What can a microbiology tutor teach you?

Microbiology is a specific branch of biology that deals with many of the same topics that you would see in an ordinary biology class. It is usually studied at a university level and with most sciences at that level, it can be very difficult. Especially, for people adapting to university for the first time. You can expect to learn about common microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites from your microbiology tutor. These little “living” things are ever present everywhere on Earth, that includes the air, soil and water. As a result, they are constantly interacting with our body and are in fact very important to the functioning of our bodies. Researching these little creatures can have impacts on medicine, general science, preservation and even technology. You can expect a microbiologist tutor to help you with your studies, they can explore topics more in-depth or can simply help you to understand difficult concepts, they are great study aids and can also conduct experiments and observations with you to ensure that you’re not doing anything wildly wrong.

What skills are good for microbiology?

Microbiology is a science and can be very theoretical or practical, therefore there are a lot of necessary skills to excel in this subject. If you have a strong curiosity and genuine passion for discovery in general, you will do very well in science. A good microbiologist is always asking questions and wondering why things function in the way they do. A good microbiologist is also patient and persistent. Experiments can be tedious and repetitive but it's important they’re conducted properly otherwise they’re useless! A quality microbiology tutor can instill these principles and skills into you but if you already have them to some degree, it can only help you. Research and science in general also require a lot of critical thinking, analysis and problem-solving skills. It is after all the discipline of expanding knowledge. Attention to detail is a necessity as that is a skill that will be used constantly, for note-taking and experimentation.

Is it worth paying for a microbiology tutor?

A tutor has the benefit of being flexible and you can cancel at any moment but nonetheless, it is quite a few steps above asking friends or a teacher for help.
