Plant biology has been my passion since for as long as I can remember. Spending a year of my childhood on a farm, I was able to spend time in TN forests, and the variety of different plant life always fascinated me. Eventually I would grow up to translate this fascination into an interest in genetics: what makes these structures work? Why do we not know everything about genetics when this field is integral to...

I didn't always want to be in academia, in fact, I didn't always want to go to college. I grew up believing I was not the "smart" kid but the musical/people-person type of kid. Studying and grades didn't come easily to me and that felt discouraging. Throughout my life, I have learned that my learning just needs to be sparked by the right flame, the right explanation, the right demonstration, because when it does it...

Plant Biology Tutoring FAQ
Plant biology is a very specialized field, covering a variety of nuanced material that can differ dramatically from the topics covered in traditional biology coursework. If you need help with plant biology tutoring, Varsity Tutors can help you connect with a subject-matter expert who can explain both its detailed and broad concepts. Plants are significantly different from the types of organisms you might find in other fields of biology, with foreign processes for energy production, respiration, reproduction, and vascular transport. Are you frustrated by trying to distinguish monoecious from dioecious? Can't remember how double fertilization works, or which hormones are needed to maintain apical dominance? Plant biology tutoring can help you thoroughly comprehend these topics and more, while building study habits and retention techniques to carry your mastery forward into future coursework.
An experienced tutor can explain the role of specialized botanical systems and interactions within ecosystems. Plants form the basis of nearly every ecosystem, so understanding ecology can give you a huge advantage when studying plant biology. Energy flow, trophic levels, niche differentiation, and symbiotic relationships are just a few of the concepts that a tutor can help you distinguish. Even the esoteric field of plant identification falls within the scope of plant biology tutoring. Identification of common plants with showy flowers can be as simple as paging through a guide book. Identifying grasses, mosses, or less common plants requires a substantial amount of specialized terminology. Many of the words have roots in Latin or Greek, but their application to the particular structures of leaves, stems, or flowers can be highly problematic for an inexperienced student.
Fortunately, Varsity Tutors can help you connect with an experienced tutor to guide your studies in the most efficient and effective way possible. Tutors do more than just explain concepts. They can help with study skills, time management, and organization. A tutor can even advise you on improving communication with your professor. After all, your tutor has already been through the course and earned high marks. Another perk is flexibility; your plant biology tutor can set up sessions around your busy schedule, accounting for classes or odd work hours. They can meet on evenings or weekends, and set up meetings at your home, a local library, or cafe. You can even request face-to-face online sessions using our live learning platform. This flexibility enables you to focus on your needs in the fascinating world of plant biology, while also focusing on maximizing your chances of good grades and test scores.
Doing well in classes requires a broad array of skills, only some of which are directly related to particular academic subjects. A knowledgeable tutor can help you with research skills, proper citation management, and editing for compositional projects, as well as help to develop your conceptual mastery of botany topics. Plant biology tutoring sessions can be focused specifically on your needs. Unlike your college classes, which often utilize a one-size-fits-all approach, a tutor can work with you to learn your strengths and weaknesses to craft an individualized plan for improving your overall academic performance. The best part of working on fundamentals concurrently with plant biology topics is that you can potentially improve your performance throughout all of your classes. Working with a tutor for your plant biology class can help solidify your understanding of course material and build your academic skillset to face the challenges of future classes. If you are adequately prepared, you'll be confident and ready to address these challenges.

Recent Plant Biology Tutoring Session Notes
During this session, the student and I continued our preparation for his exam. This time, however, our review was very comprehensive and encompassed all of the material that would be on the exam. Since we had already covered the functions of the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems, we spent a good chunk of our time discussing the important concepts related to the digestive system. Once these issues had been addressed, we did a comprehensive last review of all of the material. I am confident that he is well prepared and will do very well on his upcoming exam.
We reviewed the previous session's material. The student absorbs the material well and has successfully answered all of my questions about the last session's material. After this brief review, we went back to assessment study guide sheets.
During today's session, the student and I worked on getting him ready for his upcoming final in biology. In order to do this, we worked off a review sheet that his teacher prepared for the class. He had already answered many of the review sheet questions; however, we decided to go back through the review sheet in order to ensure he had retained the material. Overall, it was a productive and worthwhile session.
Student and I reviewed the algebra problems he completed for homework, and he finished the remaining problems. We also reviewed for his biology test on phylogenies. We defined the terms virus, peptidoglycan, chitin, and phylogeny. I quizzed him on the taxonomic classifications, the three domains, and the four eukaryota kingdoms.
We reviewed concepts in genetics, cell structure and function, and vaccines. We applied these concepts to different discussion problems and questions from the study guide in preparation for next weeks final exam
The student has a big test tomorrow on organ systems. Her test will cover the circulatory system and respiratory system. We traced the blood flow from the heart to the lungs and back and went through all the major arteries and veins involved in it. We then covered the flow of air through the body and how gas exchange occurs. We covered blood, white blood cells and all that is involved in the circulatory system. We also covered some antigen-antibody relationship and immune response. We touched on blood types and the factors involved in it as well. She felt a little overwhelmed with so much information and so much detail but by the end of the session she had a good grasp of the main ideas and almost all of the details. We will meet next week to start her last unit.
