Tutors are more than expert academics; they are motivational coaches. The greatest obstacle preventing a student from learning is lack of belief in their own abilities. There is no knowledge outside the reach of anyone's understanding.

Rachel
Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +16 Subjects
I am a graduate student studying physical therapy in Boston. I spent time during two of my undergraduate semesters as a volunteer tutor for an elementary student; it was such an amazing experience I wanted to do more! I also spent the past year nannying a ten year old girl and doing a lot of homework help. As a Division I college athlete I had to maintain an excellent work ethic and develop great time management skills. I am also extremely organized and responsible. Outside of academics, I like to spend my time doing yoga, hanging with friends, or reading a good book. I have a lot of knowledge and expertise to offer and would love to help make someone's educational experience more fulfilling!

I have experience working with children from birth to 8th grade. Because of my experience, I know how to differentiate instruction to accommodate many types of learners. My genuine love of children and learning makes me an ideal tutor. I am enthusiastic about starting my teaching career and I would love to spend the summer helping students and families meet their individual learning goals.
Sherry
ACT Prep Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a current middle school science teacher. Helping others is something that I love to do and always found myself wanting to explain something to someone that I felt needed help.Prior to becoming a teacher, I was in healthcare administration. I found that as new employees joined my team, I was selected every time to train them. Each employee that I trained later moved on and got promoted.After several years in the field, I realized that the best part of my job was "teaching" others. I later left and became a teacher.I love what I do. In my opinion, it takes a special type of person to be able to teach. Teaching involves the ability to adapt, patience, fluency with words, and empathy. Without these skills, it is difficult to be able to tutor and/or teach others and help them reach a level of understanding.I love be able to watch students reach that "ah-HA" once they have reached clarification and understanding. I look forward to working with you.
Tess
Astronomy Tutor • +13 Subjects
I am a science teacher and informal educator, and I earned my Bachelor's in Geological Sciences at the University of Michigan in May 2014. As a senior in college, I considered graduate school in geology, but I was inspired to bring science into young peoples' lives and I instead completed a rigorous three-semester program in secondary science education. For this program, I worked as a teaching intern in three different secondary science classrooms, and I learned to use the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) tutoring method with small groups of students. In addition to working with middle and high school students, I regularly tutored fellow undergraduates in Geology, Astronomy, and Oceanography classes. I tutor a variety of subjects, including standardized test preparation. I am most passionate about earth science and astronomy, but I find all tutoring work exciting. It is a privilege to work with students and to promote their growth as learners.

I believe that music plays a strong role in the life of all people. Whether you decide to become a professional musician or someone who just enjoys music it can play such a monumental role in everyone's life. Music can connect people of different backgrounds, bring people together, serve as therapy for some, and even become a career for others. I believe in teaching people how to appreciate and understand music from all over the world.

Katie
Biostatistics Tutor • +9 Subjects
I received my Bachelor's degree in Wildlife Management from The State University of New York at Cobleskill. Cobleskill is in the upstate region among the Catskill Mountains and has outstanding wildlife and scenery.The courses I teach are Biostatistics, Plant Biology, Environmental Science, Earth Science, General Science, as well as test preparation and study skills. I strive in the Science department and I love teaching these subjects as much as I enjoy learning more skills. I started teaching when I volunteered at an Arboretum that was near my University. I became a member of their Education Committee and have taught outdoor environmental science classes both there and for an additional environmental school. I have also taught Hunter Education courses.Outside of teaching I am involved with Ducks Unlimited and other non-profit organizations. I enjoy practicing clay target shooting at ranges. I spend a great deal of time with my dogs. I love to cook and have large family meals, which makes Thanksgiving my favorite holiday! I have accomplished writing an article for Ducks Unlimited and it is published on their website. I feel accomplishments should be celebrated and I hope to bestow this upon my students.I have an approach to teaching that focuses on "HOW" I am able to present, encourage and get results for "WHAT" my students need. Having used tutoring during my education, I have learned multiple skills and I find what works for me and each individual student.I have access to numerous resources that I will use with my students so I can ensure all of the needs are being met.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chemistry for Engineers focuses on applications directly relevant to engineering disciplines—thermodynamics, materials science, electrochemistry, and reaction kinetics all connect to real design and manufacturing problems. Rather than emphasizing memorization of the periodic table, the course emphasizes understanding chemical principles that engineers use to select materials, predict reactions, and solve technical problems. A tutor experienced with Chemistry for Engineers helps you see why stoichiometry matters for mixing compounds at scale, or how bond energy relates to material strength.
Many students approach balancing equations as a memorization task, but it's really about understanding conservation of mass and ratio relationships. A tutor breaks down the systematic method—identifying what's being produced, counting atoms carefully, and adjusting coefficients strategically. For stoichiometry specifically, tutors help you visualize the scaling relationships and practice the unit conversion chain (grams → moles → moles → grams) repeatedly, so it becomes intuitive rather than a formula you're guessing at.
Engineering chemistry labs teach you to apply theory—measuring pH, testing material corrosion, observing equilibrium shifts—and to think like an engineer about precision, data validity, and real-world constraints. A tutor can help you design experiments thoughtfully (selecting appropriate measurement tools, identifying variables), interpret results critically rather than just plugging numbers into a report, and connect lab observations back to the theoretical concepts. This bridges the gap between textbook chemistry and the problem-solving mindset you'll need in your engineering career.
Visualizing bonds, electron configurations, and energy states is challenging because we can't see atoms directly. Effective tutoring uses multiple representations—Lewis structures, 3D models, orbital diagrams, and energy graphs—so you build a mental model rather than memorizing pictures. Tutors also connect abstractions to observable behavior: Why does ionic bonding release energy? What does an exothermic reaction curve actually tell you about the process? These questions anchor abstract concepts in reasoning you can apply to new problems.
The best Chemistry for Engineers tutors have both subject expertise and engineering context—they understand not just the chemistry, but why engineers care about specific concepts. They're skilled at asking questions that push you to explain your reasoning rather than just confirming answers, and they can connect topics to real applications (materials selection, reaction design, environmental considerations). Look for someone who emphasizes problem-solving strategy and scientific thinking, not just formula application.
Unit conversions trip up many engineering students because they treat it as arithmetic instead of a logical process. A tutor teaches you to write out your conversions as fractions where units cancel—so you can verify your setup is correct before calculating. Practice with real engineering scenarios (flow rates, concentrations, reaction yields) makes the process tangible. Once you internalize the logic of unit cancellation, you can tackle more complex multi-step conversions with confidence.
Tutoring that focuses on understanding rather than memorization builds durable knowledge—you retain concepts because you've reasoned through them, not because you crammed. Tutors help you practice with problems of increasing complexity, space out review of difficult topics, and test yourself on mixed problem sets (not just one topic at a time). These evidence-based study strategies improve both exam scores and your ability to apply chemistry principles months later in follow-on engineering courses.
