Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Redmond, WA

...students starting my sophomore year and continued to provide afterschool sessions until I left high school. During my time in college, I have also tutored peers in mathematics (typically Calculus 1-3) as well as general and organic chemistry. My experience in both high school and college includes formal and informal tutoring. Much of the aforementioned experience pertains to one-on-one or small-group tutoring. In addition to enjoying tutoring, I also enjoy seeing my students succeed. In...

...individual and to adjust my own tutoring to fit the way they learn best. I believe that all students have what it takes to succeed in school, its just a matter of finding the style of learning that is most effective for them. What works or makes sense for one student will not necessarily work for the next student, and so it is essential as a tutor to be able to explain the same concept...

...senior year, I tutored another student formally in their chemistry class. Becoming a tutor for the first time made me realize how much I valued and enjoyed teaching. The opportunity to help another student with their own learning journey was a very positive experience, and it ignited an interest in tutoring again. At the moment, I am most prepared to tutor for ACT and SAT preparation in all subject areas. My personal favorite areas are...

Hello! My name is Brendon Davis and I am a student at the University of Washington. I am studying molecular biology and I hope to some day do research on diseases. Learning is a passion of mine, and I love to share understanding and ideas through tutoring!... When I both learn and teach, my goal is to make connections between various subjects and one's own experiences. By sewing a thread through various concepts and into other...

...with wildlife by cleaning up their habitats and raising trout from eggs for release as fry (juvenile fish). Math is exciting to tutor, especially using manipulatives and other forms of representation-we can do that visually online as we work together. Reading for fun is one of my hobbies, but I know how to inspire struggling readers and teach them techniques for making sense of what they're reading. I would describe my tutoring style as rigorous,...

...to help my students make their own connections between what they already know and the new material they're tackling. I've found that people tend to be much smarter than they think they are. Often all it takes is somebody to point out the similarity between that difficult subject you're struggling with and a concept that you already know and are strong in to click on that lightbulb of comprehension. My life's passion is to do...

...and study for assignments and tests when they're going to go to college. There's only so much one can do in teaching the content that we also need to teach our students how they can become their own teachers and succeed on their own. Hence, I want my students not just to do well in their math classes or exams, but I also want them to be able to grow, so they will always be...

...hear from students, "Oh, well you're a natural! You just 'get' all this math stuff." I love to watch their faces when I say that I used to hate math and actually failed Algebra 2 in high school. I never "got good" at math. I put in the right amount of effort to understand the material. That is the most important lesson that I teach. After getting an A.S. from SPSCC, I went on to...

I am a graduate from Oregon State University with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics. With years of peers tutoring through high school/college and over 1 year of professional tutoring, I am confident in assisting anyone who are interested in learning to excel in the subject of their interests. I mainly focus on Mathematics tutoring (HS, College) but also available in subjects such as General Programming, Chinese and High-School Chemistry. ... Learning could be fun. The main...

...subjects, including LSAT, SAT, and ACT. I also tutor various academic subjects, primarily in the fields of math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, followed closely by Physics. I feel that anyone can learn anything as long as it is explained in a way that is conducive to them, and I aim to achieve that in my teaching. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy ultimate frisbee, television, reading, and games of all sorts.

...on one basis. Being able to develop relationships and see students succeed has been one of the most gratifying aspects of working as a tutor. I am currently a student in a Masters of Public Health program. I will be starting medical school next year and am excited to be taking these next steps in my education. I hope to combine these degrees and one day develop programs to help underserved populations access healthcare. I...

I love the look a child gets in their eyes when they begin to understand a concept that has alluded them in the past. Whether teaching my class or working one on one with a student, seeing that success is what I strive for.... All students are capable of being successful. As a teacher, it's my job to identify the strategies and resources that will put each student I work with on the path to success.

...to be rewarding work, especially when you are able to see a student truly understand a new concept. Math, in particular, takes patience and practice, which is what I plan to impart and work on with students. Being from Alaska, I really enjoy the outdoors, especially hiking, camping, and kayaking. My friends and family, although spread out, are very important to me. I make a great effort to stay in touch with them as often...

...a new professor at the University of Washington. I enjoy teaching and working with students, and up until our recent move to Seattle, I have had the luxury of being surrounded by them while studying or working in various academic environments. Tutoring now provides me with the one-on-one teaching experience that I enjoy so much. My strong background in Chemistry and Biology and my passion for teaching allow me to find just the right way...

...how the student learns. For example, I have a friend who is not a visual learner. I was able to adjust my methods to accommodate her learning style. I have had the opportunity to learn from fantastic teachers. I have been able to learn many helpful tips and tricks to pass on to students. Not only would I be able to adjust my teaching style, I am also very patient and encouraging in my teaching...

...Just graduated college with honors in Chem and Math. Now an online tutor. The flexible schedule means I can travel and have waaaaaay more awesome hobbies than any one man should be allowed to have, basically Indiana Jones! If Indy were a barefoot chemist, and also a future carny... Anyway I really enjoy nerding out about science and science-like things, green/nuclear energy(!!!), videogames, politics, or fantasy. I read a looooot of fantasy and sci-fi! So...

...so glad I had him as my Section Leader. He was super enthusiastic about the topic, so that generated more enthusiasm among us (the students). He was really helpful when we asked him questions during lab or during office hours. Also, David brought other applications of the topic (and some tangential subjects) we were learning about during the section, so it's good to see that he had more outside knowledge of how something could be...

...local Kumon Math and Reading Center, and also was an academic coach (teaching assistant) for an Algebra 2 class under the discretion of a teacher from MIT. At Kumon Math and Reading Center, I was quickly given the responsibilities of an assistant instructor, as my boss acknowledged my ability to teach, guide, prepare work packages, and grade work. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, as I felt a great pride and happiness in seeing each...

...had a number of very rewarding years teaching Biology and Chemistry to high school students before moving to Seattle for my husband's job in 2008. In addition to my teaching experience, I have tutored a number of students in the UK, adapting my tutoring to work well with a student's individual learning style. Since residing in Seattle, I have volunteered at the library and zoo, and I have helped at a homework club at the...

...of Chemistry students allows me to know where the difficulties lie, where students typically fall behind, and the pitfalls that creep up on exams. My tutoring style deconstructs concepts in a way that students can personally relate to, and by using visual analogies, I demystify the math between the atoms while not reinforcing memorization like many instructors. Because of my success, my students often told me that I should be the teacher. So I decided...
