Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving Chapel Hill, NC

...purely because I enjoy it. Education has opened up so many doors for me, and this is largely because I was fortunate to have some amazing teachers growing up who made learning fun (or at the very least not miserable). My goal is to do the same for each one of the students who I work with, and find ways to make even the most abstract concepts or complex math problems "click" in a student's...

...homecoming. During my time with students, I feel like patience is one of the most important things when trying to get through to a student, and coincidentally, my name means 'patience is good' in my native language. I look forward to helping students understand what they never thought they would be able to master, and I feel a personal sense of accomplishment when I can help a student work through their apprehensions to get to...

...school, and even having to study within time-constraints from having to juggle a full-time job. I know first-hand how demoralizing making sub-par grades can be, but also the triumph of learning how to redirect focus and learning strategies while rebuilding confidence. I love to teach just as much as I love to learn. I truly believe where there's a will, there's a way, and hopefully an "A"! If you really want to understand the "why"...

...a very good mentor. I have been through and understand the application system for college, medical, and graduates schools (including international schools.) I have mentored and continue to mentor several students, especially pre-med students. So far, 100% of my students have gained admission to medical school. I have several years of experience mentoring and tutoring and I am confident that success will not elude us. You will not regret using me as a tutor.... My philosophy...

...has exposed me to teach a group rather than individuals at once. It lead me to implement methods of active learning to ensure that the content presented was understood by everyone. While also working as a tutor in the athletic department, I would be assigned to student athletes who were performing poorly in their courses due to the lack of interest in studying and education, while allocating most of their time to training for their...

...in Ypsilanti, I keep teaching in my life because I love the feeling of seeing a student reach a new level. I'm a big fan of designed independent learning, and my experience has taught me that "studying harder" is not always the answer. With each student, I focus first on organization: what we need to cover and a timeline to get to their goal. I'm a physician assistant student at Duke and hope to become...

...over four years, so I am very confident in my ability to make complicated topics understandable. My favorite area is standardized testing. I love the look on a student's face when they realize that they don't have to be nervous about an exam - that it can actually be really fun if the questions are viewed as the simple patterns they really are. In my free time, I love watching movies, reading, swimming, and exploring...

...opportunity to share what I know in a way that inspires and educates students. My passion for education stems from a desire to become more aware of the world around me and to help others do the same, whether in the form of writing a paper, passing a test or understanding new concepts. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology or writing. In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors, playing piano, sports and reading.

I'm a pre-health student at the University of Pennsylvania, and have an extensive background in the sciences. I can also rock the SATs and MCAT, so I've got that going for me. I love learning with students and trying to make the tedious work of learning as fun as possible. I think and teach in examples and make abstract concepts easily understandable. I also love sports, adventures, travelling!... My teaching philosophy is to teach in a...

...the path that I am on today. While I did not begin my journey with an ambition to become a doctor, experiences throughout my life have prepared me to make the decision to become a doctor. I remember discovering in kindergarten that I was a highly empathetic person. The first job that I dreamed of was becoming a veterinarian because of my love for animals. Being the first member of my family to work in...

...sure the final product is leaves a positive lasting impression. With my assistance, one could not be more prepared to help land the college of his/her dreams! My services also include science and math tutoring ranging from elementary school level to college aged students. My two years of being an undergraduate teaching assistant at the University of Maryland, College Park have given me valuable experience and knowledge I apply when tutoring students.... Lifelong learning and the...

...Brain Awareness exhibits as a member of the Society for Neuroscience, and assistant coaching a high school Mock Trial team. Tutoring goes best when the student is motivated, and I have two main approaches to motivating my students. First, context- a topic isn't interesting or important 'just because', we have to discover how it's related to our whole world and especially to things the student already knows they care about. Second, getting to know the...

...of St Thomas. While an undergraduate student, I enjoyed leading fellow pre-health professional classmates as campus President of HOSA-Future Health Professionals. One of my most unforgettable health care experiences was a two-week medical missions trip which involved extensive teamwork for fundraising and bringing medical supplies to serve a remote and underserved village in Huancayo, Peru. I also received a Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences from University of North Texas Health Science Center and am...

...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, I love to exercise, play the acoustic guitar,...

...conversation. By creating a dynamic atmosphere between Tutor and student, the student will be able to truly understand the material. Constant collaboration is the key to a student's success and I have spent years mastering this skill. My interests, outside of teaching, include sports, music, and international work. I personally understand the everyday challenges that student athletes must overcome and I can tailor my approach to best fit their academic needs. On top of sports, I...

...receive the class notes and requirements from the student, I prepare an outline and a powerpoint for our session. During our session, I will go through the material and explain, in detail, each and every slide (including mnemonics, tricks, etc.). Every few slides, we will pause for a pop quiz. Finally, once the lesson is over, I will provide you with a quiz/mini-test to assure the both of us that you walk away feeling confident...

...in biology, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, trigonometry, calculus, psychology, sociology, and lab sciences. I have also recently taken the new MCAT and believe that I can teach my tools for success to any pre-student willing to learn them. I have been a teaching assistant for both General Chemistry I and II for two semesters each and have taught CPR, AED, First Aid to Salt Lake City Citizens. I have always enjoyed teaching, specifically being able to...

...a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. My approach with these tests emphasizes strategy over content; a particular vocabulary word may or may not appear on the actual test, but knowledge of how to approach a passage and its correlated questions will help regardless of content.... I like to...

...understand about the subject matter and try to relate the new and difficult concepts based on that. I also use different examples, diagrams and role plays to make things easier. I encourage interactive learning styles. I enjoy tutoring and love to see my student make it through their exams and become successful. I am very dedicated to see all my students reach to their goals and I work hard to get them there.

...struggles. I enjoy interacting with students and seeing them improve academically as it gives me a lot of self-satisfaction. I enjoy teaching chemistry, physics and mathematics the most. I have many teaching strategies that I tend to implement in my tutoring sessions, and they have proved effective during my teaching career. I choose to interact with the family of the student and continually update them on the status of their student, as I believe that...
