Oxford Molecular Genetics Tutoring FAQ
Molecular genetics is the study of genetics from a molecular biology perspective. Despite this simply stated objective, this growing field is a complex one that is full of a lot of information that you must master. If you find yourself struggling to stay current with the material covered in class, don't worry; you're not the only student who might have concerns. Perhaps you easily conquered Mendelian concepts like Punnett squares and recessive inheritance. Maybe you even excelled at the tricky math involved with the Hardy-Weinberg principle, or perhaps you're new to all forms of genetics. Regardless of your situation, molecular genetics tutoring can help you reach your educational goals and develop a better understanding of the content.
Whether you're anxious to memorize the structures of adenine and uracil, curious about laboratory techniques, or just looking to ace your final exams, a talented instructor can help you achieve your goals. We can help you connect with a compatible instructor in your area. You're likely concerned about the experience level of your potential tutor. After all, when dealing with an advanced science topic you will want to know that your tutor has both the knowledge and communication ability to make the material accessible to you. Your private tutor is able to help put your worries to rest and get you on track toward success.
When you contact Varsity Tutors, you will receive help connecting with an experienced tutor from a network of master's degree students and biology graduates from elite colleges nationwide. Best of all, every instructor uses an individualized approach. Unlike your genetics professor, who might lecture to dozens of students in an enormous classroom, your private tutor will be able to focus on you alone. If you want to schedule an extra session before your transcription midterm, your tutor will be happy to oblige. If you're considering applying for a lab position to get extra experience, your instructor can spend a few hours shoring up your knowledge of PCR and gel electrophoresis. With a talented tutor as your personal information source, you'll always know what to study. You can count on your tutor for exceptional molecular genetics help.
College-level science tutoring is a great investment. One of the biggest benefits of supplementing your classroom learning with private lessons is convenience. Your tutor understands that you have a busy schedule, and rather than sacrifice important time away from your work or other studies, they are happy to meet at a time that is ideal for you. Unlike some tutoring options, your tutor will not require you to travel to his or her location. Instead, your tutor can come to you, or hold face-to-face sessions online using our live learning platform. Whether you prefer to meet at a college library, dorm building, or online, your instructor will make every effort to oblige. Finally, all of your sessions can take place at the time and frequency of your choice, ensuring that you get the right amount of assistance needed to tackle difficult material.

The student and I did our last assessment test review session. I feel that he is ready for the exam. I gave him a PowerPoint review which he will study up until the exam.
This was a review for the student's final exam. We reviewed concepts of evolution, speciation and plant reproduction. I think she will do very well in her final, and was extremely happy to hear that she got an A on her exam last week!
The student will be having a test on all of the body systems she's studied, so we reviewed the circulatory, respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems. Each section had a small lecture dedicated to it, and then we did a little bit of verbal quiz to really test her understanding. I think she really understands the majority of the biology. She was already very solid in the digestive and reproductive systems, but I think we made really great strides in the circulatory and respiratory systems. Next session we'll continue to go over the skeletal system.
The student and I began to work on review for his upcoming state test in biology. We started off with content review by going over some of his weak topics and spending extra time going over each concept carefully so that he understood how to apply the knowledge. We also worked on one of his recent homework assignments and made sure to go through each question in a way where he understood the concepts being tested.
Today was focused on biology and the student's anatomy module. He had online quizzes to complete as well as dissection simulations. I was there mostly to help him explain since his teacher hasn't yet lectured on the topic. The assignments covered mostly the renal system and digestive system. We will be reviewing the material during our next session, along with whatever else he may need help with.
We discussed strategies for designing a gameboard for the student's biology project. We began developing a set of questions for the gameboard, incorporating concepts from cell structure and function, cell energy, and cell theory, among various concepts.
