Award-Winning Physiology Tutors in Richmond, VA

...different experience. Teaching these kids and learning from their enthusiasm was a big life lesson. I realized how different it was tutoring a young child vs. an older one and how teaching needs to be adapted to meet those ways. For example, including a fun activity for elementary school students is important to keep them engaged in school. While on the other hand, high school and college students require more of a practical approach and...

I am well versed in many topics...

...of working with students as young as 2nd grade, all the way up to the college level. I prefer the sciences (biology, chemistry, Earth science) and math (elementary to algebra II). When tutoring, I encourage my students arrive at the solution by continuously asking questions, rather than directly giving answers. I also enjoy the use of manipulatives to speak to a wider range of learning styles, and to add an element of fun to the...

...world - which begins with solid foundations in math, science, and language. Increasingly, as society continues exponentially towards automation and the global exchange of superfluous information, our roles will shift from simple workers to stewards of this growing library.

...Physiology Lab where I used models and cadavers to teach undergraduate students about the human body. Though I have done some tutoring before, this position helped me discover my passion for teaching/tutoring, and I now find my drive for learning science is rivaled only by my desire to help others do the same. I treasure the moments when I see the proverbial light bulb switch on and the concepts “click.” Though I am willing to...
