Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving Chandler, AZ

...and Developmental Biology. I have tutored college students extensively throughout the past three years. I enjoy research and have conducted three studies, one of which was focused on the effectiveness of tutoring methods in the sciences. In my experience, learning how to study effectively can result in significant improvements, and I have extensive experience in this area both through working with students and research. As such, my goal is to help my students become more...

...a foreign language, which deeply enriched my knowledge of the variety of the French language. While completing my French degree, I also worked through a BS in Biology. Science and the scientific method have likewise inspired me and deeply influence my way of thinking, as I feel it should for almost anyone. Science, and especially biology, pushes the bounds of our understanding of life on earth and medicine. I have spent a great deal of...

...year I have been tutoring students in science subjects at ASU's tutoring center. This experience has given me a sense of which topics are particularly troubling to students, and how to best explain these topics in a way that is understandable. When I tutor, I try to make the subject as easy and approachable as possible. Sometimes science classes can seem more difficult than they actually are, and I try to help others realize this....

...of Arizona in 2011 with BS in Psychology and a minor in Spanish. I am committed to helping students to receive better grades and challenging the student to think critically. I am a very passionate tutor and will go every extra mile if it will help the student to understand a subject more effectively. I am a very fun tutor that enjoys challenging the student to do their best while integrating material in creative ways...

...very different chemistry based jobs (one that I am currently in now) since graduation in which I test drinking water and foods for a vast array of microbial agents and chemical compounds that are dangerous to the public. Using my experience in both academics, research and in my career, I have been able to tie in real world problems and solutions to students I have taught and tutored, and hope I can do the same...

...care about what you're learning, and managing the information thrown at you. Now, this is a wonderful, wonderful thing, because while I cannot make anyone 'smarter,' I can help them break information down until they understand it and show them where the subject can intersect their own passions. Would you understand The Odyssey better if we looked at Odysseus as the ancestor of Batman? That can be done. Would math make more sense to you...

...I have taught in the Gilbert Public Schools system for nine years. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Biology, Ecology, Genetics and Anatomy/Physiology. In my experience helping struggling students I have found that the best way to learn is to have fun while you are learning and to make it apply to the real world. I am a firm supporter of education, and I believe that it can...

...I have gained valuable qualities that I plan to incorporate into my teaching career. I have learned that motivating students to learn on their own as well as in class, through reward based incentives, helps them to absorb and retain the material. I often offer students extra credit questions on previously missed exam questions. This technique allows for the student to strive for more points, allows them to fix mistakes they may have already made,...

...Sciences major. While at ASU I had the opportunity to work at the Downtown Student Success Center for two years as a supplemental instructor. Most of my students were pre-med or studying to become nurses. My favorite subject to teach was Anatomy/Physiology, but I also enjoyed most math and sciences courses especially General and Organic Chemistry. In my spare time, I enjoy competing in all types of sports, reading a good book and taking a...

...I settled for Kinesiology: the study of human movement. I also took 20+ credits of chemistry and realized how awesome of a subject it also was. It is amazing how often chemistry and biology are used in our every-day lives. For this reason I love tutoring the subjects. There is no greater feeling than knowing I helped someone succeed in life, and I am lucky enough to get that satisfying feeling from tutoring. In addition...

...I believe anyone that has a problem with school or otherwise would benefit from talking to her. She helps you see that the impossible is possible." Reading these kind words is humbling and inspiring. Tutoring is an enormous responsibility as well as an honor. Learning is a two-way street. I learn as much from listening to my students and helping them find their own paths to success as they gain from my experience and passion...

...favorite subjects to tutor would have to be MCAT Biological sciences and Life Sciences. These subjects are near and dear to me as I recently (2011) took the MCAT exam for entrance into medical school and my undergraduate major was in Life Sciences. I enjoy engaging with students and helping to lead them to the correct answer and understanding of concepts through a question and answer process. Outside of school I love to hike, bike,...

...schools in the area. During the summer I coach students to enter into competitive math competitions and prepare middle school students for the SATs. I entered a program for No Child Left Behind and mentored at-risk students in various grades, mostly focused in a high school setting. My main focus is to build on independent learning and mentor students to become proactive members of the community. I founded a nonprofit organization in college called SeriousFun...

...helped me grow my leadership and tutoring skills, as well as my love of teaching. SI leaders use the challenges posed by high-risk/high-failure courses to guide undergraduates to discover, not just "what to learn," but also "how to learn." Knowing how to learn and how to obtain information is a skill demonstrated by multiple research studies to predict success in advanced classwork as well as in post-academic careers. I prepared the session plans and created...

...am currently also doing another passion of mine—coaching soccer—while I tutor and look for a good doctoral program to attend. My plans are to continue in the field of education one day as a professor of either history or education. With my vast classroom experience I am very good at assessing student needs and responding accordingly. I believe each person learns in a unique style, and it is the responsibility of the teacher/tutor to identify...
