Award-Winning Biology Tutors in Tempe, AZ

...formulas memorized. When helping students prepare for standardized tests I focus on taking practice exams and working with students on the areas they need the most help. Outside of school I enjoy hiking, gardening, reading, and cooking. I like to explore new ways of doing things and being outside. I like to try to strike a good balance between learning, working, and enjoying time by myself, as well as with friends and family. I am...

...opportunity gap for high need students by providing small group math instruction. I find the most excitement in tutoring middle school math and science, Algebra I, and General Biology. I find that for most students what makes any subject hard is being unable to use what you already know and not knowing how to tackle the subject. I want to help students by giving them multiple access points and allowing them to access whatever content...

...their ambitions, and work with them where they are at to achieve mastery. Other than science, I am an avid CrossFit athlete, and competed on a regional team. I am also a Level 2 Certified CrossFit Coach and have coached Track and FitClub. I also enjoy skiing, hiking, kayaking and rafting. On the artsy side of things I have been doing chalk pastels, painting, and crafting since I was a child.

...connections they make will help them in future situations because the students created these connections rather than merely being told information. I do not believe in simply giving out answers. I believe that memorizing answers do not help the student learn and that it actually hurts their learning. In math especially, the topics build on each other and so a strong foundation is necessary to be successful. Aside from tutor-y stuff: I enjoy learning (coding,...

...in aquatic ecology. Understanding the connectedness and patterns of environmental processes in aquatic ecosystems drives my passion to become an ecologist! My goal is to help students view learning as a positive experience! When students learn with me, they usually find that it is a very relaxed, hands-on, and visual process. I excel at tutoring biological subjects, but I also really enjoy helping students improve their writing and standardized testing skills. Every student is different,...

I have a M.S. in Biomedical Engineering and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. I have been tutoring for 2 years and I really enjoy it. Math and Science are my favorite subjects and I am excited to help anyone understand these concepts.

...have presented numerous research papers at national psychology conventions and received a graduate research award for my thesis research. My favorite subjects to teach high school and undergraduate/graduate students are psychology, statistics, research methods, biology, nutrition, and essay writing. I have taken three graduate level statistics courses and I am proficient in a variety of statistical software programs such as SPSS and structural equation modeling programs (AMOS and EQS). Also, I have a strong skill...

...with degrees in both Biochemistry and Classical Studies and advanced study in a number of fields in between, gives me the flexibility to adapt to each student and the power to supplement a student's education with perspectives from other fields. My experience in leadership development, as president of my residential college, also allows me to guide students not only as academics, but also as career- and goal-oriented individuals. Finally, my passion, intrapersonal skills, and experience...

...as a class in my high school in which the subject material was the best way to encourage and motivate students for long term success. As a tutor, my goal is to instill confidence in students, develop a curiosity for the world, create a fascination for the fundamentals, and imbue motivation for learning from within the learner. I believe that every person has the capacity for any subject, and that in order to unlock the...

...sports. I like scuba diving, surfing and just being near any water in general. I also spend my time with an organization called Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE), which reaches out to girls of all ages to promote women in STEM careers. Some highlights of the past year include a Badge Blast with the Girl Scouts, high school demonstrations and taking our members to an archery range. WiSE is about not allowing young girls...

...and plan to teach other courses there in the future. I am very excited on the first day of every semester to meet my new students! It is my goal to make all the material relevant and interesting. I want my students to be as excited as me to learn each and every class. While I currently teach college students professionally, I still really enjoy tutoring younger students. I have worked with students from kindergarten...

...& II as well as helped classmates in courses like anatomy and physiology. I enjoy finding ways to tutor that relate to the student so dry topics like the order of operations can be easier to remember. I believe that math and science are key in getting further in education, which in itself is invaluable. Due to my background in math, I am very comfortable tutoring pre-algebra, algebra I, algebra II, geometry, and industrial engineering...

...species of weevil (snout beetle) that were completely new to science. As part of my degree program, I have taught several different science classes. One of my favorite parts of being a doctoral student has been teaching and working one-on-one with students. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing something 'click' for a student. My interdisciplinary training in biology and materials science has taught me how to communicate complex subjects in a way...

...I tutor Biology, Ecology, and standardized test prep. From high school to Stanford, I have learned that lectures are often difficult for students to follow. They can lose confidence in subjects because the information is not presented in a way that is effective for their learning. My job is to work with students to figure out the best way to learn challenging material. This may involve breaking down complicated ideas into consumable parts, discussing concepts...

...Additionally, I served as a teaching assistant for biology, advanced biology, and chemistry high school students in the Boston area. Since starting school at ASU, I have worked as a teaching assistant for Microbiology labs for over two years now. I absolutely love teaching and tutoring students in biological sciences! Through my experiences and studies I have developed a passion for working with students. I believe I can help students to understand complex ideas, develop...

...to people who did not know me personally. My style is energetic and engaging. As a trial attorney, I routinely have to communicate complex matters to a jury that has no experience in the fields of chemistry, biology and physics. This forces me to adopt an engaging style to ensure they do not tune me out. I have three very bright children of my own that keep me on my toes helping them with high...

...four years, I have worked in educational programs for middle school kids and have privately tutored students at USC in Introductory Biology. I can tutor math and science subjects of all levels for students from 4th-12th grade as well as the SAT. Biology and History are my favorite and strongest subjects as I enjoy the memorizing and understanding of large amounts of information. I enjoy helping students find a solid, consistent method of learning material...

...to those applying to (and being accepted at) the best universities. I'm proud to say that I've helped all my students reach their goals, frequently pushing them to exceed their expectations. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring all that Arizona has to offer -- it's so different from the east coast that I just can't get enough of it! I also like taking my telescope out into the desert to...

...I want my clients to grasp the material step by step and I really encourage them to try as hard as they can. I truly feel that anyone can assimilate nearly any subject as long as they put effort into it and I really try to ensure that they do. I spend a fair amount of time working in a Organic Chemistry Laboratory where I am the current Lab Manager in overseeing all current laboratory...

...the Chicago area. I am married with 2 toddler sons. I enjoy doing activities with them and enjoy exercising as well. I am a very outgoing person but I try to tailor my methods of tutoring to each student depending on their needs and personality. I can tutor on a variety of subjects but my favorite is Spanish. I also love to travel, shop, and dance. I am also a certified zumba instructor and a...
