...comfortable, and confident in the fields they are studying. I love helping people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal. Given the right goals and assistance,...

...biology. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Human Biology and have been a high school teacher of multiple science subjects (biology, chemistry, physical science, etc.) In school, I worked as an English writing tutor for all varieties of subjects, from accounting essays to ESOL student practice. In science, I am most experienced at tutoring...

...move faster than you can handle, but I will try to challenge you to do better. We grow from solving problems and learning from our mistakes. When you study with me, you will learn not only how to do the problem, but how to think through it and why it makes sense. I am a...

Start where you are and work up from there. Setting unrealistic expectations from the get-go usually decreases confidence rather than building it.

...to know? C) How do I get from A to B? I did PhD research in computational chemistry and dream of becoming a middle school math teacher if I win the lottery. PS - My online sessions will frequently be monitored by my chihuahua, Piper. She's quiet, but expect a pop-by :)... Students learn best by doing problems and talking through their process. I like to have a student talk me through what they understand so...

...that were covered. Because I usually understood the material pretty quickly, I was often able to help my peers come to an understanding as well.

...given sufficient time and sufficient support. I have taught High School Physics and High School Chemistry for 10 years at a variety of levels. I have found that when students can make connections to real world topics they are much more likely to understand the content in chemistry and physics. I honestly believe that students...
