Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors

...I've been tutoring and teaching in various environments since I was in high school. I focus on math and science, from basic arithmetic to college level Calculus, Physics, and Engineering. My favorite subject to teach is Physics because I believe it provides a real world application of math that allows for a deeper understanding of both subjects. In addition to academic tutoring I have also instructed skiing, surfing, hang gliding, snorkeling, sailing, and rafting. I...

...that student. I like to draw upon what a student already feels confident in and expand 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...

...Chemistry. I enjoyed my interaction with the students so much that, after graduating, I decided to adjunct lecture at a community college. There, I welcomed the exciting challenge of engaging adult learners in an introductory biology course with labs. Recently, I have garnered some extensive private experience tutoring middle to high-school age students in Algebra, Geometry, ELA, Chemistry and Biology, as an independent contractor for a couple of companies. I look forward to working with...

...of what I had learned. Hence, I try to conduct my tutoring sessions in this fashion by keeping it interactive and showing my students how what we learn is being applied to our everyday life. My understanding is that knowing the practicality of the information proves its importance to the students and makes them crave more. Furthermore, by asking simple analytical questions about the discussed topic I try to keep our session like a game;...

...ranges from mentoring children ages 3-5 years old in developing their language and literacy skills, to tutoring college students who are tackling tough Chemistry topics, and all ages in between. Not every student learns the same way, so I introduce material in different ways until it becomes relatable to the student. Enthusiasm and encouragement are important in order to keep students engaged and interested, and these are the tools I use to teach subjects that...

...others learn are two of my passions. Everyone's style is different and I enjoy working with individuals to customize a plan that will be the most beneficial and enjoyable for them. Learning should be fun! It develops your ability to critically think about the world around you, which is an invaluable skill that you will use not only in school but for the rest of your life. I specialize in the sciences and math, have...

I love helping people understand material that they have trouble working through on their own. Everyone learns differently and there is a way to teach everyone once you breakdown the information to its most basic concepts and build up from there. I am sure that together we can set you on the right path to understanding the subject matter at hand.

...I've never been a huge fan of speaking to large groups of people, but I excel in talking with small groups or one-on-one, where I feel that I can best help students. I've always been able to build a rapport with my students with my patient and easy-going personality. During my time at the University of Kentucky, I received overwhelmingly positive reviews from my students for my attitude, my willingness to help, and my careful...

...physical therapist since I will be able to combine my love for running and sports with my academic interest in science. Also, as a physical therapist, I will continue to educate others by teaching patients exercises to rebuild strength. I look forward to tutoring future students and learning more about their interests, learning styles and goals. I will adjust my method of teaching accordingly and look forward to the opportunity to help a student master their...
