...to learn! As a tutor, I always try to relate the material at hand to specific interests of my student. I find that a student understands topics better when we find a way to equate his or her own hobby to the material. With that, I really seek out what the student enjoys doing and use their hobbies as positive reinforcements for learning. Personally, my interests include music (vocal and instrumental), sports, Harry Potter, superheroes,...

High School Biology Tutoring FAQ
High school biology classes enable students to study the science behind living things. It can be an exciting class if you know what you are looking for, but the course's depth can make keeping up with the teacher a challenge. If you or your child need a little academic boost, Varsity Tutors can find you an experienced high school biology tutor who can work whenever you are available.
Here are some of the most important ideas that high school biology tutoring can help you contextualize:
What is an Organism?
Cellular Biology
Mitosis and Meiosis
Genetics
The evidence for Evolution
The Human Body
Ecosystems and Food Webs
Many of these topics seem unrelated at first, but ultimately everything is tied together. For example, the similarity of the genetic code in humans and monkeys is considered strong evidence for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Likewise, vestigial organs in the human body are widely believed to have served a purpose for a previous rung of the evolutionary ladder. Your high school biology tutor can point out these connections to make it feel like a more cohesive subject, so it won't be as overwhelming.
High school biology tutoring also allows you to learn at your own pace. If you understand ecosystems but struggle with Mendelian Genetics, your study sessions can concentrate on the latter to improve their efficiency. You can also ask your tutor questions at any time, enabling you to proactively seek clarification on anything that you do not understand.
High school biology tutoring sessions are an opportunity to learn broader academic skills as well. For instance, if you don't get much out of assigned textbook readings, your tutor may show you how to jot down notes as you go along. Not only does this help you retain the information, it also gives you the chance to note any questions you have for your tutor.
National Common Core standards require students to pass an End-of-Course examination at the conclusion of Biology I or its equivalent in order to graduate. You may take timed practice exams during high school biology tutoring sessions to give you an idea of what you need to know and how long you have to demonstrate it. Reviewing the practice tests with your tutor may also reveal strengths or weaknesses that you didn't know you had!
