...best when the problem at hand feels relevant to something you care about. With 6 years as an optical research scientist, I bring real world experience to motivate interest and understanding in my students. I have experience with hands-on lab skills, computer modeling, and data analysis in a research and engineering setting. That is to say I used geometry, calculus, diff-eq's and physics everyday. I am also passionate about teaching - sharing that knowledge in...

...University. I graduated cum laude from the University of Oregon with a degree in biology and a minor in chemistry. I have a lot of experience tutoring biology, biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology at the college level as well as working with students of all ages with math, science, and English. I love creating an interactive learning environment where the student and I work together towards solving problems rather than just lecturing. I feel the best...

...like to focus most on subjects that involve deep critical thinking, like English/Literature and History classes, or standardized test prep. I also currently work as an ACT/SAT tutor at CollegeDrive in Golden, CO. I love walking with students through their learning journey and giving guidance where they need it.

...example of how to solve the problem. Then letting the student take a shot at a similar problem and see if they can solve it. Also to target specific weak areas that the student is struggling in. Usually a visual aid accompanying the problem is how I like to teach. Using videos and open discussion are also good methods. Often times engagement in both verbal and written activities at the same time are great ways...

...finishing up my Freshman year at Western Oregon University near Salem. I am studying right now to become a middle/high school science teacher. I would like to be a chemistry teacher in the future. While being pretty proficient in chemistry I am also well versed when it comes to Algebra and other math subjects. I have a lot of informal experience when it comes to tutoring and have been able to help a lot of...

...to study complex material, and studying in groups, where we each take turns "teaching" the material to each other turned out to be the most effective way for me to really comprehend the material I was learning. This affinity for teaching turned me tutoring. I also have spent quite a bit of time in the research realm, where I had to broker complex scientific topics to people and agencies that needed the gist of the...

...in Quito, Ecuador. I became fluent in Spanish during these immersion programs and fine-tuned aspects of grammar in Spanish classes. Due to my expertise, I was selected to be a Spanish II lab leader during my senior year and tutored four students in Spanish I and II.

...that are related to science. Geography in that it gives me an understanding of why certain cities are where they are at or why certain places have certain climates. Psychology in that it helps me to understand myself and to understand others. I believe in encouraging students to think critically and develop problem-solving skills which involves, asking students questions without giving them the answer where it encourages them to ask questions, and providing opportunities for...

I love teaching! It's so rewarding to help people figure things out. Aside from teaching, I enjoy books, coffee, and video games with my friends.

...Psychology. Throughout my time in academia I've spent time working with those who want to improve whether it's algebra, chemistry, biology or writing. I get particularly excited when it's time to talk science! Everywhere you look is something new end fantastic. I do bring this enthusiasm into session, and default to drawing out participation with questions, (What would happen if we changed this? What does this term mean to you? Why do you think we...

...through undergrad. High school Geometry? Yep! Real Analysis? Absolutely! Python? Not quite math, you tricky person, but sign right up. I tutor a bit of physics and computer programming as well. Test prep, too. But who am I? I am a math music philosophy nerd. I love Gauss almost as much as I love Bach and I love Bach almost as much as I like Hegel. So chat to me about that stuff if you...

Learning should happen in a fun and supportive environment. Each student learns their own way and needs a different level of help, which is why I cater each lesson to the students specific needs and learning style. The right tutor can change the way one student feels about learning and accepting challenges.

Not all information can be approached in the same manner and...

...In my opinion intellectual growth occurs when the student is challenged, not just when the student is learning something new. I prefer students in high school and college, as those are the ages I have the most experience with, but if you would like me to tutor your child I would be more than happy to help them grow. I believe that I offer a unique and effective tutoring experience, with very flexible hours and...

I have taught AP Physics since 2005 including AP Physics B, 1 and 2. Despite the fact that my students come from a Title 1 school and many of them are first generation college students, they consistently beat state and national averages with their AP Physics scores. I have attended...

...knowledge when it is needed, all relevant vocabulary and equations must be thoroughly understood. Formulas that are memorized without understanding where they come from are soon forgotten. I balance this tedium with jokes and funny faces to make my students laugh. I have found that each individual's impediments to learning can be very different. I use compassion and dialogue to uncover the causes of anxiety or helplessness technical subjects can engender. My bachelor's degree is...
