Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors serving Cleveland, OH

...(but especially math) by giving them a sense of a larger context. In particular, I love to bring college-level math concepts to students in a way anyone can understand, which often demonstrates WHY the math they're doing matters. It also shows that math can be just plain cool, which I don't think our curricula prioritize enough. Besides teaching, I enjoy practicing parkour and tricking (acrobatic martial arts), playing video games, and reading fiction.

...member of the Peer Tutoring and Mentoring Club and enjoy working with students, primarily in math and science. My favorite subject is physics because it combines science with math and is actually applicable to real life. My learning philosophy is to just do practice problems. The more practice, the easier each problem will be. Somebody can spend all day just studying notes, but he or she will learn best by just doing practice problems. Outside...

My passion is to be able to allow students to experience the STEM field without the struggle. I want them to be able to enjoy and learn about their favorite topics without hating it. I believe STEM is an amazing field filled with so many opportunities. Students only need to be handed the correct resources to be successful in it. With the correct tutoring and motivation, anyone can come to love learning!

...to more easily digestible ideas. Reading the material and conceptually understanding is just the first step in being able to apply theory. I have found that there is no good substitute to working through problems and to learn by doing them. Even if you don't get the correct answer the first time, reworking them will deepen that groove of understanding. Then each time the topic comes up a more intuitive understanding can be obtained. In...

My overall philosophy of teaching is simple: I hope to make the students whom I interact with more curious and interested in the biological sciences, through storytelling and engaged learning. My emphasis is that Science is exciting, dynamic, and fun, not dull dry textbook!

I am a sophomore at Rice University and intending to major in Bioengineering with a minor in Global Health Technologies. I am also planning on going to med school.

I'd start off by asking what the student is interested in, in both subject and extracurricular. Then, I'd ask...

I am a rising sophomore at Case Western Reserve University studying engineering. I have taken most high-school level standardized tests, and have scored consistently above the 95th percentile. I have tutored small groups of students throughout high school, and also have experience as a private tutor. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee with my college club team.

...University School of Medicine. I graduated with a B.S. in Health Management and Policy from Saint Louis University. I was born and brought up in Okemos, Michigan, a vibrant suburb near Lansing. Here, I gained a passion for education and began tutoring underserved youth in Lansing, Michigan. This passion stuck with me as I began my undergraduate education at Saint Louis University. Following the Jesuit ideals emphasized at SLU, I continued tutoring underprivileged youth in...

...to think through challenging situations using an organized thought pattern. Instead of just help students with their homework, I work to help them understand the content and teach them how think through the problems so they can approach new situations without hesitation. My students have statistically been the highest in the school both in their classroom tests and on their standard tests. I've had particular success with closing the gender gap for my classes. On...

My name is Jamal Alafifi. I graduated from the University of Arizona in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology and I hold a Master of Science from SUNY-Upstate Medical University. In my spare time I like to work out, go hiking, and play golf.... My teaching philosophy is to allow the student to figure out as much as they can on their own rather than telling them what the answers are, and then from...

...Cleveland, Ohio. I am currently pursuing a BS in Mechanical engineering as well as a BA in International Studies with a concentration on Latin American Development. My studies have given me a proficiency in the Maths and Sciences as well as History, Government, and the Spanish language. I have been tutoring for around 5 years now, having started during my second year of high school and continued on through college. During high school I tutored...

...I value the humanities as well, and it is my experience as a guitar student and instructor that makes my approach to tutoring unique and valuable to students. My interests extend to philosophy and history of science, and even ecology! This diversity allows me to draw useful analogies for the student while building an understanding of a given problem from the ground up. My goal is simple: to continue this building process until the student's...

...State, University of Houston, and Capella...I have 4 degrees and working on a PhD. Degrees in Chemical Engineering, Computer Information and Programming, Mathematics and Education. Because of my engineering background, both calculus, differential equation, and chemistry have always been my favorites. My simple philosophy is to be sure that the student understands the current topic of study first before delving into any other advanced areas...that provides the foundation...Outside of teaching, I enjoy country western dancing,...

...their faces and make them happy. I have being a tutor for a total of four years already and have enjoyed all the gifts I have gotten from it. I went to Lone Star College Cy-Fair and then transferred to Baylor University where I earned my Bachelors degree with a major in Biochemistry and a minor in mathematics. Throughout my time in college, I was a tutor in both schools and enjoyed it a lot....

...has always been my calling. In my high school and college years, I would often struggle understanding concepts because I had this attitude that things were "hard"; that that was just the way it was. As I learned to teach myself and my peers when we would study, I realized that these barriers many of us have are artificial and that understanding and applying difficult concepts, from reactions in organic chemistry to pragmatic analysis, is...

...two bachelor in science degrees. I tutor various subjects including, Calculus 1, AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, College Physics, Precalculus, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Astronomy. Although I'm not limited to these subjects they are what I feel most confident in. My favorite subjects to tutor would have to be Physics and/or Astronomy, as I'm deeply passionate about them and have spent countless hours studying them. My philosophy as a tutor is to figure...

...important and how its principals are used. I like to start with an interesting example or event that makes students realize the usefulness of concepts and principals, so they can correlate it with their previous knowledge. Most of the students start a class very motivated and easily memorize ideas for a short time, but by next semester they have forgotten everything they learned. That is what I really would like to overcome, so I think...

...important to me as a person. Communication and understanding, especially in the sciences is as important as it is sometimes difficult. Ultimately, I think that all students have their lives enriched by truly understanding the materials in all subjects, even ones that don't at first appear to be the ones that attract them. I hope that, by tutoring, I can help bring this joy to a few people who might not see it otherwise.

...a peer tutor in the Center for Student Progress. I am going to be starting medical school this fall. Before college, I was also a babysitter/tutor for elementary school children in math and reading. I have extensive experience in SAT, ACT, and MCAT prep, a love of physics, and expertise in tutoring from elementary to college level students. I hope to use these to help as many clients as possible on the Varsity Tutors platform!

...and I spend a lot of time caring for our classroom pet rabbit named Kevin. I love kayaking and paddle boarding. I was a college swimmer and rugby player and I still swim to stay fit early EARLY in the morning. I love to travel and before COVID I would travel 2-3 times a year out of the country to new places. I just returned from Zambia, where I completed grant-work with local game rangers...
