In the future, I seek to pursue clinical and pedagogical medicine and enjoy...

As a personal tutor, I can 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...

...a high school and college level science teacher. I have taught chemistry, physics and environmental science at all levels including CP, Honors, AP and Dual enrollment. I have also taught IB Chemistry and IB 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...

...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 tutor, I break down complicated problems into manageable concepts so students can gain confidence in solving these problems on their own.

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

...we learn and what students most often have difficulty with in the classroom; foremost among these lessons is the need to understand where a student is coming from and remember what it was 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...

...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 exams. As a father of two teenage boys, I understand the challenges that modern life places on family schedules. In my...

...just restricted to my high school. I took all my standardized tests my sophomore year of high school. Since then, I have tutored test prep for the PSAT, SAT, ACT, and SAT IIs as well as for AP and IB exams. While I 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...

...is doing and why they are doing. This insight will make them a stronger, faster and better student, particularly in the field of mathematics. This brings the student long term results that could extend far beyond the work done in the tutoring sessions. Mathematics is my love and economics is my passion and because of this I bring incredible enthusiasm for the subject to my work. I bring the beauty of mathematics into my explanations,...

...the experience very rewarding. I currently tutor for all levels of Physics as 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...

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.

...continued to be involved in teaching activities as lecturing and tutoring college students for more than five years. I taught and lectured many different laboratory courses and lecture sessions such as Physics I: Mechanics, Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism, Mechanics Laboratory, Electricity and Magnetism Laboratory, Optics Laboratory, Modern Physics Laboratory and Quantum Physics. As of now, I have been teaching, formally and informally, for more than 13 years. Throughout my teaching life, I received outstanding...

...that concepts can be used to intrigue students??? curiosities, stimulate their creativity, or sometimes simply leave them in awe of the world in which they live. Additionally, the useful applications of Algebra and Geometry create opportunities to engage students by highlighting their practical value. I am fascinated by the different learning styles and how I can adapt my tutoring method to a student???s specific strengths and weaknesses. When I begin with a new student, I...

...I was a tutor for math and science students in college. I was able to help students reach that feeling often over the course of the semester, and even over the course of 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...

...have some experience working with high school and middle school students, for example in after school chess programs. I particularly enjoy working with physics students. I am majoring in both physics and math, but I was a physics major first. I think the best way to improve your understanding of math or physics is through practice. I encourage students to work through as many questions as they can and bring me what they don't understand...

...Chemistry, and Physics, but I am truly passionate about learning and have taken courses in a variety of subjects. Because of my unique undergraduate college experience -- my senior year of high school was at the University of Minnesota--Twin Cities before I spent three years at a liberal arts school in upstate New York before moving to New York City to study Engineering at Columbia-- I believe I could be a great resource to high...

...II, Trigonometry and any course below that level. IB Higher Math is a bit of a hard slog for me (as for most students!), but IB Core Math and Math Studies are no problem. For university work, I can help with General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry and almost any undergraduate course in Biology or similar subjects, including Microbiology and Botany. My core strength is in Molecular Biology and Cell Biology. In addition, I can help...

...District. I teach high school science and have taught integrated physics and chemistry, physics, pre-ap level physics, and astronomy. I have also taught SAT and PSAT/NMSQT prep classes on campus. While I have taught a variety of different subjects, my strength lies in physics. I believe I'm a great tutor because I am patient and able to explain some of the more difficult concepts in physics in a way students can understand. I feel I...

I am a very patient and understanding tutor. I believe in teaching students concepts rather than training them to plug in numbers and get answers that they dont understand the meaning behind. My goal is to tutor kids into being well educated rather than well trained.... I believe that rather than spitting out answers at students, we should focus on teaching them the concepts behind every problem instead. Rather than teaching them how to plug in...

...Primarily, I have tutored mathematics for middle school and high school students. I also have experience in test preparation for the SAT, ACT, IB, AP and Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS). Additionally, I have tutored in multiple sciences, such as physics and biology. I very devoted to education and to intend to see to it that every student has the quality of education that I have been privileged to receive. Outside of school, I...
