Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors serving Los Angeles, CA

...love and it remains my favorite subject to teach. I have always loved science. But what I enjoy most is helping young people learn. I believe what I do best is to help students understand the physical world that surrounds them. When I teach I focus on short lessons followed by "hands-on" student activities to reinforce the lesson. When I'm not teaching I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, biking, golf and cross-country skiing.

I like to be creative and adapt to the learning style of a student. My goal is to make learning fun and never feel like a chore.... Adapt to what kind of learning the student best responds to; that way learning is fun and easy going, and never frustrating.... Get to know each other a bit, in order to know how to approach each topic the best way possible.... I think making different suggestions on how...

...the lively mind of the student. In addition to my own tutoring practice, I've also been director of a non-profit tutoring center. Under my administration we tracked students' scores and attained the highest average grade increase in the program's history. By guiding other tutors and consulting students for feedback on their experience, I got a very keen sense of what works and what doesn't. In tutoring, I focus on results, but not to exclusion. I...

...students can personally relate to, and by using visual analogies, I demystify the math between the atoms while not reinforcing memorization like many instructors. Because of my success, my students often told me that I should be the teacher. So I decided to do just that and am now on the fast track to become a high school Chemistry teacher. After college, I worked at a pathology company preparing and screening cytology specimens for the...

...the Physical Sciences portion of the MCAT. My Chemistry, Physics, and Biology knowledge is quite extensive. I have always been fascinated by science and medicine. I have been tutoring for 3 years, and I have experience teaching from 1st grade students all the way up to college kids. I enjoy tutoring because it is a way for me to help someone academically, which I believe is a very important part of one's life.

...courses in Introductory, Physical, and Atmospheric Chemistry at the college level. For each of these subjects, I have used multiple textbooks and am familiar with different approaches to presenting the material. In addition to my time on the faculty at Trinity, I worked for half a year at Haverford College, another liberal arts college. I also served as a teaching assistant and tutor during my graduate work at the University of Chicago and won teaching...

...it would be using balloons, dry ice, tennis balls and paper wads, or even LIGHTING WATER ON FIRE. In addition to all of the chemistry subjects (up to a graduate level), I am qualified to teach physics, algebras 1-4, geometry, pre-calculus, and can do SAT and ACT math prep. Outside of the classroom I enjoy watching football and college basketball, going to broadway shows like the Book of Mormon, Wicked, and Monty Python's Spamalot, and...

...still is, my favorite subject. As an Engineer I am also well grounded in Physics and Chemistry. I've always been a good test-taker and I know what it takes to get the grades. I know that it can make a huge difference to have some one-on-one help. I like to have fun with whatever I do, but more than anything, I want to make a difference. In my free time I love to play and...

...I 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...

...complex subject and developing a students learning style and being able to adapt the information to the students needs is extremely important. Everyone learns in a slightly different way and I feel that my diverse knowledge in chemistry allows me help students look at the problem in the way that suits there learning style best. I also use a lot of visualization techniques to help bring the ideas to a more concrete realm. I moved...
