Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors in Cupertino, CA

...the problem-solving process that goes along with learning math and science, and I enjoy helping others learn to understand and excel in these subjects. I have previously taught science and math to students ranging from elementary school to university-level. This experience has given me broad experience with different learning styles, and I work to make sure that my students can find the study tools that help them the most. I also know that standardized tests...

...a variety of health topics. Finally, in my last research position at UCSD School of Medicine, I taught several incoming researchers in immunological, genetic, and biochemical theory as well as relevant applications. I tutor a wide range of subjects including Physics, Math, Biology, English Reading and Writing, and more. While I have a background in many subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor are Biology and English. I enjoy teaching Biology not only because it is...

I'm a senior bioengineer hoping to pass on my love for science and learning to a younger generation!... I believe that figuring out what motivates students (real world examples, tests, or even pride) is they key to figuring out effective teaching methods. Not every student will love math and science, but all can have a functional understanding to use in their own paths to success.... I would get to know them briefly-- asking about sports, future goals, etc., to gauge their motivations. Then, I'd ask about school and see what they need help with and ask them to walk me through an example problem so I can see the way they're thinking.

As a UC Berkeley graduate with medical school aspirations, tutoring and teaching is a natural transition. I have experience with all age groups (elementary to post-college) and enjoy the process of creating true understanding along with building strong relationships with my students. If I can share even a fraction of my love of science, math and other subjects with students I know progress will be made!... Using guided questions and creating a strong knowledge foundation to help every individual learn the best way possible for them!

...students. I also have years of experience as a private tutor, working with high school students in a variety of subjects. While I tutor many different subjects, my favorite subjects are SAT preparation, English (especially writing and editing skills), Math, and Biology. Effective tutoring is very personal and requires work by both the tutor and student. I always try to work with my students on set common goals, and to identify clear strategies to meet...

...Yale at the end of my Ph.D.: the only time it was awarded to STEM in 35 years! Now, completely immersed in research in developing best the material for clean energy technology, I really miss the teaching that I immensely enjoyed for last 10 years. My secret: success in tests (and maybe in life, too) comes from not just what we know, but what we can deliver in a short time, when demanded. I learned...

...important not just for academics but for everyday tasks as well, and it is a useful skill for everyone to possess. I am an avid traveler and self-proclaimed foodie. I love exploring new places around the Bay and sampling the local cuisine. During my travels, I often take photos of the food I eat, the scenery, and anything interesting that catches my eye. I also enjoy cooking, baking, and eating the food I make! In...

...one on one gives us the opportunity to learn at the student's optimal pace. I earned a B.S. in Neuroscience and a B.A. in Psychology at UC Santa Cruz. The subjects I tutor are Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Math, Physics, English, Psychology, and some test prep. My favorite subjects are Biology and Psychology. In my free time, I enjoy reading (books and comics), writing, drawing, and playing sports. I'm a friendly and open person, and together...

...my specialty has largely focused on test preparation for standardized exams. I understand that each student has a unique set of abilities, motivations, and needs. This set of attributes is important to how I structure and conduct my sessions, as no two students are alike. I am most comfortable creating a highly-personalized learning environment, in which the student feels comfortable asking questions, explaining their thought processes, and slowly working to become an independent learner. Above...

...am also a state certified teacher in English, grades 6-12. These skills and experiences have since translated into a burgeoning pedagogical career, starting in my undergraduate years at UM. I worked with a number of students on a wide variety of topics and writings, such as medical school applications, expository and persuasive essays, business writing, and even helped someone compose a letter to the Financial Aid Department. These are the experiences and background I bring...
