Award-Winning IB Physics HL Tutors

...Matter Physics. I am currently working at an experimental physics lab at the University of Maryland, College Park. My tutoring style is pretty relaxed. In my experience, if someone knows what question to ask then they are already pretty close to the answer; they just need a push in the right direction. I like to help people talk through the problems. My job is to steer you in the right direction and help you reach...

...have tutored a broad range of subjects, my concentration lies in test prep and math, physics, and chemistry. The area I have the most experience with is test-prep tutoring. Let me be completely frank: reading and math are fun; standardized tests in reading and math are not. My philosophy is to make the process as easy and painless for my students as possible, by sharing tips and tricks that have worked for me and my...

...better help him/her understand what seems IMPOSSIBLE and make it POSSIBLE and ENJOYABLE. Before joining Teach For America, I volunteered for my former 6th grade English teacher and focused on two students in building their writing confidence. Teaching 6th grade science, I integrated math whenever I could and I had the opportunity to teach math for summer school. Everyone can understand math and science if they can relate to the subject. I will guide you...

...comfortable with the material and confident in their abilities. I'm glad to work with you when you feel in over your head, when you want that little bit of extra polish, and at all times in between. I ask a lot of questions to encourage you to think through whatever it is you are trying to master. I love traveling and frequently take extended road trips around the United States. I especially like driving through...

...skills in two very different contexts. Having this background also allows me to feel comfortable tutoring a range of subjects. My tutoring style can best be described as collaborative. Much of the time the problems we will tackle together will be difficult or confusing, and I will guide our work to hone in on exactly where the difficulty lies. While working to use our time efficiently, I also believe that an intense, lecture-driven approach is...

...University and another at New York University. My love for mathematics eventually led to virtual tutoring through Florida Virtual School where I tutored over 150 hours in Pre-Calculus, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and Chemistry. I love to teach because it lets me share my enthusiasm for mathematics and science with other students and helps me get a deeper understanding of material that is useful for my higher level mathematics and physics courses. As a...

...1 & 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and Calculus. However, chemistry was my first love and it remains my favorite subject to teach. I have always loved science. But what I enjoy most is helping young people learn. I believe what I do best is to help students understand the physical world that surrounds them. When I teach I focus on short lessons followed by "hands-on" student activities to reinforce the lesson. When I'm not teaching I...

I have several years of tutoring experience in the life sciences including biology, biochemistry, anatomy and physiology at the high school and undergraduate level. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Sports & Exercise Sciences from the University of Northern Colorado and a Master's Degree in Biomedical Sciences from Regis University.

...focus is on helping students understand the concepts and master the thought processes that lead to the right answer, rather than using rote memorization or oversimplified practice. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math and Physics, particularly Calculus (whose elegance made me love math again), but I'm happy to help with practically any high school class (the exceptions being History classes), test prep, or collegiate Math/Physics courses. In my free time I like to explore...

...provide the extension of the knowledge and many different ways of explaining the materials to help the student understand the information more readily. Specifically in first year physics and chemistry, I have developed many proven lessons that incorporate visual aids along with ample practice opportunities. Any student that I tutor for high school level courses will be offered online practice and study tools, as well as printed materials for use in improving understanding and concept...

My goal is to get my students to the point where they no longer need me. I like to focus on the underlying concepts so that students can apply what we learn in our sessions to problems they haven't seen before. After our sessions, my students should be able to have a concrete plan when attempting a new problem and be able to extrapolate their knowledge of concepts to master the details.... Concepts first, details later....

...that a successful teacher must develop an understanding of where the student is at and, instead of simply lecturing, be able to guide him or her to the realization of the concept being taught. In this way, the student does not just memorize facts and formulas, but learns how to navigate a topic confidently and gracefully. This method of teaching lends itself well to Physics. Memorizing a formula will only help you solve a few...

...my formal education, I have obtained a wealth of real-world experience that can benefit technically-minded students prepare for careers in science and engineering. As a Tau Beta Pi graduate from an Ivy League university, I recognize that hard work and devotion to your studies will allow you to achieve your goals. I will work with each student to set appropriate learning targets whether s/he is looking to supplement school or learning to prepare for admission...

I'm a professional actor and physicist. You're probably thinking that the two don't go together, but it does with me, and I've found a few opportunities where the two coincide. I'm a believer in hard work and never giving up. I'm well versed in math and physics. If you're in need to a tutor for yourself or your child please feel free to send me message about what you're looking for.... In my first session with...

...areas of Science. With my degree, and my experience in tutoring science, I am most comfortable tutoring the various areas of science: Biology, Chemistry, Microbiology, Anatomy & Physiology, Astronomy, and Physics. I also enjoy tutoring in English and Economics, as I took a particular interest in them during college. I like to tutor in a building style, I get the student to recall the basics of a subject, and to work through a problem by...

...hobbies and occupations. I can't make a student embrace this attitude, but I can and will encourage it. I started tutoring in high school in standardized testing and subjects such as physics and chemistry. I have found nothing in any other occupation as rewarding as seeing a student improve. My hobbies include tabletop games (like Ticket to Ride, Dominion, and Innovation), baseball (Cubs fan since I was 6-- this is the year!), and crossword puzzles....

...State Exams. My classroom teaching experience encompassed nearly four years as a full-time faculty member at Boston College, where I taught undergraduate and graduate courses in chemistry. In addition, I worked as math instructor for an advanced after-school program for children in grades 1-8. I believe that personal tutoring is one of the most effective methods of teaching as it allows the pace of the lessons to be carefully matched to the student, so that...

...few years of teaching and tutoring, I found great joy in developing that passion in other students. My favorite subject to tutor is upper level mathematics (Algebra II and beyond). This is when the true beauty of mathematics is explored and mathematics begins to have important applications, including what to what I do in international security! I stride to provide a student with creative materials and explanations that best suits their learning style. I am...

...are and where we are from, plus it is a great excuse to be outside. I have experience teaching people who struggle with English from teaching in Taiwan as well as tutoring SAT prep locally to immigrants. My strongest subjects are Math and Science. When I teach I try to use examples and explain some study methods I use to make learning faster. I also know a few tricks to help save time and make...

...real comprehension. I want my instructors and teachers to meet me at my level and bring to theirs by communicating ideas effectively, and so I bring that same attitude to each session. In my spare time I read (a lot!), journal, volunteer, and exercise. I believe the efforts of education go beyond the classroom and into our personal lives and I try my best to take care of my whole person and communicate that idea...
