Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors in Pasadena, CA

...CA, which is where I attended high school and first became a tutor. Since then, I've realized that teaching is something I truly enjoy, that helping a struggling student finally understand something is incredibly rewarding. I have a lot of experience tutoring chemistry and physics at high school and college level and also in math from pre-algebra to calculus II. However, I believe learning is about far more than memorizing facts that are quickly discarded...

...part of high school and mainly in college, I have been tutoring at different age levels. This includes, but not exclusive to, 5th graders needing help in geography, middle schoolers struggling in algebra, high schoolers needing help in physics, or premedical students in their approach for the MCAT. I mainly tutor math, ranging from elementary math to calculus, and the sciences. I have always enjoyed helping tutoring in math and chemistry, as I am able...

...Since graduating, I have taught Math and Science in public and private settings at middle school, high school, and college levels. While living in Boston, I had the rare opportunity to teach in a virtual classroom setting with students as far away as San Francisco. All of these experiences have helped me to grow as a teacher and tutor. Mathematics is my favorite subject to tutor. It has a reputation of being hard to understand...

Bonjour tout le monde! My name is Lobna, I have a PhD in Electrical Engineering and a passion for teaching. If you want to improve in your math/science subjects, while not getting bored, let me know! :)

...gaining their perspectives, and discussing applications of our knowledge beyond the prescribed curriculum to be helpful, interesting, and motivating. While working as a Chemistry Lab Teacher's Assistant for two years, I tried to promote this free-form group style of learning. I find the process of generating a range of ideas and then using discussion to arrive at a conclusion helps build deductive reasoning skills and more closely emulates the way in which discoveries in knowledge...

...up to college students. My main focus are the sciences and maths but I also am well experienced in writing, reading and literary/script analysis. I love science and math and it is my goal to help my students find how and why these subjects apply to their lives thus creating solid interest. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy taking my dog to the dog park, hiking, yoga, meditation and singing to my heart's content....

...the past four years, I have dedicated my efforts to tutoring elementary to high school students at a local tutoring/test prep center. Although I customarily tutor school subjects, SAT, and SAT subject tests, my strongest skills are in Math and Science. My experiences with students have taught me that a students education depends on a teachers ability to convey the subject clearly. As a result, my goal is to cater to a students needs, whether...

...the past 2 years. To me, learning is not a duty; it is having fun. I started to truly enjoy learning about the Sciences, specially chemistry, after I got involved in a research lab. My project was to synthesize a topologically interesting porphyrin. Applying what I had learned in class to a real research project helped me to realize the importance of what I had learned. Hence, I try to conduct my tutoring sessions in...

...believe that being a great tutor requires an understanding of a diversity of learning styles and teaching techniques. I believe that one-on-one instruction can help a student find the learning style that works best for them. By exploiting a students strengths and focusing on study techniques, students can find the confidence they need to thrive, even in subject where they once struggled. In high-school I struggled with organizational skills and study skills. Since that time...

...also gotten broader. I have a language focus now. I enjoy the richness of the English language and even the challenge of following all of the rules, punctuation, etc. The job of a writing coach is also very important. While we all learn from getting feedback about our composition, we also want to work with a tutor that can help us express our own ideas well. I am interested in helping each client with the...
