Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors in Boulder, CO

...students. I also value higher education, and therefore take pride in giving my students the tools to succeed on the SAT to help them begin that journey. While in high school, I tutored middle school and high school students in math. Later in college, I tutored many of my fellow band members in various levels of calculus. Since graduation, I was able to apply those skills working for the FDA's Center for Food Safety and...

...Zach Polonsky, and I am a junior at Colorado School of Mines, studying Engineering Physics. As a physics major, I know the importance of understanding the fundamentals of a subject before trying to focus on specifics, especially in math and science. I try to have a very flexible teaching style, as I know not everybody learns in the same way, and I will always come prepared to teach a subject in multiple ways depending on...

...physics. Currently, I am a data science intern for a start-up called Polco where I am learning software and analytical skills. I love snowboarding, mountain biking, playing music, and hiking so am thrilled to be living in Denver. Intellectually, I am interested in math, physics, and computer science. I think that one of the best ways to learn is by teaching so I look forward to sharing what I know and deepening my understanding along...

...much as I love learning, I love teaching and helping my peers and many others understand the material with many years of tutoring experience. I work hard to make sure the subjects at hand are well understood as well as a fun, engaging, and accessible learning experience for everyone. During my free time, I enjoy making my friends and family laugh, play piano and guitar, play video games, and weight-lift. Thank you for viewing my...

...level biochemistry course with a focus on protein folding and structure. The best part about TAing was just connecting and hanging out with students, which is why being a Gen Chem lab TA was my favorite TA position I held since I got to know those students very well. Eventually, I decided that the bench-top wasn't where I wanted to be forever so I wrote my Master's thesis and left Penn. As a TA/tutor, I...

...technologies. I have been putting my goals into action the last two years by interning at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory doing research in photovoltaic reliability. In high school and college, I have gained experience mentoring peers and helping them not only succeed, but enjoy their school work. I believe that for a student to have an effective learning experience, the tutor must not only be passionate about teaching, but also about learning. As a...

As a recent chemical engineering graduate I understand the difficulties in some fields of study. I look forward to joining you on your quest for additional knowledge.

...material memorable and interesting. I graduated from Colorado School of Mines in December of 2015 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biochemistry, and am planning on pursuing a Masters Degree in Microbiology. My passion in education is for science, but I have been well prepared in the areas of mathematics and reading as well. I hope to pass my passion for education, along with an understanding of the course material and study habits, on...

I enjoy teaching real-world problem solving techniques that I learned while studying Mathematical Physics in college. I'm here to help students develop a deeper, more complete understanding through connections with every-day-life, because that's what I struggled with in school and I'd hate for others to struggle the same way. ... Who cares about learning something if it won't help you in real life? I teach using real-world examples and down-to-earth scenarios. My approach to problem solving...

...University of Colorado at Boulder. I double majored in Political Science and History with an emphasis in American History, Late Roman History, and Political Economics. During my time at CU, I assisted with the academic committee for my fraternity, assisting some of the younger students with some of their classes. I generally helped with introductory classes in economics, history, and even some math classes. After I graduated, I worked in the financial sector for a...

...time I have been hired as a professional tutor, my experiences lead me to believe that I have what it takes to be a successful mentor. I love to ski, hike, camp and play hockey in Colorado. Although I grew up in Colorado, my dad is from the east coast of Australia and has passed on his passion for the ocean and traveling to me. I love to sail, fish, snorkel and swim. I am...

...National Quality Award Semi-Finalist Project Management Institute Project of the Year Award Finalist (International Competition) International City/County Management Association Public Safety Program Excellence Award (population 10,000 to 49,999) My initiatives also include founding a modest sized trade association that is 30 years old with international membership, published guidelines and standards documents, and an education program. Along the way I mentored and coached many young engineers, undergraduate college students, and high school students in mathematics, physics,...

...we learn and what students most often have difficulty with in the classroom; foremost among these lessons is the need to understand where a student is coming from and remember what it was like to learn these subjects for the first time. Generally, my focus is on helping students understand the concepts and master the thought processes that lead to the right answer, rather than using rote memorization or oversimplified practice. My favorite subjects to...

...to other situations when the tutor is not present. As a chemical engineer, my favorite subjects are math and chemistry. I am very comfortable with mathematics up through calculus 1, including algebra I & II, trigonometry, introductory statistics, and calculus I. Additionally, I am very comfortable with ACT math and GRE quantitive sections, as I have taken both exams. With regard to chemistry, I can teach general chemistry, and AP chemistry. Outside of school, I...

...a car was going when it drifted around that corner or understand why there is absolutely no sound in space? I’d love to explain it to you. Everyone learns in different ways. For some it’s auditory, some it’s visual, and for most it’s kinesthetic. I want to figure out how you learn and go from there. If you need to make angles with your body to know the difference between acute and obtuse then let’s...

...By dabbling in a little of everything I can set my sights on what really holds my attention. My primary interests lie in the sciences, where learning what makes our world turn drives my passion for knowledge. I believe that successful tutoring involves assessing how a student learns and adapting my teaching style to best fit the needs of the student. In this manner a student can learn in a way that seems to come naturally...

...several different companies as well as privately, in areas of test prep as well as upper-level math and science. After obtaining his master's degree, Lucas secured a position in a research laboratory and largely stepped away from tutoring. After 8 months of rigorous laboratory work, however, Lucas realized what was missing from his new occupation: the young scholars, with whom he wished to share his knowledge of math and science. He has since returned to...

...material in a way that works for them. I believe that academia is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and should instead focus on how students learn in a way that makes sense to them. When tutoring with me, I help students find a way that not only gets them to the correct answer, but also helps them to make sense of a topic in a way that solidifies such topics in their mind. I aim to...

...offer my students the tools they will craft themselves with my guidance as a coach, leaving with newfound knowledge, personal development, and academic success. Many of the skills that I teach translate to many other areas of life as well. The only prerequisite would be for my students to be willing to allow me to help them help themselves; this requires a strong commitment for personal growth. I offer a focused environment for engagement of...

I have several years of tutoring experience in the life sciences including biology, biochemistry, anatomy and physiology at the high school and undergraduate level.
