Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving St. Charles, MO

...and on the Pre-Med track. I've had a wide variety of experiences both tutoring and being tutored so I know the stresses and obstacles of both parties. I started tutoring without pay earlier in my college career at an organization called UrbanFuture that helps underprivileged students after school to increase their skills in mathematics, reading, and other academic subjects. Ultimately, the middle school program is geared toward preparing the students for the nationally standardized MAP...

The importance of one-on-one experiences is critical for students trying to master difficult content. Equally important is for students to gain the confidence necessary to tackle and conquer challenges in situations where they are required to work independently. It is important that tutors give students the tools to solve these problems without actually completing the work for them.

...enjoy tutoring. Perception and problem solving are integral parts of tutoring. In my view, to be an effective tutor, one needs to be able to perceive the problems a student is having, and then figure out a way to work with the student to find ways around his or her difficulties. And then there was the reward of the student actually gaining knowledge and understanding of a topic. There was always a good feeling when...

...when I am focused on my client's individual needs and adapting my techniques (or even creating new ones) so that you get the most out of our one-on-one sessions! I specialize in ACT prep, but I enjoy working with students in other subjects as well, especially the sciences and language arts. I have experience working with students from elementary through high school, as well as with below-average, typical, and high-achieving students. I love working with...

...to teaching because in my experience students are far more willing to learn when seemingly arcane subjects can be tied into their day to day life and their relevance concretely demonstrated. I delight in finding and applying these connections, and I look forward to teaching others to find them as well. In my free time I enjoy playing badminton and bicycling. I also enjoy cooking and exploring local restaurants around town with my friends.... Get to...

...essays, as English has always been a strong suit of mine. I can tutor in several subjects, but Biology will always my passion. In my journey to become a physician, I understand how important academics are and the impact someone can have just by helping. There are techniques that I use to problem-solve all the time because certain professors took the time with me. Those techniques are what I hope to pass on to fellow...

...a medical background. I love everything to do with biology and am open to all disciplines of that science; along with biology, I am a proficient writer and would be glad to assist anyone struggling with essay writing or needing help with literature analysis.

...taught by engaging in small projects and experiments rather than through lecture. During my time at Truman I conducted research in psychology on two different research teams. With one team I studied the effects that heart rate has on one's physical and mental health. On the other team I helped to conduct research on cognitive effects of subliminal priming. In high school I competed for my school's debate and forensics team and also took part...

...anatomy and physiology. I am now a first year medical student at Saint Louis University. My teaching style centers around the student mastering basic principles and then learning to combine and apply those basic principles to answer questions that, at first glance, appear far more complex than they actually are. This is particularly useful in timed testing situations such as the MCAT and ACT, when the chances of remembering a specific example of a complicated...

...GRE, ACT and ISEE test preparation, as well as Chemistry and World History. My favorite subject to tutor is standardized test preparation because I find it rewarding to see someone's score improve.

My hobbies include yoga, reading, going to the movies, spending time with family and friends and playing with my dog.
