Award-Winning Microbiology Tutors in Washington DC

...to stay engaged and focused. I have an encouraging presence as a teacher and think that this goes a long way in helping students learn. I have taken, and done well on, a variety of standardized tests and have come to understand universal and recurring concepts for testing. I am currently pursuing a Masters in Neuroscience and Education to inform my teaching with new insights about the brain. There is diversity in my coursework, teaching...

...in plants, which gives me a solid background to help with coursework related to Genetics. Since graduating, I've worked in a number of Molecular Biology and infectious disease labs and I've earned my MPH in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from Johns Hopkins. I have continued to tutor students in my free time over the years. I really enjoy working with students and figuring out how to explain the material in a way that helps the material...

...other areas, such as Math and Chemistry. As a graduate student, I instructed an undergraduate general biology lab, and I offered tutoring assistance to my students outside of class. I enjoyed my teaching experience, and I received favorable reviews from my students. I feel very fortunate to have been offered some outstanding educational opportunities throughout my career, and I am eager to help students succeed in attaining their own opportunities. In my free time, I...

...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 the best way to complement this...

...fellowship on cancer at a research institute there. I was then hired as a lecturer at public and private Universities teaching Biochemistry, General Chemistry, Molecular Biology and General Biology for college students. I can also teach Genetics, Cell Biology, Microbiology as well as Physical Science. My favorite subjects, however, are Biochemistry, General Biology and Genetics as those were the subjects I have been teaching the longest. Two years after becoming a tenured Associate Professor of...

...Johns Hopkins University. Last fall, I was a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University, teaching the freshman only seminar "The Human Microbiome". This course was a modified version of the course I taught as a Dean's Teaching Fellow. I have also been a teaching assistant for various other courses, including Biochemistry, the freshman only lab course Phage Hunters, and others. I have tutored for graduate level biophysics, and been involved with teaching or tutoring for the...

...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 alive for students. I have successfully...

I am 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...... I seek to find what motivates a student in other aspects of their life, and apply that to their studies.... A first session typically consists of getting to know one another: the learning style of the student, what motivates him or her and how much background knowledge he or she has on the subject.

...has led me to remain a university professor on this subject matter. I have trained many undergraduate and postgraduate students. I am also the founder and director of an in-service training center in my university. I understand the importance of continuous learning and have updated myself on the basic sciences of medicine including the details of human anatomy and physiology in the last five months, since I left my university post and came to the...

...I have tutored other subjects as well including biology, physiology, and chemistry to name a few. Having won several science awards, I know lots of fun facts to share with my tutees. During my tutoring sessions, I make subjects applicable by giving real life examples. I am also strong believer in interactive lessons, by asking lots of questions and solving problems together. I like to tailor lessons according to individual needs. Look forward to helping...
