Medical Terminology Tutoring FAQ
Approaching the field of medicine can be hugely intimidating. Many students find it overwhelming to process the diversity of new terms, jargon, and unfamiliar language common in the field. Students are expected to, seemingly overnight, become familiar with and use these concepts. In fact, in many ways, learning medicine is like learning another language. Repetition, diligent study, and application are the keys to success in mastering medical terminology. A frequently overlooked aspect of learning medical terminology, however, is the importance of context. Simply trying to memorize a list of medical terms and their meanings is a recipe for disaster for many students. Instead, it is often much more efficient to apply the terminology that you are learning to tangible things. For example, you can simply memorize a list of the names of the nerves in the foot, but it can be much easier to retain this information if you see pictures of the structures and have some appreciation for their function.
As a medical student, you have a lot of material to absorb in a short amount of time. Rather than struggle to memorize medical terminology alongside trying to understand and apply other material covered, seek the help of a private tutor to guide you along the way. By contacting Varsity Tutors, you can receive help finding an experienced tutor who is knowledgeable in medical terminology, as well as its application. These tutors have mastered the content needed to excel in any medical terminology course or study, and many medical terminology tutors work in related fields full time. They can show you how to learn the material most efficiently and give you the entire context you need to maximize long-term retention.
Are you currently being challenged in a class on medical terminology? Perhaps you are taking another course, where your background in medical terminology is not providing you the foundation you need to excel. Maybe you are beginning a research endeavor in a laboratory or clinic that requires you to converse effectively about medical practices. No matter what your situation, medical terminology tutoring can help you in your academic and professional life. In fact, in working with an instructor, you have the flexibility to maximize your efficiency by focusing on just the content that you find difficult. For this reason, private lessons are one of the most efficient ways to supplement classroom-based learning.
When you choose to work with a private tutor, you benefit from studying in a manner that is convenient for you. Your instructor is aware of how busy your degree program is and they are happy to hold lessons at a time that best suits you. Furthermore, you can choose where you would like to study, and are encouraged to pick a location that is a comfortable learning environment. Whether you want to study in the your own home or dorm room, at your favorite coffee shop, or in the school library, your tutor is happy to oblige. Also, if you can't attend in-person lessons, simply ask your tutor to conduct sessions over the internet. They are happy to accommodate you.
Don't waste time in trying to receive personal help in group study sessions or reviewing material you already know using questionable online resources. Your tutor can help you make the most of every hour of tutoring, so that you can still meet the many other obligations busy students have in their lives. Contact Varsity Tutors' educational directors in your area today, and let us help you connect with a medical terminology tutor that will help you to achieve your goals, which you will be one step closer to doing by mastering medical terminology.

Recent Medical Terminology Tutoring Session Notes
This is actually for a 30 minute session to wrap up the student's hours. I absolutely loved working with her and her family. They were so sweet, and the student made amazing strides in the past few months. Her confidence has grown, and she seems to have a much better grasp of grammar and sentence structure!
The student continues to work on finding appropriate sources for her research paper. She was able to find several new articles online which discuss her paper topic in detail. We read through them and selected quotes for her to use in her paper.
We reviewed the student's most recent practice test, focusing on the more difficult math questions in Test 5. We also worked on outlines for the sample essays. I emphasized the importance of using specific examples to support her theses, rather than vague aphorisms or general principles. We also worked on vocabulary. We have one more meeting scheduled before her test, and we will try to go over a final practice test, as well as do more practice at outlining essays.
The student re-worked the practice test on reading comprehension and verbal reasoning. He did very well this time. He showed this time that he has the potential to make high marks on the ISEE test. He created a rough draft of his initial essay. He re-wrote the essay the last 17 min of the session. Next session he will complete the quantitative reasoning and mathematical achievement of the test.
The student expressed some concern about the essay section, so most of today was devoted to scaffolding the proper process for the writing sample. Referring back to the basic outline format we had worked out earlier, I took him through a sample essay. First we examined how to read the prompt and devise a response that he could write about in detail. We also talked a bit about "being your own thesaurus," and varying word choice to make the essay more agreeable to the grader. We ended the session with some more brief vocabulary work; the student's reading comprehension is excellent, but I recommended more independent examination of his prep book to shore up vocab blind spots.
We reviewed chapter 8.1 through 8.4, which covers right triangles and trigonometry. We started by reviewing right triangles, the similarities in right triangles, and solving problems using this theorem. Other topics covered in this section were finding geometric means. We also reviewed the trigonometric ratios and solved problems using these. She was able to answer all the questions we reviewed in the workbook she had as well as other questions that I picked from the book. I feel that she has a good grasp of these concepts thus far and she should do well on her upcoming test.
