Award-Winning IB Physics SL Tutors

...Chemistry. I have been passionate about education since high school and have been teaching, tutoring, and mentoring students from grades 6-12 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...

...to challenge myself and wanting to be different, I took a risk and joined the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program, a program that was not as well recognized at the time and was extremely difficult. Joining the IB program was the best decision I have taken thus far. I gained knowledge from all around world- different insights, different histories, different philosophies, different literature, etc. At Texas A&M University, I had the proper study skills to excel...

...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 not someone who...

...I was invited to begin working at a private test prep company. My age and affable nature helped foster the relationship between younger, unruly students and their adult instructors. I received my Bachelor of Science in Physics from Florida Atlantic University and began tutoring college students, many of whom were returning to their education after taking time off. My most frequently tutored subjects include Mathematics (Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus), Physics, Chemistry, and standardized...

...and didn't have expensive test prep classes or professional tutoring agencies within their means, yet still aspired to some of the best universities in the country. To help them achieve their dreams, I started my own six-week ACT prep program after school, free and open to everyone regardless of background or socioeconomic status. I ran this program for two years, working with over 100 students personally in the process. The program is now in its...

...achieve their best in mathematics and science. In addition to 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...

...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 that "ah-ha!" moment.

...and Engineering. During tutoring sessions, I strive to make students 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...

...Physics (SL and HL). In addition, I have tutored Algebra 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...

...made me excited. After college, I joined Teach For America and taught 6th grade science for three years because teaching students was more appealing to me than making money in engineering. Evidence of my love for teaching is throughout this history. In high school, I tutored fellow band members struggling in algebra, geometry, and calculus so they could pass and continue marching. I also helped lead a study group for the IB Physics HL test....

...of the diploma, and I was able to work with students in the areas of Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology. In college, I was also involved in tutoring, working with students in a range of subjects from College Algebra to Calculus in math, and all sorts of science courses, including Genetics, Physics, and Molecular Cell Biology. I tutor a wide range of math and science classes, but my favorites are Algebra, Calculus, and Physics. When...

...discovered my passion for helping others learn while living on campus at USF freshman year. Living in the "Engineering Living Learning Community," I was surrounded entirely by people taking the same physics and calculus classes that I was. We usually studied in groups, and I ended up being the one most people came to for help. After seeing the look in someone's eyes after a concept finally "clicks" in their head, I knew helping and...

...like to learn these subjects for the first time. Generally, my 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...

...a session. After I began teaching, I found students certainly benefit from a skilled and committed teacher. But not nearly as much as they can from a skilled tutor. The content knowledge and methods of teaching skills / content can be focused to meet the individual student in a way that it simply can't in a full classroom. Guiding the student to their own "light bulb" moment is something that I always aim for with...

...South Florida. I've been a tutor in Rampello Downtown School in Tampa for 2 years. I enjoy Math, Physics, and Art and I love to make education seem as fun as possible to encourage students to develop a bright future. My hobby is traveling and going around different cultures and countries to see different life styles and personalities. I believe that education is important and it will not only bring the world comfort, but also...

...well as Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, and Quantitative SAT Prep. I enjoy teaching students how to visualize problems and how to develop their own general approach all types of word problems. I believe that the mindset developed through a better understanding of math and science can give someone an interesting, unique appreciation for how the world works, which I find very inspiring. Outside of tutoring I enjoy playing with my dog, backpacking, weight lifting, and cooking.

...and physics, as well as preparation for the New York 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...

I have a background in physics and mathematics, with additional focuses in Japanese, computer science, and economics. I have also worked previously as a public school teacher and graduate teaching assistant. I hope to help you with your subject concerns. ... The first thing to do in a primary session with a student is to identify what they are concerned with learning and why they are seeking the help of a tutor.... The biggest goal in...

...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 problems, but understanding...

...to teach small groups coding and engine performance as well. Honestly, there are very few things in life that get me as excited as when I get the opportunity to share my knowledge with someone else. I have a strong passion for math and science, which is contagious. When I learn something new and cool, I just have to share it! I love machines, big and small. How they work. Their history. How they could...
