Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Syracuse, NY

...tutoring as a team effort as we work together to achieve success. My teaching philosophy is that every student has the potential to succeed, and the key to achieving your goal is a matter of hard work and dedication rather than intelligence. I work with all students of varying levels. For those that do not do well under the pressure of standardized tests, I strive to make test-taking less anxiety-inducing and more approachable for my...

...years of organic synthetic research. While pursuing my M.S. I was awarded a Teaching Assistantship. This involved instructing two laboratory classes each semester as well as providing tutoring services for students. The first year I was an instructor and tutor for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry for the second year. During this time I discovered my desire to educate. I am currently working as a substitute teacher for the Syracuse City School District while I...

...and later trainees, understood a concept. I was able to see the improvements first-hand and it elated me to see them succeed. I have been a 'trainer' in every career I've had. This has increased my skill in demonstrating procedural activities as well as offering multiple alternatives to obtain the same result, and establishing a more efficient way to deliver training information. My passion is mainly Biology and Chemistry, but I enjoy assisting in the...

...algebra and geometry to chemistry and physics, I loved making sense of the natural world using mathematical expressions and scientific principles. I studied Chemical Engineering at Virginia Tech and also completed minors in Green Engineering and Chemistry, giving me a further insight into the beauty of science as well as the need for new scholars to engineer a better future for the planet. My passion for math and science has continued to deepen as I...

...problem set. For economics, I held 3 hours of office hours per week where students in the course would come in with questions on weekly homework assignments or exams. I have learned chemistry and computer science from different perspectives having taken AP Chemistry and AP Computer Science in high school and taking comparable classes again in my freshman year of college. In the workshop sessions I conducted as a chemistry TA, I would work through...

...high school-aged people. As I mentioned, I'm super passionate about science, so that is my favorite thing to tutor. I also tutor math (elementary school, middle school, algebra, and calculus) and all ACT subjects, including writing. I believe that everyone learns differently, and everyone deserves an opportunity to explore their learning style. I would like to guide students while they explore the way that they learn, all while helping them understand their coursework. Realizing your...

...Bachelor's of Science degree in Chemical Engineering. I am currently working in the lab of Professor Robert Langer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology working on novel drug delivery systems for the gastrointestinal tract. I am hoping to attend medical school in pursuit of becoming a physician. I am currently interested in pediatrics and psychiatry but I am looking forward to exploring a range of available disciplines. I enjoy tutoring because I find it to...

...of Buffalo. My prior education includes two years at Colgate University as a biology major, where I then transferred to Buffalo to pursue Exercise Science and go on to PT school. I am passionate about science and math! I have a lot of experience with biology, anatomy, physiology along with various math subjects. I have numerous lab practical experiences teaching students hands on in the lab. In high school I participated in an after school...

I've been there, grappling with a difficult concept, yet determined to understand and meet my goals. As an undergrad at the University of Vermont and high school student, I was there. Sign up for an appointment and we can talk about the problems in front of you and how I can help you meet your long term goals. Coursework: high school Spanish, and entry level biology and chemistry.

...answers using relevant figures and innovative examples, creating catchy mnemonics, and solving problems from students' point of view. As a tutor, I remained accessible but maintained an appropriate distance to earn students' respect, and five out of ten students improved their scores by more than 200 points. Through these teaching experiences, I have learned not only to become a teacher from the students' perspective, but also what it takes to be an effective educational provider...

...with anybody who will listen. Since I think physics and astronomy are amazing, I love sharing my knowledge and passion for those subjects especially, and that's why I became a teacher. My passion for the subject shows when I'm teaching, and I love watching students eyes light up as they begin to understand the subject better under my tutelage. Students will be able to develop self confidence in the subjects I tutor through my positive...

...teaching assistance and small group instructor. I have taught students from elementary to graduate levels, helping them to excel in mathematics, science and standardized tests. Having taken many standardized test myself and taught at all levels I am able to not only assist with subject matter but also test taking strategies. Like any good tutor I take pride in the achievements of my student and want them to succeed. I look forward to working with.

...Chemistry, and Mathematics. During all four years of undergrad, I tutored various levels of mathematics, and I have also tutored chemistry and biology subjects. I most enjoy tutoring mathematics courses because I love helping students sharpen their logical thinking skills, and because math is the language of the universe! In particular, I really love tutoring calculus because it can be used to describe tons of real-world phenomena. My tutoring style revolves around teaching students how...

I am a Master's student in Biomedical Science and Pharmacology. I have much experience mentoring college level biology and chemistry courses, particularly Biochemistry.

...a factor that can prove to be a difference maker in achieving at the highest level. From my experience in undergrad at Cornell University to the many test-prep classes I have taken, I feel that I am knowledgeable in science subjects and mathematics and have developed strategies to best apply these techniques to standardized tests. I look forward to working with Varsity Tutors to help others the same way I have benefited from tutoring services.

...math! I understand math doesn't spark joy in many people, my passion comes from knowing there is always a solution to figure out. While tutoring, I try to always engage students by applying their hobbies and interests in the session whenever applicable. In my free time, my friends and I get together for lan parties to play league; I also enjoy four wheeling and I have more pets than you can count.

I studied biomedical engineering at the University at Buffalo. I am interested in patent law and will be attending the University of New Hampshire School of Law this Fall. I've taught a middle school summer course for the Buffalo Engineering Awareness for Minorities.

...and incredibly rich background in science and business and now I live in rural New York in a giant 1960s dairy barn (with a modern apartment built into the parlor area and a few of the stalls). Much of my income comes from teaching. I currently have two sections of statistics online that I am teaching for Gwynedd Mercy University were I serve as an adjunct lecturer. It has been me and three kids since 2010....

...I try to adapt to each of my students. As a baseline, I use a style called the 3 D's. Dictate, Discuss and then Delegate. The directing style promotes learning through listening and following directions. The discussing style promotes learning through interaction. The delegating style promotes learning through empowerment. I typically structure each of my sessions to include some amount of each teaching style. Using an appropriate mix of teaching styles helps students learn, grow,...
