Award-Winning Physiology Tutors in Manhattan, NY

...spent doing what others do in minutes, the discrimination they faced from peers and teachers who mistook their inability as an unwillingness to learn, and the importance of support in their success stories. After college, I spent one year in India on a Fulbright Fellowship teaching English to 6th to 8th grade students at a school for underserved girls. I struggled a lot as a teacher in this environment. I had to witness the underfunded...

...on their own. Personally, my interests shadow my studies, but extend beyond them as well. I am matriculating to medical school next year, and am passionate about biomedical science and helping people. I spend my free time reading, playing pick-up basketball or soccer with my friends, going on a run or for a swim, and watching sports. I tutor high school and college-level science courses, including chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and physics. I also tutor economics,...

...setting, where the tutor and the student work together to set realistic goals, and then identify the roadblocks preventing the student from achieving his or her goal. We then work together to surmount these obstacles, allowing the student to actualize his or her goal. I also try to identify the source of a student's obstacles, and work to solve these fundamental issues as well. I am a big believer in teaching someone how to learn,...

...gap year in order to get my bearings and do something I love. Tutoring has been a lifelong passion of mine, one which I have been engaged in since my freshman year of high school, when I tutored middle- and high-school age students in a variety of different subjects at summer school. In reality, however, my experience with teaching new concepts to students began well before this, as I helped fellow classmates understand what was...

...grad school and while doing neuroscience research. I love tutoring one-on-one because I can get to know students and gear the lessons toward their interests, which helps them learn more quickly, retain new skills better, and enjoy the tutoring sessions more. I particularly enjoy teaching science, writing, and test prep. With test prep I've found that supplemental work on fundamental skills helps students improve their scores much more than working through a test prep book...

...STEM subjects such as math, chemistry, physics, and engineering. I have discovered that teaching is a passion of mine, and plan on going into academic medicine in the future so I can incorporate this passion into my medical career. Besides tutoring, I enjoy reading, binge-watching shows on Netflix, and learning how to cook. I'm also a huge music nerd; I love finding new artists and I play the drums myself. My teaching philosophy is heavily...

Aside from being an avid scholar, I am a world traveler and enjoy trying new things! I also love to run, draw, read, and cook, either with friends or simply by myself. I stay in shape both mentally and physically: I am constantly training to be my best. Whenever the opportunity arises to help elevate someone, I take it. Helping a student reach their goals is equally as rewarding for my student and myself.

...extensive communication with academics, researchers, and professionals. I'm currently a Math Editor at one of the largest international academic publishing houses, a position in which I've utilized my strong mathematical interest and ability. Math and science have been two of my favorite subjects since middle school, and I follow the developments in these fields both in my career and in my spare time. I believe that students do their best when they have passionate teachers...

...in math and science and it gives me a sense of satisfaction to see other people succeed. As the eldest of three I've helped my younger siblings in their studies and primarily use examples and analogies that they can understand and relate to in order to help them. Besides math and science, a few other things I love are research in my lab, football, basketball, comic books (especially Spider-Man and the rest of Marvel), and...

...is going to succeed. After reviewing the student's previous work and/or test scores, together, we set up a curriculum that works to strengthen his or her weaknesses whether that be reading comprehension, grammar skills, algebra, test taking tips, time management, etc. During our sessions together, we will review the problems that I have provided for homework, and I will instruct the student on better and faster ways to solve the correct problems and demonstrate ways...

...University of Rhode Island. I have a few years of experience as a tutor at my university, mainly in Anatomy and Physiology. I am also able to help with Writing, Study Skills, and Organization. I believe understanding how each student learns individually and adapting to that is the most important quality that I have as a tutor. Learning how to be organized and how you personally learn best is the key to being a successful...

...too small or problem too complicated that I cannot help with if not solve. I am exceptionally dedicated to my students; ensuring that they not simply memorize concepts or regurgitate facts but truly understand the material. I ask them to defend their answers which teaches them that the correct response is often less important than the reasoning used to reach said response. I honestly believe that anyone can learn anything given enough time and patience....

...City as a leave replacement biology teacher. I have dedicated much of my life to helping others, having been a part of hospitals, a non-profit organization for bird of prey rehabilitation, and a college learning resource center. The areas I tutor are biology, microbiology, anatomy, and physiology. These include honors biology, AP Biology, and IB Biology HL. Of all of these subjects, I most enjoy tutoring physiology because I find how the body functions extremely...

...so much that, after graduating, I decided to adjunct lecture at a community college. There, I welcomed the exciting challenge of engaging adult learners in an introductory biology course with labs. Recently, I have garnered some extensive private experience tutoring middle to high-school age students in Algebra, Geometry, ELA, Chemistry and Biology, as an independent contractor for a couple of companies. I look forward to working with you to achieve the success to which you...

...pre-medical honor society as an executive board member, and was extremely involved in THON, the largest student-run philanthropy in the world. It is a no-sitting, no-sleeping 46-hour dance marathon in which Penn State students raise money for pediatric cancer. I recently moved to New York City, where I interact with and assist patients and physicians daily at an urgent care center. I am currently seeking admission to medical school, and take every opportunity to continue...

...their goals. Throughout my college career at Northeastern University in Boston I have always found time to get involved with teaching opportunities. I was a tutor at a Health Sciences Academy after school program where I spend time working with 9th and 10th graders on activities such as their homework, science projects, and computer labs. I have also worked with a younger age group as a member of a pre-school Head Start program and engaged...

...the past and I believe it is important to curtail your teaching methods to the student's favorite learning style. Whether you're a visual, auditory, or tactile learner (or some combination of all three!), I'm confident I can assist you in understanding and mastering difficult concepts! I plan to matriculate to medical school in the summer of 2014 after taking a gap year filled with relaxation, a lot of hockey, and hopefully some scuba diving if...

...their education. While I do tutor many subjects, my personal favorite has to be Biology/Anatomy/Physiology and Genetics. I am fascinated by the human body and its complexity. That is actually the reason I chose the M.D. Route. I am always yearning to learn more, and I hope to pass that enthusiasm onto my students as well. When I'm not tutoring, I both act in theatre productions and sing with my A Cappella group. I also...

...genetics, immunology, pathology, human anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, neuroscience and others), as well as other science courses including chemistry courses and physics courses, in addition to earth science. I also tutor math, including algebra, geometry and trigonometry. I can also help write papers and proofread for errors and content of any subject, and help write lab reports. I am comfortable tutoring students of any age and at any speed. I can go as slow as the...

...concepts when they're viewed in an interdisciplinary context. As an artist and techie, I frequently call on both my creative and analytical sides when teaching and developing curriculum, especially in the areas of science-arts. Some of my fondest moments have been when a student mastered a complicated skill or concept with ease because they were so highly focused on the "fun" project or experiment. I bring this same creativity and passion to all disciplines from...
