades and it is a discussion and critical thinking based school, I believe finding out the form of student a child is, is essential for their learning. I base my sessions on their learning skills, difficulties in understanding and responses to topics.

...As a tutor, I try to show students several different approaches to any task they are faced with, whether it be solving a math problem or organizing an essay. This way, students can find the method that best suits their learning style. Furthermore, they not only learn how to address the individual task but also begin to understand how to approach similar tasks, acquiring skills that can be useful in the future. Outside of academia,...

...bread mold Aspergillus nidulans. This experience led me to pursue a PhD in Biomedical Sciences at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. I decided to start tutoring because it is the perfect opportunity for me to share my passion for science and gain valuable teaching experience. The two things that make me a great tutor are my deep understanding of biology and my ability to communicate complex concepts in ways that are easy to understand. My...

...skills to find and solve problems that matter to them. This is the lens that I teach through, since there's always an application for the skills that we're tasked with learning. By jumping right into problems that matter and learning as we go, students will master topics in both theoretical and applied contexts. On a more personal note, I'm a biomedical engineering student at Georgia Tech. I also study computer science with an emphasis on...

...when I was in high school, and I began advising other high school students for college test prep and applications as I was transitioning to Yale. I am now a sophomore at Yale University. For most of my high school career I attended Syosset Public High School, a National Blue Ribbon School in Long Island. In both academic settings I had great, inspirational teachers who influence the way I view learning today. Patience, validation, encouragement,...

...more help from me after that! By senior year, I was a private chemistry tutor. These teaching opportunities proved to me and everyone else that chemistry can be understood with the correct aid to guide. Throughout my interactions with these students, it made me wish I was able to ask for help from someone who could explain a certain concept in a way I could understand back when I was a sophomore. This regret impacted...

...subjects. I also have a high degree of familiarity with sciences and math like Geology, Calculus, Statistics, Technical Geography, Research Methods, and more. I currently work at a nonprofit for education in New York, and have taught in Austria through a Fulbright, as well as in Kyrgyzstan through a private school. My teaching philosophy revolves around empowering you, the students, to not only learn the material, but also learn what strategies work best for you...

...NYS Board of Regents Scholarship for Academic Excellence. I also worked for a local test prep company, where I tutored the ACT, SAT, AP and regents subjects. I scored in the 95th percentile on my MCAT and love tutoring for the test. I feel that I can relate to students and help them prep in a way that best fits their individual needs. My tutoring method is customized to each student to help them reach...

...facts and figures; a quick google search will give us all the answers to our questions. However, a robot cannot inspire and kindle the imagination of the students and nor do they can nurture students by educating what is right from wrong. Just like two sides of the same coin, a holistic education is a key to successful education. While a good-hearted fool is no use to the society at one side, an intelligent person...

...from my teaching style. I make it a point to make sure the student truly understands the questions presented and that theyre not just memorizing a series of steps without comprehension. I ask them many questions when tackling a problem, stressing that Im there to fill in the blanks and help them improve in the subject Im not there to give out the answers. In my opinion the most important thing about tutoring is to...

...back to school for teaching Spanish and English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). My program allowed me to live in Madrid another year and work again as a teacher's assistant. My second year was in New York and that is how I ended up in the "Big Apple". Outside of work, I love to cook and eat tasty food (especially desserts). I love languages and will speak Spanish any chance I get. I studied...

...microbiology, general biology and neuroscience. I work full time as a Senior Mental Health Tech in a virtual outpatient setting. I am passionate about connecting with students and helping them achieve their goals. I believe in a personalized approach to each student, as every student has their own struggles, limitations, and strengths. Tailoring my approach to each individual gives me great satisfaction and I hope to be able to do so with as many students...

I have tutored extensively in reading, writing, history, logic, and biology, and offered services as a college counselor (I've been accepted into two Ivy League universities). Recommendations from prior clients available upon request. I tutor partially because I plan to teach professionally - I'm someone who is ultimately going to venture into academia, so it is something of a preparation...
