Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors serving Pawtucket, RI

Hi! I am a senior at Princeton University studying Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering with minors in Robotics and African American Studies. I have over 4 years of tutoring experience with various math and science AP exams as well as SAT and SAT subject tests. I also tutor other Princeton students at school in mathematics and physics. I love being active, playing soccer, and playing jazz trumpet!

...my role is to use my aptitude and experience as a problem solver and communicator to help my students to acquire new skills and reach their learning goals. My teaching philosophy is based on experiential learning, which simply put means that my students learn by doing. Whenever possible instead of solving a single problem, I will give my student skills or frameworks to solve many problems. My experience comes from tutoring and teaching for over...

...structure and drug design using protein crystallography. I taught medical students for 35 years in addition to my clinical and research duties. While I am capable of tutoring a number of subjects, I am happiest teaching math, which is a lifelong love. I believe strongly in the ability of education to improve one's quality of life; I still enjoy learning new topics every day. I want students to be able to use their knowledge to...

I want to give back to my community by helping ensure that all students have a chance at academic success.

...settings (especially in mathematics). I also have several years of experience working with children. I believe any academic concept can be taught to any student, as long as it is visualized in the way that reaches the student the best. I place a lot of importance on visual learning, diagrams, and analogies. Other than biology, I have a passion for drawing, playing the piano, running, spending time with friends and family, and being outdoors.

...the subject material. A tutor must both understand the subject material, and understand the manner in which students fail to comprehend that same material. I pride myself on my ability to listen and understand what aspect of a concept is difficult for a student, even when the student cannot clearly articulate her own problem. In addition to my experience at Hamilton, I spent a summer teaching science to 4th and 5th graders with Exploration Summer...

Learning isn't always easy; in fact it's often uncomfortable. This means it's possible to find meaning even in classes we hate or the ones we think we are bad at. For this reason, I hope to work with learners who might be uncertain about their interests and futures.

...help so we can see if I will be a good fit for your needs and spend some time working on current material. Please email or call me and we can find a time to talk in more detail about a possible arrangement. I look forward to working with you! Here are some excerpts from past students testimonials: We received a letter and a progress report from the director of the school tutoring program. She...

...a special interest in education and activism. Especially in my field, being so intertwined with political science and social justice, the ability to communicate and educate others is crucial. Last summer, I worked at an environmental science oriented day camp for children ages 6-12, where we incorporated educational curriculum and lesson plans into the daily activities. I also spent two summers working social justice summer camp with children ages 13 and 14. What I learned...

My name is Mason and I am passionate about science and the environment! I have combined these two in my love of environmental and earth sciences, but I also love learning about chemistry and physics. I am priviledged to now help others learn about the amazing world around us.... The best part of being a tutor is stepping back and watching a student figure out a solution all on their own. I think the best way...

...and more. Although I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about Calculus, Statistics, and Chinese. Based on my learning and tutoring experience, I believe it is critical to learn and understand all of the concepts of the subject, practice and master the knowledge, and then apply it to real world situations. Organization in the teaching and learning of the subject plays an important role. I hope that students result in mastering...

...through adversity. Failure, however, is never a setback; it is a step closer to success. When working with students, I refrain from providing direct answers to homework or test questions, for building a foundation for sustainable learning is more important than memorizing easy answers. Above all else, I focus on forming a personal relationship with each student to create an open and engaging learning environment. Everyone learns better when they know the instructor has their...

...peer tutor, where I spent my free study periods in departmental offices offering academic support on a drop-in basis. In college I also enjoyed tutoring my friends when they wanted some extra academic support. My passion is for mathematics and the sciences: as an engineer I have a deep appreciation for how theory in textbooks translates into real world applications. In my experience, the most important component of the tutor/student relationship is the tutor's ability...

...I love seeing the "lightbulb moment" when working with students where they are able to connect the dots and overcome a particular challenge that we have been working on together and always strive to improve student outcomes whether that be mastering a new subject or polishing up their problem solving abilities, there is no greater feeling than being able to help someone learn and encourage a lifelong love of learning. When I am not tutoring...

...PhD in Physics from Brandeis University with a focus in computational and theoretical biophysics. I know that STEM classes can be intimidating to many. Every student has their own way of learning. My job is to figure out how my students learn and work within that framework to demystify these subjects. Everyone starts life as a scientist, questioning everything in their environment, and my goal is to bring my students back to their inherent inquisitive...

I am a Computer Engineering and Computer Science student in the honors program at Northeastern University who has always had a passion for teaching others.

...physics and mathematics student from the University of Rhode Island. There, I discovered the teachings of renowned physicist Richard Feynman which, compressed, might read: "if you really understand something, then you can explain it to your grandmother." I spend a lot of my free time reading and writing, and am currently working my way through Dubliners, a series of stories by James Joyce. I also play guitar and know upwards of several hundred songs.

...enjoy teaching. I have degrees in Physics and Linguistics, and am proficient in a variety of subjects including (but not limited to) math, physics, English, and foreign languages.

My teaching experience includes tutoring throughout middle and high school, as well as several teaching assistantships at MIT. I am familiar with many different types of learning styles and feel comfortable...

...experience to their likes and dislikes. Rather than use boring, generic objects I will use subject matter directly related to the student's interests. Furthermore, I understand that not everybody learns in the same manner. I excel at auditory learning while many others prefer visual information. I will work with each student in a way that I believe they will be most receptive to. I will help them understand how a word problem relates to a...
