Award-Winning Physiology Tutors in San Francisco-Bay Area, CA

...for a couple of years doing research, I decided to apply to graduate school. Alongside the application cycle, I am excited about tutoring science and math subjects given my predilection for engineering. As an undergraduate, I was a teaching assistant for the Economics Department where I taught lower and upper division sections along with hosting individual office hours. Herein I learned that the best method to convey complex concepts is through customized practice problems that...

...pursued part-time research in a developmental neurobiology lab, and was active in the biology department’s mentorship program. I worked as a TA for introductory genetics classes and tutored students individually in genetics, cell biology, and biochemistry. I also competed on my college’s varsity swim team.

...am a lifelong student and am inspired to instill a love of learning in my students. Certain subjects, especially science, may not ‘be your thing’ and that is just fine.

In my spare time, I like to head to Crossfit...

...medicine, we often use the Socratic method of teaching, asking first general questions that test a student's ability to know the motivations for learning a particular subject, and finishing with more focused questions to find gaps of knowledge that a student can fill into his or her personal heuristic. This method of tutoring is particularly well-suited for test prep, math, and science sessions. While I have enjoyed my medical and statistical studies in graduate school,...

...physiology. While at Cal Poly, I was hired as a tutor by the Cal Poly athletic department. I have tutored students in a number of subjects, but I enjoy tutoring students in the sciences the most. The thing that I enjoy about tutoring is coming up with different ways to explain difficult concepts and helping students to become more active learners. This past year I decided to get my single subject credential, and I plan...

...a student’s experience. Once a student can connect the dots between the lesson at hand and something he or she already knows, the learning process can actually become fun. I have had great results helping people succeed in science courses (especially the courses with lab write-ups or projects), ace their writing assignments, and master the performance anxiety that can arise from projects that involve public speaking. I believe that knowledge is power, and I enjoy...

...San Luis Obispo and earned my B.S. in Biology with an emphasis in Human Anatomy & Physiology and a minor in Biotechnology. Throughout college, I helped many of my fellow students learn more and get better grades in a wide variety of classes by helping them to study more effectively and efficiently. Outside of school, I like to eat sushi and travel (preferably at the same time). Let me know what I can do to...

I am a recent graduate and have a desire and passion for teaching and sharing knowledge. I believe that knowledge is one thing that no one can take away from you and the more you use it or distribute it the more you will understand it. So, I want to share what I know and learn at the same time.
