Award-Winning Honors Chemistry Tutors

...has made me a successful teacher in areas much broader then math and science. By breaking down a problem and identifying key points I believe I can lead any student to academic success. I discovered my love of teaching during my senior year of college. Now I hope that I can take what I am good at (math and science) and what I'm passionate about (teaching others) to empower students to achieve their goals.

...school, finding that I had an aptitude for analogies that helped students learn the material. I tutor a large variety of subjects, including LSAT, SAT, and ACT. I also tutor various academic subjects, primarily in the fields of math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, followed closely by Physics. I feel that anyone can learn anything as long as it is explained in a way that is conducive to them, and I...

...In my free time I play basketball, listen to music, write programs, and watch movies with my friends. I specialize in math and science of all kinds, I really love teaching biology, chemistry, and physics. I also can prepare students for the ACT. As a sophomore I have already taken physics, calculus, biology, intro chemistry, and organic chemistry. I believe I am able to break down very complex ideas to make any subject much easier...

...them, or reading about baseball in general. The last of my main hobbies is calligraphy. I've always been interested in the way that letters look, and so I'm often learning new types of handwriting, and practicing on any scrap of paper that I can find. These hobbies are all connected by a love of intricacy and an attention to detail that is found through all levels of education, especially within mathematics. I firmly believe that...

...academic development center. I focused on all types of Chemistry classes in both group and individual settings. I also tutored math and reading for grade school children at the inner-city Pittsburgh school districts. I tutor science classes and ACT, SAT, and MCAT test prep. My favorite classes to tutor are anatomy/physiology and biochemistry! As a medical student I am seeing how these subjects are applied in the human body, which makes it really fun to...

...seeing great success. With this pilot program almost complete, we will soon be implementing the idea in South Africa! As a tutor at Varsity Tutors, I hope to take all that I have learned in the past and use it to help out students to the best of my abilities. Needing tutors myself in the past, I know what I like in them and what I hoped they would improve at. Also taking from my...

...graduated from the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL. I was a Mathematics major with a strength in math. I am pretty flexible when it comes to my availability. I also live in Chesapeake, VA over the summers as that is where my family lives. I used to tutor people for service hours in high school, and even just for fun to help out my friends and siblings. I can learn any topic that I...

...varied challenges to students. One of my primary goals is to meet students where they are, understand their specific needs, and develop an individualized plan that challenges them and helps them succeed. To this end, I do not follow a specific formula during sessions with my students. Instead, I work with my students to build a plan that meets their goals and helps them achieve success. I look forward to helping you succeed in your...

...their studies and well as designing plans to help students advance through material at an accelerated pace. My academic interests are in resource economics though I have training in mathematics, the natural sciences, and public policy. Through my interests in music, teaching, and research the most valuable skill I have learned is the ability to communicate material in a clear and approachable manner. Past students have remarked that my teaching style is animated and are...

...in those fields. As your tutor, I will help you master the concepts beyond the what is required for a test or assessment; I want to show you how it shapes our world today. I can promise you my utmost passion and patience in helping you achieve your academic goals. My belief is that every student has the potential to learn, it just takes the right people to help them achieve it.

...degree in Honors Biophysics. As an undergraduate, I taught and tutored many students in a wide variety of introductory science courses at the University of Michigan. Post-graduation, I have continued to tutor full-time in addition to doing research through the Michigan Clinical Outcomes Research and Reporting Program. I believe that all of the students I work with are intelligent, but often lecture-based learning does not fit their personal learning style. I love working with students...

...and college in a variety of subjects since! I specialize in mathematics and science tutoring as well as standardized exam preparation. In the past, I have helped students achieve significant improvements and success on the SAT, SHSAT, Regents and other exams! I truly believe education is a mutual learning and teaching opportunity and enjoy helping my students achieve a thorough understanding (those "Aha!" moments) and appreciation of whatever they choose to study! In the future,...

I am committed to professionalism as a tutor, and I guarantee visible progress in my pupils; but I'm a regular person, too. In between Chemistry labs or Literature classes, you might find me reading a book on Heritage Hill, or walking my dog with my fiance. I...

...area. Being grateful to my parents for their continuous support for my education, I believe that education is the only way to advance in life. Education does not only include the accumulation of knowledge but also the application of what you have learned and the attitude associated with your application. Everything has to come in a package. I enjoy tutoring, particularly tutoring teenagers. When I was 12 or so, I had a tutor, or exactly,...

...pre-medical track, I have taken biology, chemistry, physics, organic chemistry, human physiology, biochemistry, genetics, and other upper level science courses. I have received A's in each one of these classes. I truly understand the importance of academic success, and I am excited to have the opportunity to help others reach their maximum potential. I have also been selected to be a teaching assistant for physics, which will provide me with further tutoring experience.

...own abilities and don't find problems nearly as intimidating. If a student becomes more confident in their abilities and no longer needs my help, I consider my job well done! I earned a dual Bachelor's Degree in Physics and Chemistry, with a minor in Mathematics, from a small liberal arts institution. (Or in other words, thousands of hours spent either in front of a chalk board or in a chemistry lab - and I loved...

...faculty member on campus and my classes would always be among the first to fill up. In my classroom, my colleagues would describe me as being the goofiest person in the room but it was something that I found necessary to connect with my students. Being a younger professor I remember what it was like to be a student and I remember the things that truly got my attention. I would teach my classes using...
