Award-Winning Biology Tutors in Tucson, AZ

...the last 2 years overseas being a stay-at-home-mom to my three boys due to my husband's military service. I'd like to start using my skills to help struggling students, while keeping the flexibility to stay home with my youngest who is not yet in pre-school. Having taught in a public school setting, I have had experience with students of all abilities and understand that each student is unique; and therefore each student may learn slightly...

...to learning. Whenever possible, I attempt to motivate the student towards learning the subject at hand by explaining how such knowledge will benefit that student in their own personal life. And patience is a must for successful learning! Learning requires work and effort. I attempt to make the task of learning easier by helping to motivate the student, and by helping the student overcome any anxieties they may have toward the subject at hand. I...

I graduated Honors from the University at Buffalo majoring in Physics and minoring in math. I have an innate passion for math and science. I also have a passion for teaching; helping students grasp a difficult concept is one of the most satisfying experiences.

I also published peer reviewed papers in Spanish. In addition to Spanish language skills, I am also an experienced and published writer. My papers have appeared in high profile venues like the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science and the Proceedings of the Royal Society. I am particularly motivated...

...Working with students with a wide age range and with a variety of learning styles helped me appreciate the different methodologies of learning and teaching the materials. Teaching styles vary when going over algebra and basic calculus to organic chemistry to human anatomy, but my tutoring style begins by talking to the student to understand the personality of the student. By talking, this helps both myself and the student see how they will learn the...

...both focus on the student's success. The success of a student isn't measured by knowledge of facts, but should instead be demonstrated by the understanding of content, to a level which is beyond rote memorization, and instead focuses on adequate application of the student's knowledge. It is the teacher's role to not create a dictionary or list of facts to be pulled from, but to encourage critical thinking, and application for any problem headed towards...

I enjoy helping others learn and understand what they are being taught. There is no right or wrong to do something.

Teaching is exhilarating, I never feel more energized than after a class that has gone well. My desire is to engage, challenge, and inspire growth in my students. I want my students to make connections between old and new material, while developing a sense of self-sufficiency.

...that are essential to success in the classroom and in a career. My son, now an honor student in college, has kept me grounded in tutoring from younger age levels through college. When I am not working, I love to get on my road bike and ride. Ive cycled since I was a child and still love the feeling of pedaling, climbing hills and going fast down them. Other interests of mine include reading and...

...Arizona. I am a hardworking Alaskan who bizzarrely discovered a passion for the outdoors at Woodstock School (Mussoorie, India), where I graduated high school. My favorite subject to tutor is biology, which I find to be a deeply fascinating and exciting field of study. I also tutor chemistry, math, python, reading/writing skills, and test prep. I have been tutoring since I was fifteen years old and have always found it to be a deeply fulfilling...

...things, and I'm not even 40 yet! But through everything I've done, I've always been a problem solver. This is what led me back to engineering after so walking so many other paths. I want to pass on my love problem solving in math and science. I'd also like to encourage more young people to gain general problem solving and logical thinking skills. With more young brains awake and working, humanity might be able to...

...areas of Microbiology and Immunology. Through my educational experiences in the scientific field, I have come to appreciate that learning is lifelong endeavor. My prior teaching experience includes tutoring math, english, reading, and science to elementary and middle school students during my undergraduate career at the University of Texas at Austin, as well as being a Teaching Assistant for a graduate-level science course at the University of Arizona. I look forward to the potential opportunity...

I'm almost a doctor! Ask me anything! I studied Human Physiology in college in addition to all the pre-requisites for medical school. I'm a 4th year med student now and can answer any questions related to that as well :)

...develop. My approach to tutoring subjects that center around problem solving, such as Chemistry and Physics, is to go over a variety of example problems and learn all the different methods to solving such problems. For subjects with more abstract concepts, such as Biology, Biochemistry, and other Life Science topics, my emphasis shifts towards understanding the broader picture. Outside of academia I spend a lot of time rock climbing, backpacking and doing whatever it takes...

...I tutor many subjects, most especially essay writing and editing, grammar and mechanics, reading comprehension and critical thinking, public speaking, Spanish language, study skills and organization, and U.S. history and politics. The courses I have designed and taught at the University of Arizona have been cross-listed in economics, mathematics, psychology, political science, law, and family studies and human development. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy learning old time and bluegrass fiddle tunes by ear and...

...fresh and reinforcing it the whole time. For math I find it especially useful to explore different applications of the subject matter to help motivate what we are learning and keep it interesting. Overall, I think science and math are cool, fun, challenging and worth every minute you put into it and I enjoy sharing my own interest whenever I can. I like to keep my lessons lighthearted and with three younger siblings I have...

I love science and have a passion for conveying science to other people. Whether that be discussing science topics among my peers, friends, family, or the general public or tutoring people, I want others to have a deeper understanding of science and potentially come to enjoy it as much as I do!

...three years of French and would love to tutor the subject. I even went to France for six weeks while in high school and learned more in that short time than I did from the three years of formal classes! That was truly an unforgettable and life-changing journey! Nonetheless, my favorite subject to tutor is chemistry (primarily general or organic). I have been "in love" with chemistry ever since my high school chemistry teacher inspired...

...from gunsmithing to computer science, but chemistry was the first thing that I was great at. I have a knack for connecting abstract theory to the history and modern practice of the sciences. I got my degree in biochemistry from the University of Arizona, where I taught general chemistry labs and TA'd for many semesters of biology. I focused much of my attention on organic chemistry, taking both the majors courses, as well as the...
