Award-Winning Microbiology Tutors in Baltimore, MD

...ways. I tailor my tutoring to fit the learning style of the student. I think that is really important because it is very hard for a visual learner to learn from just listening. I also engage the student in learning. For example, having them label a diagram that I have just talked about. Most important -I encourage my students to ask questions, make comments, even disagree with me. I like making math and science come...

...position, I am the lead Microbiologist in a USDA-funded project which examines the safety of pre-harvest produce in organic agricultural environments. In the position, I also train and mentor numerous undergraduate students in Microbiology, lab protocol and food safety. I will tutor in Biology, Life Science and Science, however I am very passionate about Microbiology. In my experience, each student is unique and no one person has the same learning style, so it is important...

...I currently tutor Chemistry, Biology, the Verbal section of the SAT, and Math up to Algebra 2. I especially enjoy tutoring the sciences, as I find them endlessly fascinating, and love sharing my enjoyment of them. I teach from the ground up, putting complex ideas into simple, understandable terms, and I love answering the question 'why?' Outside of my academic pursuits, I play guitar and sing, and I have a passion for pretty much all...

...span of my education I have had the opportunity to complete research internships at Yale University, The Ohio State University and the National Institute of Health, as well as be awarded two research Fellowships. I have an enormous passion for Biology, Chemistry, Math and History. As a tutor, I have helped many students at the K-12 and undergraduate levels, and take the most pride in seeing my students improve their grades and begin to appreciate...

...honestly one of the more "fun" parts of my application. It was great to see how my students could eventually come around to seeing standardized tests as a puzzle, rather than a chore. I've since spent several semesters as an Introductory Chemistry TA during my undergrad at Amherst College, where I majored in Biochemistry and Biophysics, magna cum laude. I'm also pre-med; I'm applying to medical schools now, for matriculation in the fall of 2014....

...an enthusiastic, outgoing student who values organization and detail. I received an IB diploma upon high school completion and BS in Biology from Colorado State University in 2011. I am currently enrolled in a paramedic certification program in the DC area. I volunteered as a tutor in college working with students from kindergarten to high school seniors. I am excited to help students understand confusing ideas and subjects. Knowledge is power and learning can be...

...with the natural world which led me to study science - the kid in me is what helps me connect with children. I place an emphasis on giving each child the tools they need to figure things out for themselves, especially for math and hard sciences such as chemistry. When students learn the correct way to approach problems, they learn not only their subject, but they learn "how to learn". Learning technical subjects need not...

...also have worked tutoring pre-medical and pre-pharmacy students in all of the prerequisite science courses for their respective school. I have found that the best way to tutor a student is to address each students needs and gain an understanding of their unique thought process; nobody solves a problem the exact same way. With many educational institutions adapting a philosophy of "teaching to the test" rather than an understanding, I feel an individualistic approach is...

...of Medicine, I also worked as a lecture note taker for ten months, where I reorganized, reworded, and supplemented lecture notes for fellow graduate students. I answered classmates' questions on the topics, compiled study guides, and was commended for my ability to make otherwise difficult concepts easy to understand. At University of California - Los Angeles, I organized and led many study sessions; and in high school, I tutored younger students in Mathematics, English, foreign...

...a recent graduate of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst where I tutored college students in various science subjects for two semesters. I have a passion for biology and chemistry that has led me to work in labs at both the University of Massachusetts and the University of Maryland. I firmly believe that the best use of knowledge is to spread to those who wish to learn and I seek to demonstrate this belief in my...
