Carefully selected, highly-credentialed Science tutors in McKinney, TX
"I had a knack for helping kids remember their moves through catchphrases and alternate explanations of how the movement was supposed to work. I carried that over to my tutoring, where I would aid friends by coming up with mnemonic devices and extended metaphors that allowed them to understand the concepts better. Also, the opportunity to work with students one-on-one really gave me insight into their learning style, and I could adapt my teaching to whatever suited them best. Though I majored in the social sciences, math has always been a fun hobby of mine." ...

"
When I first meet with a new student I talk with them to find out what they understand and what they are having trouble understanding. We review previous assignments, graded tests, labs, and quizzes. From there we work together to find study methods that best fit their learning style. We address the trouble spots and work on understanding from many levels."

"What I've enjoyed most about tutoring individual students and aspiring scientists is finding the example or route that gains traction with them - in science, no one approach fits all minds. This creative practice - be it exercised through a power-point or a fun but apt metaphor - helps me master the subject myself. I have had tutors myself over the years, and my academic career has not been a breezy series of A+s, so I understand - and have patience for - struggling students. I am comfortable working with all students - the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to the hunched-over and hobbled, the young pupils to the world-weary graduates. I ...

"Interaction between the two serves as an impetus for understanding and motivation for success. Over the years, since began tutoring in high school, I have gained experience tutoring students from Kindergarten-12th grade as well on the college level. I have learned that a tutor is not only a guide, but a friend who helps in the learning process. I am a tutor who understands the way students think and perceive; this assists me in making science and mathematics and reading understandable. My aim is to help students reach their fullest potential and ultimately become mature self-learners. I enjoy working with students of all ages, and ...

"I feel it's my duty to pass on what I've learned throughout my high school and college experiences. I'm well-versed writing personal essays, taking admissions tests, critically analyzing literature, and everything in between. Now, these can be very daunting tasks for some students - but that doesn't have to be the case!
Maybe your student isn't quite at that college preparation stage. Is it British Realism that's giving your student more problems than a Rubik's Cube? I can help them to understand where each poetic piece goes."

"Rather than just learning the theory behind courses like calculus, differential equations, and mechanics, I've had to actually apply these concepts to real world problems. Because of this, I have developed a better understanding of how to approach difficult math problems and how to make them easier using tips and tricks. In addition to working with college engineering students, I also taught high school mathematics, physics, and chemistry to 8th and 9th graders for two summers with the Duke University Talent Identification Program. This experience was great for me because it taught me to be creative with lesson planning: I now know ...

"Since I attained my black belt nine years ago, I have been instructing karate students of all ages. My teaching experience in karate has given me the confidence and patience necessary to be a great academic tutor. When I am tutoring, I like to maintain an interactive session in which not only am I providing instruction, but the student provides feedback to show a firm understanding of the material. The student controls the pace of the session, and I adjust to the student's ability to grasp the concepts. If the student is struggling with a specific problem, I will explain how to solve the problem and guide the student through a similar problem ...

" When I’m not tutoring or studying I enjoy indulging in one of my many hobbies. Some of them are drawing, sculpting, reading, swimming, and even rock climbing! Recently I’ve also started learning to dance merrengue, bachata, and salsa! While I’m not an expert yet, I still really have fun dancing at a number of different live band clubs all around the DFW! I tutored students of a vast age group ranging from 9 to well over 40. I tutored students in many subjects including mathematics up to and including calculus; biology of all levels; physics; and chemistry. I find that what makes me a great tutor is my passion for what I’m teaching." ...
