Award-Winning Biology Tutors serving Glendale, AZ

...to adjust my tutoring style to the needs of a student. Otherwise, I hold tutoring sessions by reviewing a concept and tying it into helpful learning devices, working through practice problems with a student while answering any questions they may have, and then summarizing what was done, answering final questions, and constructing a goals list at the end of a session. I mix homework and test-style problems with fun games like Jeopardy and Kahoot to...

...(thriller, murder mystery, and horror) and hope to get them published someday. My approach to tutoring is to help ensure that the student has a solid understanding of the fundamentals of what they're learning. While it may be possible to get through a class by memorizing seemingly disjointed facts, students will have a much easier time learning and remembering information if they understand why it's important in the first place, and how it relates to...

I have experience in the medical microbiology lab at the Hawaii Department of Health and a virology research lab at University of Hawaii at Manoa. I love Microbiology and Spanish!

...the LSAT. More and more people asked me to tutor their children, so I contacted Varsity tutors to extend my reach 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...

...well as partaken in many formal tutoring programs, such 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...

...reason I have gotten into tutoring and I firmly believe I have the ability to make a difference. I have always been a laid back, patient person and my time working at a medical clinic has helped me develop the capacity to effectively communicate complex information to others. I believe these characteristics will help me tailor lessons specifically for each student, and teach them in the way that they learn best. On top of the...

...bowling, to working on school work and improving understanding of material, and even behavioral/habilitation therapy including sibling interaction, self calming techniques and expressing his everyday wants and needs. To me, receiving a quality education is the key to opening the door to one's future. It creates the potential to reach goals and stir up motivation previously unknown. A good teacher has the power to change a child's life by showing them they are capable of...

...have a B.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Arizona. I've been on academic probation and truly understand what it's like to struggle with material. That struggle helps me to be a better teacher. I start medical school this fall, which goes to show that it does not matter if you have a difficult start. What does matter is how you choose to respond to challenges and what you do to overcome...

...undergrad, I have provided private tutoring in a variety of subjects over the last 12 years. This, combined with experience from instructing four university courses during my graduate studies, has allowed me to develop what I like to believe is an effective teaching style, focused on addressing outcomes both short-term (passing a test) and long-term (learning fundamental concepts relevant to future courses). When I’m not busy with work, I enjoy exercising, mostly running and weight-lifting,...

...at-ease with the direction of study but also to be productive and engaged in the material. Tutoring is about working together so that he/she can solve it, not me giving the student the answers. Many times students know so much more than they realize, and showing that to them is always the first thing I try to accomplish. I am about pinpointing the problem and making small changes to have the most impact. In my...

...a specialization in Neuroscience from the University of California San Diego. Between my undergraduate education and medical school education, I tutored high school students in a variety of subjects, including Algebra, Chemistry, Biology, and Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, because it is one that students struggle with a lot, and it makes me happy to see a student grasp a concept they have worked hard to understand. I believe that there are...

...of a job as quickly as possible. Give the student study skills, tools and confidence to get to their desired level of competence on their own. I don't give answers; we find them together. I try to add realism and practicality to the sometimes dry, theoretical learning experience. There is nothing more satisfying than to see a student's success and progress. I love music and sing in three groups that entertain at hospitals and nursing...

...to be able to "teach" the topic. As someone who recently graduated Arizona State University with a B.S. in Microbiology, I understand the hardships that many students must face in large classroom learning environments and so I can relate to younger or more mature adult students. I have much experience in working in a lab setting where application and science work in tandem so I realize the necessity in flexibility and the importance in explaining...

...1997. I love to understand something I have struggled to comprehend, and so I enjoy tutoring students to achieve a breakthrough in understanding and accomplishment. As I learn best in a visual and hands-on format this is my teaching style as well. Prior to becoming a teacher I was a business owner and licensed contractor producing rock and gravel and building roads. I am an enthusiastic proponent of Education – my own and others –...

In this position, I guided and mentored many of my peers, be it academically or personally. My specific academic strengths are ecology, evolution, genetics, biological anthropology and archaeology. My interests in these topics were heightened when I had the opportunity to participate in a study abroad program in Kenya. I was able to extensively study...

...major, so I settled for Kinesiology: the study of human movement. I also took 20+ credits of chemistry and realized how awesome of a subject it also was. It is amazing how often chemistry and biology are used in our every-day lives. For this reason I love tutoring the subjects. There is no greater feeling than knowing I helped someone succeed in life, and I am lucky enough to get that satisfying feeling from tutoring....
