Award-Winning AP Physics 2 Tutors serving Seattle, WA

...attending Montessori school. As I continued with my education from a catholic high school to the University of Washington, I found my enthusiasm for problem solving became more and more engrained into my everyday life. I believe that success within any field of knowledge comes from continual curiosity and questioning of the models and methods presented before an individual. My favorite physicist David Hilbert famously spoke "Wir mssen wissen wir werden wissen!" "We must know...

...be able to ace exams, but will in fact be able to teach material back to me, since that is the sign of true understanding. When I see someone's face light up when a complicated set of ideas is distilled into a viscerally understandable (and exciting!) bite-sized concept, I get a sense of fulfillment like nothing else. Learning math or science is all about that one moment where everything "clicks" into place, and when it...

...Pulsar Timing Array in Holland and Australia to discover new pulsars and clouds of interstellar hydrogen. I also tutored individuals and groups in physics, math, and astronomy. My favorite subject to tutor in is math. While math is often seen as intimidating, I like making it fun and engaging. I think it's important to see math as a skill that can be learned, like reading, rather than a talent you are born with or without....

...graduate from the University of Washington's interdisciplinary Bioengineering program. This is a highly competitive program that requires proficiency in nearly all areas of high school and college level science and mathematics subjects, which is why I chose to teach these subjects on the Varsity Tutors platform in 2018 (my freshman year of college). When I'm not tutoring, I like to spend my time running, hiking, reading, coding, and doing research. If there's anything else you'd...

...chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and high school chemistry. I absolutely love teaching students. I most enjoyed when students understood the concepts and could apply them to new problems. I believe it is most important for students to understand the concepts, rather than memorize specific formulas, reactions, or mechanisms. By learning the concepts, you can apply the concepts to problems to more challenging problems. I hope to get the chance to work with you.

I am a professional scientist with multiple years of experience in the biopharmaceutical field. I have spent time in the classroom with elementary aged students and am comfortable with this age group. I am also familiar with AP classes and ACT/SAT preparation. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with students and helping them achieve academic goals!

...a classroom when I was 12. My middle school had a special education center and I had the opportunity to work with a class of high-functioning, non-verbal 3rd graders for a year! Throughout high school, I babysat the four children of a family friend on a regular basis, helping with (elementary level) schoolwork whenever required. I began tutoring around the same time, working with the same student for three years. We focused primarily on organization,...

Hello! I'm Chris, a fun-loving math tutor who enjoys helping students of all ages see math in a light that helps them expand their horizon. I've worked one-on-one with students for about 7 years now. I enjoy understanding and learning from my students on top of showing them mathematics in a way tailored to them.

...but my work also significantly overlaps with the work of biologists, chemists, geophysicists, and even philosophers in my field. As a scientist, I am dedicated to honing an expertise in exoplanet astronomy while also developing a working knowledge of biology, chemistry, and geophysics in order to better contextualize my work. As an aspiring scientist, I am also devoted to effective scientific communication. Throughout my education and career, I have dedicated myself to inspiring people of...

I embrace a student centered approach to student learning. This means that I let the student lead the discussion of a particular problem. I have been teaching for 6 years at the high school level, having come off a BS in Math with a minor in Physics from UC Merced(go bobcats).

I love to learn and to teach. Studied physics and electrical engineering in college. Lifelong music nerd.

...who were engaging and made me excited about the material. Those two attributes are something I strive for while tutoring. Attending college has allowed me to gain a lot of experience tutoring various math and physics classes. When I work with my students, I focus on the logical steps to understanding the material. Then applying that knowledge to problem solving techniques. In math I tutor classes ranging from Pre-Algebra through Differential Equations. In Physics, I...

...physics and Spanish language major! I love sharing my interest in science and culture with students of all ages. I enjoy creating STEM demonstration sessions for local middle schools and mentoring for the Girls are the 5th FUNdamental Force Program as the executive chair and founder. In my free time I enjoy baking cupcakes, iceskating, and taking walks while listening to my Spotify Daily Mix. I hope to support all levels of learning inside and...

...Washington where I fell in love with the mountains and vibrant culture. I spend my time rock climbing, cycling, skiing, playing the guitar, and taking pictures. However, my biggest passion is science and education. I graduated with a degree in Human Biology, had a blast taking the MCAT, and am currently applying to medical school. My favorite subjects are chemistry, including general, organic and biochem, and clinically relevant biology such as genetics, histology, anatomy, and...
