Award-Winning Biology Tutors serving Phoenix, AZ

...this knowledge that drives me to teach and to tutor. I want to establish mentoring relationships with the students I work with, so I can help lead them to success in the same way that I was as a student. Because of this drive to give back, I've already amassed a number of prior experiences in teaching and tutoring. These experiences roughly fall into two major areas- the sciences, and the humanities. In the sciences,...

...curriculum, lesson plans, labs and assessments. Additionally I have instructed a summer school session for Advanced Algebra. I tutor K-8 all subjects, K-12 English/reading/writing, my favorites being general science, ACT Science, and Biology (honors and AP included). I love that science explains how the world around us worksfrom why the sky is blue, to why we resemble our parents. I enjoy working with all types of studentswhether they do not particularly enjoy the subject, or...

...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, reading...

...Varsity tutors to extend my reach to people who did not know me personally. My style is energetic and engaging. As a trial attorney, I routinely have to communicate complex matters to a jury that has no experience in the fields of chemistry, biology and physics. This forces me to adopt an engaging style to ensure they do not tune me out. I have three very bright children of my own that keep me on...

...Arizona Army National Guard for over four years. I have always assisted my peers in school (mostly by the request of teachers and professors) from high school and well into college. I am a nanny as well, and help the children I nanny with their schoolwork. I have tutored Math, Science, Spanish, English, etc., from elementary school through college. The reason I think I manage to be successful in helping others is that I recognize...

...effective in increasing confidence, motivation, and independence. I have experience tutoring elementary through graduate school students in a variety of different subjects. I believe that it is important to customize the learning experience by adapting my teaching style to accommodate the students learning style to maximize effectiveness. I have a BS in Psychology from Arizona State University and will be defending my thesis this fall to complete my MS in Psychology degree from ASU. My...

...post-graduation plans. After graduation, I hope to earn either a Bachelor of Science in Nursing or a Master of Science in Entry to Nursing Practice and begin work as a pediatric nurse. I decided to change my path from mathematics and physics to nursing because I perform best and feel happiest when I am working with others, which is why I am so excited to have the opportunity to be a tutor. I first realized...

...few), the sciences and math are my favorites. I 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...

I am a great math, science and writing tutor. I graduated from the University of Arizona in 2011 with BS in Psychology and a minor in Spanish. I am committed to helping students to receive better grades and challenging...

...starting a position as a laboratory assistant at the University of Michigan. My primary teaching experience has been through my undergraduate career, as I was a teacher’s assistant for an upper division biology course. Beyond my teaching assistant role, I was a resident assistant for 2 years. In this position, I guided and mentored many of my peers, be it academically or personally. My specific academic strengths are ecology, evolution, genetics, biological anthropology and archaeology....

...with special needs. I particularly enjoy tutoring mathematics, biology, and helping students prepare for standardized tests. I can also tutor in writing and reading, since I have experience as a professional copy editor. My focus when tutoring is student understanding. I believe academic goals are more readily achievable when concepts are understood, rather than formulas memorized. When helping students prepare for standardized tests I focus on taking practice exams and working with students on the...

...working for the Social Insect Research Group (SIRG) at ASU doing Genetics work on a local harvester ant species. I love research and I love teaching individuals, especially when the information I am providing is not well known. In the past I have worked in medicine as an EMT/Ski Patroller and a Medical Assistant. I truly love academia and plan to pursue a PhD and a professorship later on but it doesn't totally encapsulate my...

...broad range of problems that are applicable in real life. Biology is a fascinating subject because it is the building blocks for life. Once you understand Biology, you will understand the way everything is connected in the world. My teaching style focuses on the student's weaknesses and overcoming those weakness to become strengths for the student. In my spare time, I dance to several types (Hip-Hop, Bollywood), sing, and cook. I like to cook...

...Lab for non-science major college students from freshman to seniors. It was the experience that ultimately showed me what I was capable of sharing information and how much fun it was. Education to me is something that should be enjoyed. If one is not enjoying what they are doing, what's the point?! I love science particularly because it allows a hands on experience, where involvement and stimulation creates motivation and questions. I like to have...

...and medical school education, I tutored high school students in a variety of subjects, including Algebra, Chemistry, Biology, and Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, because it is one that students struggle with a lot, and it makes me happy to see a student grasp a concept they have worked hard to understand. I believe that there are many different ways to learn a concept, and I like to use different study methods...

...that lectures are often difficult for students to follow. They can lose confidence in subjects because the information is not presented in a way that is effective for their learning. My job is to work with students to figure out the best way to learn challenging material. This may involve breaking down complicated ideas into consumable parts, discussing concepts back and forth, or working through practice problems together. Ultimately, I believe that students should never...

...the National Honors Society; in college, I have made Dean's List both semesters, have two simultaneous Research Assistant positions, and have been nominated as an Honors Teaching Assistant in the Fall semester! Someday, I want to work in academia, both out of my love for learning new things and teaching rising students. I tutor all kinds of history, English, essay writing, ACT/SAT prep, pre-algebra and algebra, biology, and, believe it or not, classical and medieval...

...the University of Arizona College of Medicine with undergraduate degrees from Washington and Lee in chemical engineering and anthropology. I have extensive experience in tutoring and teaching since 2010, and am ready to help you with your learning needs! I focus on standardized testing (SAT/ACT) and also tutor in a wide range of math, English, and Spanish classes. In my free time, I like to run, do CrossFit, volunteer, and watch TV!

...the class material. I try to pinpoint the earliest or most basic point in a topic which is causing confusion, as grasping these points often leads to my peer or student being able to figure out later points on their own. I also strive to explain concepts in ways the student hasn't heard before, as simply repeating a lesson which confused them seems unlikely to be helpful. Outside of tutoring scientific topics, I enjoy creative...
