Award-Winning Science Tutors in Virginia

...in May, I will be applying to medical schools with the hopes of entering the field of oncology, either pediatric or orthopedic oncology. The subjects I thoroughly enjoy tutoring include anatomy, physiology, genetics, biochemistry, and many other subjects related to the path I am walking to become a physician. My tutoring philosophy can only be put into words that I am borrowing from my favorite professor'You must focus on learning". I understand that is vague...

...and attended weekly workshops to improve my teaching skills. I have also freelance tutored with pupils of all ages, from elementary school kids all the way up to college students.

I specialize in SAT (all sections), math, and science. I also have experience with AP Tests. However, at elementary...

...the year off on the right foot. My teaching methods are excellent, and unlike most tutors, I bring fun and excitement to the subject, because we all know how boring the physical and biological sciences can be at times.

Most importantly, I look forward to helping my students, allowing them to excel and achieve their...

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.

...including: middle school science, Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, Health and Veterinary Technician courses. My work in the classroom has prepared me to help children of all ability levels. I really enjoy seeing students succeed. I think it is important as a tutor as well as a teacher to determine what each individual student needs and adapt lessons accordingly.

In my spare time, I love playing and listening to music...

...experience with tutoring, I have improved my communication skills and teaching style, and polished my own understanding of concepts in math and physics. Through this work, I have found the following approaches to work well, regardless of someone's background or interests. 1. Everyone is capable of learning math and physics beyond the level required in high school or college. Although sometimes these subjects may seem obscure, irrelevant, and unnecessarily complicated, they are notand I hope...
