Biology is one of my top subjects! B.S. in Science (Life Science Option) from Penn State University, graduating with Distinction; Extensive education in Anatomy, Physiology, Biology, and Chemistry; Tutor for Penn State University in Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, and Math; Currently attending Touro University Nevada - College of Osteopathic Medicine, working toward my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.

I graduated from Penn State University in the Fall of 2010, earning my B.S. in Science (Life Science Option). My degree very closely related to the typical Biology degree; however, mine afforded me the ability to specifically tailor my upper level courses to focus more heavily on Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, and medically related Biology courses. While in college I worked as a tutor for Penn State and I also earned my paramedic certification and have nearly three years experience working in the field as a paramedic, allowing me to bring real world (medical) applications to many of the basic sciences. I moved to Henderson, NV recently to begin medical school.
I enjoy incorporating visual representations of the subject matter as well as using real world examples to solidify the information. As a college graduate and aspiring physician I am also fond of mnemonics as tools helpful ... read more

My comments on tutoring Biology : Biology is one of those subjects that is taught in what seems like every grade and college as well, with the subject matter increasing in difficulty every year. I believe, in fact, that this method is the most effective that we currently have. But there are many problems that have left so many students behind. The source of the problem is that if a student has one single semester that they do poorly in Biology for whatever reason, it creates an endless loop of failure because for that student, they are way behind during the next year of Biology and therefore fail or barely pass that semester or year of Biology again, and that vicious cycle just revolves again and again. That is why private tutoring must pick up the slack and make sure that every student catches up to where they are scheduled to be until we can make some changes to our educational system.

I consider myself to be a uniquely seasoned, qualified, and experienced tutor who can adapt to any situation and to any student in order to benefit their education and learning experience. Due to my ability to teach and tutor children and adults of all ages, (in addition to my own near-perfect scores on the SAT & ACT) I was one of the first Instructors hired by PrepExpert, a national company that specializes in preparing students for the SAT, ACT, AP, other exams, and simply for help in regular classes at all levels. This company is so successful and growing so fast because of the unparalleled improvements among students that it recently appeared on ABC's show "Shark Tank," during which Mark Cuban was impressed enough to buy a substantial stake in the company and is a current partner.

A Little Bit About Me...

I always begin by reinforcing the basic and main principles first. I believe that a good education begins with a strong foundation. At that point it gets interesting as we can propose real life scenarios, change variables, and add in new information. Every child learns differently, which is why I also make a point to observe how he/she responds to my technique. As individuals with specific needs, they sometimes need more creative approaches. Whatever the situation, I have the ability to appeal to them with patience and support.
I graduated in May 2001 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. In college I took a variety of courses but focused on the sciences. I became a Resident Assistant in my second year and remained one through the end of college. My responsibilities were to enforce the school's policies while being available to the dorm students for support and indivi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Over the past fifteen years, most of my teaching skills have been in non-traditional settings. Providing education for diverse age populations in the area of community programs taught me a multitude of instructional strategies. In 2001, the lead special education teacher at a high school asked me to offer assistance. I was able to observe different teaching styles in classroom settings and to provide individual instruction to students with varying learning styles. My most recent position at Total Education Solutions offered me the opportunity to be in a classroom setting. Although my placement was with one child, my presence and skills in teaching and behavior modification called me to work in small groups and with other individual students. I adapted therapies and curriculum in order to fit the needs of the children. Working in conjunction with the Los Angeles Unified School Dist ... read more

My teaching style is more visual than verbal. Math and science are visual arts, meaning one must see and understand a formula before it is to be solved. In my experience, merely obtaining a solution to a problem is not learning, it is the journey from unsolved question to simplified answer is true knowledge.
I have no formal experience in tutoring or teaching, however I was quite driven to achieve my goals in Nuclear Physics. My field has enabled me to gain a great understanding of math and science and how they are dependent on each other. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing countless research papers, theses, and laboratory reports, along with essays in other areas of study.

I love tutoring teens. I have been an independent tutor for five years now and have tutored in many subjects. I have the most experience tutoring algebra, English, biology, chemistry, and composition. I am in my final year at UNLV and I will be graduating with a Bachelor's degree in biology emphasis pre-professional studies and will be graduating in spring 2009 due to class availability. I will also have a minor in chemistry as well as a minor in English. I have tutored several teens in the Las Vegas Valley. I am currently tutoring a teen to understand basic math skills in order to pass the Nevada math proficiency test. For example, in math algebra is crucial to understanding all math subjects after it. Within algebra there are concepts that are repeated in geometry, trigonometry, and even calculus. I am dedicated to all the students that I tutor.
