Award-Winning IB Physics SL Tutors

...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 seek to pursue clinical and pedagogical medicine and...

...have also taught accelerated mathematics (Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus BC) at the Episcopal School of Los Angeles and economics as a high school elective. Over the past 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...

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

...how 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...

...also wanted to strengthen my writing, analytical, and research abilities in a non-scientific context. So focusing on both was perfect for me because I was able to develop analytical and problem-solving 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,...

...as a volunteer, and fellow Harvard students on behalf of the university. I am a polymath: though my BA and MA are in Physics, I spent time as a Humanities major and was wooed by the Harvard history dept; I am currently finishing my MBA. Math and Physics are not things to be afraid of: Math is a powerful tool and language, and Physics is not only the study of how our universe works, opening...

...be a very difficult task. I enjoy teaching others math and physics through techniques which I believe are simple and straightforward and also supply a vast amount of examples through past homeworks and exams that I have accumulated over the years. I have had a lot of success with my students and try to keep myself available 24/7 for any questions they might have through texting and email, especially when it comes close to their...

...it comes to school. I am energetic and hard-working. I am very passionate for motivating and helping people in their personal growth to fulfill their potential. I currently teach at DeVry University and at Northern Virginia Community College. For many years, I have been teaching and tutoring a variety of math and science courses, including Physics, Chemistry, Statistics, and other fundamental Science courses, both at high-school and college levels. I taught onsite, online, and blended courses,...

...I was still in high school. Many students at my high school came from lower-income families 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...

...I 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...

I am a great tutor, because I am able to craft and implement lesson plans designed for individual students, as well as facilitate group sessions. I have experience teaching Supplemental Instruction at Auburn University, where in addition to lecture...

...University of 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,...

My name is Warren and I'm graduating from Furman University in May. I have four years of teaching experience and specialize in biological and chemical sciences in addition to Spanish, which I've been speaking for over 10 years. In my free time I enjoy reading medical literature, taking photographs, and traveling.

...Biology, 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...

...Missouri to pursue a PhD in Physics at Washington University in St. Louis where I am currently completing my first year. I love teaching and tutoring Math and Physics. I feel 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...

Hello, My name is Erik Dassoff and I hold a master's degree in Food Technology from a leading Dutch University. I also have a strong academic track record, having all A's throughout K-12 and my undergraduate degree. I enjoy problem-solving in math and science, but also enjoy applying it to useful real-life scenarios. I look forward to meeting and working with you! Cheers, Erik

...School 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...

...closely with peers and classmates in understanding the subject material. During my time at New York University, I served as a tutor for the Tutoring Center at the School of Engineering working with individuals and groups from a variety of subjects corresponding to Engineering, such as mathematics, physics, life sciences, with a primary focus on Chemical sciences and Chemical Engineering coursework. As a part of the University outreach program, I had the opportunity to work...

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....

...feeling when 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...
