Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Richmond, VA

...my life. My biggest experience has been being an older sister. Throughout our lives, one of my priorities is to make sure that she has all the resources that she needs. I’ve gone through her classes before, so I’ve always tried to help her with her homework or help her prepare for an exam whether it be during middle school or now in college. Even now when I am in graduate school and she is...

...is getting students to that "click" moment where a weird concept suddenly makes sense, and STEM is where it happens the most. To get there, we work through a problem until we figure out a way to solve it that makes sense to both of us. I'm also experienced at SAT prep - I've gotten great scores on both sections of the test, so I can help bring any student's scores up. I know how...

...Working with preschoolers was interesting as you could see the curiosity in their eyes. These lessons gave them a spark, and the importance of this spark is evident in students of all ages. I believe if someone ever lost it, they can get it back when they find confidence in the material they're studying. I tutor a variety of subjects, including essay writing, grammar, and Italian; however, my favorite is Algebra. Many students come in...

...premed track pursuing a double major in computer science and biology. Early on in high school (Maggie L. Walker Governor's School graduate), I discovered a passion for helping others and I now have had hundreds of hours of tutoring experience in a wide range of subjects including chess, computer programming, math, and SAT prep. In addition to the subjects previously listed, I would also tutor Spanish and chemistry as they are subjects I am comfortable...

...advice, teaching and tutoring are all a gift and should presented as such. If I take a five dollar bill, place it in a thank you card and hand it to someone. It will be far better received and valued, then if I throw a balled up soaking wet hundred dollar bill at them. I have tutored people of all age groups and disciplines, from 4th and 5th grade math in the Richmond school systems,...

...in study sessions and professors at poster sessions and national research conferences. All of this means, I am very proficient in explaining chemistry and math to both beginners and students who are dealing with more rigorous courses like AP and college level chemistry. I am a Richmond, VA native, and since graduation have moved back to Richmond to remain close to my family. I am passionate about alternative energy and the role chemistry plays in...

...of new and improved approaches to teaching/tutoring. I started tutoring Math, Physics, and Chemistry for high school students during college, then worked as a Development Chemist in Jakarta for a few years. For the past 10 years, I have been teaching/tutoring Math, SAT/ ACT Prep, Chemistry, ESL, and Phonics (Reading and Writing) for K-12 students and adults. I strive to understand my students' individual needs and assess them before starting tutoring in order to effectively...

...mathematics and science courses. However, I am most passionate about Biology. I believe that every student interested in science should know the basics of the complex biological systems and how they function. Many students lose their interest in science because of the lack of understanding of basic concepts. I think it is my responsibility to help them grow their interest in science by explaining those concepts. I believe in the importance of enjoying what you...

...college level chemistry or biology courses. Having self-taught for the MCAT, I learned many mnemonics that I believe will greatly help my students. I believe a strong foundation in STEM courses promotes one's ability to problem solve and think critically throughout life, and I am eager to share the tips/tricks I have learned along the way, with new people. In my spare time I love reading, hiking, surfing, playing guitar, and watching football and basketball.

...help my students excel and I know that each person has their strengths so I play to that. I find fun, quirky ways to keep the subject interesting and if my methods don't work for you, let me know and I'll find another way that may work better for you! I'm graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University with a degree in Biomedical Engineering and after I will be going on to do my masters in Biotechnology...

...criminal justice and political certificate programs. As a busy student, I am constantly seeking ways to adapt to seemingly ever-changing learning environments. Receiving my degree in Biology produced a challenge in regards to my present job and aspirations to become a lawyer. The transition has been inspiring, however, due to the confidence and satisfaction that results from learning. I am very excited to achieve the prideful feeling of knowing with you. I believe that with...

...2004. Nowadays, I enjoy being the mom a 15 month old baby girl and the wife of my loving husband. I am all about learning and exploring new disciplines of study. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering with a special interest in web applications development. One of my biggest passions in life is to see others succeed and reach their goals. This is why I enjoy tutoring and helping in the community...

...as well as their instructor helping them to determine which genre of music speaks to them as well as introducing them to new material. My goal is for my students to be autonomous and be able to solve complex problems without prompting from me. My students need to feel safe and encouraged not only to succeed but also to feel safe to fail. We sometimes learn the most from our failures, and my students must...

I have enjoyed math for my entire life. My mom is a Calculus professor and she is a math inspiration to me. I enjoy all levels of math from elementary to high school.

...in tutoring. I have combined strong passion for tutoring mathematics and computer science. I am a self-driven leader with excellent communication and interpersonal skills who effectively collaborates with all levels of students. My tutoring experience starts from way back in college days where I was actively involved in a tutoring program and tutored students in Mathematics (Algebra, Trigonometry, Statistics, Applied Mathematics etc.) and Computer Science (Java/PHP/Perl/JEE/C/C++/HTML/CSS/Android etc.). My daughter is currently in International Baccalaureate (IB)...

...a tutor at the community college level and for adults seeking their GEDs. More recently, as an associate instructor and an adjunct professor at Randolph-Macon College, I have taught undergraduate students in topics including general biology, ecology, evolution, and ecosystem sustainability. My teaching philosophy and the practices that I use to carry it out, have evolved over my years as a professional in higher education. I believe transparency and organization are essential to developing student...

...my favorite subject ever since I started school. I began tutoring in high school, and have taken a Supplemental Instructor job at VCU for General Chemistry. My tutoring style is to first get a baseline for the student and what they are struggling with. Then, working through problems with them to make sure they are on track, and finally having them solve problems on their own to make sure they are fully understanding the material....

I am a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University with dual degrees in Mathematics with a concentration in Statistics and Financial Technology with a concentration in Actuarial Science. I have three years of experience teaching middle school and high school math (and one year of teaching science) at my church's Christian school. I also have experience tutoring high school, college, and adult students including other teachers. I believe a strong education is one of the great...

...tutoring students for the past four years in various STEM classes, including Algebra I/II, AP Calculus AB/BC, and AP Biology/Chemistry/Physics along with SAT and ACT prep. My goal is for the student to understand the 'why' behind a particular concept, so that they will be able to later solve problems effectively on their own. Lessons will be geared to explaining concepts, going over a few practice problems, and working through any student materials if available....

...in Chemistry. Even though I enjoy the sciences, I have always had a love for numbers! I have been successfully tutoring in Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics for over 8 years, helping students from elementary school to college make great academic advancements. I am a highly motivated and energetic tutor who personalizes my tutoring style based on the learning style and personality of the student. I fully dedicate myself to the student by ensuring that they...
