Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors in Highlands Ranch, CO

...provides me. I enjoy passing on my knowledge to students and see them grow to ultimately master the material. Some of the subjects I am comfortable teaching are mathematics, chemistry and Spanish. Out of these subjects mathematics is my favorite to teach because of the logic found in the subject. I find it fascinating how, in mathematics, topics work towards a unifying theme. One of the traits which I believe makes me a good tutor...

...courses. Over the course of 10+ years tutoring, I've worked one-on-one with over 50 students -- from public schools and private schools to tutoring children in California for the "No Child Left Behind" program. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Reading, Writing and History. In addition to tutoring, I find it incredibly important to act as a mentor for K-12 students. I want them to know they have...

...in Physics and Statistics. I have always loved foreign languages and fell in love with German when I started learning it in college. I lived and studied in Berlin for a year, took all the German language classes I could (e.g. German C1, grammar, verbs, adjectives, pronunciation, literature) and am excited to help other students of all levels/experiences improve their German! I am also passionate about tutoring Statistics and Physics, because I love learning about...

...the skills needed to run a class independently of a supervisor. During my last year as a graduate student I was asked to lecture for a General Chemistry II course while a professor was on maternity leave. I was responsible for giving lectures to a class of over 350 students three times a week, administering exams and reporting final grades. These experiences have solidified my belief in the importance of education in the lives of...

...problems and gain understanding, and my goal as a teacher is to present the subject material in a way that reinforces this belief so that a student will be able to adopt a scientific attitude towards life regardless of whether or not they are studying or following a scientific discipline. As a tutor I feel that I have succeeded when a student takes the concepts and methodology we have discussed and practiced and applies them...

...pattern, so I adapt everyone's lesson plan to a style that will maximize learning! The second most important aspect of tutoring is open communication. I am always open to change, so please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you learn more effectively. I've been tutoring for 4 years now and really enjoy it. It is a great way for me to solidify that material I know as well as...

...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 am excited to have relocated to Colorado where I can enjoy many of these hobbies in my free time. I believe that the same fundamental concepts apply to any form of teaching. The key...

...the material and how it will apply to their lives. I believe that by bringing a child's interests into their school work and helping them to understand, they can develop the desire to want to further their learning. I finished my Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering at Penn State. Once I completed that, I plan to attend graduate school to continue my education -- I wish I could stay in school forever and learn about everything!...

...SAT Math tutoring with Let's Get Ready, which was my first tutoring experience. After some academic wandering I found myself as a biochemistry major and the summer after my sophomore year kind of randomly got a job doing research in a lab at Barnard. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up going to Grad School at UPenn for Chemistry, where I worked in the lab of James Petersson studying fluorescence techniques used to...

...in a little of everything I can set my sights on what really holds my attention. My primary interests lie in the sciences, where learning what makes our world turn drives my passion for knowledge. I believe that successful tutoring involves assessing how a student learns and adapting my teaching style to best fit the needs of the student. In this manner a student can learn in a way that seems to come naturally and...
