Award-Winning Developmental Biology Tutors

...standardized tests. We cram with flashcards, pull all nighters, and even sacrifice our social time to prove to the world that we retained what we learned that year. But are we *actually* learning? My goal as a tutor is to make your studies enjoyable. I love to use visual and real world examples to help you grasp difficult concepts. At the end of our sessions, it is my mission to make sure that you can...

...University. While in medical school, I had the honor of co-teaching a MCAT preparatory course. The students found it extremely helpful going through practice problem after practice problem. I believe focusing on the key words in the questions and visual perceptions are the keys to success! In addition to the MCAT, I also took the GRE and successfully entered into graduate school. I hope my experiences with medical school and graduate school may help those...

Over the last few years I have had the pleasure of tutoring some of the most athletically talented students at Temple University. The best part of the job has always been the teammate like relationship we form when setting academic goals together and then reaching them for the student using tools tailored to the student's study style and needs. ... I believe the student's goals for the class are what drives our productivity, so it is...

...or not the student truly understands the material they are learning in class. In my experience, when a student "gets it," they are given confidence to continue to learn in that subject. The most exciting thing for me as an educator is to help students find excitement in what they are learning - a "cool" factor. Showing students how cool (even fun!) learning certain subjects can be because of how it relates to them is...

...passionate about learning and helping others. Everyone has a particular learning style and method by which retaining information becomes effortless. Finding that gem is the key- and this is where having a tutor can really help you excel. Often students do not have as much difficulty understanding a topic, if only it is presented in a manner they personally can digest. I look forward to helping you grow, unlock your full potential and surpass your...

...laboratory courses. I am currently working towards my Ph.D. in neuroscience and I hope to one day become a college professor. I believe that education is the greatest tool a person can use to optimize their happiness and success. I also believe that all students are capable of mastering a topic if the material is presented in a way that matches the students personality and individual learning style. In addition to my experience as a...

...Charlotte and the University of Missouri, and have ten first author manuscripts in high-impact journals. I have taught at the university and community college level. In addition to Varsity Tutors, I am currently an adjunct professor of Biology at John Tyler Community College, teaching face-to-face courses as well as hybrid courses that are half virtual/online and half face-to-face in the classroom. In addition, I am also presently employed by PCG education where I am currently...

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

...leaning and helping others understand. While I know that content knowledge is the focus I believe that personal development and the journey one takes to reach personal goals is the most important aspect of life. I am active and enjoy participating in sports, working out, spending time with family and friends, cooking, and playing with my Aussie, Koda! I continue to improve my knowledge and education by reading and developing myself mentally and personally.... Every student...

...year student Ill be starting a residency in Urology this coming fall. With college experience in Biology, Literature, Scientific Publishing Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry with graduate work in Medicine Ive had the pleasure of working with a number of students and peers over the years and enjoyed helping them master material for courses and exams. I pride myself on my patience and believe that, given the right teacher and motivation, any student can achieve...

...in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Psychology. At the time, I didnt know if I wanted to pursue graduate work or medicine; therefore, I did a one-year program at the University of Cincinnati where I received my Master's in Physiology. During my Master's program I fell in love with psychology and neuroscience and decided to pursue medicine. I am currently a second year at Creighton University School of Medicine. I have...

...on a personal level. It therefore is my philosophy to help students to see how their studies can be integrated to solve much bigger questions. I am a very energetic person and am excited about helping students of all levels reach their fullest potential. In my spare time, I enjoy things that keep me active like hiking, soccer, and volleyball, as well as things like reading and art projects that help me relax.... I often remember...

...including chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics (from pre algebra to differential equations). I have also worked at Stony Brook University as a college biology lecturer. I like to use a hands on approach to tutoring rather than just lecturing, although I find it best to adapt my methods to the learning style of each individual student. I love to dance, especially ballet. I also love to learn new languages. Currently, I am continuing my studies...

...well as the comfortability in accepting feedbacks and critiques. I learnt so when I was the chapter president of Theta Chi international fraternity Due to my organizational abilities, I was also responsible of maintaining records of members' GPAs. I was also inducted to Omicron Delta Kappa which is an international honors society. I was the vice president of this honorable organization and I had to communicate with many leaders across campus to conduct events that would...

...and spent far too much time struggling just to get the answer, much less understand the material.I like tutoring students because I can help make the learning process easier, and perhaps enjoyable. I don't think it is beneficial to struggle for hours just trying to get an answer to a question. Instead, I think there is added value in having someone help you through a problem to understand the material as a whole (while still...

I am currently in my 3rd year of Naturopathic Medical School, pursuing a doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine as well as a Master's in Nutrition. I currently have a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Before starting medical school, I worked as a medical scribe and Anesthesia tech. I love teaching/tutoring students and figuring out the best way for each individual to learn.

I have a Bachelor's in Biology and I enjoy what I learned. I like to reach out and make the subject of science enjoyable for everyone. ... To help students learn and advance in a way that they can understand, with the specific learning style they enjoy.... Introduce myself and ask the student what they want to get out of this class they are needing to study for. Then, also give them some papers to provide...

...student's learning style and try to tailor my approach to that. Everyone learns differently, so I think it's best to avoid a one size fits all approach. I have been a student for most of my life! So I have had a lot of exposure to teachers and tutors with different styles and remembered what I liked about them, what worked, and what didn't. I think the best tutors and teachers that I have had...

...18 in math and science courses. In college, during the summer sessions, I worked with groups of High School students in different summer programs. Some of these programs focused in pre-medical studies such as a 3 week epidemiology course, and another program focused in college preparation courses at Columbia University. More recently, during my master's program I worked part time at Boston University Student Athlete Support Services tutoring college students in science, sociology, and anthropology...

...myself tutoring peers with whom I share a class and enjoy being able to see them understand the material we work on together. Sometimes, it's as simple as knowing background information or seeing material in a new light that makes all the difference in a student's confidence and understanding. Not only is understanding the material imperative to tutoring but supplying resources and strengthening study skills will assist in retaining the new information. Therefore, my goals...
