Award-Winning Microbiology Tutors in Hoboken, NJ

I graduated in Spring 2012 from Skidmore College with honors in Molecular Biology and Genetics. I served as team captain and goaltender for the varsity ice hockey team and was a pre-medical student. Currently, I work as a research scientist at The Mount Sinai Hospital studying pediatric immunology and biochemistry. I will be conducting research until I begin medical school in Fall 2013. I have over four years of tutoring experience including a teacher's assistant...

...I work hard to make Biology come alive. Through online videos with commentary, interesting reading, and interactive application of information, my students see mechanisms, listen to explanations, and use the information to solve forensic and medical cases that I've created. For those who don't love Biology as much as I do, studying processes such as mitosis may seem tedious, but it doesn't have to be. I make sure to relate microscopic phenomena, such as mitosis,...

I am a graduate of Drexel University College of Medicine where I received my Masters of Science in Forensic Science with a concentration in Molecular Biology. I received my Bachelors of Science at The University of Hartford where I majored in Biological Health Science. I have worked as a Private Tutor preparing students for their MCAT exam with Examcrackers. As a private tutor with EKC (Every Kid Counts Readiness and Enrichment...... During a first session, I would spend the first 5-7 minutes getting to know one another. How they feel they learn best and how they study to establish a tutoring and working style that is best suited for the student. We would discuss what they believe their strengths and weakness to be and how they are currently doing overall. We would discuss and establish a goal for the week and a goal for the end of the year or the exam (if this were a school aged student, I would speak with the student alone, as well as with the parent and student). We would then work on practice problems and/or questions followed by reviewing them. The last 3 mins of the session, we would discuss how they felt, if there was anything they really liked or disliked, and if there was anything that they wanted to specifically work on next session (if this is a school aged student, I would speak with them and also speak with both parent and student).

...in the subject being studied and work with them on areas of trouble. I simplify ideas as much as possible and correlate them to real life scenarios whenever possible to help students consolidate their learning. I also help students develop mnemonic techniques to help them remember particularly difficult concepts. Outside of academia, I enjoy reading poetry and scientific magazines such as MIT Tech Review and Popular Science. I also play the piano and play some...

As a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, I have years of experiences teaching undergraduates in the class room and conducting research in the laboratory. While obtaining my Ph.D. I became well versed in breaking down the complex subject material found in biology courses and presenting it to my students in a clear and understandable manner. Biology is more a story than memorizing a long list of facts, and as a Biology "story teller", my students retain more...

...in a unique manner and try to make it as fun as possible, while staying on the subject at all times. I try to make education a simple and uncomplicated process in a world of distractions. Doing this has been very gratifying. In my spare time, I like to watch and play soccer, work out at the gym and watch movies. I am a huge superhero movie fan. I also love to visit museums and...

...systems in Honduras and Uganda. After earning a Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering with minors in Biochemical Engineering and Psychology from Northeastern University, I worked full time in the biological pharmaceutical industry producing therapeutics for Clinical Trials. I have always had a passion for tutoring and mentoring students in subjects like Chemistry, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Design. I feel receiving good grades is important however, I am a avid believer in truly comprehending the...

...to tutor in are Biology and Environmental Science, since I love sharing my interest in the science and using it to help students better understand and enjoy these exciting fields. My teaching philosophy is best summarized as "show not tell" -- I find that guiding students such that they can arrive at the answers themselves, rather than just explaining the problem, helps them fully realize their potential for success. When I'm not learning or teaching,...

I am a recent graduate of NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering with a Bachelor's degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. I became a tutor because I enjoy helping people and getting to see them make progress. As a former competitive dancer and dancing coach, my greatest moments of joy were seeing my teammates improve in their performance and confidence as a result of my coaching. It was not always easy, but I never gave up...

...give and take. I think I excel at giving students new ways to think about certain problems which may give them a better understanding of the material. I don't feel like it has been a productive session unless I come away having learned something as well. In my spare time, I am an avid sports fan and a seasoned fantasy sports player. I also enjoy reading and spending time at the beach in the summer.
