Award-Winning Organic Chemistry Tutors in Fairfield, CT

...I'm an undergraduate student at Yale University, with a prospective double major in Mathematics and History. I strive to bring students toward their lightbulb moments not by repeating facts until they're drilled in, but by helping my students understand precisely why the laws of science, the rules of grammar, and the events of history are the way they are, and by lifting the curtain on the intricacies of the subject matter. I believe that learning...

...and Math tutor at the Special Needs Clinic at New York Presbyterian-Columbia University Medical Center. My motivation for volunteering was kindled by upperclassmen and teacher assistants that helped me when I was in introductory courses. I credit attending weekly tutoring hours throughout college as playing a pivotal role in my success in these courses and the MCAT exam. I enjoy sharing and explaining concepts I understand and helping others appreciate them. Ultimately, through these experiences,...

In my free time, I am an avid soccer player and music fanatic (particularly alternative/independent rock). I am extremely passionate about teaching (both my brother and mother are teachers) and truly look forward to sharing some of the tools I have developed along the road with others. I know personally of the successes and, unfortunately, failures that have faced me...

...in the Integrated Bachelor's and Master's Program for Secondary Biology Education at the University of Connecticut, I believe that I have the prerequisite depth of knowledge and experiences in educational settings necessary to tutor all students. My emphasis as a teacher is the learning of the process rather than simply the product. Ensuring that the students have a deep understanding of the content will allow them to succeed more than simply teaching them a trick...

...I was a walk-in-tutor for students of the EOP (educational opportunity program) where I was able to help my peers who were low-income or first-generation students succeed. I tutored in a vast variety of subjects from chemistry to psychology to calculus to Spanish. In my final year of college, I was a teaching assistant for animal histology, which I believe is one of the hardest classes to ever take in college. The only reason how...
