Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors serving Madison, WI

...through a problem-solving, rather than memorization-based technique. I have found that most of the time, students are eager to understand the big picture but can sometimes get tripped up by confusing subtleties before they get there. It is my job to patiently translate that jargon into understandable concepts that enable the student to better understand the subject. I love teaching all sciences, as well as Spanish and reading techniques. Outside of teaching, I love being...

...teaching assistant for a middle school science class. During college, I spent six months as a GED tutor, working with adults. Later, I spent two years as an Organic Chemistry Laboratory teaching assistant. I am a friendly and outgoing person, and I really enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. I particularly like working with middle school and high school students, as I can challenge them and help them build strong foundations during some...

I grew up in Belgium before moving to Los Angeles in 2010, and now I live in New York. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Bioethics and Natural Sciences and recently was accepted to medical school. I am a native French and Dutch speaker (don't worry - my English is good, too!) but I also love studying and teaching sciences, including physics, general and organic chemistry, biology, as well as math and Latin.

...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 awards from the chemistry department. My tutoring experience dates back to 1996, when I started tutoring peers as an undergraduate at Swarthmore College....

...and the MCAT. I sincerely believe that while some of the concepts presented in these subjects and tests seem initially very difficult, they become much less intimidating if you have the confidence and perspective to look at the problems from the right angle. They don't have to be so challenging! I like to connect on students' levels and help them to find that confidence. In my free time I enjoy playing guitar and collecting music,...

...Merck, which I accepted. At Merck my responsibilities focus on the physical characterization of potential drug candidates in the early development phase. I greatly enjoy working in the highly interdisciplinary and challenging environment at Merck. Throughout my life I had a genuine interest in science, with a specific captivation for Chemistry. I'm happy that I could incorporate that fascination into my career. In addition to my desire to learn more about science and to apply...

...the opportunity to tutor peers and underclassmen both within and outside of school. Over the years, I've developed a strong enthusiasm for STEM educationparticularly in mathematics and the sciencesthough I'm also capable of supporting students in English when needed. I believe that learning is most effective when supported by others, whether through teachers, mentors, or peers. Having personally benefited from tutoring, I'm committed to helping students overcome academic challenges and discover their own passion for...

...passion in my particular field. On one hand, science is a small community and relies on personal, one-on-one apprenticeship in order to train the next generation of researchers and explorers. On the other hand, learning science (learning anything, in fact) is best done with context in mind; if you can sufficiently teach someone, especially a layperson, the subject matter that you are studying, then you know that you got it! I have been teaching for...

I am a chemistry student at Bates college. I have experience tutoring students from ages 4 up to undergraduate student. I primarily tutor maths and sciences. I also have a lot of experience with standardized testing.

...and will be returning to the UW to pursue a PharmD degree in 2013. I have been tutoring for six years, both informally and through organizations such as UW and Bellevue College. I like teaching and continue to tutor because I enjoy helping students improve. I believe anyone can learn math and science. I work with my students to help them understand not only how to solve problems, but also the fundamental concepts behind them.
