Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Catalina Foothills, AZ

Hi - I'm Jesse. If you're someone who avoids or struggles with math, I can help make it easy and even fun. If you're someone who enjoys math, but you just need a boost in understanding and accuracy, I can help you with that too. Let's solve!

...way we learn significantly and I would like to help ease the transition we are facing currently, and give extra support to students with different and metaphorical explanations to things. My favorite subjects are Calculus and Chemistry, but I have proficiency in tutoring and teaching most of the pre-med courses such as physics and organic chemistry. As a final note. I was born and raised in Brazil before migrating to AZ. I have been heavily...

...and I'd like to pay that forward. I like to meet my students where they are at, to help them engage with material through vibrant discussion as they set their goals and their pace; we can troubleshoot together to discover what learning methods work best (teach-back, kinetic, visual, mnemonics and songs, etc). I enjoy teaching math topics up through and including calculus, as well as science courses such as physics, biology, physiology, anatomy, pathology, pharmacology....

I am an instructor at Pima Community College teaching Business and Leadership both face-to-face and online. I am very focused on student satisfaction, particularly in the online environment where I interact daily and supplement much of the course materials with personal charts and homemade videos. I also have 30+ years of managing highly talented engineering teams in major development programs which helps me understand personal motivation.

...computational physics and a B.S. in physics with a concentration in astronomy from Eastern Illinois University. My coursework was geared toward solving physical problems using mathematical modeling. During my undergraduate education, I was employed as a physics tutor, assisting students with physics and mathematics coursework, where I honed skills in conveying information effectively to students at all levels. I also served as a teaching assistant, providing instruction in the use of telescopes and related lab...

...during my time at Central, and have taught labs and given lectures as a graduate student. As someone who struggled at the beginning of his academic career, it is easy for me to relate to those who are at a loss in regard to physics. In high school, I was one of the many students who are heard to say, "I'm just not good at math." Through practice, however, I was able to vastly improve...

...plenty of experience at teaching and tutoring Math and Science. I work at the University of Arizona, at Pima Community College, Tucson, AZ. I am an energetic and experienced tutor and mathematics lover who makes things look easy. I have a solid background in Math, and a bachelor in Math Education. I don't mind explaining things many times (and in different ways) until you understand. I can also tutor you in Spanish! I also have...

...PHD in Public Policy Analysis. At this point, I tutor High School Physics, Math, Physics, Pre-Algebra and Science. I plan to add other subjects in the future. My favorite subject is algebra because it is logical and useful. I love doing word problems which most people have trouble with. I suppose I like word problems because it's like figuring out a puzzle. I am a non-judgmental and patient person. I understand that everyone learns differently...

I am a senior at the University of Arizona studying Economics at the Eller College of Management. I have held several leadership positions including instructing a class of 5th-8th graders for a month long summer camp on how to develop a software game. I am the oldest of all my siblings and cousins and I have been tutoring/mentoring them throughout their life.

...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 country.

...math teacher, but have experience teaching students from first grade up through eighth grade. I have also taught elementary science first through fourth grade and have been formally teaching for five years. I am passionate about the subjects of math and science. I believe that a student's ability to learn should be the skill that is honed above all others and encourage the use of learning from one's mistakes to improve academically. My spare time...

...a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring their learning potential. My teaching philosophy centers on patience, active listening, and fostering critical thinking skills. I believe that every student learns differently, and I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. Whether it's through breaking down complex ideas into manageable parts or encouraging students to approach problems from different angles, my goal is to help students gain both understanding and confidence. Outside...

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...

...centers around practice problems and working through problems. I also love pointing out resources to students in order to empower them to become individual learners. Tutoring is simply a supplement, in my opinion. I think the best tutors are able to walk through a problem with the student and show them in real-time their own thinking process. On a personal note, I will be starting medical school this upcoming fall. I have experience with the...

...reinforcing it the whole time. For math I find it especially useful to explore different applications of the subject matter to help motivate what we are learning and keep it interesting. Overall, I think science and math are cool, fun, challenging and worth every minute you put into it and I enjoy sharing my own interest whenever I can. I like to keep my lessons lighthearted and with three younger siblings I have become very...

Hello, my name is David Fernandez. I am a Tucson, AZ native. I have a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of Arizona and I am currently studying toward a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree. I currently work as a Mechanical Engineer where I have the privilege of using the tools of math and science I learned in school to solve real world problems.

...was working with students who were coming back to college with a memory of hating math. I made sure to take extra time and care with these students and while doing so, I got to watch as the light bulbs would go off and their dislike of math began to change. I understand that math and physics can feel like learning a new language. The concepts aren't always intuitive at first. I like to approach...

I studied biology and biochemistry at the University of Arizona. Here I studied bugs, fungi, plants, and animals from population level down to the biochemical level. This includes a wide range of subjects like genetics, plant biochemistry, cancer biology, metabolic engineering, medical entomology, and behavioral ecology. I also worked in an aquatic entomology lab researching local populations. I plan on pursuing an M.Sc. in Biology in the future.

...my assessment. I then ask questions to facilitate the learning process to see if we both are learning from each other. It is not like I am having an all knowing set of knowledge based information and skill sets. On the contrary - in the process of my teaching, I am generally learning as I teach, just as my student(s) would be learning. In fact, it is that coincidence of both of us learning that...

Life long learning is a hoot! Even with what I have accomplished, I'm not through yet. Curiosity has me constantly looking for things I don't know and mastering them. With 50 years in the classroom - yes this is an old picture - I'm still sticking nose into new things and pushing to learn all I can. If you can express your needs, we will find them together.
