Kathryn L - Highlands Ranch, CO 80130 (18 mi) - MCAT Tutor - $39.00/hr.
My approach to tutoring is based on the belief that science is a fun and interesting subject. I always maintain a positive attitude and attempt to teach science without being boring. I have good communication skills and can work with students in a constructive, encouraging, and non-abrasive manner. As a tutor my job is to connect with my students, make the subject interesting, and relate it to their lives in some way so they are actively involved in the learning process. In my experience this is the best way to help students become successful. Throughout my educational career I have always enjoyed science classes. Due to this proficiency I was selected as a teacher's assistant for two undergraduate Biology classes. I also took 3 science based education classes. These classes were a great experience where we worked at a local high school with three exceptional science teachers. Dur

Rachel D - Littleton, CO 80126 (18.7 mi) - MCAT Tutor - $39.00/hr.
During my time at the LRC, I developed a teaching style where I first understood the learning style of the student (i.e. visual or auditory) and then discovered why they wanted tutoring, wanted to focus on, and what they wanted to accomplish. I would then delve into the subject matter at hand, drawing, discussing, or having them draw any specific process or problem. Finally, I would have them tell me what they understood from the process that we just discussed. If I felt the student was confident in their abilities I would test them, if I found that they were not very confident in their abilities, I would discuss the lesson and confirm that they understood. In these cases, I would also try to work on their academic confidence. From September โ08 - January โ10 I was at the UCD โ LRC tutoring students in Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Biochemistry doing individual tutoring as w

Jeremiah P - Denver, CO 80223 (24.1 mi) - MCAT Tutor - $40.00/hr.
My experience as a non-traditional student has payed huge dividends not only for me, but for those I've helped during my time as a T.A. and tutor. Ten years after I finished high school I decided to begin my collegiate career. The process of learning, re-learning and brushing up on the hard sciences and mathematics has proved to provide a good background from which to explain and help others in those areas. My pursuit (and recent success) of becoming a student doctor has also allowed me to become a well rounded tutor. The experience of studying for the MCAT served to enable me to learn techniques and methods for success in stressful testing situations but also to truly absorb material, versus the temporary ability to recall information. Perhaps stemming from my time as the owner of a successful construction company, I've found that I learn best when I'm provided mental imagery, which oft

Hal A - denver, CO 80210 (24.1 mi) - MCAT Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I obtained a BA from CU at Boulder in 2004 in Psychology and Communications and I am now currently one year away from attending medical school. I have taken all the science courses required to get into medical school and have been tutored in many of them as a supplemental form of education. In my time being tutored many other students realized how much more knowledge of the subject i had gained above them that they in turn recruited me to tutor them. I have been doing that for approximately six years. I am a Visual learner/teacher, I feel it is much easier to learn when being able to visualize what is happening. Many of the sciences happen at such a microscopic level that it may be hard to comprehend what is actually happening so with larger visual aides I believe learning is much easier and less stressful.

Hayley R - Colorado Springs, CO 80921 (26.7 mi) - MCAT Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I am a recent college graduate who plans to attend medical school at some point in the future. In completing my pre-medicine requirements, I successfully completed a large number of science courses. I am also interested in writing and editing and I often assisted younger students with their papers throughout college. During the spring semester of 2006 and 2007, I was a teaching assistant for the chemistry department at St. Olaf College. My duties included setting up laboratory experiments, preparing to teach concepts relevant to those experiments, assisting students with questions, and grading their work. I have realized that the best test of whether you understand something is to be able to teach it successfully to another person. Though being prepared is not a direct part of the tutor-student interaction, it is absolutely necessary for the tutor to be prepared far beyond the basic leve

Gregory S - Denver, CO 80202 (27.4 mi) - MCAT Tutor - $41.00/hr.
As a Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology major at Emory University, a heavy science course load was complemented with a liberal arts education. This well-rounded education equipped me with the tools to tutor students in everything from organic chemistry to proofreading papers.
After graduating from school I secured a job as a kids ski instructor where I was charged with the task of educating the next generation of skiers. My extraordinary return rates indicate that I am a trustworthy and proficient teacher.
I look forward to using my teaching skills and academic background to help others get the most out of their Chemistry, Biology, Math, and English courses. A good teacher is able to recognize strengths and weaknesses in his students and create an approach that utilizes the strengths to improve the weaknesses. For instance, if somebody is having trouble grasping qualitative co

Collin P - Denver, CO 80202 (27.4 mi) - MCAT Tutor - $41.50/hr.
Teaching has become a big passion of mine, and I have taught people of all ages. Everyone learns in a different way--some visually, others verbally. I like to incorporate both into my teaching, by showing both you reinforce the topic and hit on both learn styles. After both a visual demonstration and verbal explanation I like to see the individual repeat what I just showed them. Learning anatomy is about constant repetition, and also having a solid understanding of the physiological processes involved. I am the type of teacher who likes to constantly be asking questions on previous material we covered, which is again repetition for the student. During my undergraduate career, I was privileged to enroll into the Physiology department in the College of Medicine at the University of Arizona. The University of Arizona is one of 10 schools throughout the country that offer the physiolog

Aleksandr K - Boulder, CO 80303 (39.6 mi) - MCAT Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I strongly believe in learning by doing. I have never given a lecture or taught something 1on1 without providing practice problems or peppering students with questions. The hardest part about this is getting students to understand that it is okay to ask and answer questions. Most students I have encountered are used to simply looking at the teacher but never really interacting with them. If I ask a question and nobody gets it, I rephrase it, reteach the section that led up to the question and generally try to understand why the question is not being answered. Aside from some initial amount of memorization, students need to learn how to think through concepts and ideas, and the best way to do that, regardless of subject, is ask them things. As a rising junior at Cornell University, I was asked to TA a Chemistry course for engineers. I accepted and entered into my first teaching position.
