Award-Winning Microbiology Tutors in St. Louis, MO

I am a scientist with 30 years in the drug development industry, but I have a passion for teaching. I currently teach Biology and Anatomy part-time at the community college level. I think I bring a unique perspective to teaching and tutoring because I live what I teach, I use Biology concepts every day at work. I relate well to students one-on-one and love teaching!... I try to tailor my teaching style to fit the individual student, but my default is to teach using multiple examples that relate to everyday life, to help the student understand and remember key concepts.

...in their class and where the student is struggling. During the session, I will walk the student through a problem, making an effort to explain and break down the problem. I then give the student an opportunity to work through similar problems with guidance as necessary. Currently as a medical student at SLU, I've grown to appreciate this method more and more. It is important to ensure my students understand the fundamental concepts and then...

...I have an extensive and highly successful record of mentoring elementary, middle school, high school, undergraduate and graduate level students (from a career spanning over 25 years). I have taught high school students, undergraduates and graduate courses, as well as medical school coursework. I am also able to help with writing and proofreading applications, reports and essays in all fields (e.g., history, English) in addition to the biological sciences. In addition, I can help you...

...my teaching experience means that I use the things I learned in Math, Chemistry and Biology on a daily basis. My approach to tutoring and teaching is to focus on the concepts that are crucial for the students to understand the material. By concentrating on the important concepts as opposed to memorization, I have found that students in the long run perform much better on their exams. My primary areas of experience are Chemistry through...

...of Science in Health Sciences. In addition to the core curriculum for my major, I also completed all of the necessary classes to apply to medical school. This has given me a wide range of subjects that I am familiar with and comfortable tutoring, especially in biological fields such as Anatomy, Physiology and Genetics. I am originally from Omaha, Nebraska, but over the past 5 years, I have gotten to know and love the Saint...

...weeks. During this eight-week period, I taught and mentored my student to become proficient and independent in a research setting while also learning basic biological and microbiological principles. Currently, I am a postdoctoral research associate at Washington University School of Medicine. I continue to utilize concepts and techniques from biology, molecular biology, microbiology, and biochemistry to better understand the mechanisms bacteria utilize to cause human disease. Outside of the lab, I spend my time with...

I love helping people understand material that they have trouble working through on their own. Everyone learns differently and there is a way to teach everyone once you breakdown the information to its most basic concepts and build up from there. I am sure that together we can set you on the right path to understanding the subject matter at hand.

...all levels of Physics, all levels of Biology, all level of Chinese, and SAT preparation, including regular SAT test and Math, Physics, Biology, Chinese SAT subject tests. My teaching style is very test-preparation orientedbased on learning and emphasis on the most important key points in subjects. My philosophy is to first help students to familiarize with the key concepts, and then tackle each specific type of questions by techniques and all kinds of tricks. Through...

...My tutoring approach takes a hands-on style that lets students work through problems with assistance first, and then on their own. This style allows the student to become confident in his/her knowledge of the material and face new problems with that same confidence. Each student is different and I do my best to quickly learn what works best for their learning style, and cater to that specific style. Outside of academia I currently work as...

...Washington University School of Medicine is where I received a Masters degree in Immunology. Outside of the laboratory, I spent my time working again as a teacher's assistant this time for Histology, a first year course for medical students, and then privately tutoring Histology. To continue teaching, I now work as a Varsity Tutor and I love it. My goal in teaching is to make sure my students don't just pass their tests, but to...
