Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors in Spokane, WA

...my teacher asked me to try and relate to the 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...

...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, play piano, do theater, hike, ski, and read. I love teaching and believe education is important to help open our minds and prepare our hearts for this crazy world. I hope to pass this belief...

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.

I am a recent Yale graduate with a B.S in chemical engineering. I have over 5 years of experience tutoring a wide range of subjects, and I am very passionate about math and science. My favorite part of tutoring is instilling confidence into students and making them feel that they can understand and enjoy a subject.... Everyone learns differently, but everyone can learn anything.

...favorite classes to tutor are anatomy/physiology and biochemistry! As a medical student I am seeing how these subjects are applied in the human body, which makes it really fun to tutor them! My tutoring style focuses on the student taking ownership of the material. To me this means that the student is learning the material in a way that is the most optimal for them, and in a way that ensures that they can apply...

...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 also been reading since I was old enough to hold a flashlight (my eyes don't thank me), so if you need help with following any sort of literature, I've got your back (excluding the original...

...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 enjoy tutoring because it is a...

...I have accepted a student, I have a personal investment in that student and will go to great lengths to assure that they will succeed in the endeavour that we have committed to achieving. Some people aren't good at tests. Well, I'm REALLY GOOD at taking tests! I'm a natural test taker. Being a stereotypical Asian American since my youth I have been put into a crucible of exam preparation. I always do well on...

...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 does not promote a clear understanding of class material or strengthen critical thinking skills. I firmly believe knowing concepts allows students to expand their problem solving skills into unknown territory and allows them to better...

...undergraduate, I taught and tutored many students in a wide variety of introductory science courses at the University of Michigan. Post-graduation, I have continued to tutor full-time in addition to doing research through the Michigan Clinical Outcomes Research and Reporting Program. I believe that all of the students I work with are intelligent, but often lecture-based learning does not fit their personal learning style. I love working with students to bridge this learning gap, helping...

...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 came naturally. In my opinion, this is the best way to truly learn something. Outside of the classroom, I have a large set of hobbies and interests. I enjoy basketball, tennis, road biking, mountain biking, skiing,...

...appointments at UIC in Chicago, Washington University in St. Louis, and the University of Washington in Seattle. In January of 2008 I was offered a position as a Senior Research Chemist with 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...

...school and college years. I am very familiar with US and Comparative Government due to having worked as an outliner for the AP books. Teaching is 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...

...living in Boston I still have some of my students contacting me for intermittent aid. When I tutor I do not give answers, I help my students put together pieces of their own knowledge to come up with answers. I believe a good tutor is a guide more than a teacher; my goal is to help my clients achieve their maximum potential. Most of my spare time is spent training. I have a first degree...

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 I taught myself, the material could bring some insight to someone in how to go about understanding the topic.

...with Bootup Baltimore, an organization that serves to increase basic computer literacy in Baltimore City by providing classes to both elementary/middle age students to adults. While obtaining my BA at Johns Hopkins University, I also worked as a study consultant for the school, helping students in a more robust system by passing along not only the knowledge of the subject itself but also the knowledge of my experiences. The opportunity was dear to me and...

...for me to receive. I have held two very different chemistry based jobs (one that I am currently in now) since graduation in which I test drinking water and foods for a vast array of microbial agents and chemical compounds that are dangerous to the public. Using my experience in both academics, research and in my career, I have been able to tie in real world problems and solutions to students I have taught and...

...able to work one-on-one with students. Chemistry is a 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...

...Aliyi aka 'Ali'. I was born in Ethiopia and moved to the USA in 2000. I lived in Kenya for 2 years and Dominica, West Indies for 1 1/2 years. I just finished medical school and am currently interviewing for residency. I have been tutoring and TAing since college. I enjoy tutoring math and science and helping those who need help. In my free time I enjoy running, playing soccer, biking and getting together with...

With an array of experiences within the biomedical and healthcare industry, I desire to assist students in strengthening their foundation in the basic sciences that will assure them success in a science related career.
