Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Stamford, CT

...leukemia, and I plan on attending medical school in the next year. I specialize in tutoring a broad range of subjects including chemistry, biology, and physics, as well as math subjects like algebra and calculus. I also tutor for standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, AP tests, and the MCAT. I sincerely believe that while some of the concepts presented in these subjects and tests seem initially very difficult, they become much less intimidating if...

...a little extra attention in certain subject areas. I am comfortable teaching a number of subjects at a number of different levels, but my absolute favorite subjects are Physics, Chemistry, Math and Biomedical Engineering. The basic sciences are always the most interesting because they govern the behavior of the world around us and it still amazes me how a few simple equations can apply to so many situations, including things we experience every day. My...

...associate at Yale University conducing research in genetics/neuroscience. Throughout the years I have had many opportunities to interact with and train students. Specifically, as a graduate student I have had experience as a teaching assistant for general biology and advanced genetics lab courses, and have also tutored high school students in AP chemistry. Hopefully as a tutor for VT I can make STEM courses more approachable and rewarding for high school and undergraduate students.

...and strive for depth of practice as well as breadth of knowledge. I am well trained in all of the subjects I have listed on my profile, whether through tutoring experience or academic and professional exploration. High school sciences have been a strength of mine since taking the AP exams in high school. Through tutoring, I have kept up to date with changes in the exam and curriculum. My proudest moment was when one of...

...a hebrew school tutoring kids of all ages. Primarily, I would be helping kids learning to read Hebrew or preparing for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah's. As a tutor at my synagogue, I made it especially important to create a fun learning environment that kids would not dread going to, and even look forward to. While the majority of my tutoring was at my temple, I can tutor a wide variety of subjects. At my high school,...

...seven years and with a Bachelor's degree and Masters in environmental engineering, four years of industry experience and five years as a professional sailor, I have a lot of appreciation for how the world around us works. From the simple process of doubling a recipe, to finding the optimum angle between wind and current to win a sailing race, to deeper questions about the workings of the cosmos, I hope to help students understand and...

My name is Aaron Jackson. I am a student at Columbia University in the City of New York studying biochemistry on the pre-medicine track. I also enjoy meeting new people, exploring world cultures, and developing my sense of self.

I believe that one of the biggest flaws in education is the lack of intimacy between teachers and their pupils. Instead of teaching students en masse, a more optimal approach is to make each lesson fit for the particular student. I have carried out this philosophy while tutoring in the past and I intend to continue doing so in the present and in the future.... The exact approach to responding to difficulty learning varies based on...

...learns differently, and that the key to education is adapting to each student's learning style. I was recently awarded my MD, and have a dual masters in education and chemistry. My extensive science background combined with my experience and training as an educator has given me a unique set of tools that help me maximize the benefit from tutoring sessions while making the time enjoyable for the student. As a life-long learner and science geek...

...studied at the Atlantic Acting School and the Experimental Theatre Wing, sang in a choir called Drama Cantorum, and co-founded a nationally-ranked improv team called Captain Soldier. I also spent an unforgettable semester abroad at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. Nowadays, I work with a theatre company called Grey Room NYC and a non-profit organization called Leave Out Violence. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing and watching basketball (Go...

...In addition, since high school, I have always been someone that friends entrust to look over and critique their papers before they submit final drafts. My teaching style features visual learning, mnemonics, and hierarchical organization of material. I find that hierarchically cataloguing information by topic and sub-topic helps students retain material, as students are not simply memorizing, but are understanding how concepts relate to one another. More personally, my hobbies include tennis, movies, and travel....

...their exact areas of need. I believe that the time that a student spends with their tutor is precious and needs to be utilized most efficiently if the student is going to succeed. After reviewing the student's previous work and/or test scores, together, we set up a curriculum that works to strengthen his or her weaknesses whether that be reading comprehension, grammar skills, algebra, test taking tips, time management, etc. During our sessions together, we...

...(Spring 2011). After receiving my Master's degree, I began teaching 7th grade Science at the Jean Nuzzi Intermediate School. I taught there for 3 years and am excited to be transitioning to a high school setting in Manhattan, where I will be teaching Living Environment. I have tutored most students in reading, writing and math, but also gained experience preparing older students for the Earth Science, Living Environment and Chemistry Regents exams. My favorite subject...

I strive to help everyone no matter what their needs are! Whether it be needing help on one homework question, or prepping for a major test, I'd love to help. I have experience tutoring in high sciences and mathematics, and am currently a writing tutor at my college.

...process of development. My philosophy for learning is knowing the basics well. Without understanding the basics well enough, it will be difficult to grasp more complex ideas. An example would be general biology, it is important to know how cells work because it will help a student understand how tissues work and go further into organs and then organ systems and lastly an organism. Through hard work and a commitment to understand the material, students...

My name is Davawn Hartz. I currently live and work in NYC area and am a graduate student pursuing a J.D. I am deeply passionate about education, and hope that the expertise I have developed over the course of my own education can help others improve in various areas of study. If you enjoy learning or need help, reach out and learn with me!

...and refine my teaching skills in various chemistry areas (including organic), math and standardized test prep. It is fun and gratifying to see the instant feedback and rapid progress that can come from direct interaction of one student working closely with an experienced "guide". As an instructor in Higher Ed I can attest that these "breakthrough" moments are possible, but harder to achieve in a classroom. My career in applied chemistry and dual experience with...

I graduated Binghamton University with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and a B.A. in Physics. I am employed at Thermo Fisher Scientific currently as a Quality Analyst.
