Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Alexandria, VA

Hello. My name is Laura Pykosh and I am currently a Middle School Science teacher, but have also taught elementary for 15 years. Although I'm able to help in many content areas, my teaching/tutoring strengths include Reading, Writing, Science and STEM. I look forward to working with you!

...and physics because of the prevalent notion that they are notoriously difficult, however, once the fundamental concepts are broken down, these courses become straightforward. As a result, I have become a huge fan of drilling the fundamental concepts and working through a lot of practice problems. And, although I can teach different subjects, my strengths are in math, physics, and engineering-related classes. When less busy, I enjoy playing soccer and Fifa 21, watching TV and...

...am a student at UMBC studying Mechanical Engineering. I believe that in order to make tutoring successful, you need to break down problems into attainable chunks that are understandable, and that a student can therefore master. As you build upon a concept, having a solid understanding of the basics will lead to successfully retaining the information. I am excited to help students learn and build confidence. I myself was once tutored, and I know first-hand...

...the fundamental skills such as mathematics and problem solving are incredibly important not only for our brain power but for our general life skills and ability to practice patience and determination. My hope as a teacher/tutor is to be able to pass along this skill whilst helping kids find their own best way to solve problems. Everyone is different, and while my way may be effective, it is not the only way. Together, we can...

...others. I have formally been a tutor for numerous peers throughout my years in high school and college, worked as a teacher at a coding summer camp, and have also been the go to resource for all my friends and family for math help since a very young age. Making learning fun and engaging is my main focus as a tutor and it also happens to be something I'm good at! I always enjoy the...

I am currently a Medical Student at VCU. I have tutored for years now, and many students have told me I have helped significantly. I believe everyone has the capability to learn; it just takes a different approach for some. Physics is my passion, but I am also eager to help out in math, chemistry, and engineering, and maybe even programming.

I have tutored high school math for 13 years and before that I taught math and its applications to other subjects in universities, so I am confident that I have the knowledge and skill set to assist you. I have come to realize that tutoring is about figuring out what a student knows or doesn't know or has misconceptions about. This requires interaction, empathy, motivation and understanding.

...Studies. I was 4th in my graduating class from high school with a 4.11 GPA and numerous AP credits. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math and English. During college I worked with non-profit organizations, including a literacy tutoring program, and was on the Mock Trial Team. I'll be attending Georgetown Law in the fall of 2018. In my free time, I like to read, horseback writing, and go to the beach with friends.

...a physicist and researcher, I prefer to tutor in subjects relevant in my day-to-day work. This includes topics in physics (mechanics, electricity, sonics, optics, nuclear, quantum, etc.) and mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, etc.). I believe that curiosity leads to learning and understanding, so I hope that students working with me will ask many questions, and approach each topic with their own perspective. I enjoy teaching motivated students who share my...

...AP Computer Science, Physics, Languages, and Music. I have developed a strong passion for helping students achieve their academic goals. As a tutor at Code Ninjas, I developed my skills in teaching programming languages like Python and JavaScript to students of all ages while adapting my approach to meet the diverse needs of my students, including those with ADHD and Autism. I am particularly passionate about tutoring Physics and Computer Science because they encourage critical...

...just graduated from Tufts University Phi Beta Kappa Summa Cum Laude with a a Bachelor's in Science in Engineering Physics. I am entering a Physics PhD program at UCSB this coming fall. I love physics, math, and computer science and have experience with advanced coursework in these subjects from the high school through college level. I am very passionate about STEM education and have worked as a TA for both introductory and upper level physics...

...students, I have made it my mission to be innovative in my instructional and assessment practices with project - based learning, discourse, differentiated lessons, evidence based argument writing, and structured student - design lab investigations. Additionally, teaching during the Covid-19 pandemic makes meeting both academic and emotional needs more crucial than ever. Thus, the collaboration between colleagues or students and myself is key to establishing and maintaining a safe, inclusive learning environment during a very...

Currently, I am not pursuing any additional degrees, as my focus is on my professional work and now, on sharing my knowledge through tutoring. I offer tutoring in a range of geoscience subjects, including: Physical Geology: Earth's materials, processes, and landforms. Historical Geology: Earth's history as revealed through rocks...

...physics, i.e., Mechanics and Electrodynamics, as well as a number of upper-level physics courses. Primarily, I helped students work through and understand homework problems and in-class exercises. To understand physics, even at an introductory college level, some mastery of mathematics is required. It is always a pleasure to guide students through the connection between physics and mathematics, from setting up the problem to solving it. I am ready to guide students in any introductory physics...
