Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors in Spokane, WA

...characters I was reading about, this allowed me to articulate my responses in the form of essays very effectively. And in the subjects that I performed well in school, I noticed that I intrinsically loved those topics. Thereby, learning first starts with developing an interest in the subject material you are pursuing, and only afterwards will you truly be able to grasp concepts and apply them to a variety of scenarios to demonstrate subject mastery....

...a medical scribe and a dance teacher, and am studying for my MCAT to take in January! While in undergrad, I taught biology as a teacher's assistant in the classroom and in the lab. I was also a Supplemental Instruction leader for biology and helped students with content outside of the classroom. I also taught dance to ages 6-18 with a company in Wenatchee called StageKids Washington. In my spare time, I love to dance,...

Intensely curious, I am interested in STEM subjects and the liberal arts. I tutor to help you reach your educational goals and because it's immensely gratifying to see my students succeed.

I love it when students get that "Aha" moment when learning something difficult! I've been teaching science for 9 years and that just never gets old. Each student has their own way of learning and my goal is to recognize and adjust my style to fit each students learning needs.

...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 can take what I am good at (math and science) and what I'm passionate about (teaching others) to empower students to achieve their goals.

...developing methods in understanding and learning. As a tutor, I think it is important to attack material from multiple angles and perspectives. This helps me understand where holes in understanding are, and develops the skill set necessary for acing assessments and maintaining that knowledge for a lifetime. Outside of academics, I am a yoga enthusiast and runner. I enjoy hiking with my 90 pound mutt named Huckleberry, who himself enjoys chasing deer and rolling in...

...a different learning 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...

...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, I've...

...are their learning styles. It is my job as a one to one tutor to best explain difficult ideas in a way that allows the student to understand them clearly. Teaching and tutoring have always been passions of mine and for the past year I have been tutoring full-time and could not have enjoyed it more. The focus of my tutoring has been the Math and Science sections of ACT, the Math section of the...

...fishing, reading, computer games, the Oxford comma, discovering other INTJs, and anything that involves cats. I was hired by Varsity Tutors in May of 2016. Before working for Varsity Tutors, I have had informal experience in high school tutoring peers and younger students in mostly math and science. I also tutored ACT prep, and helped a peer raise her composite score 3 points. I like to emphasize understanding concepts rather than simple memorization because memorization...

...social worker who organized activities for the children in the cancer ward. I returned to Houston at the end of June to work as a Laboratory Technician at Rice University. I recently applied to medical school for the Fall of 2013, but for the next year, I'd really like to start tutoring again! Why do I love tutoring? Because I've always enjoyed mentoring a student and sharing in his/her successes. While enrolled in high school...

...and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Over the past several years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love...

...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 science classes, I have also helped many students with standardized testing yielding great results. In my free time I enjoy playing music, biking, and reading.

...learning should be fun and that everyone can learn, we just need to work together to find out what works for you. Learning is not just observation, it is also participation. By engaging students in interactive discussions, I encourage curiosity and intellectual exploration. I help students learn how to think not what to think. By learning to think critically, students are able to maximize their potential to excel in math and science and do well...

...a couple of years later. Having completed my teaching qualifications, I had a number of very rewarding years teaching Biology and Chemistry to high school students before moving to Seattle for my husband's job in 2008. In addition to my teaching experience, I have tutored a number of students in the UK, adapting my tutoring to work well with a student's individual learning style. Since residing in Seattle, I have volunteered at the library and...

...tutoring undergraduate students, I found great satisfaction in teaching Math to struggling teenagers. From my experiences, I learned that anyone can tackle basic mathematical ideas if they are given proper patience and instruction. Furthermore, I have learned that every student has a unique style of learning. My tutoring philosophy embodies this notion and I strive to tailor my lessons to fit each student's academic strengths. Having been successful in my academic career, I have learned...

...to help. During my time at Wake Forest University, I have helped many students as a member of a tutoring organization led by a doctorate of chemical teaching. Under his direction and through my experiences, I have learned techniques for teaching the hard-to-grasp concepts of chemistry in an effective and communicable way. Outside of academia I believe in life-long learning. My hobbies include reading, listening to podcasts, socializing and playing competitive games.... If a subject can...

...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.

...sleep anything and everything technological and engineering, but I also wish to stress the engineering part - I'm very practical. I am a big fan of the KISS principle, and am a big fan of efficiency, not just in technologies, but in our understanding and use of them. Over time, that has made me an efficient mentor, able to explain and expand understanding of questions without creating overreaching or false simplifications. Over the years, I've...

...software to display images, plus a little bit of Chemistry and Biology for understanding what was happening as we took images. During my time at UNC I also had the opportunity to work with Habitat for Humanity, both building homes and tutoring the children who lived in the neighborhoods we were working in. It was incredibly rewarding to work with the same students for multiple years and watch them develop, both as students and people....
