Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Norwalk, CT

I am a recent graduate of George Washington University with a degree in Civil Engineering. I love teaching new students in the STEM subjects and test preparation to help them succeed.

...to create a stress-free environment where my students and I can have fun learning together. Students enjoy my fun and easy-going style even as I challenge them to solve problems through their own critical reasoning. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than when a student tells me "I'm really starting to enjoy learning about this," because in my experience, this is a preliminary step towards personal ownership of their academic pursuits. Guardians value my commitment to...

...am a dedicated, hard working individual who strives to see improvement and success in those who I am tutoring. At the end of each tutoring session, my goal is for the student to develop a better understanding for the material. Many students focus on getting answers correct or ways to memorize tricks on how to solve certain problems. During my tutoring sessions, I work with students to develop an understanding for the material by utilizing...

...that subject area as well. I am a strong believer in teaching students at their own pace. When it's one-on-one time, I make sure that we start with material that the student feels comfortable with to build on their level of confidence, which is an attribute that rarely gets enforced in a large classroom setting. Identifying a student's mastery of certain concepts will help identify why they maybe having weaknesses in a subsequent concept that...

...and reading and writing for high school, middle school, and elementary students. I have enjoyed teaching students from kindergarten to college, so I have experience in catering each session to any students' needs. Whether it be using visual tools, acronyms, or concept mapping, I am open to using the study technique that works best for you! I love to learn and wish to share that passion with all of my students. Looking forward to meeting...

...learning. Before attending Cornell, I was a student at Brooklyn Technical High School. As a result, I have a lot of experience with standardized tests such as the SHSAT, SAT, and AP exams. I believe in not only helping students work through specific material, but helping them to develop strong study habits that will carry them through other coursework and testing as well. In my spare time, I enjoy long distance running, visual arts, cooking,...

...skills, which I can apply to the development of a student's knowledge and proficiency in the classroom. As a member of the Bowdoin Residential Life Staff, I developed valuable knowledge about how to engage in challenging conversations with my peers about subjects pertaining to privilege. The skills of being able to effectively communicate with and carefully listen to your peers are the key to successful tutoring. Every student is different and my experiences as a...

...I've been tutoring students for 5 years now; mostly in sciences such as biology and chemistry (as well as advanced biology classes) and graduate school-level courses (especially for medical students), but with a variety of other subjects in which I have significant experience. I take great enjoyment from helping students at all levels meet (and often exceed!) their goals. Generally, I apply the principles that worked for me as a student - as well as...

...seeing my students break through a (figurative) ceiling in their understanding of a subject. I've found that this happens when the student is engaged and challenged, while having a playful attitude about learning. Not every subject starts out as fun for students, but working on it in the right ways can make it fun. When students feel the understanding sink in after working hard to figure it out with a tutor's help, learning can become...

I am an energetic teacher, specializing in the sciences , health and physical education. I enjoy hands on teaching and never being bored. I also tutor Regents prep for us history and global history, art and music. My hobbies are working with artists building sculptures. I am also interested in cars. I have traveled a lot and can offer my students many different point of views. Learning should always be educational and fun.

...needed help when it came to standardized testing for college admission, especially the verbal sections. I attended two years of prep school and eventually obtained a 2200. My biggest takeaway was the way I learn and retain information. I believe what makes me unique as a teacher is that I take the time to understand the needs of my students, work with them to come with a learning strategy that works for them, and create...

...Mathematics at the High School and College level. I try to teach my students not only how to solve problems in a systematic fashion, but also how to use logic and deduction to solve difficult questions which they have not previously seen. I believe that these skills are critical for future scientists and physicians. In my spare time I play guitar in a band, build and work with personal computers, and snowboard.

Nearly my entire life has been devoted to education of some sort; whether it be as a learner, teacher or, in many cases both. Thus, I consider myself a lifelong learner, being cognizant of the fact that teaching and learning are two sides of the same coin. My lifelong endeavor is to continually learn and to teach others what I have learned.

I am a graduate from Case Western Reserve University. I have tutored students of all different ages in a variety of topics, from mathematics to biology. I hope to integrate a variety of disciplines when learning subjects in math and science in order to enhance your learning experience and accomplish your goals from my session.

...comfortable asking questions, no matter their background or confidence level in the subject. In addition to academic tutoring, I've also developed strong interpersonal and communication skills through my involvement in leadership roles and volunteer work, including crisis intervention and peer advising. These experiences have strengthened my ability to connect with people, listen actively, and provide thoughtful, student-centered support. Altogether, I bring a strong academic background, over two years of tutoring experience, and a genuine desire...

...and showing them various strategies for approaching a problem. I have been tutoring both children and my peers for about ten years. I worked as a tutor for elementary, middle, and high school students privately and with tutoring centers. I was a teaching assistant in the General Engineering course at NYU and a science teacher at a charter school for students in K-4th grade. I enjoy tutoring math and science (especially chemistry) from the elementary...

...worked as a tutor and teaching assistant for first year chemistry, holding weekly sessions where I went over homework and tests. After college I worked for two years at an after-school enrichment program where I again tutored and taught classes in chemistry, math, as well as SAT and ACT prep courses. I have always enjoyed teaching in one form or another, whether it be for academic subjects, music lessons, drawing or martial arts.... My teaching philosophy...

...experience in working with college-aged students and elementary school students. I have not officially tutored high school students, but I have passively helped my friends or peers when they had trouble. Tutoring and teaching to me is very rewarding and I am always trying my best to deliver 110%. I will not give up until the student completely understands all the concepts and is able to solve problems associated with the concepts without guidance. In...

I am a currently studying Chemical Engineering, and my love for STEM has only grown since I have enrolled in university! It is my passion to share the love for science, engineering, math, and technology. I have spent over two years helping high school students and university underclassmen with their studies, and it has proven to be just as rewarding to me as it has been to the student.

...of mine comes from WB Yeats: "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." This is true for a tutor as well! Tutoring should be geared to accentuate and utilize the skills and interests of individual pupils - not just be a lecture with the same content the student sees in class. Individual tutoring and training will engage the student on a deeper level and help to further their...
