Award-Winning Astronomy Tutors

...about helping others reach their educational goals. Whatever the task, no matter how long it takes, I will make sure you get the most out of your sessions and will tailor my personal approach to whatever you need. I have been tutoring middle school, high school, and college students for five years. As an Ivy League graduate, I know what it takes to succeed in a highly competitive academic environment and can help you succeed...

...students, as well as in the classroom with the Graduate STEM Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) program. As a BU Teaching Fellow I was responsible for leading discussion groups, working with students individually during office hours, and as a GK-12 fellow I spent a semester teaching with a high school physics teacher in the classroom. Because my physics background entails studying a wide variety of math backgrounds I am qualified to tutor most subjects in...

...years, tutoring my fellow students in writing across disciplines. I love helping others improve academically, and even though I have left the collegiate environment of Kenyon, I wish to continue sharing knowledge. I am honored to be able to help children and young adults succeed in academia and know the gratification of good grades, a good score, or simply a lesson well learned. I encourage my students to see the opportunities learning presents, and I...

...a technology startup in St Paul, and aim to attend graduate school in technology policy. I began tutoring in high school, and have since continued enjoyed helping my peers to see a puzzle in a new light. From four summers as a leadership camp counselor, I have gained confidence working one-on-one with a student to help them consider new perspectives, and from four years of discussion sections in college where I presented solutions to the...

...Defiance Disorder and some emotionally disturbed children. I have experience in the medical microbiology lab at the Hawaii Department of Health and a virology research lab at University of Hawaii at Manoa. I love Microbiology and Spanish! I have been studying Spanish language and linguistics for the past ten years, and combined with my Hispanic background I have been able to successfully complete a competitive interpreter training course at the University of Hawaii at Manoa....

...to teach lower, middle, and upper middle school grades. Currently, I teach middle school science in Phoenix. In addition to teaching, I presently tutor students at my school and have experience running a 21st Century tutoring program at one of my prior schools. Tutoring often closes the academic gap students that students need. My tutoring sessions are well-prepared and students can expect to be highly involved with each session. I take pride in being patient...

...came to me later, after I’d developed a strong interest in physics and astronomy, fields that rely on math heavily. I’ve also taken the time to nurture my passion for the Japanese language and culture. During college, I spent two semesters in Kyoto, Japan, where I participated in an intensive language and emersion program. During my undergraduate years I tutored students for three semesters and saw how I could gently encourage making the subject “one’s...

...I instead completed a rigorous three-semester program in secondary science education. For this program, I worked as a teaching intern in three different secondary science classrooms, and I learned to use the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) tutoring method with small groups of students. In addition to working with middle and high school students, I regularly tutored fellow undergraduates in Geology, Astronomy, and Oceanography classes. I tutor a variety of subjects, including standardized test preparation....

...enough to attend the University of Washington and earned two Bachelor's degrees in Physics and Astronomy with honors. Being the first person in my family to attend college as well as having family members in K-12, I feel that it is my responsibility to teach and motivate them to try hard in school so that they can follow their dreams and desires. This is a responsibility that I feel towards everyone, not just my family....

...as a high school and college level science teacher. I have taught chemistry, physics and environmental science at all levels including CP, Honors, AP and Dual enrollment. I have also taught IB Chemistry and IB Physics (SL and HL). In addition, I have tutored Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and Calculus. However, chemistry was my first love and it remains my favorite subject to teach. I have always loved science. But what I enjoy...

...arts college in Wisconsin, with a degree in physics. Currently, I am a data science intern for a start-up called Polco where I am learning software and analytical skills. I love snowboarding, mountain biking, playing music, and hiking so am thrilled to be living in Denver. Intellectually, I am interested in math, physics, and computer science. I think that one of the best ways to learn is by teaching so I look forward to sharing...

...a current candidate for a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree from Emory University. I previously completed my bachelor's in physics also at Emory. I intend to teach high school physics at the 11th or 12th grade level. I am currently conducting my pre-service teaching internship at various levels of secondary education. I have worked as a Teaching Assistant for Astronomy for two years, and as a personal tutor for three years.

...high school level. I am teaching science. I worked at a summer camp one summer with students of all ages. I travel whenever I get a chance and have traveled in Europe and all over the United States. I love science and teaching test prep. I am very passionate about students not only understanding the material but knowing how they can use the material in real life situations. I believe that it helps students remember...

I enjoy teaching real-world problem solving techniques that I learned while studying Mathematical Physics in college. I'm here to help students develop a deeper, more complete understanding through connections with every-day-life, because that's what I struggled with in school and I'd hate for others to struggle the same way. ... Who cares about learning something if it won't help you in real life? I teach using real-world examples and down-to-earth scenarios. My approach to problem solving...

...PA. While I am most adept at Physics, Astronomy and Math, I have always had a passion for English Grammar, proofreading and editing. That same love of English helps me when trying to communicate mathematical and scientific ideas to those for whom the sciences are a struggle. Conversely, I feel that my science background helps me teach English to people who excel more in the sciences. In my free time I like to cook, read,...

I am a physics graduate student pursuing a UTeach teaching certificate in physics and math. I'll do my best to help anyone that needs it for math and physical sciences!

...a life long connection to it. Aside from my passion for education and science, I enjoys everything outdoors. I can frequently be found snowboarding, hiking, camping, scuba diving, playing volleyball, and any adventure my dog can accompany me on. I am also a huge fan of live music and take up every opportunity to travel. I have lived abroad in Iceland, traveled to almost all of the states, and many other countries. I look forward...

...high school students in Physics, and both high school and middle school students in Latin. Most recently, I mentored students in a summer program that introduced them to the world of research, specifically to the field of solar physics. One reason that I love physics is that no one understands everything about the subject right away. It’s a complicated science, and we all need help grasping some of its more difficult concepts. This leads to...

...tutored students on many occasions in a variety of subjects. My strengths, however, lie in math and science. I have worked with students of varying ages, from grade school through high school level. My greatest satisfaction is working with a student when they 'get it', understanding a concept that had been confusing or uncertain. While this can be gradual or sudden, you can really see it when it makes sense. I also enjoy helping students...

...middle school and high school levels. I love art, science, and figuring things out, and in my spare time I like to read, draw, sing, make animated videos, hike, build things, and help out at my church. I love the challenge of trying to distill a complex idea into something I can understand and express, and I hope that by tutoring, I can help people experience the joy that I've found in learning and discovering.
