Award-Winning Physics Tutors in Maple Grove, MN

...courses prior to my younger siblings taking them, it was natural to spend time answering their questions and working through problems with them. Having graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, I was oftentimes called upon by my peers to help explain a difficult concept, or work through a difficult exercise. In addition to my extensive education in mathematics, I also worked at a Writing tutor at Roger Williams University in the...

...State University. I expect to receive a BS in 5th-12th Grade General Science/Chemistry Education this spring. I've spent my time at St. Cloud State studying various subjects with a focus on math, chemistry, biology and other sciences. I've had multiple opportunities to observe and teach in schools around the area, with time spent tutoring students individually. Teaching and tutoring have been passions of mine for as long as I can remember. I'm looking forward to...

...teacher and tutor. I am firmly of the belief that learning a technical subject like chemistry, physics, or math is much like learning a foreign language: listening and reading is much easier than speaking and writing. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of believing that if you come to class and understand what the instructor is saying, you don't need to practice the material. Accordingly, I emphasize the need to practice...

...from a C to an A. Some feedback I've received from students I previously tutored include: 1) I am good at cracking down complicated scientific concepts into smaller pieces. 2) I am good at explaining things in various ways to help students understand. 3) I am approachable, listen patiently, and respect students' efforts. I also believe bringing positive energy and encouraging students in the correct way are the ultimate shortcuts in helping them achieve better...

I would describe myself as happy, upbeat and zealous for life. I am excited about the present and the future and therefore typically in a good mood and motivated for life. I have over ten years of teaching experience where most of it has been in Beijing, China. I have been tutoring students privately primarily in math and science. My undergraduate degree is in Electrical Engineering. My Master's Degree is in International Education. ... My educational philosophy in brief is to engage students in an educational, fun and disciplined learning environment that liberates students to gain knowledge and skills to be used throughout their lives. I believe in differentiating instruction to meet the students learning level, learning style and abilities.

...tutoring as part of my job. When tutoring we will have as much fun as we can, I like to start and finish my sessions with a quick game and believe that language learning, or any learning for that matter, should be enjoyable. I have also traveled to Jordan and Egypt. I know some limited Arabic in addition to my low level Chinese and Spanish skills. I have a lot of hobbies and interests. I...

...call myself an admissions nerd. From standardized tests like the ACT and GRE to entrance essays of every stripe, I have a passion for helping students achieve the outcomes they deserve. I've been a tutor since my undergraduate days at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. After school I served as a College Access Coach with Americorps. I specialize in both the language and mathematical sections of the ACT, SAT, and GRE. I like to approach...

...biomedical students. I enjoy helping to guide students to a better understanding, so they can explain a concept in their own words (not just in my words). I like to draw out visual explanations whenever possible, for math and science concepts. I've been excited about all kinds of science for pretty much all my life, and I hope I can convey some of this excitement! Outside of academia, I'm into climbing and good board games.

...a part of who I am. I treasure the chance to watch the unique intelligence of people around me unfold. It's an adventure to encounter and systematically overcome problems put in front of us, as a team. I passionately practice that teamwork-focused approach to tutoring, and I and my tutees have a thrill in that intellectual voyage. In my spare time I DJ and travel with friends to explore the vastness of the world and...

...this, that process, the process of self improvement and learning should be a personally enjoyable and rewarding one. That doesn't mean it won't be difficult, it means that after putting in the hard work we should all feel good about ourselves at the end of the day. I like to keep in mind this idea of always pushing ourselves, never settling. Stay curious, read, explore and find out what you are passionate about; then get...
