Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors serving Berkeley, CA

...started tutoring in high school. Math always came natural to me, but I also understood the struggles of understanding math. Along with math, Physics and Biology have always been my forte. I think physics helps us understand how the universe functions in our day to day lives. Something as simple as pushing the door, driving a car at a certain speed, or playing with yo-yo could be explained using physics. I also love biology. Once...

I am passionate about helping students get better! I love Mathematics and Physics, and want to be involved with the subjects for as long as possible.... To be flexible in teaching methods according to students' needs, and to be available to them for as much as they need.

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.

...at a time in math ranging from 1st grade to 8th grade. I am very familiar with how to motivate students who are bored or dont feel like doing work! As a freshman in college, I also volunteered by teaching reading and math to underprivileged students through Each One Teach One. In college, I went on to be employed as an engineering tutor for over 50% of my high level mechanical engineering courses. I have...

...any level at 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...

My entire educational background was spent in science and math classes, often it wasn't easy for me, so I understand what it's like to struggle with something and feel like you will never understand. But if you work the problems enough times and never quit you'll get through it. And asking for help is never a bad thing, no one has ever gotten through all of this without help.... Understanding what it is you're doing is...

...at Washington University in St. Louis, studying Electrical Engineering (undergrad), Throughout high school but less so in college, I have tutored students and peers in academic areas more focused on writing and math. A core part of my teaching and learning philosophy is that I will have mastered a material if I can teach another person these concepts and come up with my own examples to illustrate my understanding. I will infuse this goal within...

...college and I currently tutor for a non-profit organization that targets high school students. I speak English and Chinese; I speak both Cantonese and Mandarin. My strengths as a tutor are threefold. I like to focus on exam skills. I also like to build special study methods to help students improve study efficiency. Finally, I like to focus on the basics of each subject and make sure the student understands before moving on to more...

...while also completing my high school education. After graduating I began my undergraduate education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, recently ranked by US News as the number one university in the country. At MIT I am pursuing a degree in mathematics. During this time I have acquired great experience in tutoring and teaching. I have a total of 8 years of experience tutoring mathematics, particularly calculus. I also have 5...

...who love solving problems in Math, Physics, and Chemistry especially doing calculation. I am very patient in following steps by steps in lecturing, and I want to ensure my student would understand the basic knowledge and question first. After that, I would go further to expand their knowledge. I also need the collaboration between my client and the student along with their expectation. My parents are both high school teachers in Physics and Chemistry, so...

Hi! My name is Andrew; I'm currently studying Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. In my free time, I'm an avid debater, frisbee player, and nap-taker. Recently, I've been researching metabolic engineering in yeast- ask me about it if you want to be bored. I love to learn, and can't wait to help everyone here learn with me!

...and how "easy" some of this can be once you have the right perspective awesomely satisfying! I have an undergraduate degree in mathematics and experience with graduate level math classes and numerical research. Math is one of the subjects I really love thinking and talking about. I have tutored students to prepare the SAT/ACT and have taught calculus and linear algebra as well. My Masters degree was very math/computation heavy so it is a subject...

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.

I am a current graduate level student with a background in technical, science, and humanities coursework. I have years of experience putting this coursework into action through both teaching and technical positions. I enjoy tailoring my teaching methods to each individual student, and I look forward to meeting and working with you!

Hey! My name is Priscilla Ng and I am a third year Mechanical Engineering major at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I love learning new skill and concepts and teaching them just as much, let me help you succeed in the classroom! I love being outdoors and going on adventures with my friends and family. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions!

I specialize in math and science,and am currently pursuing a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at MIT. I am patient and will take as much time as you need to thoroughly explain concepts. In my free time, I like to make video blogs with a cinematographic feel to them. I will do my best to make learning as fun and enjoyable as possible!

...they have fallen behind in some way and therefore lost confidence. My main goal as a tutor will be to restore their confidence in the subject by providing complete understanding of concepts as well as preparing them for the most complex examples so that they will not be caught off guard in the class. I also believe tutoring should be a cooperation with the student because they have the best understanding of what their class...

I am currently a student at Ithaca College pursuing a degree in physics. I am very passionate about math and science especially, and I have found that teaching students is another passion. I have experience tutoring high school students in areas including algebra, algebra 2 and AP Physics 1. I love working with students to help them achieve their goals, and finding exactly what teaching style works best for which students.

...love seeing my students have a "light-bulb" moment where suddenly everything we discussed makes sense to them. I think it is extremely important for everyone to have (at least) a basic understanding of math and science as this helps us to better understand our world. I am greatly motivated to teach in a way that my students understand the fundamental principles and not in a way that they can merely get the right answer. I...

...tutor for college students. I believe my strongest subject to tutor is Standardized Test Prep (SAT, ACT, and GRE). Performing well on these tests can truly bolster a student???s application for undergraduate or graduate education, and I truly enjoy helping him or her achieve their best. I am also passionate about tutoring Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. My teaching style is not set in stone; I understand that everyone learns differently and will try to...
