Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Vancouver, WA

...psychology of learning, and how to overcome obstacles that are both pre-existing and, perhaps more importantly, that we create for ourselves. An important part of my approach to working with students is first identifying whether the student's main challenge is one of content, strategy, or mindset. We can then work from there to give attention to the areas that need the most strengthening, creating a unique plan of action that will lead to success. Commonly,...

I am a high school biology teacher with a background in science and a Masters in cognitive psychology. I have been tutoring and teaching since I was in high school myself, and deeply enjoy the challenge of figuring out exactly how to help each of my students!

...achieve their goals. As a student who occasionally struggled in classes, (dang Quantum Chemistry), I was lucky to have the support of amazing tutors, teaching assistants, and professors. I became a tutor to serve that role for other students like me. Whether your goal is to complete a challenging homework assignment, crush some test preparation, or to stop feeling overwhelmed by subject material I am dedicated and excited to help! It is my teaching philosophy...

...grade levels. I enjoy teaching all areas but especially love math and reading. These are passions of mine, and you can often find me reading my own books whenever I have time. I believe that a positive environment is the key to learning. When students are happy, safe, and enjoying their tasks, they acquire new information much more quickly and easily. It is my mission to always create this environment with my students and those...

...and Mathematics. I often ended up helping my friends with math or physics problems, and during my last year of school, I led a tutoring class for general physics with calculus. My friends and the student I tutor have mentioned that I do a good job of explaining topics in different ways than the instructor did in their classes. I also try my best to let students solve problems on their own, only asking leading...

...a gap year prior to continuing graduate education in September 2018. I am eager to share my passion for the technical challenge with younger students facing the same coursework that has prepared me to succeed in college, internships, and the work force. Because everyone learns differently, I believe one on one tutoring is an extremely powerful educational resource for a student that is struggling or hoping to get ahead. I would begin a tutoring session...

...8 years. This time included working in both educational and industrial settings. As a graduate student at Washington State University, I studied cell and molecular biology and taught biology lab courses. Here, I learned that my true interest was teaching and that I enjoy helping people appreciate and understand science, which can be intimidating and confusing. I am willing to work with students to find an effective AND fun learning strategy to ensure that studying...

...the role a student myself, and I remember the struggle of encountering tough material for the very first time. I like to keep that perspective in mind when I meet with students; my tutoring style is focused on building up from strong foundational principles, rather than drilling material into one ear so it can spill out the other. I'm striving to reach that "aha" moment, when the material becomes intuitive. I love to approach science...

I'm a long-time Portland resident who has worked on a lot of cool projects in healthcare as an engineer, often helping grad students with their projects. I like flying my Phantom quad when its not raining and indoor soccer when it is.

...Galen. I have been tutoring math and test prep on and off for several years, since I graduated with my Mathematics degree in 2005. I also recently completed a second bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. I like being a tutor because I enjoy helping people find a connection with the world through math and physics. I also enjoy working with students of all ages and backgrounds to find a learning method that suits them the...

...I wanted to be a scientist. As a high school student, I was exceptionally mediocre at school. Fortunately I was accepted to Western Washington University. It was my time at Western that I found what I was capable of. Chemistry, and mathematics are such daunting subjects, I never imagined I would be able to grasp them, after all academics were not my strong suit. Through hard work, endless study sessions, and a blossoming passion I...

As an ME student at MIT, I've learned a lot about math and science, and I'd love to share that knowledge with students here. I've taught over thirty students in standardized test preparation, English, German, and various kinds of math and science. It's very important to find teaching methods that meet students' individual needs,so the first meeting will usually be largely about finding the perfect learning strategy for a student.

...University in the Department of Facial Plastic Surgery. While on the search to find another part-time job, in attempts save up some money to help me finance my medical education, I stumbled upon the Varsity tutor's website. Coming from a guy who spends his free time volunteering in the medical field, I got extremely excited about perusing a job that involves helping students who are currently in the same shoes that I was in years...

...become a teacher. I recently graduated with a B.S. In Environmental Biology and I have since worked on ecological studies of population structures, and most recently worked as a zookeeper, caring for animals and teaching guests about conservationism. I recently moved from Florida to Oregon for the nature, the people, and for the opportunities. I love to hike, to travel, and to play music. Most of all I love good stories, whether in books, video...

...Africana Studies on the pre-med track. I have 3+ years in tutoring middle school and high school students in writing, math, and science. Since my first tutoring job tutoring my peers in high school, I've realized that I enjoy problem-solving and connecting with students. I believe each student already has the tools within them to improve upon their academic performance. My job is to assist them in understanding the factors that motivate/demotivate said improvement and...

...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...

...brochure for cardiac rehab patients during my experiential rotation. With many courses in pharmacy school, I have developed a specific interest in therapeutics as well as the mechanisms of action and side effects of drugs. In my experience creating pharmacy educational content, I realized that there are many different ways to present the same information, some of which are easier to understand than the others and that with the right resources, students can understand the...

...grades (although I have both!). I want to help if you are confused, lost, or overwhelmed with all the information you have to know. When I teach, I like to be clear and organized, so I can effectively guide you through the complex concepts rather than let all the information boggle you down. I like lists because long paragraphs just become a messy pile of words. Snowboarding, photography, scuba diving, and hiking are all fun...
