Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors in Elk Grove, CA

I am a future medical student and recent engineering graduate, and I look forward to working with students in math and science.... During a first session, I would talk with the student about their academic goals, and also discuss learning strategies that have worked well for them in the past.... I like to focus on big picture objectives. I believe it is more important to understand the foundations of a process and the overarching idea, rather...

...the University of California - Davis. In my college experience, I have experienced failure and was once at a point where passing classes was a struggle. However, over the past 4 years, I have gotten nearly a 4.0 in my classes. I had to teach myself to be a good student because it wasn't always easy for me. The lessons I learned and experiences I've had helped me how to relate to someone that is...

...being a tutor and having worked in childcare. I love both learning and teaching so I am very excited for these tutoring opportunities! My philosophy has a lot to do with bringing the subject matter to life for the student and making sure they gain enthusiasm and confidence with the subject as they learn and work through the material. The specific needs for every student of course change because every one has unique learning capabilities...

...I completed a Bachelors degree in Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon University in 2014. At Carnegie Mellon I tutored my peers through our academic development center. I focused on all types of Chemistry classes in both group and individual settings. I also tutored math and reading for grade school children at the inner-city Pittsburgh school districts. I tutor science classes and ACT, SAT, and MCAT test prep. My favorite classes to tutor are anatomy/physiology and biochemistry!...

...America, Africa, and the Caribbean. I have done medical aid work in both Nicaragua and Haiti. My teaching experiences outside of academic instruction include 8 years of teaching Kenpo Karate, several years of swimming instruction for noncompetitive swimmers and triathletes, and four years training college and graduate students at annual disaster response training exercises for the Consortium for Humanitarian Service and Education. I apparently aspire to have a resume similar to The-Most-Interesting-Man-In-The-World's. As a teacher,...

...and Physics. I currently tutor those standardized tests along with math from pre-algebra through calculus II, physical science, physics and chemistry. I am looking forward to helping as many students reach their academic goals as I can while I'm here. Outside of Tutoring I am an athlete and an avid singer. I mostly sing with 2 barbershop choruses here in the area and I have a long history of acapella singing. I played football and...

...curiosity is piqued by a plethora of subjects. I am voracious in my quest for new knowledge, and love helping others explore topics that interest them. More importantly, I am enthusiastic in developing methods in understanding and learning. As a tutor, I think it is important to attack material from multiple angles and perspectives. This helps me understand where holes in understanding are, and develops the skill set necessary for acing assessments and maintaining that...

...time taking it or they are hoping to increase their score, I am to develop a personalized study plan based on their time constraints, goals, and extracurricular obligations. I provide resources and mentoring to help master content as well as develop study strategies, since a fair part of success is knowing "how to take the MCAT". Afterwards, we typically go through applications, revise essays, and I help fine tune personal statements based on the students...

...student, I was often required to educate fellow medical students, pre-medical students, resident and attending physicians, nurses, and the remainder of the healthcare team about patients, medical conditions, journal articles, etc. Teaching and informing these individuals, who all had differing levels of education, at the same time was tricky, but I found that I was able to tailor my teaching to the entire audience, so as to ensure that everyone understood what was being discussed....

...a M.S. in chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I have six semesters of undergraduate level general chemistry teaching experience at UW-Madison. During my time in graduate school I also tutored students in chemistry for a few hours a week. I enjoy tutoring organic and physical chemistry, but I am most passionate about general chemistry because it provides the foundation for thinking about chemical reactions between molecules; the knowledge of which all later chemistry subjects...
