Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in San Jose, CA

...to one day work as a surgeon. I am knowledgeable in a vast range of subjects related to math and science but the subjects I love the most are anything related to biology, especially human physiology. The human body performs amazing feats every day in order to keep us alive and to help us heal when we are injured. Everyday scientists learn something new about the body which is why I love physiology. In addition,...

...this year. I have tutored fellow classmates throughout college in a variety of subjects; I have tutored biology, physics, math, history, chemistry, and ecology. My teaching method is to make complex ideas more relative to simple concepts and everyday life. I believe that making connections to concepts while learning is the easiest way to grasp a subject. I enjoy all sports with an emphasis in basketball, baseball, football, soccer, and tennis. I played all of...

...Theater double-major at Stanford University in Northern California, Milan is very excited to be a part of the Varsity Tutors team. His main academic interests are English, philosophy, math, and computer science, but Milan enjoys many other subjects (psychology, physics, and economics to name a few).

...sciences as well as math. While at UCSB, I volunteered in a first grade classroom and assisted students one-on-one. I also volunteered with SciTrek, a program that allowed students to create their own science experiment. Throughout my schooling I have enjoyed working with peers in group setting and unofficially tutoring my younger sibling and cousins. I recognize the importance of individualized learning and will bring that into each tutoring session. As a tutor, I will...

...any field and at any level at Yale at the end of my Ph.D.: the only time it was awarded to STEM in 35 years! Now, completely immersed in research in developing best the material for clean energy technology, I really miss the teaching that I immensely enjoyed for last 10 years. My secret: success in tests (and maybe in life, too) comes from not just what we know, but what we can deliver in...

Learning is a life-long process. You might not get things the first time or the second time, but if you stick with it, you can always reach your goals. ... My first session will probably begin with some get to know you questions. I want to know how the student thinks and what they are interested in. Once we establish that, then we can move on and tackle any subject the way that works best for...

...with math and sciences. My favorite subject is Statistics, as it has several practical uses that I apply in my life nearly every day. I start by getting to know a student and observing how their mind works. I constantly ask questions to make sure their train of thought is correct as giving a direct shortcut to the right answer does not help them to deeply understand the material and prepare themselves for any type...

...Physics, Biology, and my favorite subject, Chemistry. As a graduate student, I have enjoyed being a teaching assistant and helping students learn to enjoy the college science classes that I enjoyed so much. My teaching philosophy focuses on the idea that different students learn different ways, and as a TA or a tutor, I strive to express different ways of thinking about problems. The teacher presents information one way, and I'll express it two or three...

...of two dentist parents, I have worked at dental clinics for my whole life. After coming to the States 10 years ago, I had to face many difficulties such as language barrier. However, as I overcame them, I realized that I want to help other people from all backgrounds to overcome their difficulties of their life, to do better in education and to understand that everything can be done if your heart and mind are...
