Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving Alexandria, VA

...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 worked with elementary, middle school, and high 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 a similar predicament and therefore can better tutor them. As I mentioned before, I just finished medical school and I'm...

I am also very familiar with the MCAT. I am a nice and...

...different for everyone, and challenging them and tackling them head on is a sure fire way to grow intellectually. Being an effective questioner and an astute observer of the unknown is a life-long task, and through hard work and focus, I believe anyone can grow into a stronger thinker and a more effective student. I also think science is very fun, and the best way to improve in a subject that may be difficult is...

...high school I tutored younger students in biology and Spanish through a Spanish National Honor Society. After my freshmen year in college, I spent a summer abroad in Lebanon and tutored Lebanese students in Math, English, and SAT as they prepared to apply to American universities. During my undergraduate sophomore year, I tutored college-level chemistry and was a Teaching Assistant (TA) for a biology course. The summer after that I gained more experience tutoring middle/high...

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.

...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 my passion with you.

...their instructor is able to meet them where they are. I enjoy helping students identify their strengths, which not only helps me tailor my sessions to their specific needs, but also provides encouragement for learners who may feel disengaged or dispirited. Often times, this means that we not only work on learning specific subjects, but also improving study and organizational skills. When I'm not at school or working, I enjoy skiing, reading, camping, and hanging...

...others learn! I am a graduate from Lake Erie College, with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Chemistry.

I have worked in Laboratory settings since graduation and have real world applicable knowledge of Biology. I LOVE teaching and cannot wait to help others learn and excel in their science classes...

...each lesson, providing check points along the lesson to ensure understanding, and explaining a subject in more than one way. I also summarize the lesson at the end and provide learning pearls as well as mnemonics to make it easier for my students to grasp the concepts. I also like to see how a student approaches a given problem before I can guide them into the right direction. My hobbies include sports and fitness, music,...

...fun, useless information that interests us the most, but most fail to realize how much 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...

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!

...Caribbean. I have done medical aid work in both Nicaragua and Haiti. My teaching experiences outside of academic instruction include 8 years of teaching Kenpo Karate, several years of swimming instruction for noncompetitive swimmers and triathletes, and four years training college and graduate students at annual disaster response training exercises for the Consortium for Humanitarian Service and Education. I apparently aspire to have a resume similar to The-Most-Interesting-Man-In-The-World's. As a teacher, I try to "guide...

...significance to other researchers. During my time at Georgetown University School of Medicine, I also worked as a lecture note taker for ten months, where I reorganized, reworded, and supplemented lecture notes for fellow graduate students. I answered classmates' questions on the topics, compiled study guides, and was commended for my ability to make otherwise difficult concepts easy to understand. At University of California - Los Angeles, I organized and led many study sessions; and...

...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 you achieve your academic goals.

...a wide range 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.

As a tutor, I believe that learning can be fun and enjoyable. I love...

...high school students in the past, and have focused on the sciences. However, I find 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...
