Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors serving San Rafael, CA

...for the last 7 years. My own experiences as a student receiving tutoring has taught me and helped me a lot in being a successful tutor. In my opinion, the most important part of tutoring is understanding each individual's needs and learning methods. Everyone is different and to be a successful tutor, you cannot apply the same teaching methods to every student. Understanding how quickly students learn, what types of strengths they have, and their...

...years at Cal to help a student excel in any material. Because both of my parents are teachers (one high school-level and one university-level), I have both observed their teaching methods in the classroom and have received their teaching.

I have taught the English language, a subject I am very familiar with, to...

My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

...from elementary chemistry demonstration to genetic research with high schoolers. While I enjoy tutoring a number of subjects, I am especially fond of science and math. My goal as a tutor is often to not only teach a subject, but get a student involved with a subject - that is, excited about it. I find students can make the biggest improvements when they feel personally engaged in the subject. Outside of academics I like bikes,...

...and academic success in courses related to biology, ecology, environmental science, astronomy, and geography. I have a strong background in math, physics, and chemistry. And although it was not my focus, I am a proficient writer and am comfortable with the mechanical and conceptual composition of written assignments. My major-specific classes included a great deal of field work as well as lab work, completing problems sets, writing research papers and lab reports, and even mapping...

...methods and figure out a better way to explain a difficult concept. Being able to be a part of a student's learning progress and helping them reach their potential is very fulfilling. And seeing how a student can surprise themselves with their own abilities is the best thing a tutor can ask for. For mathematics, I've taken up to Calculus BC in high school, and Multivariable Calculus at UCR. I understand the concepts, but I...

...and Cell Biology with an emphasis in Immunology. I worked as a peer tutoring during college and I currently tutor for a non-profit organization that targets high school students.

Growing up with good mentors was crucial for the development of not only my academic success, but also the growth of me as an individual. I strongly believe that with correct and steadfast guidance, anyone can achieve anything. I was inspired by my own teachers to become what I loved, which turns out to be a mechanical engineering student, and I hope to reciprocate that to the upcoming generations.
