Award-Winning Physiology Tutors in St. Louis, MO

...St. Louis. I previously tutored English during my senior year of high school and informally assisted with test preparation. I feel comfortable tutoring GRE, ACT and ISEE test preparation, as well as Chemistry and World History. My favorite subject to tutor is standardized test preparation because I find it rewarding to see someone's score improve. I prefer an interactive teaching style because I want the student to have input on their learning style and preferences....

...also completed all of the necessary classes to apply to medical school. This has given me a wide range of subjects that I am familiar with and comfortable tutoring, especially in biological fields such as Anatomy, Physiology and Genetics. I am originally from Omaha, Nebraska, but over the past 5 years, I have gotten to know and love the Saint Louis area. I am a patient, kind individual that will work to meet the needs...

...been engrossed ever since. Thanks to the students that I have tutored, I have learned to think of topics in many new ways and it is this fluidity with studying and learning that I hope to get across. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing music and running long distances. Coincidentally, my neighbors enjoy running long distances from the music I play! I like to work hard at breaking my own limits and I believe with an...

I am a scientist with 30 years in the drug development industry, but I have a passion for teaching. I currently teach Biology and Anatomy part-time at the community college level. I think I bring a unique perspective to teaching and tutoring because I live what I teach, I use Biology concepts every day at work. I relate well to students one-on-one and love teaching!... I try to tailor my teaching style to fit the individual student, but my default is to teach using multiple examples that relate to everyday life, to help the student understand and remember key concepts.

...physiology. I am now a first year medical student at Saint Louis University. My teaching style centers around the student mastering basic principles and then learning to combine and apply those basic principles to answer questions that, at first glance, appear far more complex than they actually are. This is particularly useful in timed testing situations such as the MCAT and ACT, when the chances of remembering a specific example of a complicated problem are...

...for further opportunities to tutor other students, at which point I came across Varsity Tutors. My strongest subjects include English, ACT, DAT, Algebra,and Biology. I enjoy tutoring these subjects because a lot of progress can be made in them by simply looking at different strategies to approaching the subject material. I have come to understand that a great tutor is someone who can understand how a particular student learns and who works to explain the...

...Perception and problem solving are integral parts of tutoring. In my view, to be an effective tutor, one needs to be able to perceive the problems a student is having, and then figure out a way to work with the student to find ways around his or her difficulties. And then there was the reward of the student actually gaining knowledge and understanding of a topic. There was always a good feeling when a student...

...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 also enjoy cooking and exploring local restaurants around town with my friends.... Get to know my student and his/her learning preferences, and establish a rapport.

...English has always been a strong suit of mine. I can tutor in several subjects, but Biology will always my passion. In my journey to become a physician, I understand how important academics are and the impact someone can have just by helping. There are techniques that I use to problem-solve all the time because certain professors took the time with me. Those techniques are what I hope to pass on to fellow students. Currently,...

...fellow undergraduates. In graduate school I was a teaching assistant for undergraduate courses in Immunology and Genetics.The combination of my research experience along with my teaching experience means that I use the things I learned in Math, Chemistry and Biology on a daily basis. My approach to tutoring and teaching is to focus on the concepts that are crucial for the students to understand the material. By concentrating on the important concepts as opposed to...
