Award-Winning Physiology Tutors in Alexandria, VA

...high school and college, I have become skilled at breaking down and organizing complex science concepts into much simpler and manageable concepts to understand. I believe this will really help the students I tutor to learn and grasp the material. It truly brightens my day to see the excitement in students eyes when they finally understand the material after putting in the effort. However, the most satisfying aspect of tutoring for me is not just...

...recently, I taught a summer course at Georgetown in the fundamentals of medical science to high school sophomores through seniors. I understand that everyone learns differently so I tailor my lessons to my students' needs and goals. Especially in subjects like organic chemistry, where students often feel overwhelmed, I am able to use molecular models to explain concepts like stereochemistry in more visual ways than are used in traditional instruction. I am passionate about my...

...rugby in high school. I have continued to play rugby throughout college and graduate school. I attended Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania where I received my Bachelor's of Science degree in the Health Sciences major. Additionally, I have since received my Master's degree in Physiology and Biophysics from Georgetown University. I specialize in science and math, particularly biology and physiology. I am also very familiar with the MCAT. I am a nice and easy going person....

...molding the minds of medical students. I not only helped them learn but I made them feel excited about medicine. I am very knowledgeable in subjects oriented around the medical field namely anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, endocrinology among others. Teaching is a skill that must be adapted to the individual student. I also believe syllabus oriented teaching is key to covering adequate material to allow a student to test well. I have solid communication and people...

...learning and secretly want to be a student forever. I equally enjoy teaching students. My earliest tutoring experience dates back to when I was 16, where I taught my native language German. Since then, 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...

...and my Master’s degree in Applied Biology in 2013. I began teaching Anatomy and Physiology as a graduate student, and have continued since graduation. On-the-whole, I have been teaching collegiate-level Anatomy and Physiology for 3.5 years now, and am tutoring in the life sciences. I very much enjoy teaching students from different age groups and do my best to influence my students with the same enthusiasm towards science that I hold. In my spare time...

...of elementary to high school students in several subjects, and so I understand every student has their own style of learning. As a tutor, I will do my best to provide a supporting environment and create lesson plans that will assist with the students understanding of the materials. More importantly, I will encourage students to voice their ideas and ask questions to ensure that they will understand every step of the way.

I’ve been tutoring since high school, and thoroughly enjoy helping students understand material and become more passionate about learning. I graduated from Harvard College in 2010 where I majored in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. I also worked for two years doing biological research. Now, my plan is to attend graduate school next fall and to continue on working in the field of public health. I’m excited to make learning fun and interesting for my students!

With an array of experiences within the biomedical and healthcare industry, I desire to assist students in strengthening their foundation in the basic sciences that will assure them success in a science related career.

...and I know that the student understands a concept that was a mystery to them previously. I have the ability to take concepts and teach them in different 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...
