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...

As an undergrad at the University of Minnesota, I was a Biochemistry Teaching Assistant. In that position I helped students in a one-on-one basis as well as ran pre-exam review sessions. I worked as a Lab Assistant in a Genetics Lab throughout my undergrad education. Since graduating, my focus has been in Molecular Biology and infectious disease.... Laid back. Let the student work through the problem and guide them so they come up with the answers themselves.

...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...
