Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving Warwick, RI

...working with them and alongside them, and found it to be a very rewarding job. I realized everybody comes to tutoring with different objectives, skill sets, backgrounds, and personalities and that every session required me to connect with the student on an even playing field and explore their knowledge and capabilities so that together we can identify the things that are giving them trouble, and try to address them. I recognize that to be a...

...tough class can crush a student's innate curiosity, but a good tutor can restore it. I currently tutor students in the social and biological sciences (elementary school through college level), reading and writing, and in standardized test preparation. I am also an avid debater, and coach debate at a high school in Providence, RI. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy creative writing, singing, painting, horseback riding, skiing, hiking, and traveling. My dream is to...

...them and putting a different spin on concepts in order to make those concepts clear. I've also worked with GED prep students who are working out information anew. I have a background in psychiatry, which serves as a testament to the patient, non-judgmental approach that I bring to every interaction. I enjoy medicine and I enjoy people, and therefore also enjoy sharing information and coming up with new ways to present medical concepts. I know...

I like to fit my teaching style to the specific needs of my students and find out which style is most effective for them. Each student is unique and each one learns differently, that's what makes tutoring so exciting for me! I love getting to know my students and working with...

...medical school courses at Harvard Medical School. I know what it's like to encounter a difficult subject, and the frustration with having to study for a particular exam, or for a course that is uninteresting but a prerequisite, which is why I have developed methods over the years to effectively study the material while enjoying the process. Studying can and should be entertaining, and that makes retaining the material easier, and taking the test or...

...the 2 years of my service and to see their growth and improvement was incredibly rewarding. I myself am a student again, working towards my doctorate in Physical Therapy at Boston University. But I miss the connections I had to my students in Burkina Faso and I am excited about the opportunity to work with students locally to help each student achieve his or her full potential. With my graduate level coursework in Physical Therapy...

...genuine interest in the subject. I recognize the grave importance of instilling scientific knowledge in our future generations, so it is my goal to help students overcome any struggles or intimidation of the subject. I aim to do this by encouraging the same interest and curiosity in the subject that has lead me to pursue a career in biology. I believe that the key to conquering all things science is to be curious about the...

...and have always received high ratings. My students do very well on their exams! My qualifications are extensive, and include two undergraduate degrees (Zoology and Botany), and a Ph.D. in Biology from the University of California at San Diego, where I specialized in neuroscience. I have taught introductory biology, genetics, physiology, microbiology, neurobiology, botany, and zoology. In terms of availability for tutoring, I can be available for up to 15 hours per week, year round....

...of the sciences that do not receive enough discussion or attention. If I had to select an area of inquiry that is the most exciting it would be where the Humanities and Natural Sciences merge. I am thrilled to be constantly adding interdisciplinary approaches to my toolkit whether the discipline is history, literature, ethics, biology, pathology, technology, archaeology, or anthropology. The last two semesters I have functioned in the role of a Teaching Assistant for...

...public high school, where I realized that my true passion is sharing my knowledge and sparking an interest in science for my students! I have taught biology at the high school level for three years, and have tutored students at various levels and branches of biology as well. I also teach biology for a program in Boston called Classroom At The Workplace where I work with many English language learners. My experiences in and out...

...numerous undergraduate and graduate students, teaching them basics of cell biology and variety of laboratory techniques. My students received scholarships for Ph.D. programs in prestigious universities across the United States, such as University of Pittsburg, University of Utah, Brown and Northwestern Universities. Beyond teaching University students, I used to work with high school students, leading an extra-curriculum club in biology, as well as coaching them for science Olympiads. I am also nature enthusiast, and four-season...

...refugees, as well as worked with high school students from the Atlanta area. While I enjoy tutoring many subjects, I am most passionate about Classical and English Literature and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. In my experiences assisting students with tough concepts, I always try to cater to the student's best learning style and work to make the material approachable, engaging and relevant. I believe that learning how to learn and loving to learn are critical...

...and Biology. Furthermore, after being inducted in the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society at BU, I led tutoring sessions specifically geared to Engineering principles such as mechanics, physics, and mathematics. As an engineer, my favorite subjects to study are High School to College Mathematics as well as the Sciences (Physics, Chemisty, Biology) because it gives the mind a great workout! I am a generally upbeat and motivated individual which is essentially translated to my...

...they both have discernible patterns within the material which leads to a better understanding as one builds new topics on previous ones. I have found that students have the most success in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they become second nature. Like the subjects that I teach, I believe that education is an ongoing and ever-growing...

...day you will continue this cycle. I have had tutored and taught many students, just like you. Some of them are now graduate students and even postdoctoral fellows. I am proud of them and this is the feeling that inspires me for teaching. My teaching strategy is based on a simple concept: Understand not memorize. This may seem obvious but unfortunately sometimes the education system is not based on this key idea. I am here...

...and old. This is the basis of my desire to attend 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...

...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 them achieve their potential. Tutoring allows me to keep my skills in the sciences fresh, while helping other students. I am passionate about the sciences and like to apply concepts I learn in class to real life situations. In my first year of...

...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 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...

...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 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,...

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...
