Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Westbrook, CT

I hold a Ph.D. in biomedical science - focused on molecular virology. I believe that stimulating conversation and allowing people to arrive at answers on their own and through experience is the best way to form lasting connections. I took a variety of Biology classes and Labs at WPI mostly focused on Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics. I recently finished my PH.D. where I studied control of viral gene expression. This work encompassed a variety of biological disciplines including virology, cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and molecular genetics, all of which I am quite experienced in. I also have experience teaching in a seminar format as well as in small groups. As a senior graduate student I was responsible for leading discussions prior to invited speaker seminars.

I have tutored high school students who are college bound during my undergraduate years at William Paterson University of New Jersey. I also tutored my fellow undergraduates. I then pursued a doctorate and was active in many peer study groups where were tutored each other in neuroscience and organic chemistry. I have a love for science which shows through my enthusiasm in imparting scientific knowledge to others. My style is dependent on the student. While the end result is having a student understand the material, the way of achieving this varies with each person. Some students require a lot of hand holding while some require a more hands off approach. To achieve understanding I will cater to the students needs.

I have been fortunate to teach biology to undergraduates for nearly forty years. I am passionate about making sure my students not only excel in the courses they take, but are prepared for a world in which the biosciences (especially the molecular biology of the genome & DNA!)will form the basis of medicine, the pharmaceutical industry, and major technological breakthroughs in environmental science. While I'm dedicated to helping my students learn how to handle multiple choice and standardized tests, I'm also committed to making sure they can communicate their understanding in essay/term paper form. If they can't clearly express what they have learned,then they aren't likely to credited with the understanding they have achieved! I believe that teaching students how to write about biology is an integral part of my job, along with sharing joyfully in their curiosity (and my own!!).

My teaching style depends on the student. I am comfortable with trying different study methods in order to figure out why my student is having trouble with a particular subject. I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I love being able to help students feel comfortable with the material they are studying. I have tutored numerous times throughout college, and would like to get back into tutoring students because I find it to be rewarding. As a student who went from living in Germany and being taught that there are many ways of getting the right answer, to moving to America where everything is taught in one way, I have learned to incorporate my tutoring skills to the need of each individual student. I try to figure out what works best for every individual and help them focus on their strength and improve their weaknesses.

At Stonehill, I developed a love for teaching and helping students work through difficult problems until the material “clicks”. I have an enthusiasm for the sciences that comes through and from my own personal experiences, I know how much a teacher/mentor figure can make in a student’s life.I try to convey the material in multiple ways to make it more understandable and relatable. I believe in guiding students to the correct answer,even if it means going astray,rather than solving problems for them,as this allows for the development of independent thinking and learning. I am patient and dedicated and believe that education is critical and that everyone should have the chance to succeed at it. I received my B.S. in Biology with Honors and was the highest ranking graduate in the sciences.The courses I have excelled in include Bio Principles,General/Organic Chem,Biochem,Cell Bio, Genetics,I

I am a former UConn graduate (1984) with a BS in Marketing. Many of my electives were in mathematics, enabling me to work as a student tutor on campus. I have also completed coursework in anatomy and physiology. In addition to tutoring college level students I have worked with elementary and middle school children in church youth groups, assisting with bible verse memorization and reading skills,as well as staging music productions. My experience also includes homeschooling my own children and assisting in classrooms. My teaching style is relaxed, but focused. I believe all children can be natural learners, especially when they find something that interests them. Patience is the key with children. Every child has their own pace and learning style. Some are very visual learners while others need to be able to be more hands-on. It is very rewarding helping someone succeed.

I believe in tailoring my teaching style to individual students that I tutor. The two most important techniques I have used are translating academic concepts into everyday examples that students can readily understand and using positive reinforcement to help them towards their goals. Especially in the fields of math and science, I have found that learning by analogy and real world examples provides the surest path towards success. Having an excellent and extensive educational track record, I feel I am well positioned to assist current students achieve their goals. I have a JD from NYU School of Law, which helped me master such skills as reading comprehension, analytical thinking and persuasive writing. I have an MS from Yale University and a BS from William and Mary in chemistry (with a focus on organic chemistry) which has provided me with broad experience in the fields of math and

I take a creative approach to learning and cater to each student's unique learning style. I assess their knowledge base, and I make learning fun by explaining and developing ideas in a way they prefer and in a way they best learn from. I have a warm, caring personality, and I try to approach any set of challenges in a cheerful light. I also like to instill confidence within my students whenever possible. For instance, the student and I work together through problems giving them a greater sense of ownership of their knowledge and abilities, in comparison to just being told the answer. I received my BS in civil engineering from a liberal arts university in Boston, MA ranked among the Top 30 universities in the nation, according to US News. My well-rounded education gave me the skills to communicate mathematical ideas and science concepts to any audience, including children. Now I am pursui
