Award-Winning Organic Chemistry Tutors in Tacoma, WA

...can have from a young age. Since undergrad I have tutored in many subjects: math, SAT prep, Spanish, and biology. Spanish is my love; I studied it as an undergraduate and believe that the key to learning anything is understanding how the subject matter fits into the larger picture of your life. If you understand WHY you need to learn something, you have an incentive to learn it. I've tutored middle school, high school, and...

I struggled with education in my early years. After learning different methods, approaches, and understandings, I excelled in the classroom. My theory is that everyone can understand the "problem"; it's just a matter of visualizing the solution. I enjoy working with learning disorders and challenges. I look forward to meeting you and your student.

...UW, I attended Seattle Central Community College where I was lead biology tutor and worked with a vast diversity of students. It was during this time I really found my love of sharing and communicating the wonders of science with people, whether they are fellow students or those just looking to expand their knowledge base. I moved on from SCCC to the UW and became further engaged in the education aspect of science as a...

...the writing center, where I helped students with assignments ranging from freshman papers to senior theses. I have a passion for writing—I wrote a column for the school newspaper and won an award for my senior thesis—and enjoy helping students shepherd ideas from brainstorming to finished paper. The best writing involves a strong injection of personality, and getting to know students through the creative process is a privilege. I have tutored students in both the...

...from there. I help students find the connections between subjects and then give them the tools necessary to find their own answers. I know I've done my job right when a student has the confidence to defend their answers and don't just look them up in the back of the book. In the past I have tutored students from elementary school all the way up to college. I've given instruction in three different Chemistry lab...

...thrown my way so far. I am looking to move on from my engineering office background and head towards a future of teaching and tutoring. For people looking for a tutor, let me start by saying that I totally understand why STEM topics can be hard. I struggled for years trying to understand what they threw at me in classes, and there are times when I still do not understand some of the topics! My...

...Geophysics (from Texas A&M University) and Civil Engineering (from New Mexico State University) and a Master's degree in Environmental Science & Engineering from Oregon Health & Science University. I enjoy teaching and tutoring all the physical sciences but I especially like Statics, Dynamics, and Thermodynamics. I also enjoy teaching and tutoring Math, especially Differential and Integral Calculus. I have applied my knowledge of renewable energy systems to turn my home into a living sustainability lab...

...was a French Studies major at Fordham University, with a pre-medical concentration. As a result, I am passionate about a wide range of subject matter from the sciences to the humanities and want to share my passion with students at any level. Currently, I work in cancer research while I apply to medical school. I truly believe my past tutoring experiences, my strong academic track record, and passion for teaching allow me to be an...

...as a synthetic chemist before starting a PhD program. While I ultimately decided not to complete my doctorate, I did discover I had quite a passion for teaching chemistry. I then started teaching test prep courses and tutoring students, and later I started teaching general and organic chemistry at Seattle Central College. Tutoring especially appeals to me because breakthrough moments don’t always occur while class is in session. Every student has a slightly different way...

...In college, I was an advisor with the Meiklejohn Peer Advising Program. As part of this program, I helped first year students navigate the academic, social and extracurricular aspects of their college experience. Biology, Chemistry and English are my favorite subjects to tutor, and also the areas in which I have the most experience. I am a voracious reader, so Critical Reading and Writing are my strongest sections on Standardized Testing. Outside of the classroom,...
