Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors in Spring Valley, NV

I have a PhD in Organic Chemistry from Caltech and am a former instructor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Alberta. I'm happy to help you succeed, no matter what your level.

...always my second love. I ended up doing graphic design for several years and even did some freelance work. In the end, as I became a husband and a dad, I realized that giving back was what I needed to do. I spent so much of my time in school studying science and math, that seemed the best fit. I really didn't know whether I would be a good teacher - I was confident in...

Hi, I'm Kat. I'm a math and science enthusiast with a passion for helping others understand and appreciate the science (and its applications) of our fascinating world.

Having a degree in chemistry with emphases in mathematics and environmental science, I am meticulous about understanding the material itself as well as understanding why the material applies to you in your own personal life. With this in mind, I hope I can assist you not only in bettering your grades, but also understanding the world around you.... The techniques would vary from student to student. For some students, a logic-based derivation of the material works best (mathematical proofs, scientific research, etc.), while for others, practical application in their everyday lives works best (using mathematics to do taxes, science behind vaccines, etc.), while still others work best with rogue practicing of problems (working problems at the end of chapter, creating new problems, etc.).

...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 of their most important academic years!

...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 standardized exams. Since I have done so many of these types of exams I have learned many tactics and strategies to achieve high scores. I am particularly good at tutoring students for standardized exams such as the SHSAT, ISEE, SSAT,...

...knowledge, and love helping others explore topics that interest them. More importantly, I am enthusiastic in 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...

Aside from being an avid scholar, I am a world traveler and enjoy trying new things! I also love to run, draw, read, and cook, either with friends or simply by myself. I stay in shape both mentally and physically: I am constantly training to be my best. Whenever the opportunity arises to help elevate someone, I take it. Helping a student reach their goals is equally as rewarding for my student and myself.

...also tutor for standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, AP tests, 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....

...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 science classes, I have...
