Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving Connecticut

...subject areas. At Boston College, I tutored numerous students in the sciences and lab sections while developing personalized tutoring sessions to meet each students' needs. I was a Teaching Assistant for an introductory biology lab course at BC and also conducted independent malaria research in a genetics lab. Outside of tutoring, I am an avid tennis player and also enjoy volleyball and skiing. I am happy to be back in Connecticut this year and hope...

...aspects of nutrition and human biology. In addition to my current position, I am looking to widen and share my experiences for tutoring biology and science through Varsity Tutors. My experience began with helping my younger brother with his homework and has grown and developed through various tutoring and mentor positions in high school and college. I have passionately been providing educational support to a variety of grades and subjects for over 5 years. I...

...main objective when guiding students, whether their goal is to determine a fitting career path, ace an in-class exam, or prepare for a grueling standardized test, is to instill self-confidence in them. I try to not only help them develop lifelong critical-thinking skills, but also urge them to assertively believe in their personal abilities. If students dedicate themselves fully to the task at hand and have the genuine desire to succeed, then I think they...

...help. I can keep a child engaged and keep to the subject matter. My strong suits are the basic sciences of Chemistry and Physics as well as Mathematics. I have taught the essentials of mechanics and engineering using Lego and I have taught the basics of civics and business as a Junior Achievement teacher in the upper elementary schools. I worked with adults as an English as a Second Language Teacher as well.

Teaching has been of passion of mine since I began college. Helping others learn the subjects that I used to struggle through is something I enjoy doing. I graduated from The University of Connecticut in Storrs with a degree in Biology. I have an great background in mathematics, physics, and biology. If there is something I do not understand I will work my hardest to learn what it is I need to. ... I believe anyone...

...As a sophomore I began as a teachers assist for general biology, in my junior year I became a teachers assistant for anatomy and physiology while still being a teachers assistant for general biology, and in my senior year I became a teachers assistant for biochemistry while still being a teachers assistant for general biology and anatomy and physiology. In these classes my basic duties included supervising, mentoring and assisting students during a laboratory session,...

...perfect opportunity for me to share my passion for science and gain valuable teaching experience. The two things that make me a great tutor are my deep understanding of biology and my ability to communicate complex concepts in ways that are easy to understand. My passion for science and education also makes my tutoring sessions a lot of fun for my students. Outside of tutoring I love being active and outside. I am desperately trying...

...a room with more kids was not on my life agenda. I attended UCONN and graduated with a BS in Agriculture (CANR). I've done many jobs in my life (milking cows, counseling the unemployed, supervising summer work crews, guiding trail rides...) and, oddly enough, they all involved teaching in some way. Well, not the cows, but THEY taught ME a lot about patience. When I left dairy work for health reasons, my cousin suggested substitute...

...no better way to do this than through tutoring. I recently graduated from Georgetown University (Summa Cum Laude) with a B.S. in Human Science and a minor in Music. This Fall, I will be starting a Masters program in Music History at the Hartt School of Music. Throughout college, I took multiple upper-level courses in the basic sciences and music, and would be capable of tutoring in these fields. My strongest subjects are music history/theory...

...Biomedical Engineering. I have been tutoring for four years in a professional setting and seven years on a volunteer basis, specializing in math and science education. I also worked as a curriculum designer for an SAT tutoring firm. I enjoy tutoring because I am strongly against the practice of teaching to the lowest common denominator of students and I believe that every student is entitled to a teacher that will personalize their curriculum and teaching...

...may lead to cancer. I then moved into the industry with multiple biotechnology companies and worked my way up from a bench scientist to a senior management role over the last 16+ years. I have worked to develop vaccines, gene therapies, and needed research reagents and tools. I bring to tutoring the experience and interactions I’ve had from being mentored and trained myself to the mentoring I’ve done to those I’ve supervised in their career...

...challenged by the very same people we are trying to teach. In doing so, as tutors , we are constantly reminded on the need to stay current, to continuously strive to add more to our arsenal of information and to simultaneously be prepared to reinvent oneself in a very short period of time. It is my belief that that is what it takes to be a competent tutor. It is also my belief that I...

...Biology and a minor in Chemistry. In addition to tutoring math and science, I also greatly enjoy helping students with SAT prep and college essay writing. I worked as a writing tutor for undergraduates for several years and have received extensive professional training in this capacity. I personalize my sessions to match each student's unique learning style and needs. I am enthusiastic about empowering each student to reach his or her full academic potential!

...minor in Chemistry. During my four years at Sacred Heart University I also had the great honor of being a D1 athlete on the Track and Field Team. I have always had a love for the sciences and enjoy teaching these subjects as well. While I was at Sacred Heart University I was able to tutor in Pre-Calculus and also Physics I and II. Students would come to me with any questions they had on...

...Diseases. I then went on to complete a Masters program at Georgetown University in human physiology. Given the amount of schooling I have gone through myself, I have taken a wide range of subjects and more standardized tests than I would like to admit. I have taught students of almost every age in various fields such as elementary science, Hebrew, chemistry, MCAT prep, and many more.. My ultimate plan is to go to medical school,...

...for the Biology Department at my university. I ran weekly tutorial sessions for students taking Genetics. Then, after my junior year of college, I also began working for the Physics Department as an exam proctor and weekly quiz grader for the General Physics I & II courses. I was also available for tutoring for students taking the course. I really enjoy working with students of all different learning styles and creating a plan that helps...

...(three years of biology, a full year of organic chemistry, biochemistry, etc.), and my favorite subjects are math, physiology, and writing. I love teaching! I am a registered college science tutor at USC, and I also teach younger students at a weekly Girl Scout program in Watts. In high school, I tutored for the SAT as well as teaching swimming lessons for over four years, so I am very confident in my ability to make...

...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 teach one-on-one. Connecting with students, making them feel comfortable to express...

...medical school. Taking a human physiology class in the spring semester of my junior year of college was the initial catalyst that led to my decision to become a doctor. I had been following my interests up to that point, and my interest in studying the human body started me on the path that I am on today. While I did not begin my journey with an ambition to become a doctor, experiences throughout my...

...year-long tenure there only deepened my love of teaching and helped me strengthen my abilities to educate many different styles of learners. I also have the experience with graduate standardized testing, as I scored in the 95th percentile or above on the SAT, ACT, and MCAT. Since graduating in May with two degrees in biology and psychology, I have spent my time going through the medical school application process. During the upcoming year, I hope...
