Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving Mountainview, CA

...experience with teaching new concepts to students began well before this, as I helped fellow classmates understand what was taught in class. I pride myself in being well-rounded in my academic pursuits, and the subjects I teach range from mathematics to the sciences, along with geography, critical reading, and writing. Not surprisingly, my favorite subject to teach is biology, mainly because of the strong and long-standing personal interest I have had in the material, a...

...past five years, I have tutored students in various settings, from the college level down to freshman in high school. I have also taught high school biology for the past two years. My variety of teaching and tutoring experiences, along with my background knowledge, helps me to effectively connect with young people to help them learn and succeed. I tutor the following subjects: biology, anatomy, physiology, ecology, environmental science, life sciences, and AP biology.... My belief...

...in Economics from the University of Virginia in 2013. I received a Certificate in Graduate Health Sciences from VCU School of Medicine. I will be attending VCU SOM as a medical student in Fall 2015. Currently I work for VCU and VCUHS when I am not tutoring. I have been tutoring in different capacities since 2005 and continue to do so because I really enjoy helping others understand how exciting learning can be.

I've always known I wanted to teach. Once I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology/Neuroscience, I decided to pursue a Masters degree in Education. I love working with classrooms full of students, but I also love working with people one-on-one. I find that when the tutor has a chance to zero in on and accommodate a students' individual needs and learning style, the experience becomes more productive and enjoyable for everyone involved.

...tutors and mentors who aided and provided me the tools to become successful in academia and my personal life. I became motivated to become that same role model and educator for others. I began tutoring during undergrad, emphasizing in engineering and advanced calculus courses. As I worked as an engineer, I continued to privately tutor college students, and taught MCAT and college prep courses. I began teaching biological and medical science courses as I progressed...

...foundation in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I believe strongly in a holistic approach to teaching because in my experience students are far more willing to learn when seemingly arcane subjects can be tied into their day to day life and their relevance concretely demonstrated. I delight in finding and applying these connections, and I look forward to teaching others to find them as well. In my free time I enjoy playing badminton and bicycling. I...

...the highlight of my day. I've always had an aptitude for math and science and have been unofficially tutoring my peers since middle school. I believe that if you present any subject matter in a functional way that focuses on developing a strong understanding of the core concepts, you can make even the most complicated material accessible and applicable without the need for hours spent on rote memorization. This method has proven to instill a...

...from elementary to high school and even in some special cases, college sciences. During college, I tutored more than a dozen courses from start to finish. By using analogies, drawing diagrams, and asking the student questions, I was able to break through to students who were previously panicked about the possibility of failure. I believe in an "active" approach to tutoring which includes asking the student questions to not only get closer to a complicated...

...a Health 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...

...Arizona State University. I recently completed three years of my MD curriculum and am now returning to tutoring during my MBA studies. I struggled throughout high school until finally preparing for the SAT and ACT, so I'm adept with picking up just what you're struggling with - I was there once, too. Now having performed in the upper 10% of all standardized exams I have taken and graduated with high honors with all my degrees,...
