Award-Winning Evolution Tutors

I believe in helping each student reach his or her full potential. Each student learns material differently, and I try to implement different techniques to try and help everyone do his or her very best.

...a wide array of subjects with a primary focus on math and science. In addition, during college, I greatly enjoyed tutoring my fellow peers across different science subjects. Between the math and science subjects I have tutored, my favorite is chemistry. This is because I have personally experienced how daunting and complex chemistry can be at first. However, by gaining a strong understanding in the theoretical background, having the right mindset, and through practice, chemistry...

...most knowledgeable in: Ecology, Biology, Public Speaking, U.S. History, and Life Sciences. I am a very enthusiastic person and I strive to help others succeed.

...always help a student discover what they think is interesting about the subject. Once an interest is formed, appreciation and understanding easily develop. My approach to tutoring subjects that center around problem solving, such as Chemistry and Physics, is to go over a variety of example problems and learn all the different methods to solving such problems. For subjects with more abstract concepts, such as Biology, Biochemistry, and other Life Science topics, my emphasis shifts...

I am also driven to teach young students to become better overall writers and critical readers as these skills will affect all facets of their educational career.

The ability to...

...topics. One of my favored methods in how to get past those barriers is to unpack an abstract concept (such as mRNA translation, for example) into both cartoon and word pictures so that we all "see" the big picture, then add the vocabulary to the concept once all are ready to move on. Not surprisingly, I am a bit of a story teller and have more than a few book ideas floating around in my...

Instead, I think there is added value in having someone help you through a problem to understand the material as a whole (while still answering your homework problems). School is challenging, but it doesn't have to be impossible, and I hope that I can help with that...
