Award-Winning Physics Tutors in Alexandria, VA

...dissertation in Engineering Education from Purdue University. In 2005, I received my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Boston University where I minored in History. In 2011, I studied in England to earn a M.A. in Poverty & (International) Development from the University of Sussex. I know first-hand the challenges associated with manipulating equations and writing extended essays. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math, Physics, History, and Engineering. During tutoring sessions, I strive to make...

...of extracurricular experience formatted and solidified my interest in education. My work with BrainReach, in which neuroscience students create and present lessons to elementary school students in high need schools, especially contributed to my passion for education. I have tutored and/or taught a variety of ages from 4-21, as well as a variety of subjects including all sorts of Mathematics, Sciences, and Test Preparation. I am a passionate and enthusiastic tutor, and l love opportunities...

...hope to earn a Master's in Education after I graduate. I've been tutoring informally all my life (ever since my younger siblings first started needing help with their homework), but my formal experience began in high school when I joined Math Honor Society and became an in-school peer tutor for the Math Department. Since then, I've also been a volunteer tutor outside of school, a private tutor in my community and, for a while last...

...a double minor in Chemistry and French. I am currently a prospective 2018 medical student. While I am proficient in a range of related subjects, I am most passionate about Biology (both micro and macro) and Chemistry. Communication is also important in my life. I believe to understand something is to be able to explain it in simpler terms than you yourself learned it. Thus, as a tutor, I consider it my duty to not...

I do not fit in stereotypical academic categories. I was a humanities focused liberal arts major, a graduate of the Great Books program at St. John's College. But there I rediscovered a love of math and science which has led me to pursue Physics. I am a hard science geek who loves to read, and I want to help students learn to love all subjects and succeed at them too.

...and the University of Montana in Missoula. I have ADHD, and love working with people with learning disabilities. I currently tutor Chemistry, Biology, the Verbal section of the SAT, and Math up to Algebra 2. I especially enjoy tutoring the sciences, as I find them endlessly fascinating, and love sharing my enjoyment of them. I teach from the ground up, putting complex ideas into simple, understandable terms, and I love answering the question 'why?' Outside...

...degree in Chemical Engineering. Since my graduation, I have regularly tutored different mathematics and science courses such as Physics, Geometry, Algebra I and II, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. I especially enjoy using guided practice to help others understand a little more about the material and its implications for the real world. I believe that I'm a good tutor because I understand from experience what it's like to not have a natural affinity for mathematics. I'm...

...from Johns Hopkins SAIS in International Relations and Economics. I have over ten years of tutoring experience, working with students anywhere on the spectrum from kindergarten to graduate school, with a particular focus on high school. I enjoy tutoring a range of subjects, but particularly Math, Science, Economics, and Foreign Languages. Whatever the subject, I am a proponent of the "Teach a man to fish..." approach: rather than just focusing on giving my students the...

...with a minor in Energy Systems. In addition to several internships working on wind and steam turbines, I spent nearly two years as a researcher working to eliminate idling on public school buses. In high school, I converted my 1984 diesel to run on waste vegetable oil. I try to bring a level of enthusiasm towards tutoring math that is normally reserved for every other subject besides math. I do not believe that anyone is...

I'm a research fellow at the National Institutes of Health. I work on vaccines for parasitic diseases. My main interests are in global health and biodefense. I went to Johns Hopkins undergrad and for a masters in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology. My tutoring hallmark is teaching effective study habits. In addition to working on material, we can establish a schedule for your upcoming work.
