Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving Alexandria, VA

...spend time with my friends. I have previous short-term teaching experience in Peru and Spain, and am near-fluent in Spanish. I believe in the power of positive thinking, hard work, and self-confidence. I also believe that practice makes perfect: putting theory into practice is the best way to become comfortable with new material, so when tutoring I try to incorporate practice problems as much as possible. If you're looking for help with Spanish, English, social...

...as a qualified tutor in all maths up to pre-calculus. After a couple years of tutoring and 3 years teaching Math in public schools, I found my favorite subject to teach is Algebra. I've helped students make progress in their grades and have worked to identify and evaluate targeted skills. I fully understand the subject and always show a variety of ways to reach a solution. I identify weaknesses and help build on them. I...

...on what already exist. I try to assess what my students already understand about the subject matter and try to relate the new and difficult concepts based on that. I also use different examples, diagrams and role plays to make things easier. I encourage interactive learning styles. I enjoy tutoring and love to see my student make it through their exams and become successful. I am very dedicated to see all my students reach to...

...medical school. I tutor mainly the sciences, along with English/writing, and Psychology. My favorite subject to tutor is Physiology because that is a discipline that is currently a part of my everyday life, and I would love to impart it onto other people and find different ways to teach it that way I can explain it better to my patients. My tutoring style is similar to the doctor-patient relationship: being patient, explaining concepts in basic...

...to think critically, more so than their other classes during high school. I also taught at a science camp for children K-8. When I teach, I tend to use various materials, including images, diagrams, videos and music. All of these help a student learn by integrating sensory modalities in ways that helps them remember, and more importantly, understand, study material. I focus on how the child learns best, and then go from there in how...

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.

...grasp the material as well. Having completed most upper level science and math coursework, in addition to my medical school courses, I know just how hard they can be and they certainly did not come to me naturally. I had to work extremely hard to grasp many of the concepts but I eventually came up with strategies to tackle the material. Having struggled myself, I honestly feel I can relate better to other students in...

...As a tutor of anatomy and physiology, I want the students to not just know or memorize the material; I want them to understand it. It is easy to memorize material for a test, "spew" it out on paper, and forget it after that. Students are in this class because they, usually, want to go into a field that requires the knowledge of anatomy and physiology. It is my job to inspire and incite students...

...taught lab techniques while doing fellowship at the NIH to summer students and thoroughly enjoyed it. My students loved the way I explained things to them in detail and also the fact that I pushed them to being independent but being there for them when needed. I obviously do not have a strong tutoring experience, but I know I have a penchant for the biological sciences and skills in reading and writing, which would allow...

...a degree in Biology and two minors in Spanish and International Area Studies. I am currently working at the NIH. I have experience tutoring college, high school, and middle school students. During tutoring sessions I like to pinpoint where the problem areas are and begin by working with students on the fundamentals. Once the basics are covered I like to work through problems together as a way to learn material, but ask that students spend...

...University, and an extensive career in the fitness/yoga industry for 20 plus years, Teaching and tutoring Anatomy & Physiology as well as Biology has been a blessing to have an impact on students to pursue their educational and career goals. I also have experience working with students with ADHD and Asperger's. Varsity Tutors is THE best at providing professional tutoring for reaching student goals and dreams. 2020 has obviously changed the dynamics of students to...

...power those known memories have on our potential to make new ones. One of the techniques that I teach my students is how to use that everyday “useless" trivia, and apply it to what they NEED to remember. I have a wealth of knowledge that I would love to share with my students, especially about the sciences. But, at the end of the day, I want to see my students succeed and be self-sufficient so that...

...I earned a Master of Science degree from the University of California San Francisco where I became a registered nurse, nurse-midwife, and women's health nurse practitioner. I am passionate about teaching and education, and while I am no longer in the classroom full time, I find that the education and counseling I provide to my patients is still the most fulfilling part of my work. I believe personalization, trust, and respect are the most important...

...get to know my students and tailor my style to their needs, whether that be more visual learning, tons of practice problems or a more auditory approach. After all I'm here to suit YOUR needs, so I'm very flexible in my teaching style. Science sometimes gets a bad rap which is a shame! But I try to present it in new ways and make it as interactive and fun as possible. Looking forward to sharing...

...tailor my tutoring to their individual wants and needs. For the first two years, I worked as a GED tutor at Lorain County JVS where I tutored disadvantaged adults and teenagers in math and reading skills required for proficiency on the GED test. I ran independent workshops for advanced students. I also worked one-on-one with the students who required the most individualized attention. During my last two years of college I worked as a Teachers...

...C of I's Academic Support Center while enrolled there, and helped many students with biology, math, chemistry, and writing homework and exam prep. More recently, I served a a teaching assistant for a graduate-level molecular genetics course at Einstein. While my master's has pulled me to the "dark side" of science (i.e. chemistry), I have a special fondness for helping others succeed in biology, particularly subjects like genetics and physiology. My tutoring style is to...

...that I can relate to and communicate with students of all ages, and am capable of teaching more than just the sciences. In the past, I have taught students effective homework and test-taking skills. I also understand how to simplify complex ideas that might be difficult to grasp at first. Finally, I know how important it is for a student to remain motivated throughout this process, so I make sure to encourage all of my...
