Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Federal Way, WA

Graduated from Columbia University with a M.S. Neuroscience and from UCLA with a B.S. Psychobiology. Taught high school biology and chemistry for 2 years.

I embrace a student centered approach to student learning. This means that I let the student lead the discussion of a particular problem. I have been teaching for 6 years at the high school level, having come off a BS in Math with a minor in Physics from UC Merced(go bobcats).

Over the last 20 years, I have seen all types of classes, teachers, exams, and homework. I've been the student, the tutor, the teacher, and the professor. Whatever it is that you need to get ready for, I will take the time to make sure you can get to where you want to be!

...as a primary teaching resource. To that end, I have endeavored to truly understand my students on a personal level to make sure that the way I am tutoring them is the best way for them to learn. I have constructed lesson plans for both a single person and an entire 30 student classroom.

...of teaching is making direct connections with students, understanding their strengths and struggles, and helping them move through difficulty to experience success. I make sure to focus on the emotional development of a student, not just the intellectual, because I firmly believe self-confidence is an essential ingredient for growth that can serve a student well...

...I had the opportunity to work with a class of high-functioning, non-verbal 3rd graders for a year! Throughout high school, I babysat the four children of a family friend on a regular basis, helping with (elementary level) schoolwork whenever required. I began tutoring around the same time, working with the same student for three years....

Hello! I am an engineer by training, who is looking to help young people cultivate love and interest for math and science!

...professional scientist with multiple years of experience in the biopharmaceutical field. I have spent time in the classroom with elementary aged students and am comfortable with this age group. I am also familiar with AP classes and ACT/SAT preparation. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with students and helping them achieve academic...

...way of pointing out those who haven't been part of it, but that's not my purpose. My purpose is to aid those in the muck of it so their efforts and time expenditure are met with appropriate results, because things are not easy and often times quite grueling. But we deserve better from those who...

I am a potential friendly mathematician who is also interested in computer programming.

...school and college level science and mathematics subjects, which is why I chose to teach these subjects on the Varsity Tutors platform in 2018 (my freshman year of college). When I'm not tutoring, I like to spend my time running, hiking, reading, coding, and doing research. If there's anything else you'd like to know about...

...pulsars and clouds of interstellar hydrogen. I also tutored individuals and groups in physics, math, and astronomy. My favorite subject to tutor in is math. While math is often seen as intimidating, I like making it fun and engaging. I think it's important to see math as a skill that can be learned, like reading,...

...to me, since that is the sign of true understanding. When I see someone's face light up when a complicated set of ideas is distilled into a viscerally understandable (and exciting!) bite-sized concept, I get a sense of fulfillment like nothing else. Learning math or science is all about that one moment where everything "clicks"...

...Algorithms, with a possible minor in physics. While, I am passionate about all of these subjects, I am also generally interested in the progress of technology, and find myself excited at any new breakthrough. I am a firm proponent of education, and believe it to be necessary for a proper quality of life. In my...

...sense of humor. I believe that a student works best where they are comfortable and confident. I teach with collaboration, where the student and I work together to achieve our goals. As a recent high-school graduate and current UW student I understand the pressures that weigh on students' shoulders. From ACT's and SAT's to college...

...in classrooms and via community service work. I was a teacher's assistant for grammar and honors chemistry courses at the high school level. I also assisted English Language Learner (ELL) students with questions regarding their high school coursework. No two students are alike, so I strive to personalize tutoring sessions to best facilitate the learning...

...for "trouble spots" that may occur. I believe tutors have a similar role to coaches. People who are here to help train you to be an independent learner so you can apply the knowledge learned to different problems. I find great satisfaction in assisting students excel in their own academic endeavors. Aside from tutoring and...

...the University of Washington, I found my enthusiasm for problem solving became more and more engrained into my everyday life. I believe that success within any field of knowledge comes from continual curiosity and questioning of the models and methods presented before an individual. My favorite physicist David Hilbert famously spoke "Wir mssen wissen wir...

...students of all ages. I enjoy creating STEM demonstration sessions for local middle schools and mentoring for the Girls are the 5th FUNdamental Force Program as the executive chair and founder.

I believe that education takes form in various stages and via different platforms. If you struggle with a particular material, dont despair! We just need to tweak the way you learn the material.
