Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors serving Newport Beach, CA

...working with a wide variety of students. During my undergraduate studies I tutored gifted high school students looking to excel in AP and IB classes as well as on the SAT to prepare them for a strong college career. I also spent considerable time with college students in my field and similar programs. Students have always given positive reviews when I ask them about the experience, commenting that the time was enjoyable and that learning...

...California State University of Fullerton. During my time as an undergraduate, I tutored both high school and college level students. I tutored mainly biology and chemistry (CP, honors, AP and SAT II), as well as college level chemistry and biology. Being a student myself, I believe that each student has the potential to excel academically as long as he/she works hard. My teaching philosophy is that a student must fully understand the material, not just...

...of study that I take pride in knowing. They are the study of the world around us and how it works to the most minute detail. That fascinates me. So much so that I achieved a Bachelor of Science Degree in chemistry. It is my goal to put this same kind of passion, drive and excitement in all those around me. I hope that I will one day nerd out on math and science with...

...learning less stressful and more fun! I love watching students master concepts and gain confidence as they excel in their courses. One of my main goals as a tutor is to contour our sessions to your learning style! I want you to feel confident and comfortable learning and reviewing material. Personally, I am a visual learner but have helped students who are auditory, verbal, and social learners. If you do not know how you learn...

...In college, I once again found myself attracted to tutoring by helping students master the concepts behind biology, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. For four summers, I have worked as a camp counselor at the Painted Turtle supervising children, teens, and young adults. These summers at camp have refined my abilities to be an effective leader, listener, and communicator. I easily build strong, personal relationships which allow my students, and campers alike, to feel comfortable with...

...textbook material. I hope to provide an understanding into the often hard to grasp natural world. I am also a lover of fine arts and can often be found spending my free time at a local art or natural history museum. I am currently a graduate student and am also a scientist at the City of Hope where I hope to earn a PhD while working towards medical advances to fight cancer.

...graduate teaching assistant, and a high school teacher. I believe tutoring is about passion and communication. If the student doesn't care about the subject, it will be very difficult for them to learn it. I strongly believe I will be able to not just teach my students anything they'd wish to learn, but also help them enjoy it and foster a desire to learn more than just what was required. Communication is key; I am...

...in Biology and will graduate in 2014. Ever since middle school, I have been infatuated with the sciences. I've always had a fascination with trying to understand the world around me. This mentality has fueled my intense interest in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. I prefer to approach the sciences with an introspective lens as a tool to figure out a piece of a grand puzzle, rather than as an isolated unit. In addition to tutoring...

...a students needs, whether it is through visual, audio, or repetitious learning. I have been fortunate enough continue my passion of tutoring and aiding students in a year-long college program called Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) that tailors towards elementary school students with disabilities and family problems in downtown Los Angeles. However, when I do have free time, I enjoy hiking, running, reading, and playing badminton, which help me keep a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

...I taught disaster preparedness and helped with disaster recovery. Throughout my undergraduate education I traveled to the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua with Outreach360 on seven trips to teach Spanish Literacy and Public Health. I returned several times and witnessed the power of education in transforming impoverished communities. At North Carolina State University, I taught children how to eat healthy on a fixed income through Cooking Matters. I am currently teaching CPR and First Aid with...

I strive and help children that have problem areas and try to fix them the best I can. Their is always a way and different ways of learning. Each person has their own individual way of learning and expressing themselves.

...and chemistry. During my schooling I was routinely asked to break down big problems, identify the key parts, and then solve them. This same thinking has made me a successful teacher in areas much broader then math and science. By breaking down a problem and identifying key points I believe I can lead any student to academic success. I discovered my love of teaching during my senior year of college. Now I hope that I...

...enjoy teaching because both the student and I can simultaneously improve in a process that never ceases to make us better. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy pretty much any activity that gets me outside, especially if that outside happens to be in the woods or near the beach (I am from Florida after all...). While outside, I usually find myself running (again, in the woods if possible), reading, or attempting to channel my inner-Ron...

...helping people discover and appreciate the intricacies and beauty of science and mathematics. Throughout college I worked as a math tutor helping students with courses calculus and above. Once in graduate school, I had my first teaching opportunity as a teaching assistant for Honors General Chemistry. I strove to utilize the lessons I learned as a math tutor during my first teaching assistant position at Cornell University. After finishing my PhD, I took a position...

...leave the battle in victory, not resignation. I've been speaking French since I was old enough to read and I have a Russian heritage that can help out with colloquialisms and grammar. Languages and linguistics are fascinating to me and I don't get to speak mine enough, so please speak them with me! My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing amount of math (through advanced calculus). Yet,...

...and previously graduated from Rice University, Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor's degree in Cognitive Science and Biochemistry & Cell Biology. I have served on admissions interview committees for Rice and Baylor College of Medicine, have mentored and edited essays for numerous college and graduate school applicants, and served as a private tutor and classroom instructor for Advanced Biology and Chemistry courses for 3+ years. I am passionate about creating custom, individualized teaching plans for...

...at the AP level in Calculus, Biology, and Chemistry. I graduated with a B.S. in Biochemistry and now work at MIT in the biology department with a focus in genomics. I really love teaching all types of chemistry and biology as that was my degree in college, but I also love test prep because I know how overwhelming those exams can feel and I want to empower students with the keys to success. My teaching...

...University Chicago. I am working towards becoming a physician, and I expect to attend medical school next year. I have scored at the 100th percentile for 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...

...and high school math and science. In addition, I have worked in various biological and engineering labs over the years, so I have technical expertise in many general undergraduate science classes. One of my main goals as an educator is to produce students that both feel confident in their own abilities to do independent work while also knowing when and how to rely on individuals with other skill sets to help fill in the gaps....

...a personal endeavor and a necessary 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...
