Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Santa Barbara, CA

...it also allowed me to keep clear and sharp the knowledge I have acquired throughout the years. More recently I had a research assistant position that allowed me to apply all this knowledge as to gain further appreciation of how useful acquired knowledge can be. Now that I have left Puerto Rico and am now California bound, I had hoped to find a similar experience that would allow me to go back to helping students...

...I have a passion for teaching, and working with kids! I want to not only be a tutor, but be a mentor to my students. I want to be someone they can look up to and feel comfortable with. My main goal in tutoring is not only teaching students about the subject material, but to also teach them how to study and be organized on their own, when I am not there to help them....

Hello, I'm Brian Canty! I'm a patient and relaxed math and writing tutor who is preparing for his third year at UC Santa Barbara as an Electrical Engineer. I believe that communication with my students is the key to helping them learn, and that we can always find a teaching strategy that works.... It is best to work slowly and steadily with students to ensure they understand a problem every step of the way. All questions are welcome.

...survived the increasingly competitive rigors at a top research university, I am qualified to tutor biology, chemistry, physics, math, SAT, and MCAT. I scored 99th percentile in MCAT Biology and 94th percentile overall. I know the stress and I know what it takes to succeed. I have excellent time management, career planning, and study skills that I am more than happy to share with my clients. I'm comfortable tutoring middle school, high school, and underclassmen...

...that the real factors for success are time and effort, everyone has the ability to be an expert with practice and the true challenge is learning to focus on the skills someone wants to improve. I'm a huge fan of live music, hiking, swimming, running, movies and tea or ideally any combination. I enjoy anything that can represent scientific concepts, which is pretty much everything, and my goal is to help others see these concepts...

...to the student's advantage. I love having the student be able to teach me the information we covered at the end of each session - if you can teach it, you have learned it! I am currently tutoring Middle school math, Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, ACT Science, and writing college essays/editing papers. Although I love teaching the logistics of the sciences, especially in ACT format, I find passion in helping students perfect their writing skills...

...works best for you. My experience is as a teacher, as a part of Teach For America. I taught 8th grade math in Denver before I moved to Santa Barbara, where I currently am located. I studied Environmental Science at the University of Denver. That program gave me a broad and deep understanding of a range of topics, including: Mathematics (Calculus and statistics), Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Ecology, and Geography. I would love to help you...

I graduated from California State University, Channel Islands with a B.A. in Chemistry and a minor in Psychology. I have been tutoring middle and high school students in math and science for almost two years. Through this, I have realized my goal in helping students achieve their potential in their school classes. Math and science have been my favorite subjects throughout my life, so I hope to spread my passion for them with newer generations.

I worked as an Aerospace Design Engineer for an engine manufacturer in Connecticut for the past four years. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering from UConn. My strongest subjects are Math/Physics/Chemistry, but I am very strong in Geography/History as well. I was a U9 soccer coach in Connecticut last spring and mentored multiple interns and new hires at my previous job in Connecticut.

...session fun and interesting. At the same time, we must both know when to be serious in order to tackle challenging problems. I also understand that there are many ways to teach a subject, and that some students learn more effectively with one method over another. Initially, I intend to learn which methods work best with each student so that we both can get the most out of each session. I was previously a tennis...
