Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors serving Rockville, MD

I'm a recent Yale grad living in Washington, D.C., where I work for the Washington Nationals. I'm a lifelong sports fanatic and love helping out those seeking to meet their academic goals!

As a former corporate professional and graduate from the Pennsylvania State University in State College, I plan to use my skills in mathematics and sciences to help teach the next generation of students what it takes to pass those tough courses and utilize my full potential in tutoring in order to help them succeed.

I have degrees from the University of Maryland and Caltech in astronomy and planetary science, and use physics in my research. I know from personal experience that a good teacher can be life-changing. With a strong science background, patience, and active listening skills, I help students excel in learning math, physics, and chemistry, as well as admissions test-prep.

...teachers need to speak the student's language, not just literally, but arguably more importantly, their learning language. As a result, my teaching philosophy is to teach a subject in multiple ways to help students retain and absorb information. I am a firm proponent of education being the key to success and a firm believer that anyone can overcome any number of obstacles with some persistence, determination, and a little bit of help.

I have extensive tutoring experience in math, physics, chemistry and engineering subjects. I really enjoy tutoring and like the interaction with students. ... Teaching is a way to share knowledge and improve your own learning.... By helping them understand the core concepts. Focus on understanding the problem itself rather than the solution.... By praising them on their successes, pointing out places for improvement and making learning a fun process.... I will try to illustrate the skill...

...have always found myself in a position of teaching others, while continuing to learn myself. I attribute this to a natural gravitation towards teaching that I have acquired from my father, who is a teacher at the Cecil County School of Technology. In high school, I fostered my verbal communications and interpersonal skills by performing as the Anchoring Lawyer in the Mock Trial Team, motivating teammates as Captain of the Varsity Football Team, and leading...

...Ph.D. in Physics from the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI, a research partnership between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Physics Department of the University of Maryland), and am currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the institute. My research specialization has been on experimental quantum and nonlinear optics in the Laser Cooling and Trapping Group led by Dr. William D. Phillips (1997 Nobel Prize in Physics) at NIST. I am...

...medical student at George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC. I took 2 gap years as an NIH Post-bac IRTA Fellow doing research on sickle cell genetics. I obtained my degree in biology and minored in chemistry. I enjoy sharing the knowledge I have learned throughout my years as a student and I hope to help out as many people as I can. While I was in undergrad, I was a leader in...

...eliminate wrong answers on tricky multiple choice questions, and how to efficiently study so that you still have time to relax and have a life (very important for success). Contrary to popular belief, most PhD students do not live in the lab. I like to get out and explore New York, watch Netflix marathons of Dexter and Orange is the New Black, and go out with friends as often as possible. Music is my passion...

...to learn, and glad to share what I know to be of help to others. Teaching has always been a love of mine: I tutored informally for the joy of it in High School, and when at Harvard, tutored local HS students as a volunteer, and fellow Harvard students on behalf of the university. I am a polymath: though my BA and MA are in Physics, I spent time as a Humanities major and was...

...I have been fascinated by science and the way the world works. My brother and I watched videos on astronomy, wildlife, weather, and much more. At University I chose to continue this passion by majoring in physics. As my family is well aware, I love annoying them with random facts about physical reality, or explaining how a physical phenomenon works. The joy of doing this translated into tutoring others in their studies. I have tutored...

...at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business studying Finance and Business Analytics with a double minor in Biotechnology and Economics. Next year, I will be at the University of Michigan pursuing a Master's degree in Financial Engineering. I am fortunate to have a wide range of experience in teaching quantitative subjects (pre-algebra, algebra I/II, pre-calculus, calculus I/II/III, statistics, and economics), along with SAT & GMAT test prep experience. Additionally, I serve as a senior teaching...

...I am a sophomore at the University of Southern California, majoring in Physics/Computer Science. I have informally tutored classmates and friends all throughout highschool, and have used opportunities in college and through summer camps to be a mentor and to teach elementary school children, especially about STEM topics. I enjoy both theoretical and very applied thinking and topics and have adapted the philosophy of Oppenheimer, "The best way to learn is to teach"

...Denison University with a Bachelor of Science in physics. I want to assist up and coming college and high school students by creating a customized personal teaching system that utilizes only the methods from which they learn best. I prefer to teach physics, as I believe that to understand physics is to have intuition of the world. However, I have experience in a range of subjects, including geology, environmental science, mathematics, anthropology, computer science, and...

...university professor, my goal here at Varsity Tutors is to help you build the bridge that could connect what you already know and what you pursue in learning. After finishing my college study (EE) from the top university in China, I came to the US for graduate study in physics, when I started teaching as a TA in several EE courses such as semiconductor physics and computer architecture. I got the PhD degree in 2013,...

...Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Maryland with a strong passion for helping others succeed academically. With lots of experience tutoring students ranging from elementary to college in math, physics, and engineering courses, I focus on making challenging concepts approachable and engaging. Whether you're aiming to boost your grades, prep for an exam, or build long-term confidence in STEM subjects, I tailor each session to your goals and learning style. Let's tackle those tough...

...at Washington and Lee University, majoring in Biochemistry on the pre-med track. I have always found my science courses to be the most challenging and rewarding courses that I've taken. The main reason why I have loved these courses has been because of the terrific teachers and professors that I have been fortunate enough to have. In high school, I tutored my peers at the Math and Science Center, and I always tried to personally...

I am a recent graduate from Bucknell University as a physics major. I have spent the past 4 years teaching and mentoring other students as either a tutor or a teacher's assistant, and I would love to continue to help students grow and learn.... I recognize that each student has a preferred method of learning, so I work to identify the way a student is most comfortable learning new material, and I teach towards their strengths.

I have tutored students in Calculus, Physics, and Chemistry at the college and high school levels since I was an undergrad in College. I earned both my Bachelor and Master's Degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech. I am passionate about teaching and work towards understanding my students very well. I tailor my teaching based on my student's way of learning.

...at Nebraska Wesleyan University, where I majored in History and Music with a minor in French. At NWU, I worked in the writing center on campus, helping students from all departments on campus with their research and writing skills. Between undergrad and grad school, I taught English in rural France to high-school students, and loved seeing the improvement and learning from my students over the course of the year. My Master's degrees in History and...
