Award-Winning AP Chemistry Tutors in Salt Lake City, UT

...goal is to help students become independent, comfortable, and confident in the fields they are studying. I love helping people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal. Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe that anyone can master any of the subjects I teach.

...the learning process. My teaching style is both personal and goal-oriented. In the first time meeting a student I like to briefly introduce myself. I like to hear a little about the student as well. I then take time to hear the student's attitude towards their class, their own perceived strengths and weaknesses with that subject, and what they hope to achieve by working with me. The student and I then develop a plan on...

...and understanding instruction is paramount to a students success. I am very patient and caring, and I take a sincere interest in my students. I consider myself to be a well rounded person, and have many interests outside of my academic field. I enjoy literature and theatre, and I love to travel and see and experience new things. I have a particular fondness for the outdoors, and enjoy camping, hiking, and biking.

...to real world topics they are much more likely to understand the content in chemistry and physics. I honestly believe that students need a variety of ways to internalize information. For the chemistry course I taught to ESL students, I made podcasts for them with each of the objectives I needed for them to acquire and encouraged them to view these video podcasts to increase their understanding of the content. During classroom time, I would...

...better understand broader concepts and will, in turn, help them to teach themselves new material in the future. Thus, through my tutoring courses at BYU, I have learned the true role of a tutor (along with many other things about tutoring, of course): to help the tutee gain the skills to become independent from the tutor. Thus, ultimately, my tutees should feel confident enough to tackle material without my help and still expect success.

...a bachelor's degree in Chemistry. As a student, I have found that I respect teachers more when they can understand the questions posed by my fellow students. I think that it is important to find out what a student knows before trying to teach a new concept. That way any misconceptions can be cleared up at the beginning, instead of fighting against them for weeks or even longer. I have taken classes in Chemistry, Physics,...

...in UNI- the neuropsychiatric institute; Currently work in the Inpatient Medical Rehabilitation unit at the University Hospital. Also, through out my undergrad I have gained experience tutoring from having a lot of my friends come to me to help them in the hard sciences I have already taken. In tutoring, I have found that the "eureka!" moment happens from going back to the basics, finding that disconnect of knowledge, and filling it in. I like...

...solving; whether designing drugs, computer applications, or basic chemistry and math problems it all starts with the same steps: A) What do I know? B) What do I want to know? C) How do I get from A to B? I did PhD research in computational chemistry and dream of becoming a middle school math teacher if I win the lottery. PS - My online sessions will frequently be monitored by my chihuahua, Piper. She's...

...a lot of time teaching others Spanish and French mainly in a casual setting. I have also done the reverse by teaching English to those that only speak Spanish or French. I have also been an interpreter and translator both in professional and spur of the moment situations. I know what it is like to learn a new language (I have done it twice) and look forward to doing it again. Tutoring languages is a...

...discuss the problem. I typically prefer to have discussions over lectures because it is more engaging for students to have conversations about the material than listen to me talk about the subject. When students bring me questions, I normally will break the question into smaller chunks to help the student identify the hardest part of the problem. Once the problem is identified we would discuss this problem to make sure the issue is resolved. This...

I am a lover of all things STEM. I believe in helping students help themselves. I have a lot of experience working with students as young as 4th grade all the way up to high school and college. STEM is more than just knowledge, it is practical skills that we all use everyday.

I love working one on one with students. I have taught in classrooms in public, private and charter schools for the last 23 years. My favorite part is tutoring one or small groups of students.

I love chemistry, and I love helping other people come to love it too.

...GPA. I am majoring in Exercise Science and am going to go to Physical Therapy school. I am also getting a minor in Psychology. I lived in France for two years and became fluent in the French language. I continue to converse with natives in French. I was a college chemistry TA for three semesters and love teaching chemistry. I did very well on standardized tests. I love to teach and impart knowledge to others...

I am a junior nursing major at BYU with a passion for science and English as well as art and video games. My focus is a goal-orientated and student-focused approach to learning while still making it enjoyable, because I know learning can be fun and so, so interesting!

Want to stop dreading your exams and homework? Let's get you to the point where you actually look forward to demonstrating your knowledge. Because you've mastered it.

I'm a senior at Brigham Young University studying Genetics and Mathematics. I love molecular biology, slam poetry, my family, cheesecake, Japan, and life in general.

...learning/teaching style is best for you. I bet we can squeeze at least a little fun from cracking down on ACT studying or that boring science class. It's all about approaching school with a little optimism... and sarcasm... that helps too. This last fall I graduated from the University of Utah with a Bachelor's degree in chemistry and a nutrition minor. Next step: starting medical school at The Western University of Health Sciences in Oregon...

Learning didn't come easily to me at first. Only when I understood how the brain really works could I understand the effective ways of learning. Now I love helping others grasp the same principles I have studied! More than anything, I am here to provide encouragement and support and I am willing to go to great extents to help you reach your educational goals.

I love teaching and helping others. I've tutored since High School and my classmates, friends and students always tell me about how much I've made an impact in their lives. I believe everyone can improve and learn--that means YOU too! Ready?
