Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors serving Encinitas, CA

...variety of introductory science courses at the University of Michigan. Post-graduation, I have continued to tutor full-time in addition to doing research through the Michigan Clinical Outcomes Research and Reporting Program. I believe that all of the students I work with are intelligent, but often lecture-based learning does not fit their personal learning style. I love working with students to bridge this learning gap, helping them to genuinely understand course content and master homework and...

...of them. Over time, that has made me an efficient mentor, able to explain and expand understanding of questions without creating overreaching or false simplifications. Over the years, I've held several mentoring roles - as a senior research student, a laboratory engineer in charge of actually training newcomers, and now as a senior design mentor - and while most of those I mentored are college freshmen and sophomores, the questions and curiosities I had met...

...tutor. Finding the relationship between the fundamental principles and real life applications is how I help to build a strong understanding of key concepts and a desire to learn more. These ideas continue into my hobbies and interests: I have a strong desire to learn more whether that involves reading a scientific publication or through my own research. I also enjoy the challenge of golf and chess, woodworking, and watching my three year old twin...

Aside from being an avid scholar, I am a world traveler and enjoy trying new things! I also love to run, draw, read, and cook, either with friends or simply by myself. I stay in shape both mentally and physically: I am constantly training to be my best. Whenever the opportunity arises to help elevate someone, I take it. Helping a student reach their goals is equally as rewarding for my student and myself.

...Chemistry I & II. For the first two years that I was a chemistry instructor I was the youngest faculty member on campus and my classes would always be among the first to fill up. In my classroom, my colleagues would describe me as being the goofiest person in the room but it was something that I found necessary to connect with my students. Being a younger professor I remember what it was like to...

...my best to make every subject relatable to my students through everyday examples. I break down major concepts into more manageable pieces to help students see the larger concept. Teaching is a passion of mine. I have been teaching swim lessons for 5 years, and academic tutoring for the past 3. I have taught people of all ages, from 3rd grade through post-college. There is nothing better than seeing that “ah-ha” moment spread across a...

...was required. While doing that, I started teaching LSAT classes after work. Now, I'm a full time tutor, devoted to helping students score higher on tests and do better in classes. Because I've been a science teacher, I know how they think, why they do certain labs, and what they're likely to ask in tests. For LSAT, I've never worked with a student one-on-one and not raised his or her score. I love teaching, and...

...reviewed what was covered in class and explained concepts that students did not understand. I also compiled practice problems for the students to ensure that they understood the concepts and could apply information critically. Once I finished high school, I attended Saint Louis University (SLU) and earned a degree in Biochemistry. I worked as an athletic tutor and helped students in General and Physical Chemistry, College Algebra, World History, Basic to Intermediate Spanish and English...

...with the building blocks of matter and love learning and teaching about them. If you need help with biology, chemistry, physics, organic chemistry, physiology, or microbiology, I can be especially helpful. What about standardized tests? Taking the ACT, SAT, or AP tests soon? Yep, I can help with those as well. I recently prepared for and received a great score on the medical admissions test, so standardized testing strategies are very fresh on my mind....

...in working both in large lecture-style environments and reviews, as well as one-on-one problem solving with students. My background is in chemistry, but I can also tutor subjects up to first and second year college math and physical sciences. I try to incorporate strategies that would use the existing strengths and skills of the student when dealing with difficult problems, and I recognize the importance of motivation in succeeding in learning and education.... After introducing myself...
