Evolution Tutoring FAQ
How do species change over time and what are the factors that determine why they change in the ways that they do? When Charles Darwin set sail on the HMS Beagle in December of 1831, little did he know the observations he would make of finches and other creatures on the Galapagos Islands would help him express his theory of natural selection, which would in turn help scientists answer those key questions. Darwin wasn't alone in investigating how species changed. Other scientists like Lamarck and Wallace were beginning to come to very similar conclusions. Before long, the developing concept of evolution by natural selection was in the cultural spotlight.
The tenets of evolution have helped us better understand the natural world for nearly two centuries. Evolution and its implications have come to inform an important part of coursework in biology, genetic engineering, paleontology, and animal husbandry, among numerous other disciplines. If you need to learn the basic concepts underlying evolution for your introductory biology or ecology course, private biology tutors are ready to help you understand this broad and important scientific principle. From Darwin to Mendel, tutors have mastered the studies of the theorists who have shaped evolutionary science. Whatever your current level of scientific knowledge, your tutor can design a curriculum that addresses just the concepts that confuse you, which allows sessions to be challenging without becoming overwhelming.
Tutors come prepared with helpful analogies and relatable examples to make evolutionary concepts less abstract and more concrete. You can spend as much time on a concept as it takes for you to fully understand it. There's no pressure to keep up with your biology class or slow down because you understand something more quickly than your peers. Your evolution tutoring can take place when and where it best fits into your schedule, making it not only efficient, but convenient as well. Both in-person sessions and face-to-face online sessions through our live learning platform are options.
One of the key benefits of tutoring is receiving personalized lesson plans. Tutoring offers students a more individualized, systematic, and structured learning experience. Learners can work at their own pace, ask questions at any given time, and dive into subjects with greater detail. The job of the tutor is to convey the course information as best as they can to make it relatable in terms that the student can understand. Tutoring increases the opportunity to reinforce the lessons, making the material more impactful and durable.
Intensive practice is available for students who need it. Increasing the understanding of a subject area, such as evolution, has a positive impact on a learner's self-esteem. Accordingly, success begets more success. Naturally, the end goal is to improve academic performance. When working with well-qualified tutors, students can receive the attention and instruction they need to perform better on homework assignments and tests. Having additional support in your corner can make all of the difference.

Recent Evolution Tutoring Session Notes
The student and I continued to review his genetics chapter in this section. He is very good at drawing out a Punnett square and figuring out the resulting genotypes. Where he most often runs into trouble is distinguishing a genotype ratio from a phenotype ratio - in other words, understanding the percent of individuals who have a certain genotype and why those percents might differ when it comes to phenotype. We reviewed this in several problems and I hope he has a better understanding of it now. We also reviewed incomplete dominance and co-dominance, including their possible ratios and how each differs.
Topics in this session included differences between meiosis and mitosis, ploidy number in each step (interphase, prophase, etc.), and a basic overview of our next topic we will discuss: plants.
This first session with the student went well. I think she will benefit from not only someone to review biology concepts with her and talk through examples, but also from study skills advice. I tried to integrate both into our first meeting and I hope that it helped her! We mainly discussed review topics for her upcoming test that spanned genetic shift, how to read relationships between different species, and the probability of different genetic mixes and phenotype outcomes.
Today the student had a ton of biology homework, working on protists and fungi. We discussed cellular function and organelles, structure, eating habits, and environmental significance of the different types of protists and fungi.
Today we reviewed resting potential, action potentials, and neurotransmitter release. The student drew out a diagram of the action potential which will be very helpful in solidifying information. I also lent her a diagram of the nephron I think she would find very helpful. Overall, great session.
Today we worked on two assignments. The first was monohybrid crosses and we established a system of thinking systematically through the problem so as not to get overwhelmed by the information in the problem. She seemed to understand Punnett squares and just needed to work through the problems systematically. After several problems, she asked to switch to the cancer worksheet because she felt it would be a more productive use of time. The cancer worksheet consisted of reading paragraphs about cell division and summarizing each paragraph in one sentence when given a prompt. She stated that she has difficulty with the big picture and not getting caught up in details, so I tried several methods to help her including highlighting, color coding, and taking the worksheet away and asking her to explain the concepts to me in plain conversation. She is a very bright girl and I am excited to continue working with her.
