Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Fairfield, CT

Thanks to one-on-one help in middle and high school, I not only achieved stronger grades/test scores, but gained the confidence I will continue to use even beyond graduate school. I hope to give others the same invaluable tool set!... The ways I've always preferred to learn myself are typically the ways I teach. Once it seems like a student has a pretty strong understanding of a subject, I like to play competitive or timed games. It can be anything from dry-erase board Jeopardy to quiz racing. This way practice problems don't get too repetitive, and students know they can handle the material under pressure. I've found this especially helpful with test prep!

Knowledge is power.... I would encourage them to practice questions on their own and develop good study habits. Practice makes perfect.... I would help them stay motivated by insisting that they should be persistent and do the very best they can, knowing they tried.... I would put myself in their shoes and try to target what is difficult, and find a better way they can understand it so they can relate to the topic in a more simplistic way.

...education professional, dedicated to high-quality, personalized and enjoyable learning. I’ve worked as a private tutor since 2005 and have run several successful education organizations where I trained teachers on the best practices of working with different types of learners. I leverage my Masters in Social Work to understand my students and create customized learning plans based on their strengths, incorporating hands-on learning and project-based learning. I’ve taught across Spanish, English, math, science and social studies...

...As an undergraduate I spent time working as a tutor in various subjects and also as a teaching assistant. I am available to tutor Earth Science, Physics, and Math. As a tutor I find it important to not only aid a student in learning course material but also to develop a broader understanding of the importance or application of the material. In my spare time, I enjoy snowboarding, hiking/camping, and playing and watching soccer.

...love to make films, start new projects, play the piano, read, and work with animals. I am currently working on a music startup as well as several apps with a friend from college. In short, I like to make things. Back to the most important thing; you. Just breathe. We will get through this together. At the end of the day, a string of bad test scores or that "C" in Geometry (ok, "D") is...

...my time teaching, I also completed a Master of Science in Education at Johns Hopkins University. I am currently applying to medical schools with hopes of attending in the fall of 2015. As an aspiring physician, I have a deep love of the sciences, both physical and biological, although I have a variety of expertise in several subjects. As a teacher, and in my experience tutoring, it has always been the most exciting to me...

...highly skilled middle school science teacher for the past three years in New York City public schools. This experience enables much familiarity with the standards and curriculums that some students may need help with in all subject areas. After tutoring some students I realized that they performed better in numerous tasks since they gained confidence and skills from our sessions. I believe that working one-on-one could develop better understanding of a subject since the tutor...

...better understanding of things further down the line; whether that be understanding how a cell functions in an organism or how we pronounce certain letters to form a word. I think that the key to successful learning is making whatever subject you are studying relevant to you, or if you are tutoring making that subject interesting and applicable to the student. For example, you can use baseball metaphors in geometry if the student is interested...

...my spare time, I enjoy volunteering and helping others in any way possible. I am a certified Emergency Medical Technician and can often be found volunteering for the community’s ambulance services. Additionally, I have attended two medical missions to Ecuador with the Blanca’s house organization which have each significantly enhanced my understanding of the medical field and the basic sciences. While I do tutor a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about the basic...
