Award-Winning Genetics Tutors serving Nashville, TN

...a lab tutor for Organic Chemistry, as well as a science tutor in Belmont's Learning Center. I can tutor in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. My favorite subjects to tutor are Chemistry and Physics because I think they are foundational to understanding the upper level science courses. I want to work with students in a way that they feel confident about their ability to complete the work and understand concepts. As a tutor, I will take...

Yiyang is a young scientist specializing in genetics and genomic studies. She holds both a M.D. and a Ph.D. degree. She has a passion to use her knowledge and skills to help younger generations to learn and grow. Yiyang tutors biology-related subjects at all levels from high school to graduate school.

...high school students trained in my research laboratory in experimental science. My goal is to teach students of all ages and come up with strategies that stimulate curiosity for learning, knowledge retention, and test taking skills. Repetition, reinforcement, active student participation through stress free tests, and use of powerful tools in technology are my current approaches. Yes, I am always learning, methods on effective teaching from weak and strong students along the way.

Having spent so much time being a student, I am all too aware of the struggles that certain subjects can give to even the best of students. My path to help others in life has led me to begin working with Varsity to give any student I can the chance to overcome subjects that often do not come naturally to them.

...Broadly, I am very interested in the effects of global change, including climate change, on ecosystems around the world. Before getting my PhD, I graduated from Washington and Lee University with a B.S. degree in Biology and B.A. in Environmental Studies. I have extensive coding experience in R, and am passionate about statistics and data analyses. I love working with students, and teaching was one of my favorite components of my graduate education. I also...

...a postdoctoral associate at 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...

...graduate of Northeastern University with my Bachelor's of Science degree in Chemical Engineering. I am currently working in the lab of Professor Robert Langer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology working on novel drug delivery systems for the gastrointestinal tract. I am hoping to attend medical school in pursuit of becoming a physician. I am currently interested in pediatrics and psychiatry but I am looking forward to exploring a range of available disciplines. I enjoy...

...conceptual understanding and pattern recognition in all of my sessions, rather than "tricks" or rote memorization. These skills require practice, but they are absolutely critical to building a strong foundation for future learning. That's why I go to the effort to include background information and explain the lower levels of abstraction that so often make the difference between memorizing *facts* and learning *skills.* This focused approach enabled me to place in the 99th percentile nationwide...

...with subareas like Genetics and Molecular Biology. With my knowledge and strategies in tackling this material, I feel I can help students no matter where their trouble lies. I've worked with young and special needs students learning Math and English at Kumon Math and Reading, as well as my local ESY program. I've also mentored high school students in my local health science magnet school on college readiness and study strategies. I like to relate...

...step closer to their ultimate career goals. For me, tutoring is not only about teaching a certain subject. It is also about making sure that you have understood the core concepts related to that subject so you can apply these over and over again. I hope I get to work with you/you child and help them come one step closer to achieving their goals as well! After receiving good grades in upper division mathematics courses...
