Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving Boulder, CO

...I have spent my time going through the medical school application process. During the upcoming year, I hope to help tutor those still in school not only to keep on my toes academically, but to help those who may be struggling with various subjects throughout their academic careers. There is no better feeling than watching someone have a eureka moment of understanding, and I look forward to meeting and working with new students. As a...

...I got my start in tutoring during my undergraduate studies at DU. I was a camp counselor with a summer camp for high schoolers. The camp focused on Chemistry and Math. Afterwards, I taught PCAT review classes. My personal tutoring style involves pieces of the Socratic method; I use questions and the student's knowledge of the subject to walk through a subject piece by piece. I am patient and always willing to approach a problem...

Tutoring any student is a great privilege and opportunity to nurture and guide individuals as they embark on the great adventure which is the advancement of their education, a task which I do not take lightly. I had to make a choice in picking my major, and I chose for it to be in the field of science. However, my strongest subject is math, although in my heart I love science, math,...

I am a recent college graduate with previous experience tutoring NCAA athletes in a variety of subjects.

I also received a Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences from University of North...

...order to be able to apply them fluidly when problem-solving. I have studied, enjoyed, and done well in psychology, biology (cell, molecular, genetics), chemistry, physiology, physics, anatomy, and more. As I move forward to make a career out of science, I trust that I have learned the material well and am able to apply and teach it. I have taken several AP courses and exams in these areas as well, and I am able to...

...is one that feels like a conversation. By creating a dynamic atmosphere between Tutor and student, the student will be able to truly understand the material.

I personally understand the everyday challenges that student athletes must overcome and I can tailor my approach to best fit their...

...have provided, and the confidence that patients have in me is a great inspiration to become a doctor. I can not count all of the patients who have said that I will be a great doctor; some patients tell me this every time they see me. I remember a discussion with a patient who was a retired dentist. He had decided to pursue dental school instead of medical school because he was interested in working...

We will work together to make you successful and feel positively confident that you can receive the grades and knowledge you are...

...I believe a great tutor not 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...

...of the time the problems we will tackle together will be difficult or confusing, and I will guide our work to hone in on exactly where the difficulty lies. While working to use our time efficiently, I also believe that an intense, lecture-driven approach is rarely conducive to fostering an atmosphere of curiosity and willingness to try. Therefore, I will regularly solicit feedback, encourage questions, and assess what methods work best for you so that...

While there, I completed a course in mountain medicine. I've also bungy jumped on three continents and have plans to do the remaining three (does Antarctica even...

...example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as 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...
