Award-Winning Organic Chemistry Tutors serving St. Charles, MO

...graduate of the University of Alaska Anchorage with a double major in Psychology and Natural Science and minors in Communication, Mathematics, and Chemistry. I began tutoring nine years ago as an afterschool and weekend math and science tutor for high schoolers through a federally funded Educational Talent Search program and have tutored students ranging from middle school through university since then. I have also been a department tutor for the chemistry department at UAA aw...

...which point I came across Varsity Tutors. My strongest subjects include English, ACT, DAT, Algebra,and Biology. I enjoy tutoring these subjects because a lot of progress can be made in them by simply looking at different strategies to approaching the subject material. I have come to understand that a great tutor is someone who can understand how a particular student learns and who works to explain the concept in a manner that encourages learning rather...

...and I have found it is often an integral part of truly mastering a topic. My tutoring approach takes a hands-on style that lets students work through problems with assistance first, and then on their own. This style allows the student to become confident in his/her knowledge of the material and face new problems with that same confidence. Each student is different and I do my best to quickly learn what works best for their...

...students with high school homework at Ranken Jordan Pediatric Hospital. Although I am qualified to teach SAT/ACT Writing, my passion lies in the field of mathematics: ACT/SAT geometry, College Algebra, Basic Calculus. I believe that improvement comes with patience and persistence. By truly communicating with a student and understanding where he/she is struggling, we can insure improvement by teaching from the basics. I try to invoke in my students my passion for education and all...

...our program did not require a community service component. I believe it is important to serve other people as an organization, so I helped to reinitiate a tutoring program between our team and a local nearby elementary school. In this program, athletes from our team go to the school for an hour a week to offer help in reading or math. The teachers and athletes all responded positively to the experience and the mentoring program...

...courses, high school AP and regular science courses, SAT test prep, and MCAT sections. One of my favorite subjects to tutor in is Chemistry as I have taken many courses in the subject and really enjoy it. When tutoring, I like to emphasize understanding of key concepts through practical applications and I like to converse with the student ahead of time to see what learning style works best for them. When I'm not tutoring, I...

...experience with teaching, having served as a teaching assistant during my time in Washington University in Organic Chemistry and as a tutor in Organic Chemistry and Biology. I have a strong background in the basic sciences and can provide a solid foundation in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I believe strongly in a holistic approach to teaching because in my experience students are far more willing to learn when seemingly arcane subjects can be tied into...

...as a Pre-Med student with any students interested in going to medical school. I have had several volunteer tutoring experiences: my first was at the Kingdom House after-school program, and the second at Midtown Catholic Charities tutoring service. I loved my time with these two programs because I was able to help K-8th graders with their task of learning fundamental concepts that would help them acquire new knowledge for the rest of their lives. I've...

...in chemistry, both from Baylor University. I also taught chemistry for five years at Boise State University. All my standardized test scores are from my first time taking the test with very little preparation. I actually enjoy taking tests (weird I know). I am very skilled at helping others to learn the topics presented, improve their test-taking strategies, and improve their score. You must "think like the test writers" and be prepared for every twist...

Medical Student at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

My education and work experience has been in organic chemistry and biochemistry. My volunteer work has included Science Olympiad and robotics. I have always enjoyed teaching, and helping students to get excited about science. My experiences with my own childrens' learning issues (ADD, autism) have made me look into better ways to present material for different learning styles.

I enjoy helping people understand material that they struggle with on their own. Each individual learns differently and there are multiple ways for people to solve a problem. With this in mind I am sure that once we understand the basic concepts and build a solid foundation it is possible to to build from there and understand the concept at hand and you will be able to understand the subject matter at hand. ... My teaching...

...two years at Southeast as an open lab tutor tutoring a wide range of subjects including College Algebra, Calculus, lower level Biology, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, General Chemistry and Biochemistry. Last summer, I had the opportunity from the National Science Foundation to do undergraduate research at Southern Illinois University Carbondale developing nano-structures to optimize a new type of solar cell. I have a passion for everything Chemistry and Biology related, but those are not my...

Hi, my name is Grant! I'm an incoming junior at Tulane University majoring in Biology, and I plan to attend medical school after graduation. I have experience tutoring in subjects like biology and math, and I focus on helping students understand material in a clear, structured way. I'm reliable, knowledgeable, and committed to helping students improve their performance and confidence. I'm excited to help you build confidence and reach your academic goals!

...stems from the fact that it forces us to think in different ways we are not simply regurgitating information, rather we are solving complex puzzles using a toolbox of strategies, knowledge, and intuition to come to the most reasonable conclusion. Over the last four years, I have learned to employ study methods and learning techniques to succeed in rigorous sciences and share these methods with students to assist them in becoming self-directed learners. I believe...

I am an adjunct at a local university with a Ph.D. in chemistry. I have been tutoring for quite a few years as well. Experience shows me the most common places students have trouble, and what often works to help them. The advantage of tutoring is being able to use an individual approach for a specific student. I like to see the positive results students get, and look forward to building careers together.

...for one of the summer programs SLU offered for potential prospects for the Engineering and Aviation program. My senior year, I was the project facilitator for a device, of my own design, for wheelchairs that creates a custom kicking motion based off the settings chosen by the user. Summer of 2020, I completed my Masters in Sports Science and Rehabilitation from Logan University where I graduated at the top of my class with academic honors....

...involved with these subjects. I believe that tutoring is about the individual. Respecting an individuals learning style is essential in conquering dense subject material because everyone approaches learning in their own way. Outside of Academia, I am involved in a number of organizations on campus - Rotaract and TEDx SLU - and have had the pleasure of working for the PASE Cadaver lab as well as Teach for America. Additionally, I participate in two research...

...the knowledge gaps in a student, and then lead them to fill in the gap by using the Socratic method . I emphasize conceptual mastery over content mastery. Once I identify the learning style of my student, I develop a customized lesson plan and study schedule tailored to it. My goal is to empower the student to think more independently and critically, and my biggest reward is when do eventually. I have taught MCAT (both...

My passion and curiosity for the sciences keeps me eager to learn about how the world around us works. I enjoy helping others who are looking to strengthen their understanding. I believe it requires a combination of critical thinking, curiosity, and imagination.
