Award-Winning Evolutionary Biology Tutors

...college essays, and study strategies. I am also driven to teach young students to become better overall writers and critical readers as these skills will affect all facets of their educational career. My ultimate goal, however, is to go beyond the material a student is currently struggling with by teaching them how to successfully identify and address areas that need improvement. The ability to teach one's self efficiently and effectively is a skill that will...

...clear understanding of class material or strengthen critical thinking skills. I firmly believe knowing concepts allows students to expand their problem solving skills into unknown territory and allows them to better address unfamiliar questions and problem sets. I recognize that not all students learn best through the same teaching methods. I like to try multiple ways of teaching styles until I find something that works for the student. I will put a lot of stress...

...has been teaching and working one-on-one with students. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing something 'click' for a student. My interdisciplinary training in biology and materials science has taught me how to communicate complex subjects in a way that anyone can understand. I am available to tutor a variety of subjects in mathematics and biology, and I can also help my students prepare for both the verbal and quantitative sections of the...

...in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology. My interest heavily lies in the area of the brain - from how it affects our thought process to the way it maneuvers the movements of our body and our actions. I worked at the National Institute of Mental Health to study Schizophrenia, a disease of the brain that affects and debilitates many patients across the globe. Currently, I am a medical student in DC. I like exploring new cities,...

...Yale University conducing research in genetics/neuroscience. Throughout the years I have had many opportunities to interact with and train students. Specifically, as a graduate student I have had experience as a teaching assistant for general biology and advanced genetics lab courses, and have also tutored high school students in AP chemistry. Hopefully as a tutor for VT I can make STEM courses more approachable and rewarding for high school and undergraduate students.

...Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry at University of Central Florida. Since I graduated Ive been traveling, tutoring graduate admissions tests and surfing. Ive been working with the Michael J. Fox foundation as an ambassador to bring about awareness for Parkinsons disease. I have tutored every single undergraduate and graduate admissions test there is, both as a class and one-on-one. I am a strong believer that no test is unconquerable if we work as a team.

...first started tutoring during my gap year between high school and college when I helped build a local tutoring service with a friend. Even though that tutoring service is no longer operational, I continued to tutor students throughout my time at Columbia. As a tutor, I understand that each student is unique. Instead of doing to same routine, I like to develop a tutoring strategy that caters to each students' strengths and learning styles. I...

...Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University. As of right now, I am a freshman working for a Biological Sciences degree. Previously, I went to BASIS Chandler, where I tutored students who needed help. I tutored Microeconomics, French, and Math (up to Calculus AB). My favorite subject to tutor is mathematics and Biology. Mathematics has a broad range of problems that are applicable in real life. Biology is a fascinating subject because it is...

I've dedicated the last 30 years of my life to the study of biochemistry and theoretical physics. And I'd like to share this with my students.

...and colleagues of all levels succeed. As much as I love to deepen and broaden my understanding of the natural world, I also really enjoy helping open this world up to others. I have bachelor's degrees in newspaper science and biology from Syracuse University and the University of South Florida, respectively, and a PhD in biological oceanography from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A lifelong fascination with biology has led me to learn about nearly...

...Arizona University. I am a Microbiology major with a Chemistry minor, along with a Modern Language major with an emphasis in French. I am a member of the Honors College and IGP. I have always taken my academics seriously, and I am always one to push myself to personal intellectual limits. However, I know that taking care of your mental health is important in school. I hope as a tutor I can help to relieve...

...of Kansas, in Lawrence, Kansas, pursuing the majors of Biology and Psychology. I love to help others learn new material in fun and diverse ways. Adapting to each individual's needs depending on their learning style is the key to overall success. My tutoring experiences in all subjects have been extremely rewarding. One-on-one tutoring is advantageous in the fact that a student can really grasp the material lost in a large classroom setting. Some students do...

...in Public Health with an undergraduate degree in general sciences (i.e. Pre-Med) and masters in Biosecurity and Disaster Preparedness as well as in Biology. I decided to tutor because when I was an undergraduate I often struggled in my classes 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...

...taken. Working with him in unique hands-on exercises related to learning concepts helped cement a lot more information and made learning fun for him. Learning and teaching then became fun for me, and has continued to be something I try to do even as a graduate. I was a teaching assistant in the class and in the laboratory for two and half years at Pacific University in several disciplines in the natural sciences. I consider...

...experience teaching began my junior year of high school when I started student teaching in the elementary music program. I have taught microbiology labs at Texas State as an instructional assistant and will be teaching freshman anatomy at the university of Indianapolis this year. These experiences have given me an appreciation and love of teaching. They have also taught me techniques for getting through to students who may not immediately grasp concepts. I think that...

...that I do not wish to instruct students as if they were in a class, but by putting it in terms that would resonate most with them.

I look forward to working with your child, and will hopefully hear from you...

...to make material easy for students to relate to and understand. I have done this by relating the material to real-life situations so students can make comparisons between content and things they can see everyday. My main focus is math and science, so my methods of teaching truly help students when much of what we go over in the course may not be visible to the naked eye. I am currently a teacher of Chemistry...

...used to attend medical school but had a change of heart in my career path. Part of this was due to my political science major (double major with biology) in college as well as a number of Spanish and other courses that I took.
