Award-Winning Organic Chemistry Tutors serving New Haven, CT

...7th Grade Math, as it is a very critical point in establishing all of the fundamentals that will be used for the rest of one's math education. When I am not buried in a book I enjoy Mountain Biking, Sailing, and Kayaking. I have studied Biochemistry for two years at SUNY Geneseo, and I am currently transitioning to a career path in Health Sciences closer to home. I believe I stand out as a tutor...

...on my life agenda. I attended UCONN and graduated with a BS in Agriculture (CANR). I've done many jobs in my life (milking cows, counseling the unemployed, supervising summer work crews, guiding trail rides...) and, oddly enough, they all involved teaching in some way. Well, not the cows, but THEY taught ME a lot about patience. When I left dairy work for health reasons, my cousin suggested substitute teaching. Then a little third grade boy...

...School of Public Health where I studied the pathogenic load of enteric diseases. I studied molecular features of aging in humans, primates, and mice as a Postbaccalaureate Fellow at the National Institute on Aging. I enjoy helping people, which is mirrored by my volunteerism with the Trevor Project, American Cancer Society (ACS), and hospice volunteering. I am excited and enthusiastic about helping my students better understand subjects they find difficult. My goal is to show...

I'm an analytical chemist that has experience primarily tutoring for college general chemistry. I also love teaching about math and science in general. I have a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry from Western Kentucky University. I also have a Masters of Science in Chemistry and a PhD in Chemistry from The Ohio State University with an emphasis in analytical chemistry.

...home. I attended Stony Brook University and graduated in 2012 with a dual degree in biochemistry and health care management. I then went on to pursue a Master's in Biology at Mississippi College. I received a score of 30 on my MCAT with my breakdown being 9/10/11 (B/P/V). I've successfully completed almost all of the coursework for medical school as well save for three or four courses in the spring. I look forward to helping...

...one's weaker points, and then being able to act on those specifically is most helpful when learning. As a tutor, I help students recognize and acknowledge their weaknesses first, and work together to figure out how to most effectively practice these. Together with my students, I look forward to practicing scientific concepts and working through analytical challenges! As a continuing student myself, I will connect students with valuable and relevant resources. Science is like a...

...have two years of tutoring experience at SCSU and I am looking forward to meeting more students through Varsity Tutors. I love science, especially where Chemistry and Biology overlap, and I enjoy teaching others about science and why I love it so much. I come from a more unique background than most recent graduates. I did not attend college right after high school. In fact, it was several years before I returned to college. My...

...and exciting. I am an incoming junior at Smith College, majoring in Biology and minoring in Chemistry, hoping to pursue a research career in developmental biology working with the zebrafish model. I have experience teaching biology in classroom settings through several month-long internships/work opportunities in classroom and lab settings. My strengths are patience, endurance, and organizational skills. I am most interested in teaching 5th-college levels in subjects of general biology, general chemistry, and organic chemistry.

However, having also taken many AP courses in high school, I have a thorough working knowledge in English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Spanish, and Psychology. I have tutored all throughout high school and also have previous experience working with Mad Science of Long Island teaching...

...every student master their subject matter in the quickest / most efficient way possible. As educators, it doesn't make sense to give a student a fish but rather to teach them to fish for themselves. For this reason, I believe there are two types of students: those who make excuses and those who find a way. I believe in the power of determination and a hard work ethic. Failure is not permanent but merely a...

...assistant for general chemistry, undergraduate organic chemistry lab, and advanced organic chemistry lab. During my years doing undergraduate and graduate research, as well as my time spent as a postdoctoral researcher and research scientist, I supervised undergraduates starting their own research careers. The most valuable lesson that I have learned in my career is not to be afraid to make mistakes. Struggling through a subject can force a student to see problems from different perspectives,...

...chemistry and math, helping them strengthen their understanding of course material through individualized support, clear explanations, and collaborative problem-solving. My tutoring experience has primarily involved working with undergraduate students in a one-on-one or small-group setting. I've learned to quickly identify a student's areas of confusion and adapt my teaching style based on their learning needswhether that means breaking down complex topics into simpler steps, using analogies, or guiding them through problems at their own pace....

...the top 1% of my graduating class. When I entered college, I decided to get two bachelor's degrees in order to give me thorough training. My first degree was in biology and my second was in medical technology. I worked as a medical technologist at Stamford Hospital for three years but then I wanted to do biomedical research. I soon began at Yale University and worked side by side with some of the top research...

...Engineering from the same university. I truly hold a passion for teaching and I hope to become a professor and scientist after my Ph.D. I began tutoring during my freshman year of high school and instantly fell in love.

I also graduated on the Principal's List, as...

I thrive on learning new things and love to share that passion with students and colleagues. My first language is English, but speak primarily Spanish in my household. I am working on my Italian mastery and hope to learn German next. My long term goal is to teach at a...

...you how to absorb the material quickly and effectively to make time for other classes/activities. In addition, I can help make studying be less of a chore! There are many studies that suggest a positive mindset best promotes learning and growth, and this is how I approach my tutoring sessions in addition to my own studies. I can show you how to balance a difficult workload while keeping up your mental health. Outside of classes,...

...walk through the material with you. For the past two years, I've worked as a biology peer mentor, where I've helped students tackle coursework, prep for exams, and figure out how to manage it all. I tutor biology, organic chemistry, systems physiology, and NREMT content. Out of all of those, organic chemistry is my favorite, it's like solving a puzzle once you get the hang of it, and I love helping students see how it...

This position transformed into a leadership role, organizing our teaching team while spearheading an initiative to train fellow teaching assistants in pedagogical techniques that I learned in a course I took on the art of teaching. Lastly, in an ethics of medicine course of non-STEM majors, I prepared and facilitated discussion sections on current...
