...was one of my most frequently used study techniques as a college student. While participating in study groups, I spent at least as much time teaching others college level concepts as I did being taught. These frequent study sessions helped me learn ways to become much more effective as a tutor. A large part of...

...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.

...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....

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

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).

...universe. Similarly, it is critical to me to share the story of my career path to inspire students to consider a career in scientific research. I understand that many students may struggle with their science classes, and certainly not because they are incapable or lack talent. From my own experiences in high school and undergraduate...

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.

...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...

Hello! I am an engineer by training, who is looking to help young people cultivate love and interest for math and science!

...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!

I am a potential friendly mathematician who is also interested in computer programming.

...math. In high school I enjoyed my algebra and AP calculus courses. In college I have taken many courses that use applied math, including finance and physics. I have experience tutoring kids at many different levels. For 5 years I worked with students 1st grade through 4th grade Hebrew reading and writing. I have also...

...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 like to know about...

...through examples is the best way to solidify the concepts one is learning, especially when it comes to physics and math. I like working through an example with a tutee, and then having them solve some problems on their own. Outside of tutoring, I love playing piano, working on my photography skills, and playing rugby....

...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,...

...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!"...

...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.
