Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving Chapel Hill, NC

...enjoy it. Education has opened up so many doors for me, and this is largely because I was fortunate to have some amazing teachers growing up who made learning fun (or at the very least not miserable). My goal is to do the same for each one of the students who I work with, and find ways to make even the most abstract concepts or complex math problems "click" in a student's mind.... Individualization is key....

...school graduate currently taking a research year. I used to tutor with Varsity Tutors before matriculating into medical school, and coming back to assist my fellow medical professionals with USMLE tutoring feels like somewhat of a homecoming. During my time with students, I feel like patience is one of the most important things when trying to get through to a student, and coincidentally, my name means 'patience is good' in my native language. I look...

...at Chapel Hill, Masters in Business Administration from Pfeiffer University, and am currently working on a second Bachelors of Science in Nursing at Lenoir-Rhyne University. I completely understand the pressures of maintaining good grades with extracurricular activities, trying to stay competitive for college or graduate school, and even having to study within time-constraints from having to juggle a full-time job. I know first-hand how demoralizing making sub-par grades can be, but also the triumph of...

...love science and math. I have found that I have a knack for explaining things. I am a good listener and I have a lots of patience. I have taught varied age groups ranging from elementary to graduate level. I also feel that I am a very good mentor. I have been through and understand the application system for college, medical, and graduates schools (including international schools.) I have mentored and continue to mentor several...

...approach of teaching This method would help enable each of them to learn and understand the concepts rather than just memorize. While attending undergraduate and graduate school at the University of Missouri, I worked as a TA in a Medical Microbiology and immunology lab, this experience has exposed me to teach a group rather than individuals at once. It lead me to implement methods of active learning to ensure that the content presented was understood...

...and my experience has taught me that "studying harder" is not always the answer. With each student, I focus first on organization: what we need to cover and a timeline to get to their goal. I'm a physician assistant student at Duke and hope to become a clinic director some day. In spare time outside of school , I write, play music, and kick it with friends. Most recently, I spent about a year in...

...math, physiology, and writing. I love teaching! I am a registered college science tutor at USC, and I also teach younger students at a weekly Girl Scout program in Watts. In high school, I tutored for the SAT as well as teaching swimming lessons for over four years, so I am very confident in my ability to make complicated topics understandable. My favorite area is standardized testing. I love the look on a student's face...

...the University of Montana with a degree in Ecology and Organismal Biology. I believe that hard work, curiosity and an open mind are the keys to lifelong learning. Often the journey to academic success is not a solo one, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share what I know in a way that inspires and educates students. My passion for education stems from a desire to become more aware of the world around...

I'm a pre-health student at the University of Pennsylvania, and have an extensive background in the sciences. I can also rock the SATs and MCAT, so I've got that going for me. I love learning with students and trying to make the tedious work of learning as fun as possible. I think and teach in examples and make abstract concepts easily understandable. I also love sports, adventures, travelling!... My teaching philosophy is to teach in a...

...they have provided, and the confidence that patients have in me is a great inspiration to become a doctor. I can not count all of the patients who have said that I will be a great doctor; some patients tell me this every time they see me. I remember a discussion with a patient who was a retired dentist. He had decided to pursue dental school instead of medical school because he was interested in...

...school admissions processes, having participated in admissions decisions for the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy itself. I can help you navigate the stressful endeavor that is the college/graduate school application cycle. My private tutoring services include, among other things, proofreading college admissions essays, making sure the final product is leaves a positive lasting impression. With my assistance, one could not be more prepared to help land the college of his/her dreams! My services also...

...creativity at work. I have provided music lessons and academic help on a professional and a peer-to-peer basis, as time permitted, for the last eight years. My experience includes mentoring for the JCOC Kids Club program and the U. of Okla. K20 college-bound program, presenting Brain Awareness exhibits as a member of the Society for Neuroscience, and assistant coaching a high school Mock Trial team. Tutoring goes best when the student is motivated, and I...

...talking about biology! I am currently in a Physician Assistant program at University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth and am loving every minute of clinical practice! I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Philosophy from University of St Thomas. While an undergraduate student, I enjoyed leading fellow pre-health professional classmates as campus President of HOSA-Future Health Professionals. One of my most unforgettable health care experiences was...

...to pursue their dreams as well. I have experience working with students of various ages in a wide range of subjects. I especially enjoy teaching biology, writing, and test preparation. My tutoring philosophy is to blend education with inspiration. I believe a great tutor not only teaches the material, but also helps students to become more effective learners. I often provide real-world examples to help students get excited about concepts. Also, I use practice problems...

...sessions for 300 people in a lecture hall. I primarily tutor MCAT, SAT, and the SAT. In my experience, rather than the Tutor being an all-knowing power who lectures on the information, the most beneficial environment for the student is one that feels like a conversation. By creating a dynamic atmosphere between Tutor and student, the student will be able to truly understand the material. Constant collaboration is the key to a student's success and...

...immunology, histology and embryology. After completion of my degree, I continued to tutor master students in biochemistry and anatomy. I love to teach using visual aids, quizzes and unique and fun mnemonics/techniques that will make sure you never forget the information you learn. After I receive the class notes and requirements from the student, I prepare an outline and a powerpoint for our session. During our session, I will go through the material and explain,...

...for success to any pre-student willing to learn them. I have been a teaching assistant for both General Chemistry I and II for two semesters each and have taught CPR, AED, First Aid to Salt Lake City Citizens. I have always enjoyed teaching, specifically being able to teach one-on-one. Connecting with students, making them feel comfortable to express concerns, and then being able to pinpoint and fix the issue that is stopping them from achieving...

...might feel a little more challenging. Working as a tutor for biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and neuroscience, I actively implemented this philosophy, finding creative ways to approach complex concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the...

...for over two years. I used to also give one-on-one tutoring sessions on the same areas. I believe learning methods should be individualized depending on each and every student. I try to build 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 have many teaching strategies that I tend to implement in my tutoring sessions, and they have proved effective during my teaching career. I choose to interact with the family of the student and continually update them on the status of their student, as I believe that the family plays a crucial role as well as the tutor himself. Also, I approach my students in a very friendly way to eliminate any discomfort or stress...
