Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors serving Virginia

...I held for a Microbiology Lab, which was an expected but great honor 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...

...University of Georgia with a B.S. in Chemistry. During my undergraduate career, I've tutored a multitude of students, primarily in a one-on-one setting. In the past, I've been certified to teach chemistry and physics classes by a prestigious test preparation company. I absolutely love teaching mathematics, chemistry and physics. But unfortunately, these are subjects that a lot of students have real difficulty in. I've discovered that I have a knack for explaining difficult mathematical/physical science...

...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 to meet the student's needs. I am exceptionally patient and excellent at developing creative ways for learning when I see a student needs a new approach. Further, from years of experience taking standardized tests (including the SAT and MCAT), AP classes, college courses, and pre-medical...

...of Michigan in May 2015 with a degree in Honors Biophysics. As an 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...

...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 to bake sourdough, learn about history, garden, and...

...While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about the sciences and math. In my experience, helping struggling students understand new material is a very rewarding experience for both the student and myself. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. I acknowledge that each student possesses different...

As a scientist, I have always aspired to learn more about the world around me and to make sense of it. My goal in teaching and as a tutor is to help students do the same.

...rewarding. I have had a tremendously positive experience of both high school and college education. I received a chemistry bachelor's degree at the Cross River University of Technology, Nigeria, and a master's degree in chemistry at East Tennessee State University, TN. As a high school classroom teacher, and a graduate assistant, I taught a Chemistry course and instructed Organic Chemistry laboratory sessions, respectively. These teaching assignments have kindled positive and gratifying responses. The work of...

...fully understood can be applied to the further understanding of all other chemical concepts. It's like a puzzle that can be solved. Chemistry's workings are rooted in logic. If you stop, slow down, or whatever, to understand a few foundational principles, you will be able to succeed in chemistry. I, however, could not stand the thought of not going to medical school, so I have switched back to that path, but to sum things up,...

...helping me become a better tutor, and may help me become a college professor someday. These classes have acquainted me with various student-centered approaches I can use to reach verbal, visual and kinesthetic learners. If I know what a student needs to discuss before we meet, I draw upon Schaum's Outlines to first acquaint myself with a topic, so that a student and I can work efficiently to help them learn. I get a lot...
