Award-Winning Microbiology Tutors serving Phoenix, AZ

...exposure. In addition to working as an Arizona State University Writing Center tutor for three years during my undergrad, I have provided private tutoring in a variety of subjects over the last 12 years. This, combined with experience from instructing four university courses during my graduate studies, has allowed me to develop what I like to believe is an effective teaching style, focused on addressing outcomes both short-term (passing a test) and long-term (learning fundamental...

...MCAT and college prep courses. I began teaching biological and medical science courses as I progressed through my medical school education, honoring in numerous classes. I performed well on my medical board exams, and thus was invited to tutor board prep exam for graduate medical students.

...genuinely love the sciences, especially Biology, and I think that this passion and enthusiasm make a real difference while tutoring. I began causally tutoring family friends in high school, and over the years I've worked with students of varied backgrounds -- from those re-taking failed classes to those applying to (and being accepted at) the best universities. I'm proud to say that I've helped all my students reach their goals, frequently pushing them to exceed...

...them maximize on their strengths. I tutor a wide range of subjects but the sciences are my personal specialty. I am fascinated with the building blocks of matter and love learning and teaching about them. If you need help with biology, chemistry, physics, organic chemistry, physiology, or microbiology, I can be especially helpful. What about standardized tests? Taking the ACT, SAT, or AP tests soon? Yep, I can help with those as well. I recently...

...said, I believe that every student has their own unique learning style, and so I am always happy to adjust my tutoring style to the needs of a student. Otherwise, I hold tutoring sessions by reviewing a concept and tying it into helpful learning devices, working through practice problems with a student while answering any questions they may have, and then summarizing what was done, answering final questions, and constructing a goals list at the...

...from Arizona State University as a Health Sciences major. While at ASU I had the opportunity to work at the Downtown Student Success Center for two years as a supplemental instructor. Most of my students were pre-med or studying to become nurses. My favorite subject to teach was Anatomy/Physiology, but I also enjoyed most math and sciences courses especially General and Organic Chemistry. In my spare time, I enjoy competing in all types of sports,...

I am a very passionate tutor and will go every extra mile if it will help the student to understand a subject more effectively. I am a very fun tutor that enjoys challenging the student to do their...

...held for a Microbiology Lab, which was an expected but great honor for me to receive. I have held two very different chemistry based jobs (one that I am currently in now) since graduation in which I test drinking water and foods for a vast array of microbial agents and chemical compounds that are dangerous to the public. Using my experience in both academics, research and in my career, I have been able to tie...

...University. I received my Bachelor degree in Secondary Education with an emphasis in Biology and Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught in the Gilbert Public Schools system for nine years. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Biology, Ecology, Genetics and Anatomy/Physiology. In my experience helping struggling students I have found that the best way to learn is to have fun while you are learning and to...

...students daily. I have past experience in tutoring elementary and middle school students in a variety of subjects and have tutored individuals with ADHD; I love to find ways to get students to love school and want to understand the material on their own! Since I am a student myself, I love to teach strategies on how to study and remember the material that I used and that my students use and love.

...are felt by every student, from where they are and where they need to be. As an AP Chemistry teacher, I get a lot of different responses; "oh you must be smart". My favorite response is "No, I must be passionate". See I wasn't always the scientist nor thought I could. But I knew where I was, wasn't where I wanted to be and college is how I forged the path to my dreams. I'm...

...hands on learning and Project Based Learning to expand a students knowledge! I have a wholistic approach to any subject area but especially Math and (STEM)! MAKING MATH FUN!!! I use project based learning games for math concepts using state and national standards. Learning should be fun and innovative, using individual students creativity and learning styles to obtain math concepts. I have taught all subjects for 20 years from 3rd grade to currently teaching math...

...(up to ochem), biology (up to cell/developmental), mathematics (up to college calculus), Spanish, English vocabulary, and writing (academic and creative). My personal teaching philosophy involves rigor and accountability, but I always make sure that my students feel comfortable with the pace of learning. I try to foster a culture of kindness and honesty during my sessions so that students don't feel like they have to hide any discomfort or confusion about a certain topic. Apart...

...algebra, geometry, as well as trigonometry. I enjoy teaching mathematics since they tend to be logical and very straight forward. Something that one of my mentor teachers said sticks with me to this day: "They don't care how much you know, unless they know how much you care." Since, I have made it my personal goal to live by that statement. My goal is to build a mutual relationship with my students before I facilitate...

I am currently a senior at ASU. I will be applying to medical school in the near future. I am very easy going and easy to get along with. I specialize in any of the sciences, including chemistry (inorganic and organic), biology, microbiology, anatomy/physiology. I hope to see you soon!

...teach the subject to another individual. Therefore, I provide not only the details in a subject, but also a bigger picture motif that enables the student to make real-life connections with what they are learning and gives them enough understanding to be able to "teach" the topic. As someone who recently graduated Arizona State University with a B.S. in Microbiology, I understand the hardships that many students must face in large classroom learning environments and...

...in math, biology, history, and standardized test prep. More than any other experience, the three years as an SI leader helped me grow my leadership and tutoring skills, as well as my love of teaching. SI leaders use the challenges posed by high-risk/high-failure courses to guide undergraduates to discover, not just "what to learn," but also "how to learn." Knowing how to learn and how to obtain information is a skill demonstrated by multiple research...

...dry topics like the order of operations can be easier to remember. I believe that math and science are key in getting further in education, which in itself is invaluable. Due to my background in math, I am very comfortable tutoring pre-algebra, algebra I, algebra II, geometry, and industrial engineering as needed. In addition, I am strongly suited to tutor in anatomy & physiology and I really enjoy this subject. On a personal level, I...

...I've concluded that simply 'being smart' is not the key to succeeding in any subject; it's finding a reason to care about what you're learning, and managing the information thrown at you. Now, this is a wonderful, wonderful thing, because while I cannot make anyone 'smarter,' I can help them break information down until they understand it and show them where the subject can intersect their own passions. Would you understand The Odyssey better if...
