Award-Winning Microbiology Tutors serving Delaware County, PA

...I am currently taking a year off between hopefully matriculating into medical school fall of 2016. I have done extensive coursework in biology, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, trigonometry, calculus, psychology, sociology, and lab sciences. I have also recently taken the new MCAT and believe that I can teach my tools for success to any pre-student willing to learn them. I have been a teaching assistant for both General Chemistry I and II for two semesters each...

...For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. My approach with these tests emphasizes strategy over content; a particular vocabulary word may or may not appear on the actual test, but knowledge of...

As an English major, I took pride in helping fellow students and aspiring writers to refine their thoughts and ideas in essays and creative compositions alike. In my current position as a laboratory technician...

...for the majority of my life via church ministries, school programs, and in the workplace. I have tutored students successfully and I am ready to dive into a more formal program where I can engage with students on an academic level even more. My philosophy for learning is repetition, motivation, and confidence. And above all of these things, leaning must be enjoyable and fun. Stressful learning will get students nowhere. When I work with children,...

It is so fascinating that something as small as a virus or bacteria can wreck...

...tutoring is seeing the growth in the students I work with and being a part of their success. Every one of us has a life to manage outside of school, which can make it difficult to keep up with school and life at the same time.

I believe that everyone learns differently, and therefore, a key fundamental in tutoring is first discovering what kind of learner one is teaching....

...puzzle pieces fitting together, made me want others to share that feeling. In middle school I began teaching English to recent immigrants in my town and translating for international campers at my YMCA summer job. I began tutoring and editing papers and college essays for my peers in high school; I loved the opportunity to revise their work. I became a teaching assistant while at Franklin & Marshall College in both the Neuroscience and Chemistry...

...goes, "oh, I've never thought of it that way before - now it all makes sense." In addition, often times I feel the education system here is misunderstood and students spend too much time memorizing "steps" to a subject rather than learning it, and inevitably end up failing when they are required to utilize the knowledge in future, more advanced work. In my experience, proper explanations toward understand subjects builds a much more lasting impression...

...I employed myself as an MCAT tutor, providing educational tutoring as well as test-taking and time-management skills coaching. As a medical intern, one responsibility consisted of simultaneously directing the teaching of medical school students and outpatients coming to the various subspecialty clinics for educational workshops.

...for the SAT and MCAT, as well as high school Science, Writing, and Math classes. My greatest strength as a tutor is my ability to simplify abstract concepts using analogies and real-life comparisons so that anybody can learn them. Showing students how their studies relate to the rest of the world is the best way to create long term interest and understanding. My main focus is typically "teaching toward the test," as making sure my...

...students how topics can expand beyond the borders of the classroom, also by using a variety of visuals and models. Sometimes, certain students need more than just good analogies and thorough explanations to help them succeed, and this often requires learning effective organizational and study skills.
