Award-Winning Microbiology Tutors serving Yonkers, NY

...with a degree in Public Policy, but I my fields of study ranged from biology to organic chemistry to British literature. I'm a hardworking, compassionate, and patient individual who has been tutoring since high school and helping my little sister with her homework long before. I'll work with every new student individually to recognize his or her strengths and weaknesses to make sure that material is actually being learned, not just memorized.

...of individualized attention and goal setting, where the tutor and the student work together to set realistic goals, and then identify the roadblocks preventing the student from achieving his or her goal. We then work together to surmount these obstacles, allowing the student to actualize his or her goal. I also try to identify the source of a student's obstacles, and work to solve these fundamental issues as well. I am a big believer in...

...high school and college students in a broad variety of subjects. Although I am passionate about all of the subjects that I teach, I have always been especially interested in Biology, and I love working with students to see the big picture connections between the facts of life. In general, my tutoring style focuses on drawing generalizable principles out of the material to help a student internalize and fully absorb content, which I believe makes...

...strategies and succeed. I am a recent Bachelor of Science from Cornell University, where my studies revolved around applying life science research to health and social studies. I have served as an undergraduate teaching assistant for several courses, and specializes in 1-on-1 tutoring for introductory biochemistry. Biochemistry is my favorite because of how many other disciplines it synthesizes. After achieving a 38 on the MCAT (99.1%), I began mentoring students on test preparation strategies. While...

...It takes commitment and hard work to study any course material. The first thing I do is highlight the central theme of each chapter, then work on central idea of each paragraph and tie it together to some unique concept. This tool has helped me through regular and honors courses. It is essential to be patient in note-taking. Every idea must be cross-checked and validated. There are several references available that students can utilize. I...

...Psychology & Experimental Neuroscience from Elon University, located in North Carolina. Shortly thereafter I began to work towards my PhD in the field of experimental neuroscience research. My strongest subjects include statistics, math, and the sciences. My favorite subject to tutor would have to be statistics, mostly because I have taken so many classes in this subject that it is like second nature at this point. Outside of my education, I am an avid golfer....

...works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to...

...diagrams and visual aids in my teaching. In addition, since high school, I have always been someone that friends entrust to look over and critique their papers before they submit final drafts. My teaching style features visual learning, mnemonics, and hierarchical organization of material. I find that hierarchically cataloguing information by topic and sub-topic helps students retain material, as students are not simply memorizing, but are understanding how concepts relate to one another. More personally,...

...health. I've just recently finished a ten month term of service with AmeriCorps NCCC, a residential service program in which I lived and worked with 11 other young people on community service projects throughout the west coast. The experience was wonderful, both as an opportunity to gain a deep understanding of teamwork and gain skills in dealing with a great diversity of people, and as an opportunity to explore the country while doing some really...

...schools the year after I graduated. Also during this gap year, I taught introductory chemistry lab for science majors at Grand Valley State University. After some self reflection I decided medical school was not the path I wanted to take and decided instead to move to New York City to pursue my other passion of performing on stage. However, due to my background in academia and teaching, I desired to maintain plugged into that world...

...the next year. I specialize in tutoring a broad range of subjects including chemistry, biology, and physics, as well as math subjects like algebra and calculus. I also tutor for standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, AP tests, and the MCAT. I sincerely believe that while some of the concepts presented in these subjects and tests seem initially very difficult, they become much less intimidating if you have the confidence and perspective to look at...

University of Michigan alumnus, currently pursuing a DDS at New York University College of Dentistry. I enjoy chemistry and biology from general chemistry and cell biology to organic chemistry and biochemistry! I believe the learning experience requires different perspectives, and all the little details professors sometimes omit make a world's of a difference in understanding.

...tricks on how to solve certain problems. During my tutoring sessions, I work with students to develop an understanding for the material by utilizing their resources so that they can perform well when tested on the information.

I am looking forward to working with you and aiding you in finding success in your studies!
