Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving Lawrence, MA

...for the sciences until my undergraduate career. After finishing my B.S. in Biology, I pursued further graduate coursework at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. There, I studied Molecular and Human Biology. Performing research, assisting classes, and organizing seminars during graduate school inspired me to pursue a temporary job as an adjunct professor upon returning to the U.S. Teaching here in New York City has better enhanced my pedagogical skills and has taught me a...

...Biomedical Science. I have a dual degree from Franklin & Marshall College in Biochemistry and Neuroscience. I have been tutoring for the past 6 years and really enjoy teaching. Ideally I like to find out what the student is studying/struggling with BEFORE I visit so that I can make a visual study guide/review along with a few practice problems so that we can spend our time effectively. My strategy is not to tell students the...

...Accelerated Medical Program. This year I'm taking a year off to do research in clinical dermatology with Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital; I hope to eventually become a Pediatric Dermatologist!

...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 Classroom At The Workplace where I work with many English language learners. My experiences in and out of the classroom and with various types of learners has expanded my ability to make biology content accessible AND fun! In my spare time, I...

...different age ranges. Depending on the subject there are several approaches to teaching, or tutoring, that I think are appropriate. Since each student is different it is important to find the best ways in which he/she can recall, understand, and relate various subject materials. Ultimately though, whether a student is an auditory, visual, kinetic, spacial, etc.. learner, I find the best approach is to help students learn how to identify a range of ways to...

...can connect to students so easily, because I understand the difficulties with learning. My tutoring sessions involve a very interactive approach on the part of the student with a reward based approach for their efforts. This is my way of promoting student interest in the topics of study, to prevent monotony and boredom with school work. I like to try to incorporate games into my tutoring sessions that may include topics they have learned; whether...

...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 and should be entertaining, and that makes retaining the material easier, and taking the test or passing the course less stressful. I also know that preparing for the test format and developing mental endurance are as important as course material.... To make...

...Since graduating, I worked in Clinical Informatics until completing my obligatory 6-month active-duty training as an Army Reserve Officer at Ft. Sam Houston, TX. I recently moved up to Boston to study Health Informatics at Boston University. In my spare time, I enjoy reading books (scientific non-fiction, literature and science fiction), watching quality films, programming, skiing and surfing. I am also a avid Cross Fit person and a firm believer that fitness training improves not...

...of the subject. I have a strong foundation in multiple choice exams and test-taking strategies. I really like to stress a knowledge of material, but I also am very big on studying smarter, not harder. Additionally, graduate school has prepared me very well for subjects such as anatomy and physiology. I would venture to say that I am proficient in these subjects, and I am more than capable of helping you learn these subjects for...

...testing prep. Math and English are my favorite subjects to tutor (of course) but I enjoy teaching and tutoring in all its forms! I also used to be a Coach for Let's Get Ready, meaning that as a volunteer, I conducted an SAT and college readiness course for a class of around 10 high school students. I also helped with editing their college essays and answering all of their college questions. Currently, I spend an...

...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 a business. I have an undying passion for knowledge and education and would like to inspire teenagers to find their own passion. My favorite quote is, "In the Age of Information, ignorance is a choice."

I'm a second year MD/PhD student currently enjoying medical school. I'm a laid back guy who loves to teach and help people understand topics. I also enjoy teaching people new ways to learn, allowing them to spend less time studying and more time enjoying other activities, like playing soccer or exploring around their city.

...a pre-med major. During my time at Emmanuel, I was heavily involved in the school's tutoring program. For two and a half years 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...

I recognize the grave importance of instilling scientific knowledge in our future generations, so it is my goal to help students overcome any struggles or intimidation of the subject. I aim to do this by encouraging the same interest and curiosity in the subject that has lead me to pursue a...

...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 once you understand the concepts and how they fit into the larger framework, it makes memorizing a lot easier and it gives you the command of the material that enables you to do well on any exam. When I am not...

Teaching is my passion. When I am not tutoring for Varsity Tutors, I work in medical research. I love the idea of helping patients feel better and especially kids. If I had to say something about my outlook, it is that I am thankful for what I do, privileged to be part of so many lives, and hopeful that my skills will make a difference.

After all of that reading, writing, not sleeping, drinking seven eleven coffee's in the middle of the night, I treat...
