Award-Winning MCAT Tutors in Aurora, CO

...quantitative section. I believe in personalizing tutoring sessions and setting goals achievable together. I know every student doesn't love math or chemistry as I do, so I make sure to include games, flashcards and learning tools to keep sessions fun as well. I also enjoy helping students develop test taking strategies that utilize their skills and natural tendencies. On my own time, I love soccer, snowboarding, anything outdoors or athletic, painting, cooking and playing guitar.

...Chemical Engineering. I've been tutoring and teaching in various environments since I was in high school. I focus on math and science, from basic arithmetic to college level Calculus, Physics, and Engineering. My favorite subject to teach is Physics because I believe it provides a real world application of math that allows for a deeper understanding of both subjects. In addition to academic tutoring I have also instructed skiing, surfing, hang gliding, snorkeling, sailing, and...

...and Georgetown University. I recently went to Washington, DC, where I got a Master's in Physiology and Biophysics, and am planning to enter the medical field. I'm very passionate about medicine and education, and believe that the best way to learn is by teaching others. I also have three years of experience as a Teaching Assistant in General Biology, Human Physiology, and General Chemistry. My favorite subject is Organic Chemistry, and I'm more than happy...

...particularly uncommon to find me with 40 tabs opened to anything arguably related to my latest plan for becoming an expat and, subsequently, discover some secret corner of the world. Previously, I have volunteered in stables to break wild mustangs and tame abused horses; supervised and answered for the National Suicide Prevention Hotline; sorted and assembled meal-boxes for food pantries; and assisted teachers in low-come elementary schools - concerns, interests, and experiences I hope to...

...they do. There is a rhetorical question that reflects this idea: "How do I know what I think until I see what I say?" As a teacher, I think my role is to help learners recognize what they already know and to identify what they still need to figure out. So I ask lots of questions. Asking students questions not only helps me understand how students learn, what they already know, and what they need...

...challenges mean and have figured out what techniques work best with each person's learning style. -I get to tell nerdy jokes ("Two atoms were walking down the street when one of them said, 'Oh no! I just lost an electron!' The other atom turned to the first and said, 'are you sure?' and he replied, 'I'm positive!' ") to help students better understand their work. These are jokes which I find personally amusing AND I...

...will help the student understand the concepts and how to approach problems without feeling overwhelmed. There are two ways we can approach this, we can start by looking at the syllabus for the student’s course and following a lesson based on the syllabus or I can come up with our lesson plans by assigning challenging homework to enhance the students learning. I am also willing to provide a periodic assessments and progress reports. I can...

...WashU in St. Louis with a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry. I've been admitted to medical school at the University of Pennsylvania (Perelman School of Medicine class of 2021!) but I am currently here in Colorado enjoying a gap year. I am thrilled to explore my passion for teaching math and science with Varsity Tutors! My first teaching experiences were during undergrad where I was a teaching assistant and a tutor for a few biology and...

The best way for me to teach you is to see what you already know. You'll try things on your own to start, then I'll jump in and help fill in the holes. Tutors and teachers are great ways to learn, but the best thing we can do is show you how to teach yourself!... Students learn best by doing. As a tutor, I emphasize practice, practice, practice. If you can do something once while being walked through it, great! If you can do it a tenth time without needing any help, that's my goal. I will work with you every step of the way until you get there.

I have several years of tutoring experience in the life sciences including biology, biochemistry, anatomy and physiology at the high school and undergraduate level. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Sports & Exercise Sciences from the University of Northern Colorado and a Master's Degree in Biomedical Sciences from Regis University.
