Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Washington DC

With a full military career behind me, I look forward to serving students throughout the United States in the subjects listed on my profile. I have helped out classmates with various subjects over the years, and started working as a paid tutor after graduating from college. I enjoy tutoring students and will continue the activity until recalled to active duty later this year.... The student knows how to best learn, and the teacher is there simply...

...so much of my younger siblings. This upcoming year, I will be serving through AmeriCorps as helping immigrant youth succeed in their academics as well as their individual wellness. Because I would like to keep tutoring and teaching, I decided to sign up to be a part of Varsity Tutors to help engage motivated students to reach their absolute best not only academically, but also in terms of their grit. I am an avid soccer...

I recently completed a degree in Biochemistry at St. Mary's college of Maryland and in the Fall I will be starting a PhD in Neuroscience at Vanderbilt University. I have spent 3 years in different research labs, doing work ranging from behavioral neuroscience to synthetic medicinal chemistry. My work has been presented at national conferences in both neuroscience and chemistry.

...summer of 2009, I spent three weeks participating in community service in San Juan, Argentina at the San Cayetano Community Center. While there I worked with native Argentine children each day, apportioning and distributing breakfast for them, preparing their lunch, and teaching them English. These 20 children ranged in ages from 3 to 16 years old, and none of them had any English in their vocabulary before we arrived. Thus, the challenge to communicate with...

...truly missed teaching and inspiring students; therefore, I began to teach some riding lessons again as well as help tutor students. While I enjoy tutoring many subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring science and more specifically biology and chemistry. I am constantly fascinated by science in everyday life which explains my favoritism towards biology! I am a strong believer in inquiry-based education where teacher and students constantly question and investigate problems rather than seek...

...trying and learning new things whenever I can. I started teaching as s substitute teacher for elementary school students, including some special education classes. I learned a lot of tips and tricks from my mother who is a teacher, and I loved helping other students in my classes (it helped me learn too!). I mostly tutor younger students in math, english and reading. In my free time I love to do martial arts, puzzles of...

...engaging than just memorizing a text book. I'd love to share my passion for science and success with you! I taught undergraduate biology courses at Boston University. In addition, I was a teaching assistant for biology and organic chemistry during my undergraduate career at Elon University. I am a first-year medical student who recently took the MCAT and successfully applied to medical school. I know how to master the material, and more importantly how to...

...Everyone learns at a different pace, and I am committed to learning each of my student's personalities and learning styles in order to create the best plan for success for that individual. The improvement and success from executing the plan I make with a student, yields a feeling of accomplishment and happiness that the student, parents, and the teacher can enjoy. This is what I strive for with all of my students. I have a...

...of twenty undergraduate students weekly. By assisting students with complex homework problems and answering their questions, these roles showed me the amount of knowledge required to convey even the simplest concepts. This experience allowed me to see how teaching lies at the intersection of knowledge, communication, and passion. I aspire to share my enthusiasm for chemistry and math with my students and want to make the subjects fun to learn and study.

...but when the conditions are right. I am a great tutor because I make my clients feel safe and comfortable while gently pushing them to make connections within their own mind, rather than just talking at them for an hour. I have developed an awareness and sensitivity to the unspoken feelings and patterns that allow me to gently guide students in the direction they want to go. I am not bringing expectations or my own...

...for at-risk youth and found I had a talent for helping students to connect the dots when struggling with difficult problems. Tutoring is also great mental exercise and helping a student reach an "Aha!" moment is a unique and rewarding experience. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy getting outside from my garden to the Blue Ridge, reading a good book, and every so often playing a few rounds of Overwatch ;-) .

...tutoring services to undergraduate general chemistry students. As a graduate student, I work as a teacher's assistant in general, analytical, and organic chemistry labs. I assist students inside and outside of the lab and grade papers. I enjoy teaching and have found that the art of teaching is being able to draw a mental picture in another persons mind in order for the person to truly understand a concept. The research I do in graduate...

...environment. While working here, I researched and wrote about the beneficial effects education has. In 2012 I graduated with a B.S. in Environmental Biology, and since I've graduated, I've held tutoring jobs, an internship at the Environmental Protection Agency, an English school in Quito, Ecuador, and an international school in Washington, DC. I'm dedicated, energetic and creative, I'm fluent in both English and Spanish, and I have extensive experience with languages and environmental sciences.... Education is...

...where I studied viral diseases. I've always had a passion for science and want to utilize that energy to help students gain meaningful understanding of the subject. I grew up in the rural Midwest and did not have opportunities to attend prestigious schools. My parents worked hard to provide us that opportunity and this has granted me motivation throughout my career. I believe education is vital to your quality of life and want to use...

...I can also teach Genetics, Cell Biology, Microbiology as well as Physical Science. My favorite subjects, however, are Biochemistry, General Biology and Genetics as those were the subjects I have been teaching the longest. Two years after becoming a tenured Associate Professor of Biochemistry in my home country I have moved with my family back to the U.S. in search for a better education and better future for our children. I believe a good education...

...the correct method or just the right explanation at once in order to solve a problem or understand the concept. It takes some practice to utilize all the tools and your own strength and weakness and it is easier to accomplish it when someone knows how to guide your in the right direction.

I am a college student passionate about teaching as well as motivating and inspiring young students.... I believe that the teaching process is individual to every learner and as such, believe learning should be customized and altered to the needs every unique student.... During first sessions with students, I usually like to gauge where the student is at knowledge-wise by administering some sort of pre-test, whether verbal or written. This helps me to understand what the...
