Award-Winning Genetics Tutors serving Washington DC

I earned my undergraduate degree in biochemistry at Brown University and my Ph.D. in immunology at the University of California, Berkeley. I have been teaching both introductory and advanced biology courses at the University of Maryland, College Park for over 10 years. For fun I enjoy reading science fiction, doing crossword puzzles, swing and ballroom dancing, and playing ultimate frisbee.... I try to bring a broad perspective to my teaching. If one approach doesn't click, then...

...graduation, I had a research internship at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in a flow cytometry lab, which specializes in research for malaria vaccine development. After my research internship ended, I began attending the University of Maryland, College Park as a post-baccalaureate student seeking a second degree in General Biology (B.S.), which I obtained in August 2016. My extensive educational background and previous research experiences at WRAIR and Johns Hopkins gave me the opportunity...

...biology and organic chemistry during my undergraduate career at Elon University. I am a first-year medical student who recently took the MCAT and successfully applied to medical school. I know how to master the material, and more importantly how to develop study techniques that lead to HIGHER scores. Hopefully, I'll be able to share my experience and perspective with any students studying for the MCAT. Thanks for the consideration! Please feel free to contact me...

...In graduate school at UNC Chapel Hill and in my professional work, I have found a niche as an editor for written and data-heavy projects, which is a role I thoroughly enjoy. My favorite students to work with are the ones who are interested in learning the material, but need some extra time outside of class to wrap their head around concepts, or just need a different take on the subject than their teacher provided...

...teaching assistant for a graduate-level molecular genetics course at Einstein. While my master's has pulled me to the "dark side" of science (i.e. chemistry), I have a special fondness for helping others succeed in biology, particularly subjects like genetics and physiology. My tutoring style is to work through problems or subjects with my student and have him or her explain how they arrived at the answer or point out what they think are important concepts....

...all levels. I have taught voice and violin lessons to students 5 years of age to adult, as well as tutored biology and chemistry at an undergraduate and high school level. I know that the path to truly understanding a subject can be bumpy and frustrating. However, if I can help inspire enthusiasm in the topic, then together, we can work through, understand, and solidify concepts. In order to accomplish this, I believe in exercising...

...derives primarily from helping friends throughout the years. In my experience, there is almost no subject out of reach of a passionate and curious mind. I therefore strive not just to communicate content, but to instill a passion that will drive self motivated learning. Whether discussing The Great Gatsby or reviewing the Navier Stokes Equations for fluid dynamics, I am excited to share my enthusiasm for learning with a younger generation. I am currently working...

...pre-medical studies. I am also a coxswain on the NYU Crew team and practice every morning, either in the gym or on the river. Since 2013, I have worked as a lifeguard, a summer camp counselor, and as a private tutor in both English and Spanish and a peer tutor in math and history. While I enjoy learning and teaching a broad range of subjects, my passion lies in social science and STEM courses.... By guiding...

...and also tutored Physiology. Having taught in classes with several hundred students, I have worked with diverse groups of individuals, each with their own unique ways of learning. I find it most effective to work with students to solidify basic concepts so that they will be better prepared for much more advanced topics. With a good foundation, they will also have fun realizing their potential and want to learn more. In my spare time, I...

...reading and writing and the way language can powerfully capture ideas and meaning. I firmly believe in establishing strong, individual working relationships with students: each student is different and each deserves a unique, specialized approach to meet his/her needs. This was very successful in my work as a high school teacher in a very low-performing school, in which I helped raise standardized test scores 20% in my first year. In my spare time, I often...

...academic needs. I have worked with students across various levels, from middle school to college, helping them develop critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of complex concepts. My approach to tutoring is centered on clarity, engagement, and adaptability. I strive to create an encouraging learning environment where students feel confident tackling challenges. I take pride in breaking down difficult topics into structured, comprehensible lessons that promote both mastery and long-term retention. Among the subjects...

...subjects I tutor are anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, biology, cell biology, college biology, genetics, high school biology, immunology, MCAT biological and biochemical foundations of living systems, medicine, microbiology, pharmacology and science. I love teaching anything biology related. I find biology extremely interesting and relevant to all aspects of life, human especially. There are so many life events that can be explained if you have a good grip on biology! I enjoy teaching others and helping...

I love helping others with processes I've found difficult at times myself. Having struggled with incompatible teaching methods, I know they can make all the difference in how successful a student is at a given assignment or in a class overall.

...for residency and have been inducted to the Alpha Omega Alpha national medical honor society. I will be available for recurring tutoring sessions in the DC area!

I love to work with students of ranges and try to be patient with them when explaining topics....

...solve problems effectively. Currently, I am taking my last classes at University of Maryland, Baltimore County before graduating in May with a B.A in Biological Sciences. I was educated extensively on Biology and Chemistry, with 20 credits in laboratory. UMBC also focuses on refining its students’ writing skills through Writing Intensive English and Science courses, preparing me to effectively communicate both verbally and in writing. I work well with students 12 and up and with...

...I am very diligent and will not stop till my student understands the material, even if that means finding a new approach to teaching the material. From my experience, I have learned that any student can learn anything, but everyone learns differently. As a tutor, I will find which teaching methods work best for the student and use those methods to help them understand the material they are having trouble with. My main goal is...

...and can be too hard on themselves at times), and walking students through a problem and challenging them a bit if they show understanding and want to go at a faster pace. I believe everyone needs time, guidance, and nourishment in order to best grow into the person they desire to be. It takes time to better yourself. Starting something new is usually difficult or easy for some, but continuing to do something that proves...
