Award-Winning High School Chemistry Tutors serving Manhattan, NY

Hello All! My name is Francis and I am excited to be your tutor here on Varsity Tutors. A little about myself, I am a Doctorate of Pharmacy holder which I obtained during my tenure in Miami, Flordia.. Go Dolphins! I'm a big beach head, and I love to help others succeed in where they may be experiencing difficulty. Feel free to ask me anything and we can get through it together.

...context - to act as a guide in learning, not an answer key. I understand how to deconstruct complex ideas into basic concepts and to build knowledge on strong fundamentals. Rather than bombard a student with information, I want to communicate and receive feedback to understand how they learn. One-on-one tutoring allows students the opportunity to learn at their own pace which is especially important for those in the NYC school system. Aside from academics,...

...in the East Village, a neighborhood packed with coffee shops, bars, live music, and just a generally awesome Hispanic/artsy culture. Back in college, I served as a teaching assistant and tutor for a Microbiology honors course for Biology majors, as well as an Introductory Biology/Life Science course for students fulfilling their General Science credits. My time spent as a TA included lecture style teaching and overseeing laboratory sessions for a 20-30 student class, as well...

...genuinely find the work very rewarding. I have been teaching and tutoring informally for many years now, sometimes through established positions, but more often out of goodwill. I am a member of the Northeastern Downbeats, a co-ed a cappella group on campus. In the past, I played on my high school's ultimate frisbee team and captained my high school's badminton team. In my free time, I enjoy playing piano, watching TV, or playing board games.

I was introduced to tutoring through a love of helping my friends succeed, and finding wonderful friends that helped me succeed. The feeling of understanding something is amazing, and the feeling of helping someone understand something is rewarding. Above all, I encourage critical thinking in everything I teach. Memorizing formulas and facts is good for short-term learning, but to truly understand a concept it is necessary to stimulate our minds to see patterns and connections.

...a member of Mu Alpha Theta where I taught students geometry and algebra for two years. I tutor Computer Science, Math subjects up to Calculus III, Physics, and ACT Prep. In my tutoring experiences, I find that learning and adapting to your interests and areas of expertise helps you understand the material on a much deeper level. In my free time, I typically program applications and games in C, C++, Python, and Java.

I have previously taught the physical sciences portion of the MCATs. I have also tutored students in chemistry and math in the past. My role as an MCAT instructor was to design and create lesson plans for the students to go over in a classroom setting. I would create weekly tests to decide who needed more help in certain subject areas.

...a year. I've also worked as a teacher for a high school class for a few months. I have a good handle on math and science subjects. I also like tutoring test prep subjects to share my tips and tricks. You'll probably hear a sports analogy or two while working with me :) I like mixing up my tutoring style to engage students and hope to learn as much from them as they do from...

...am passionate about how useful it is to capitalize on both your left and right brain at a young age to encourage creative problem solving. I have experience tutoring at the elementary, middle, high school, and college level. I know this is an unprecedented time for all, especially for those students and parents trying to adapt to a new way of education. I am happy to help you navigate and adapt, whether that's through providing...

...multiple summers. I am able to tutor admissions tests such as the SHSAT and SAT as well as many topics such as biology, chemistry and more. I find that SHSAT and SAT are the most fun to tutor because of how straightforward most of the questions are. As a pretty outgoing person, I would best describe my teaching style as engaging and interactive. I want tutoring sessions not to seem like a lecture, but a...

...I focus on fostering a positive and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring concepts at their own pace. Whether it's working through complex math problems or understanding language principles, I tailor my teaching methods to each student's unique learning style, ensuring they build both competence and confidence. With a blend of patience, encouragement, and practical insight, I'm here to help students excel in their studies. Let's tackle challenges together and...

...of the laboratory, I have worked in pharmaceuticals, investment banking and tech startups where I currently hold a position in management consulting. In my free time I enjoy reading biographies, traveling the world, playing soccer/basketball and hiking. I love to tutor because I think education is one of the most important pillars to success. I started tutoring in high school and haven't stopped, constantly learning as much from the students I mentor as they learn...

...school and major in college, I have plenty of experience with Calculus I through Statistics for research, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and anatomy and physiology. I love helping students in math and science and it gives me a sense of satisfaction to see other people succeed. I have experience of 3 years being an academic tutor and I love it.

...and at undergraduate level in Math, Physics and Chemistry. I am still benefiting from some of my previous students "respect and acknowledge" of what I have done in their success and interest to the science in general. After a bachelor's in physics I completed a teaching certification program and taught all 3 subjects (Math, Physics and Chemistry) at the high school level for 7 years. This experience has granted me with technics to handle several kinds...

...passion for science, math, and teaching. Graduating valedictorian of my high school class and majoring in Chemistry at the University of Miami, I'm equipped with the knowledge and experience to help you learn and study effectively. I love to motivate and inspire my students by sharing my enthusiasm for the subjects I teach, as well as relating text book information to real-world applications. I look forward to helping you reach your academic goals!

...test scores and their overall average. I specialize in homework help and prepping students for tests. When teaching, I'm very hands on and write out notes and examples on paper as I explain concepts and work through problem questions. The notes I write are yours to keep when I am done, so you can keep them to review on your own at any time. I tend to incorporate practice problems into my lesson to reinforce...

...graduated, I went to St. George's University to get my MD. I have always aspired to be a doctor! During the pandemic, when schools went online, I found that a bunch of kids in my neighborhood needed help with their math homework. So I have experience in tutoring elementary, middle, and high school math as well. My favorite tutoring moments are when my student gets the "ah-ha!" Outside of school and hospitals, I like to...

I also spent an unforgettable semester abroad at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. Nowadays, I work with a theatre company called Grey Room NYC and a non-profit organization called Leave Out Violence. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing and watching basketball (Go Bulls!), enjoying funny television shows (Louie is my favorite),...

I recently graduated from Northeastern University with a Bachelor of Science in Health Science and a minor in Global Health. During my college career, I worked as a mentor at a Boy's and Girl's Club, a Peer Tutor, and a Teaching Assistant during a study abroad program. These experiences created a passion for teaching which led me to Varsity Tutors!
