Award-Winning Biochemistry Tutors serving Boston, MA

...high school as a peer tutor, where I spent my free study periods in departmental offices offering academic support on a drop-in basis. In college I also enjoyed tutoring my friends when they wanted some extra academic support. My passion is for mathematics and the sciences: as an engineer I have a deep appreciation for how theory in textbooks translates into real world applications. In my experience, the most important component of the tutor/student relationship...

...in lots of different subjects including general and organic chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, MCAT test prept, SAT Chem Subject Test, and even general study and organizational skills! I have worked with high school students, undergraduates, pre-med students preparing for the MCAT, and adults who have gone back to school. I love science and I enjoy sharing that love of science with students. It really makes me happy watching students get excited about doing well...

...middle school to college level courses. My favorite subjects to tutor are any math and science courses, excluding calculus, physics or geometry, as those are not fields I am most comfortable with. I have a solid background in chemistry, biology, pharmacology, as well as writing; thus, these are my favorite to teach. I find that students find algebra and chemistry particularly difficult, and I enjoy utilizing my unique method of teaching to make the subjects...

...earning a joint M.S. in Biomedical Sciences and healthcare-concentrated M.B.A. in a collaborative program between Tufts University School of Medicine and the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University. Prior, I was a dual Biological Sciences and Economics major at my undergraduate alma mater, Fordham University. I am eager to utilize the knowledge acquired form my various educational experiences to teach and inspire the next wave of enthusiastic science-oriented students.

Hi! My name is Kailing, and I am a DMD/PhD student at Harvard University with an interest in clinical and research education in health sciences as well as global health. I am also very interested in becoming an educator in academia. I am very excited to work with you!

...and out of the pool, I believe that a good lesson is one where the student is doing the thinking. I teach interactively, asking questions, listening to students. explanations, and probing students to produce the correct answer for themselves. I want to model thinking and questioning strategies that will allow a student to be successful without a tutor; I endeavor always to work myself out of a job. When I'm not tutoring or teaching swim...

...Albany Medical Center (primarily with the therapy dog program, in which I visit patients with my buddy, Tugg, who is a 3-year-old yellow labrador retriever) and enjoy playing golf, going hiking, and reading works on philosophy, economics, and the financial markets. I majored in economics and biology and minored in philosophy alongside taking the pre-medical course requirements. I scored in the 94th percentile on the MCAT and I finished with a 3.9 GPA. My undergraduate...

...fun, and consistent passions throughout my life. I started tutoring in high school and continued throughout college and now beyond as a working professional. It is hard to match the joy and satisfaction one receives from helping hard-working students achieve their goals and surprise even themselves at how much they can learn and improve. I specifically enjoy tutoring "scary" subjects such as chemistry because where others see an obstacle, I see an exciting challenge that...

I have three years of experience in 1:1 tutoring and two years of experience in classroom teaching. I have experience with ADHD clients. Creative, agile, and willing to pivot to new teaching methods in order to best serve the clients.

...moment is when I see the "light bulb" showing that a student understands what they need. I believe that understanding why a solution works is much more important than simply memorizing. Earning my master's degree in education and becoming a teacher was my mid-life crisis. Before that, I worked in industry as a chemical engineer and then a project manager for many years after earning my Bachelor of Science at Cornell University. While I tutor...

Hi, I'm Alex, and I'm here to help you on your journey to medical school. The MCAT is no doubt a huge test, but I believe that it can be conquered with an approach that emphasizes fundamentals. I work to distill complex concepts and questions to their most basic principles, building from the ground up to solidify understanding and find the right answer.

...have been tutoring for the past 9 years. I tutor math and science at any grade level. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I love helping my students solve problems that they previously thought they couldn't solve. I believe that anyone can succeed if they put in enough time and effort. We all learn differently and I love adapting my tutoring strategies to meet each student's individual needs and strengths.

I'm a chemical engineering student at UMass Lowell entering my senior year. I've been inducted into the chemical engineer honor society Omega Chi Epsilon this past semester, and have been serving as its secretary since. I hope to use this tutoring opportunity to practice for the required tutoring service when I return to school.

...In my experience, breaking larger classes into groups and encouraging them to interact with each other, will make the learning topics more amenable and students will be more comfortable asking questions. When teaching smaller groups, I prefer to use the board and encourage students to communicate what they have learned using this method as well. Visual aids are efficient in conveying the message we teach, but using a chalk talk tests your core knowledge of...

...prepare for their Dental Admission Test (DAT) to attend dental school! I firmly believe that a teacher or professor can make or break the learning experience for students, and I have been fortunate enough to have learned from incredible professors. I know what teaching styles work best, and I have developed more than one way to explain the same material to best accommodate everyone's unique learning style. In my spare time, I love to play...

...for 3 years, and went to graduate school in Southern France. May you, the potential student/client, please bring an open mind & above-average effort to my tutor sessions... as well as a notebook for keeping notes throughout the study session. Please understand that perfection is not our goal, progress is the objective every time we meet. Practice takes effort; great practice takes great effort. I will consistently encourage my students to better judge their own...

...Cellular and Molecular Biology laboratory courses. In addition to these teaching experiences, I have been involved in undergraduate research for three years. Further, I have served in the Undergraduate Student Government and have worked closely with my undergraduate institution's tutoring center to enhance course resources and create credit-bearing courses that encourage academic growth and knowledge for students. Through these experiences, and training through the College Reading and Learning Association, I have gained tremendous experience in...

...allows me to identify how the students learns best. Learning can be a cause for anxiety. I like to build a relationship with my students and help them face fears about areas of anxiety. I have multiple ways of presenting content so that each student can discover which way works best for them. My goal is to get each student confident with a given material so that they can perform with ease.... I am excited to...

...did a lot of group study. Frequently, this meant teaching a group of my peers who needed to see the material presented in a new way. I love learning and I want to help others love it, too. Throughout my studies, grades never just came easily to me. I was constantly working at getting better and trying to figure out how to solve problems in many different ways. With this type of experience, I want...

...as well as grammar mechanics. I am most experienced in teaching SSAT, SAT, and similar entrance/exit exams for students entering high school or preparing to enter college. Preparing for standardized tests can represent a stressful and frustrating time for many students. I work closely with each student to make the most of their time and bring out their very best. I am enthusiastic about learning and hope to instill the same appreciation in each student...
