Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors serving Fairfield, CT

Hi students, I'm an experience professional who understands your frustration and can help correct missing or faulty prior instruction and address any subject matter obstacles. I have "real world" experience as a former science teacher and licensed engineer. My goal is to support your learning style, study methods and facilitate a solid mastery of the subject.

I am currently studying Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. I have been tutoring math since high school and have experience tutoring in elementary school math, SSAT math, and high school algebra. I like to help students visualize solutions to problems and give them silly tricks that helped me understand and remember tough concepts.

I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at UNH. I have a lot of experience with all ages and a variety of subjects. I'm here to help you learn and grow as a student. I'm here to help!

I have been tutoring math, science, and English for the past 17 years (+15,000 hours of experience) to elementary, middle school, high school, and college students attending public and private schools. I have also taught students around the world in ESL and standardized exams.

My name is Allison, and I graduated from Yale University. I majored in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and am hoping to attend medical school next fall. I am currently working as a postgraduate researcher at Yale School of Medicine and am looking forward to working with students through Varsity Tutors!

...and raised in Philadelphia and have travelled to a few other countries through study abroad programs and international conferences. I've been to China several times and love to practice my Chinese with others! I love to teach math and science and have served as a math tutor during high school and engineering tutor for two college courses. Some of the most fundamental mathematics to understand are algebra and calculus, so I always seek to tutor...

...advanced courses in Statistics, and have a minor in Spanish. My experience includes two years as a graduate teaching assistant at Colorado State University and two years as a swim lesson instructor for the City of Corvallis. While working as a graduate teaching assistant, I taught in front of classes and helped students with homework for statistics and sociology courses. In graduate school, I was known as the teacher. I went out of my way...

...meeting Josh Lippman, the legendary founder of AlphaPrep in Fairfield Connecticut. AlphaPrep focused primarly on SATs and ACTs (I got a 2200 on my SATs and 34 on my ACTs) though I also tutored Physics, Economics, Algebra II, Calculus, Precalc and many others. Through Josh's advice and my relationships with hundreds of students, I came to see that tutoring is about creating a unique learning style to help each student best make sense of the...

...enjoy sharing my love for math with everyone else. I make sure that everyone understands the stuff they are learning on their own terms to make sure it is more accessible for future use. I was a Teaching Assistant for a Calculus 2 class last semester. I love baseball, swimming, and rowing. I also used to play chess competitively. I believe the way to truly understand something is to do it until you can explain...

...and I am the oldest of four kids. I graduated from Bethel High School and just completed my first year at Northeastern University as an Electrical Engineering major.

I also enjoy volunteering in my community and working with children.

...Georgetown University and my concentration was Physiology and Biophysics. I work as an Environmental Analytical Chemist and my job title is QA/QC Director. I review analytical data obtained from soil, water, and air samples where we are looking at environmental pollutants such pesticides, PCBs, heavy metals, and fuel products that impact the air or drinking water. As the QA/QC Director, much of my job is to work with and train employees, and I believe this...

...years of industry-specific engineering work experience. Naturally, I am well versed in calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, physics (kinematics + electromagnetism) and all necessary supporting mathematics. I am also a strong analytical/technical writer, drawing on my experience in a variety of college writing subjects. My tutoring style focuses on conceptual understanding of the material, which I believe facilitates quicker/more efficient problem solving and test-taking. I am a Power Engineering IEEE Scholar and Honors Student. Outside...

...at Broward Community College in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I taught Algebra there, as I have almost every year since: 5 years at college, 6 years middle school, and 7 years high school, here in Connecticut. At the middle school, I served as the head of the math department, IT, and SSAT testing, including English, verbal, and more. Along the way, I taught every math course from 5th Grade to Calculus. Algebra remains my favorite, but...

...electrical engineer by trade who enjoys sports & science. I also really enjoy teaching others what I know related to science, mathematics, and physics. Science is an exact way to describe how the world works and a way to explore opportunities to make it better. The reason I enjoy sharing what I know is that I also refresh myself, and in the process I get to meet new people and create new connections with people...

...Engineering. I am a tutor right now as I look for a full time engineering position. Even after that occurs, I will still tutor because it is what I like to do. Ever since I started tutoring friends in class junior year in high school, I found that giving someone a way to understand the world better and give them insight on what that person can truly do is intrinsically rewarding. I want to continue...
