Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Richmond, VA

...had a biology GPA of 3.87. Although I like learning, one of my favorite activities is teaching others about the subject I love. When I was in undergrad, I spent 2 semesters as a teaching assistant for physiology, and it was by far one of my favorite experiences! I loved the chance to help students learn and reach their goals. And for them to see the joy of biology! It's a tough subject, but by...

...work on is Bio/Biochem. I am also very experienced at tutoring for high school or 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...

...one on one and within group settings within my experience of tutoring. I do not like to simply give the answers to a person but, instead want the person to work their way through the problem. I find this is the best way to help students develop their own strategies for tackling future problems. Problem solving in STEM disciplines requires more than the ability to solve the problem. I have found that some students have...

...American Chemical Society. In addition, I have spent hours upon hours talking with other students 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...

...find our own math groove. As a teacher, I am their DJ 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....

...Richmond, VA for medical school. Currently a fourth year student Ill be starting a residency in Urology this coming fall. With college experience in Biology, Literature, Scientific Publishing Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry with graduate work in Medicine Ive had the pleasure of working with a number of students and peers over the years and enjoyed helping them master material for courses and exams. I pride myself on my patience and believe that, given the...

...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 in one way or another. I hope I can make anyone's learning experience exciting, fun, and as personable as possible. We, all tutors, have been in your shoes once, so I know how you feel. I want to be able to provide all kind of learning tools but,...

...Biology from the University of Texas at Austin, my M.A. in Medical Sciences from Boston University, and am currently a medical student in Virginia. In addition to my educational experience, I have nearly five years of work experience in the biomedical field. My expertise lies in the life sciences and standardized testing. I have tutored the MCAT, SAT, ACT, and GRE. I understand the importance of attaining high scores on standardized exams, as these often...

...you excel in your studies. Let's get started! As a former teaching assistant at MIT and a youth sports coach, I know how to motivate and make learning fun to you. I have a BArch in Architecture and BA French from Rice University 2000 and a MS in Architecture from MIT 2004. I currently am a Doctoral Student of Physical Therapy at VCU, Class of 2020. I have previously been an Architect for 15+ years...

...class for many students because it sometimes can become almost learning a new language. However, the goal for me was to make organic chemistry so easy to understand that it doesn’t look foreign at all. I wanted them to be able to see a problem and exactly know what steps that need to be taken. This was a great experience because it taught me the art of explaining complex concepts in common terms. In addition...

...are the STEM fields, like algebra, physics, and computer science. My favorite part of tutoring 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...

...reagents, etc..) and experimental aspects. Many students try to learn the materials by just memorizing the reactions and their concepts. In my opinion, we should try to promote the learning of chemistry through a more profound mechanistic approach. Students should be given the opportunity to participate in their parts for learning and achieving their objectives. As a tutor, I will do my best to help students work toward their goals. In my free time, I...

...level. I prefer the sciences (biology, chemistry, Earth science) and math (elementary to algebra II). When tutoring, I encourage my students arrive at the solution by continuously asking questions, rather than directly giving answers. I also enjoy the use of manipulatives to speak to a wider range of learning styles, and to add an element of fun to the learning process. My experiences have allowed me to effectively manage my time and to work with...

...I often teach other medical students in the hospital. My teaching style very flexible. I approach learning as a fun experiment; where we work as a team to find the answer, not only to the problem at hand, but how to making the topic of interest easier to learn in the future. I am well versed in many topics from elementary up to the graduate level. I am excited to meet you and have some...

Hello all, I am a PhD chemical engineering student and I double majored in chemical engineering and chemistry for my undergraduate degrees. I have been a tutor for about three years. I enjoy helping others and teaching. My research is in surface chemistry, protein synthesis and catalysis reactions

...John Tyler Community College. I received my Associate of Science Degree with a major in General Studies. Since graduation, I have begun my bachelor's degree at Virginia Commonwealth University with a major in biology on a premed track. I am most passionate about teaching K-12 education and my favorite subjects to tutor are Math (especially algebra), Science (especially biology), and English. Coming from a struggling socioeconomic city, I have seen the importance of supportive education-education...

...Physiology, General Biology, and Biochemistry, and I do my best to make the learning experience memorable and fun. I have no problem adapting to each students’ specific learning style and going as fast or slow as they need, and I believe that with determination, practice, and a little humor, no academic obstacle is insurmountable. When I am not tutoring I enjoy evening walks with my family, listening to rock music, and frequenting zoos and aquariums...

...I am a graduate from Lincoln University, Pennsylvania with a Bachelors in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and a minor in Bioinformatics. I refer to myself as a STEM tutor as I have 3+ years tutoring experience in coursework such as Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, Biochemistry, Statistics, Calculus, and Labs. I discovered my desire for tutoring in college when I stared helping my peers that experienced difficulty in their classes and have enjoyed teaching since then. Connecting...

...how I teach, and I will always do my absolute best to make the student feel at ease and comfortable. I want to get to know the student well, because I think a good relationship is the first step in a good learning environment and also because I love meeting new people and making new friends :).
