Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Chester County, PA

Hi! I'm a sophomore student at the University of Pennsylvania. I am on the premed track. I've been tutoring since my sophomore year of high school and I love it, especially tutoring math. I am using this platform because I am so eager to help you out with any difficult subjects you may have and I hope to be able to teach you strategies to tackle problem areas.

...graduating from Drexel University in March 2014, and will be finishing with a Bachelor of Biological Sciences, with a concentration in Evolution and Ecology. I firmly believe that every individual learns in a unique way, and I like to adapt my tutoring style to match. Throughout high school and college, I have tutored peers in a variety of subjects, covering most sciences, math, and writing. The subjects I enjoy most however, are those related to...

...Alfred and Stony Brook. These classes presented me with many new pedagogical challenges that broadened my horizons. One of the most memorable and rewarding positions I have had was with an environmental outreach program for students to explore and learn about coastal salt marshes. Instruction during this camp occurred both in the classroom and out in the field, virtually and in person. This interest in hands-on and one-on-one teaching has led me to continue to...

...quickly move to solving problem. Students that struggle with math are often moved into the problem solving mode before they fully understand the concepts. This will oftentimes lead to a student learning a process to solve a problem without understanding the underlying concept. When a problem that does not align with process used to solve is present, the student ends up lost. I prefer to focus on the student understanding the concepts before we tackle...

...mathematical formulas without appreciating the concepts is akin to memorizing the lines of a Shakespeare play without paying attention to the underlying prose. My strongest subjects are linear algebra and pre-calculus though I am proficient at tutoring all high school and college underclassmen mathematical subjects. I hope that my passion is contagious and that all of my students leave me not only having learned the material but understanding the beauty and wonderment of it all.

...name is Rachael and I am so excited to be your tutor! I am working towards becoming a Physician Assistant and have a degree in biology from Lafayette College. I have worked as an EMT for the past 4 years and have developed a deep passion for medicine and STEM. I love reading, writing, and the social sciences as well and am eager to explore all of these subjects with you. My goal is to...

...try to take a personable approach to tutoring, helping others relate the material to their own interests in order to help bridge the gap between one's own knowledge and a seemingly confusing realm of material. Together, we can work towards fostering an interest in lifelong learning, while keeping the material fun and engaging along the way. Apart from my studies, I'm passionate about dance, having dabbled in various forms of South Asian dance including Bollywood,...

...At Penn, I lead a team of students in a research lab that works on ways to regrow damaged muscles and heart tissue using really cool tools like 3D printers and tiny electric fibers. I've also helped with research at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, working on ways to better support kids growing up with HIV in different parts of the world. Outside of the lab, I care a lot about giving back. I volunteer...

I am a graduate of UCLA with a major in Physiological Science and a minor in Spanish. This past year, I worked in a third grade math class with City Year New York. I have years of tutoring experience, and I am passionate about learning and working with children.

...the University of California, Davis and conducted a field research project that investigated how pesticides affect honey bee behavior. I also worked as a teaching assistant at Davis and co-created and taught a course about current issues related to beekeeping and bee conservation. I finished my M.S.in Entomology at the beginning of 2015. I have a sincere love of learning and find great joy in helping others achieve their academic goals. I believe a teacher...

My name is Michael and I am 23 years old. I currently live in Philadelphia where I work part time at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania as a Research Assistant. I was previously a teaching assistant for General Chemistry during my undergraduate education. I graduated from Villanova University and subsequently did a post-bachelor's program at UPenn. I plan to start medical school in the near future.

...learning is what give me the motivation to help others. Sometimes, somebody's full potential is not showing at their highest potential. I would love to help you find your full potential. I am fully capable at teaching any math or sciences at the high school level and many at the college level ( i.e biological sciences, physiology, anatomy, physical and organic chemistry), etc.... I have experience tutoring both at the high school and college level....

...the concepts. I have had a lot of experience in learning these subjects and therefore I have multiple ways of teaching it. There is nothing better than relating a real life example to the students so that they will remember it forever. I am now using my math and science skills by attending Pennsylvania College of Optometry and on my way to becoming a doctor. In my free time I love spending time outdoors and...

I graduated with honors from St. John's University with a dual degree in chemistry and biology. I'd love to help you with science or math. I tend to take a problem based style, but I work to find the best approach for each subject for each student. "Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance" - Confucius... I've found problem based learning to be the most successful strategy for the majority of subjects that...

...Derrick, and I am a graduate from Villanova University with a B.S. in Biochemistry (GPA 3.95) with a minor in Bioengineering. I am currently a full-time research scientist at a Biotech company, and I am quite experienced in the fields of biology and chemistry. I am passionate about teaching STEM subjects to others! With respect to tutoring, my philosophy is centered around teaching how YOU learn best. I have 3+ years of tutoring experience, and...

...research abilities in a non-scientific context. So focusing on both was perfect for me because I was able to develop analytical and problem-solving skills in two very different contexts. Having this background also allows me to feel comfortable tutoring a range of subjects. My tutoring style can best be described as collaborative. Much of the time the problems we will tackle together will be difficult or confusing, and I will guide our work to hone...

...a proud graduate of Rutgers University Camden. I earned a BS summa cum laude in Physics last year and am currently taking courses to complete a second degree in Economics. I currently teach two lecture courses (Modern Physics and Laser Physics), and one introductory physics lab section. I have tutored high school to university level physics. I believe that offering real world examples helps students gain a better understanding of abstract concepts in physics, math,...

Over the last few years I have had the pleasure of tutoring some of the most athletically talented students at Temple University. The best part of the job has always been the teammate like relationship we form when setting academic goals together and then reaching them for the student using tools tailored to the student's study style and needs. ... I believe the student's goals for the class are what drives our productivity, so it is...

...Frankie! I have recently earned degrees in both Math and Physics from Cornell University. Prior to joining Varsity Tutors, I worked as both a Math Course Assistant and as an SAT Math Tutor. In addition to working with students, I'm also currently conducting Applied Math Research for the National Science Foundation at Pennsylvania State University. During my years of High School, I was running for my Cross Country team and was digging for my State...

...them to work one out themselves. Sometimes for physics problems, what can be most helpful for students is to talk through the situation presented in the problem and describe, verbally, concepts such as energy transfer and forces, for example, to help them understand what we are concerned with in the particular problem. Outside of academia, I am interested in living a sustainable, minimal life. I enjoy trying to find ways to reduce wasted resources and...
