Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving Framingham, MA

...way up to college students. Currently I am a sophomore at Cornell University studying neuroscience as my major and math as my minor. Even at college I have continued tutoring. I am on the E-board for our tutoring club. I also lead a study section for college students currently taking Comparative Physiology. For Varsity Tutors I tutor in the following subjects: biology, psychology, algebra, geometry, calculus, Latin, statistics, test prep, essay editing, writing, and reading.

...with inspiration. I believe a great tutor not only teaches the material, but also helps students to become more effective learners. I often provide real-world examples to help students get excited about concepts. Also, I use practice problems so that my students can see their own improvement and gain confidence. These strategies help students to become better lifelong learners, and their benefits extend beyond the subjects I am teaching. In addition to teaching and learning,...

...have taught the SAT, SSAT, AP Biology, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry for 2 years. I love teaching students HOW to learn, not just WHAT to learn. I always emphasize hard work - because you always get what you work for. I don't care about natural intelligence, because trying your best and being persistent is the key to learning and improvement. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the student understanding a concept for the...

...I seemed to have a great understanding of the material. In helping my peers in my study groups, I began to realize a recurring theme - they didn't know how to approach learning in the Sciences. As a result, I found a niche and a passion in teaching in the science modalities. Over the course of the next couple of years, I was a TA in Organic Chemistry, and I was employed by the university...

...score to where I wanted it to be. The second time I took the exam I saw a 200-point increase. Previously, I have had experience teaching the SSAT and the SAT. The student I tutored in SSAT successfully passed the exam is now attending a private high school abroad. With VarsityTutor's online learning platform, I will be able to transfer knowledge in a visual, easy-to-understand manner. I look forward to being your tutor and helping...

...these seemingly separate scientific topics are actually all related. The MCAT no longer seems scary, but turns into a means of truly learning this material and providing a strong foundation for the future. I also have extensive experience in the concepts and mathematics behind many economic topics. I have tutored in all of the premedical science subjects and have provided group review sessions as well as individualized help. I love helping students finally make connections...

...a better understanding as one builds new topics on previous ones. I have found that students have the most success in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they become second nature. Like the subjects that I teach, I believe that education is an ongoing and ever-growing component that is necessary for a happy and fulfilling life, and...

...variety of laboratory techniques. My students received scholarships for Ph.D. programs in prestigious universities across the United States, such as University of Pittsburg, University of Utah, Brown and Northwestern Universities. Beyond teaching University students, I used to work with high school students, leading an extra-curriculum club in biology, as well as coaching them for science Olympiads. I am also nature enthusiast, and four-season volunteer backcountry trip leader in Appalachian Mountain Club. I am leading day...

Teaching is my passion. When I am not tutoring for Varsity Tutors, I work in medical research. I love the idea of helping patients feel better and especially kids. If I had to say something about my outlook, it is that I am thankful for what I do, privileged to be part of so many lives, and hopeful that my skills will make a difference.

...hard I worked, sometimes the material just would not click. I worked with my teachers and tutors who helped me overcome many of my learning barriers. I have been tutoring students for 6+ years in all academic and organizational areas. I am patient, kind, understanding, and willing to take the time that each student needs to understand a concept. I understand school work does not come naturally for everyone, and I am here to help...

...me that all students learn differently and I try to adapt my teaching style to best fit my students. My education and professional career have made me qualified to teach the subjects I have always been most interested in, all levels of mathematics and biology. Outside of my professional life I enjoy cycling, camping, fly fishing, hiking, sports and home-made cooking. I look forward to spending more of my spare time educating others.

...favorite subjects to teach are: Chemistry, Math and Biology. My favorite exams to teach include: SAT Math, GRE Quantitative, GRE Chemistry, and the MCAT. In general, any exam related to any of my favorite 3 subjects. I am offering you the knowledge I gained during 4 years of BS in Chemistry two years of MS in Organic Chemistry, four years of MD and six years of PhD in Biophysics, as well as the experience I...

...involved in the school's tutoring program. For two and a half years I worked as Emmanuel's biology, and Anatomy and Physiology tutor, as well as a part-time lab assistant for Organic Chemistry. In addition to tutoring college level classes, I also was a part-time teacher's assistant at a local preschool. I was very fortunate to work in both fields at the same time as it resulted in creativity with my higher level lesson plans, and...

...and Math. I decided to become a tutor because my math tutor (from 8th-12th grades) took me from hating math to enjoying and succeeding in it. I want to help others make that same transition--a bad teacher or tough class can crush a student's innate curiosity, but a good tutor can restore it. I currently tutor students in the social and biological sciences (elementary school through college level), reading and writing, and in standardized test...

...learn is to place yourself in a fun environment. As a tutor, I share this outlook on learning with my students by creating an engaging and gratifying environment conducive to the learning style of the individual with whom I am working. I am driven by my passion for science, English, writing, literature and Spanish. I am excited to revisit these academic interests as a tutor during my "gap year" before I attend medical school next...

...observation before I can truly begin tutoring with any true impact. I have spent the last two years out of school managing an organic farm and directing product and systems design for a farm-tech startup out of Boston. I am now working on some personal projects that I dream of one day becoming a business. I have an undying passion for knowledge and education and would like to inspire teenagers to find their own passion....

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

...that my true passion is sharing my knowledge and sparking an interest in science for my students! I have taught biology at the high school level for three years, and have tutored students at various levels and branches of biology as well. I also teach biology for a program in Boston called Classroom At The Workplace where I work with many English language learners. My experiences in and out of the classroom and with various...

...attention. If I had to select an area of inquiry that is the most exciting it would be where the Humanities and Natural Sciences merge. I am thrilled to be constantly adding interdisciplinary approaches to my toolkit whether the discipline is history, literature, ethics, biology, pathology, technology, archaeology, or anthropology. The last two semesters I have functioned in the role of a Teaching Assistant for an introduction course to pathophysiology at the University of Texas...

...applying to highly competitive scholarships. Each of these experiences has taught me how to communicate concepts in clear and engaging ways. For instance, while tutoring adolescents enrolled in the Boston-based Artists for Humanity program, I would often teach students whom I had never worked with before, and thus became adept at quickly discovering and implementing the strategies that worked best for a particular student (e.g., visual/tactile examples, analogies, and breaking down complex problems into smaller...
