Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving Cranston, RI

...time I took the SAT I actually wasn't satisfied with my score, so I spent 2 months working hard to get my score to where I wanted it to be. The second time I took the exam I saw a 200-point increase. Previously, I have had experience teaching the SSAT and the SAT. The student I tutored in SSAT successfully passed the exam is now attending a private high school abroad. With VarsityTutor's online learning...

...to figure out where the difficulty in learning stems from and to find creative ways to help the student learn to problem solve in the context of his or her specific subject so that he or she may bridge that gap for themselves in the future. In the past, I have been very successful in these endeavors, which has and continues to be one of the most personally rewarding things I engage in. I hope...

...the SAT, SSAT, AP Biology, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry for 2 years. I love teaching students HOW to learn, not just WHAT to learn. I always emphasize hard work - because you always get what you work for. I don't care about natural intelligence, because trying your best and being persistent is the key to learning and improvement. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the student understanding a concept for the first time.

...knowledge. We work through questions together and learn as we solve them. Though medical sciences are my focus, I have a broad knowledge base and use that base to bring science to life. From pop culture to politics, we can find common ground in order to link your everyday interests to your studies! I've worked with medical students, reviewing information with them and putting a different spin on concepts in order to make those concepts...

...experience in taking and helping others sit for standardized and college exams. I have also tutored medical school courses at Harvard Medical School. I know what it's like to encounter a difficult subject, and the frustration with having to study for a particular exam, or for a course that is uninteresting but a prerequisite, which is why I have developed methods over the years to effectively study the material while enjoying the process. Studying can...

I am a graduate student studying nursing at Simmons College. I am also a certified Emergency Medical Technician! During the time that I don't spend studying or working, I enjoy reading fiction novels. I have experience tutoring reading, writing, biology, chemistry, and German! My hope while tutoring is that I can impart some of my passion for learning to my students!

...unofficial capacity since high school. When I became an undergraduate I wanted to continue to help students, so I started a tutoring program for underclassmen who were struggling in their science courses. Outside of this, I volunteered my time to help students who were struggling in the upper level courses I was taking. I love science and medicine and I love teaching students to understand and appreciate how cool science can be. I believe that...

...physics, biology, and statistics. My teaching style targets each unique student's learning style and way of analyzing. That is my first targeted observation before I can truly begin tutoring with any true impact. I have spent the last two years out of school managing an organic farm and directing product and systems design for a farm-tech startup out of Boston. I am now working on some personal projects that I dream of one day becoming...

...be a nervous or uncomfortable feeling at first, and so I want anyone who might work with me to know that A) I think it takes definite courage to seek help for anything, and that B) if you work with me it will be a strictly uplifting experience and we will explore and learn together, and that I am personally invested in helping you build your knowledge and skills to meet your goals, whatever they...

...to share what I've learned. So, basically, I have heaps of experience teaching and tutoring students, and have always received high ratings. My students do very well on their exams! My qualifications are extensive, and include two undergraduate degrees (Zoology and Botany), and a Ph.D. in Biology from the University of California at San Diego, where I specialized in neuroscience. I have taught introductory biology, genetics, physiology, microbiology, neurobiology, botany, and zoology. In terms of...

...served as an impetus for me to continue teaching. I received a B.S. Biological Sciences for the University of Rhode Island. Afterwards, I worked at the Department of Infectious Disease at Tufts University doing research on zoonotic parasites. My primary areas of interest are Biology and Physiology. I am currently also getting my teaching certification in both subjects here in Massachusetts. My primary objective as a tutor is to help students make sense of difficult...

...in peer-reviewed journals, eight of them by the first author. During my academic carrier as a molecular biologist, I have pursued many opportunities to teach. During my Ph.D. program, I developed curriculums for both undergraduate and master students, and volunteered to give lectures in General Biology, as well as Cell and Molecular Biology. During my postdoctoral training I have mentored numerous undergraduate and graduate students, teaching them basics of cell biology and variety of laboratory...

...have tutored students between ages 10 and 19 in Political Science, Algebra II/Trigonometry, English as a Second Language, and sixth grade English and Math. I decided to become a tutor because my math tutor (from 8th-12th grades) took me from hating math to enjoying and succeeding in it. I want to help others make that same transition--a bad teacher or tough class can crush a student's innate curiosity, but a good tutor can restore it....

...fit my teaching style to the specific needs of my students and find out which style is most effective for them. Each student is unique and each one learns differently, that's what makes tutoring so exciting for me! I love getting to know my students and working with them to achieve their learning goals. I graduated from Brown University with a bachelor's degree in Engineering. I am from Bolivia and speak fluent Spanish. Outside of...

...to find the solutions to those questions. I am extremely interested in narratives. My hobbies are related to ways in which people tell and experience stories. This is usually in the form of books, movies, television shows, comic books, story telling, music, and video games. I have recently added radio dramas to this list of narratives I enjoy. Each medium for telling and experiencing stories offer its own unique way for the 'listener' to interact...

My tutoring experience stems from my involvement in the National Honor Society at Xaverian Brothers High School where I tutored Freshman and Sophomore classes in our mathematics and science, specifically Algebra, Calculus and Biology. Furthermore, after being inducted in the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society at...

...adult immigrants. While living in Atlanta, I worked with the Fugees Family program tutoring and mentoring refugees, as well as worked with high school students from the Atlanta area. While I enjoy tutoring many subjects, I am most passionate about Classical and English Literature and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. In my experiences assisting students with tough concepts, I always try to cater to the student's best learning style and work to make the material approachable,...

...but during my graduate studies I worked as a student teacher for a full year at a public high school, where I realized that my true passion is sharing my knowledge and sparking an interest in science for my students! I have taught biology at the high school level for three years, and have tutored students at various levels and branches of biology as well. I also teach biology for a program in Boston called...

...I worked as Emmanuel's biology, and Anatomy and Physiology tutor, as well as a part-time lab assistant for Organic Chemistry. In addition to tutoring college level classes, I also was a part-time teacher's assistant at a local preschool. I was very fortunate to work in both fields at the same time as it resulted in creativity with my higher level lesson plans, and examples of real-life application to demonstrate to my preschool students.

...University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Currently, I am a clinical research fellow at MGH. During this long journey, I have gained a lot of knowledge and accomplishments which put me in a place where I am ready to commit myself to help you prepare for your exams.
