Award-Winning Physics Tutors in Centennial, CO

...Honors Biology, and Chemistry in Colorado Springs. I have done extensive private tutoring for a variety of subjects in the past, but am most passionate about Science (especially Chemistry). I believe that anyone can learn and do science, and that the development of critical thinking skills associated with scientific thought and processes is one of the most useful things that a person can do. I have a genuine love of science and learning, and I...

...the field of Math but also work with Science, English and Social Studies. This is my 5th year teaching in the South Chicagoland area. I chose a career in teaching because I have always had a knack for helping people understand difficult concepts. Since high school, I was always helping friends and classmates with homework and tests. My favorite part of being a teacher is seeing when "the lightbulb" turns on when someone finally gets...

...ages for seven years at two different yacht clubs. Based on sailors ages and especially confidence levels, I had to constantly change my tune when explaining a new concept. I understood from this that not everyone learns the same way: some children need extra time, some need a different explanation, and some just need to go out and practice it. Yet, even with these obstacles, I always strove to get the best out of my...

...inspiring in the students I tutor. I want to show them that through hard work and curiosity, they can accomplish academic goals, or any goal for that matter, that they never imagined achieving previously. Being relatively close to my tutees in age, I always bring a sense of good humor and fun to sessions to connect with the students and inspire in them a sense of curiosity and interest. In my free time, I love...

...just moved to the Denver area to be with my family and love it already. There is so much to do here! I enjoy biking, hiking, tennis, most things outdoors, movies, and reading. Favorite books include Harry Potter to Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, to Hunger Games. I also love helping scholars to love and learn math! I can't wait to meet you and help to the your way to loving math!

...chemistry, and computer science courses. I came to Colorado in 2009 where I earned my MS and PhD degrees in physics at the University of Colorado Boulder. My thesis work focused on quantum mechanical interactions between very cold atoms and light—which means that I got to do the hands-on stuff (soldering, programming, machining, turning knobs, building lasers) as well as the tasks you would think a physicist would do (pencil-and-paper theory, calculus and differential equations,...

...succeed. Education is not a one size fits all model, and as such I am committed to finding out what strategies work best for you. I received my B.S. in Biology, Ecology, and Evolutionary Studies from Regis University, and I am currently working towards a M.Ed in Science Curriculum and Instruction. In my spare time I love to coach and play rugby, go hiking, play music, cook tasty food, and take lots of pictures!

...or understand why there is absolutely no sound in space? I’d love to explain it to you. Everyone learns in different ways. For some it’s auditory, some it’s visual, and for most it’s kinesthetic. I want to figure out how you learn and go from there. If you need to make angles with your body to know the difference between acute and obtuse then let’s do it! If we need to write a song with...

The best way for me to teach you is to see what you already know. You'll try things on your own to start, then I'll jump in and help fill in the holes. Tutors and teachers are great ways to learn, but the best thing we can do is show you how to teach yourself!... Students learn best by doing. As a tutor, I emphasize practice, practice, practice. If you can do something once while being walked through it, great! If you can do it a tenth time without needing any help, that's my goal. I will work with you every step of the way until you get there.

...mathematics. I also found this to be true while I was employed as a tutor for Ball State University's Learning Center, especially with more advanced classes. I believe that the best tutoring sessions are those with great client-tutor communication. I always welcome feedback and ideas during sessions in order to mold the most effective tutoring strategy for the student. When I am not busy with work or studying, I enjoy bicycling, running, and most of...
