Award-Winning AP Chemistry Tutors serving Norfolk, VA

...bachelor's degree in biochemistry. I have a lot of experience with most sciences and I understand that the concepts can be very difficult at times if they are not explained properly. Science is an absolutely incredible field of study and is a critical foundation for several fields of further study like engineering or medicine. It is important to build a strong foundation. I believe I can be a great asset to my tuttees future by...

I wish to teach people in a way that gets them excited to learn and improve their skills! I hope my enthusiasm for the subjects I teach will spread to my students.

I am a graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University. I have a bachelor of science in Chemistry and Forensic Science. I was a teaching assistant for chemistry while in school. I look forward to tutoring students in chemistry and math subjects.

My goal is to prepare students for courses in various ways to make them as successful as possible. I hope to teach students proper habits and a routine that would make them successful in future classes.

...and I work hard to show them it is actually just a set of skills not yet learned. I break down concepts into smaller steps that are less intimidating. I also re-teach concepts that are usually forgotten from lower levels of math that are necessary to understand current concepts. I prefer to teach students concepts in an intuitive way versus a memorization way. In the long run, understanding mathematical concepts on an intuitive level will...

...levels of responsibilities. I greatly look forward to tutoring and mentoring students at Varsity Tutors. I am a diversified teacher with extensive teaching experience in a range of environments. In addition to tutoring mathematics and sciences, I also tutor applied physics/physics. At my present job, I am an instructor for the DOD in the radiological protection field. On days I am off work, I have been a substitute teacher for Hampton School District and during...

I am a Neuroscience major but tutor in many different subjects. Science is where my heart is at though :) Lets get that A+!

...range of subjects including chemistry, physical geography, human geography (and labs), marine geography, environmental science, Caribbean geography, globalization, political ecology, writing for the sciences, writing and research, and communication. I enjoy teaching a variety of subjects and like to discover ways to personalize lessons. My first focus is to build trust and communication with the student, and give them the skills to feel independent and sure of how to succeed in the desired subject area....

...pass their final science or math class as well as to someone who wants to take an in-depth look at the material and connect it to other subjects and to real-life situations, possibly taking the material beyond the scope of the course. When I do not have my nose stuck in a book learning new information, I am most likely at the gym or running around Norfolk, Virginia. As someone who has run many races,...

...know how much work it takes to be successful. Since I have plans for becoming a doctor, I have studied for multiple tests including the SAT and ACT. I have extensive experience in standardized tests and can tutor not only on subject material, but also on test taking strategies. I was a biology major at Hampden Sydney College and took classes that included general biology, ecology, organismal biology, genetics, immunology, virology, endocrinology, medical genetics/study of...

...a Teaching Assistant for university chemistry courses and privately tutored a few students on the side. As a TA, I worked with hundreds of students in both large classes and small group environments. This helped me appreciate how student abilities range from individual to individual and the importance of building an honest and respectful relationship with clients. I am currently taking a gap year before hopefully attending medical school next fall, so my schedule is...

...School in the fall. I began my tutoring career as a Supplemental Instruction Leader for Microbiology of Human Disease for four semesters and Chemistry 101 for two semesters while in undergrad. These are peer-facilitated group review sessions designed to help students succeed in historically difficult courses. I would meet with the students of each of these courses to review lecture materials, supplemental materials that I could provide, and review for tests. In my time as...

...and a life where you can obtain a career that doesn't feel like work. My name is Malik Laidlaw and from my beginning stages of school I vowed to pursue the life of an educator because I knew from an early age that a student can only become as good as the teacher motivates them to be. I stand for understanding, simply because you wouldn't leave an artist to paint if the artist didn't understand...

I love explaining things to people - and I've been doing it for about 25 years. I want you to finish a session feeling like: "Wow, that guy really helped me! (plus - what a sense of humor!)
