Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors

...quality of each of these seemingly obvious steps, because the effectiveness of my method depends upon all of them working together. I insist on a minimum of three problems reviewed in one session and focus on the student adopting the method of short, very frequent review of the material, throughout the day. This technique works! Ambitious students will use this method in whatever they choose to study in the future, so the techniques they learn...

...tutor in a wide variety of subjects, I especially enjoy math and writing skills. Math was always one of my favorite subjects in school, and I enjoy the process of communicating those concepts to students. Writing is also exciting for me to tutor because I am fascinated by my students' perspectives and how to make those stronger in their own writing. In my free time, I love going to concerts and plays, reading, cooking, crossword...

...I understand it can be hard for students to find balance between academics, social life, and extra-curricular activities. I have a passion for helping students understand topics related to math and physics. I took most of the available math and physics courses offered to high school students, so I am well versed in the subject material. While I was in high school, I often tutored my peers and I always found it satisfying when a...

...Frequently, I helped younger students and friends in such classes. Additionally, I tutored at Loyola Academy, a middle school for boys from inner St. Louis City, in eighth grade mathematics. I most enjoy tutoring the sciences, especially Biology and Chemistry. I like to employ question and answer style tutoring, to review concepts and my students' understanding of the content. I enjoy learning and working through problems, and hope to pass the same passion onto my...

...will best fit their learning needs and to make each tutoring session fun. My background is in Biochemistry, Chemistry and Molecular Biology. I graduated from University of Pennsylvania in 2012 in an accelerated BA/MS program, and currently work at Harvard University as a research assistant in Developmental Biology. I have a good deal of personal experience with the competition and expectations of academics at top tier universities. I also have a Creative Writing minor and...

...of Wisconsin in Madison, I understand the gap that can form between teachers and students first hand. Combining a relational teaching style, and a strong value of education, I believe that the unique needs of every student deserve consideration and that it is the role of the tutor to find the perfect way to teach. It is my personal wish that if a student has a special need, I can fulfill it through flexibility, kindness,...

...to overcome obstacles. I teach to the test. I believe test taking skills can improve scores more quickly than expanding a knowledge base, but it can only take you so far. I will diagnose and remedy gaps in knowledge but I focus on using what a student already knows and improving their ability to apply. I won't claim to make learning fun, but I will try to make the work less arduous. Work smarter not...

...include Linear Algebra and Graph Theory. These topics were at the forefront of my dissertation along with group theory while at the University of Essex. I have learned throughout my studies that mathematics is about much more than numbers and I hope to help students see the fascinating things that they are capable of achieving through math. When I am not working to become the next Fields Medalist, I enjoy playing Kendama; a Japanese wooden...

...take it slowly, you can make anything no matter how complicated. If I hadn't become an English major, one of the sciences would've been my second choice. I have a deep appreciation for the way science informs the way the world around us works. For the ACT in particular, I help my students develop an understanding of "scientific thinking" rather than memorizing scientific facts. I teach this section as a "non-fiction reading section" for those...

...really see it when it makes sense. I also enjoy helping students prepare for Standardized Tests. My goal is to help them advance, while keeping the material interesting. It is also my hope that I can help students reduce the stress they may feel when preparing to take these tests. I believe that if you continue to learn throughout your life, you will always be growing. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, and just...
