Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors serving Vancouver, WA

...Absolutely! Python? Not quite math, you tricky person, but sign right up. I tutor a bit of physics and computer programming as well. Test prep, too. But who am I? I am a math music philosophy nerd. I love Gauss almost as much as I love Bach and I love Bach almost as much as I like Hegel. So chat to me about that stuff if you are so inclined. But you want to just...

...my Masters of Arts in Teaching program. My main goal is to help my students develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. With those skills, they will learn how to solve problems and to take charge of their own learning. My strategies of increasing understanding stem from building on what they know and encouraging thinking about where they may get lost. This is to assess my student's progress throughout while also holding them accountable for...

...college and enjoy instilling confidence in students. In addition to teaching concepts or going over problems, I explain why and how one would arrive at a particular answer. I think that this is beneficial because it teaches students how to learn. This is a skill that can applied to any area of study and it helps make the material more understandable. I use a variety of methods to teach including drawings, models, analogies, similar practice...

...insightful questions is the best way to engender a robust understanding of a given concept in a student. As for me, I am from Portland, Oregon originally. The Pacific Northwest is my home through and through; I am particularly enamored with the boundless outdoor opportunities constantly enticing me away from the metropolitan area. I love the rain and could not ask for a better backyard than the Cascades! I am an avid backcountry skier, alpine...

In teaching chemistry, I believe in fostering a deep understanding of the fundamental principles through hands-on experimentation and real-world applications. I aim to cultivate critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities in my students, equipping them with the tools to approach complex chemical concepts with confidence. By creating a supportive and interactive learning environment, I strive to ignite curiosity and passion for the subject, empowering students to become lifelong learners in the field of chemistry.

...this. When working with math, I attempt to connect concepts to "real world" uses and ideas. I hope to show my students that math is not a torture technique, but a tool that can be used to describe and test ideas as well as to overcome obstacles to success. Lastly, I believe that math and science are not done in isolation from other topics. Reading, writing and communication are important parts of instruction as well....

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.

...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 them with me! My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing amount of math (through advanced calculus)....

...for teaching began in high school, where I had the opportunity to tutor peers and underclassmen both within and outside of school. Over the years, I've developed a strong enthusiasm for STEM educationparticularly in mathematics and the sciencesthough I'm also capable of supporting students in English when needed. I believe that learning is most effective when supported by others, whether through teachers, mentors, or peers. Having personally benefited from tutoring, I'm committed to helping students...

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.
