Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Washington DC

I am a recent graduate of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst where I tutored college students in various science subjects for two semesters. I have a passion for biology and chemistry that has led me to work in labs at both the University of Massachusetts...... I seek to find what motivates a student in other aspects of their life, and apply that to their studies.... A first session typically consists of getting to know one another: the learning style of the student, what motivates him or her and how much background knowledge he or she has on the subject.

...applied in real scientific investigations. When working with students I use an inquiry-based approach to gently guide them toward the correct solution. This gives them ownership of their learning while ensuring that they have mastered the material. I have been involved with education and outreach activities for over 15 years. Throughout high school I tutored and taught middle school students through a program that aimed to prepare these potential first generation college students to succeed in...

...help and consistently relied on a tutor for extra guidance, and can therefore relate to my students in many ways. Having a good tutor support system helped get me not only a D1 Football scholarship and but also the grades and test scores needed to be accepted into dental school. My goal is to get every student I tutor as far as I possibly can through tutoring, guidance, and/or mentoring in whatever goals, dreams, or...

...as handler for the GMU Women's Ultimate Frisbee team and enjoy crafting and DIY. I tutor a variety of science and math subjects but I am most passionate about biology and neuroscience. Throughout my years of taking science courses in high school and college, I have become skilled at breaking down and organizing complex science concepts into much simpler and manageable concepts to understand. I believe this will really help the students I tutor to...

...societies such as Mu Alpha Theta and Science National Honors Society. I want to teach students to be problem solvers, and mathematically literate, able to apply concepts learned to a variety of problems. My favorite subject to teach is any type of math especially upper level courses such as calculus, because the application and understanding of the subject improve not only comprehension of the subject but also many other subjects as well including science and...

...to College Algebra 1 and 2, as well as Pre-Calculus. I'm also well versed in SAT Math, so I'm interested in tutoring that as well. Experience with curriculum planning/ student assessment thanks to my stint as a Teaching Assistant in college. As a tutor I'm quite flexible; I realize every student learns at a different pace and via different methods so my main aim is to provide a supporting environment and create lesson plans tailored...

In the past, I have provided tutoring in both commercial and private contexts to individuals ranging from middle school students to adults applying to medical and pharmacy school. I specialize in providing content that is oriented towards students who are interested in careers in medicine, biomedical research,...

...high school. I enjoy tutoring a range of subjects, but particularly Math, Science, Economics, and Foreign Languages. Whatever the subject, I am a proponent of the "Teach a man to fish..." approach: rather than just focusing on giving my students the answer, I enjoy helping them understand how to think about the concepts. Even if Trigonometry sounds dry, for example, I have seen how explaining it in terms of "pretend you want to hit the...

...answers or help with their work. I have several years of experience in informal tutoring and a year of formal tutoring experience. During my sophomore year of college, I worked at a high school for at risk inner city children teaching math and science. My specialty is biology and any associated sciences, history, and essay writing. I really enjoy tutoring biology because I am very passionate about the subject. I find it fascinating and there...

...Studies. I am currently working at the NIH. I have experience tutoring college, high school, and middle school students. During tutoring sessions I like to pinpoint where the problem areas are and begin by working with students on the fundamentals. Once the basics are covered I like to work through problems together as a way to learn material, but ask that students spend some time studying topics at home/doing practice problems that we can go...
