Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors in Tucson, AZ

I enjoy helping others learn and understand what they are being taught. There is no right or wrong to do something.

...Chemistry and Mathematics courses. Calculus, however, is my favorite subject to tutor, as it marked the point in my academic career where I began to actually enjoy math. My tutoring style is one that values fundamental understanding and critical thinking. I would rather a student walk away with a deeper understanding of their material, rather than a list of memorized steps. On a more personal note, when I am not pursuing math and science, I...

...develop. My approach to tutoring subjects that center around problem solving, such as Chemistry and Physics, is to go over a variety of example problems and learn all the different methods to solving such problems. For subjects with more abstract concepts, such as Biology, Biochemistry, and other Life Science topics, my emphasis shifts towards understanding the broader picture. Outside of academia I spend a lot of time rock climbing, backpacking and doing whatever it takes...

I am a physical chemist with 14 years of industrial experience, one year of US government experience, 15 years of undergraduate chemistry teaching experience, 5 years of postdoctoral experience, and 20 years of military experience.

...the Chemical Engineering Honor Society. From that experience I learned that having a solid understanding of the basics is the best way to learn new concepts. As a current student I understand the struggles that many of you are dealing with. I can bring a fresh perspective to these topics, and share what helped me to succeed in these courses. Outside of school and work I like to hike, cook, and play soccer.

...over ten years of lab and field based applications of chemistry, biology, and engineering principles to help achieve environmental quality standards. I have held project management positions responsible for the development and execution of standard operating procedures, health and safety plans, data collection, analysis, and summarization. Analyses and research has been conducted on regulated and emerging organic and inorganic contaminants in soils, submerged sediments, drinking water, wastewater, surface water and ground water systems around the...

I recently completed grad school with a degree in geology. I have a broad background in the physical science and math. I look forward to helping you out with standardized tests, math through calculus, chemistry, and physics.... Anyone can master any subject with enough time and the right teacher.... I ask the student what they think they are having issues with and work through some general practice problems to try and determine exactly what subjects need...

...prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. While tutoring, I try to not only teach students how to do the problems they are struggling with, but how to understand the underlying concepts and how they fit together with the rest of the curriculum. As a future teacher, I am a firm advocate of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life and I try to impart...

...undergraduate students the most. I believe in chemical thinking to generate curiosity among the learners and motivate them to learn chemistry. I strongly encourage the "active learning method" as my teaching strategy in order to improve their critical thinking, problem-solving, ability. Since I myself is a curious learner I firmly believe that teaching is the best way to learn. Through teaching, one can keep learning all through life. The satisfaction of learning and helping others...

...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 can take what I am good at (math and science) and what I'm...

...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 their knowledge meaningfully. Outside of the classroom...

...a chemistry/physics degree, I know full well what's required to succeed in those subjects. I also know how to face the endless standardized tests and 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...

...with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering in 2012 and 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...

...elementary through high school students in mathematics and the sciences. In college, I taught a weekly class to local high school students interested in learning about neuroscience. Since college, I have continued tutoring students on a weekly basis in a wide variety of subjects. I graduated from Middlebury College in 2012 with High Honors in Neuroscience, and now plan to attend medical school. I am a diligent worker and consistently ensure that I am prepared...

...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 the Red Cross and volunteer at a free clinic in Santa Monica while I apply to Medical School. While I have taught a broad range of subjects, Biology and Spanish are my passion. In my spare time, I enjoy riding horses, yoga, and...

...those whom I tutor. Finding the relationship between the fundamental principles and real life applications is how I help to build a strong understanding of key concepts and a desire to learn more. These ideas continue into my hobbies and interests: I have a strong desire to learn more whether that involves reading a scientific publication or through my own research. I also enjoy the challenge of golf and chess, woodworking, and watching my three...

...love all math and science, but my favorite subjects include Chemistry, Calculus, Trigonometry, and Economics. I also love listening to and creating music, 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...

...of medical school I became involved in helping premedical students prepare for the MCAT exam (I scored 98th percentile on this exam in 2007 and have since obtained higher scores on diagnostics). After medical school I completed my internship at Northwestern University and then left the clinical setting to join an MCAT content development company I founded in 2011. Over the past year, I have coached several students on MCAT preparation. I find these relationships...

...For more than 9 years I have taught high school, undergraduate and graduate students in the laboratory, classroom and tutorial settings. I believe 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...

...I am experienced in working both in large lecture-style environments and reviews, as well as one-on-one problem solving with students. My background is in chemistry, but I can also tutor subjects up to first and second year college math and physical sciences. I try to incorporate strategies that would use the existing strengths and skills of the student when dealing with difficult problems, and I recognize the importance of motivation in succeeding in learning and...
