Award-Winning Physics Tutors in Maryland

...finally have the breakthrough and that "Aha!" moment, as we Teachers call it. I am a Math and Science Teacher for the ESL population at my school and I always tell my students, "Math is Science and Science is Math," so it's tough for me to pick which subject is my favorite. As a Teacher and a Tutor, my goal is to help students to become "elite problem solvers and master thinkers." I help each...

I recently completed a degree in Biochemistry at St. Mary's college of Maryland and in the Fall I will be starting a PhD in Neuroscience at Vanderbilt University. I have spent 3 years in different research labs, doing work ranging from behavioral neuroscience to synthetic medicinal chemistry. My work has been presented at national conferences in both neuroscience and chemistry.

...research internships at Yale University, The Ohio State University and the National Institute of Health, as well as be awarded two research Fellowships. I have an enormous passion for Biology, Chemistry, Math and History. As a tutor, I have helped many students at the K-12 and undergraduate levels, and take the most pride in seeing my students improve their grades and begin to appreciate the subject. It is important to me that I not only...

...through a program that aimed to prepare these potential first generation college students to succeed in their high schools' college prep coursework. I continued teaching during college and graduate school where I was a teaching assistant for several undergraduate Physics courses and a lab instructor for an introductory Earth Science course. Nowadays, when I'm not tutoring, you can find me judging at local county science fairs or volunteering at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural...

I believe in a logical but fun approach to tutoring. I try to design plans that reinforce subjects in multiple ways, to encourage memorization and ensure that students don't get bored. This approach befits both the teacher and the student. I have extensive experience tutoring students in mathematics, and I have tutored in science as well. I have also tutored unofficially on test-prep with students in my area.... If you provide students with a structured plan and help, they will teach themselves.

...Montreal, my variety of extracurricular experience formatted and solidified my interest in education. My work with BrainReach, in which neuroscience students create and present lessons to elementary school students in high need schools, especially contributed to my passion for education. I have tutored and/or taught a variety of ages from 4-21, as well as a variety of subjects including all sorts of Mathematics, Sciences, and Test Preparation. I am a passionate and enthusiastic tutor, and...

...lot of Math and Physics knowledge for processing ultrasound signals and writing software to display images, plus a little bit of Chemistry and Biology for understanding what was happening as we took images. During my time at UNC I also had the opportunity to work with Habitat for Humanity, both building homes and tutoring the children who lived in the neighborhoods we were working in. It was incredibly rewarding to work with the same students...

...of the tests. I believe that it is important to impart important concepts and problem solving mechanisms to people because it allows them to learn a process that can be applied to different problems in life outside the exam setting. I definitely try to impart my passion for problem solving onto people I tutor. In my spare time, I enjoy playing and watching most sports but especially basketball, tennis, football, and cricket. I also enjoy...

...was great to see how my students could eventually come around to seeing standardized tests as a puzzle, rather than a chore. I've since spent several semesters as an Introductory Chemistry TA during my undergrad at Amherst College, where I majored in Biochemistry and Biophysics, magna cum laude. I'm also pre-med; I'm applying to medical schools now, for matriculation in the fall of 2014. I'm very passionate about science, particularly Microbiology. My enthusiasm and knowledge...

...students of all ages (from elementary school to adult) in a wide variety of subjects, including Math (Elementary Math to Calculus), Science (including Physics and Chemistry), test prep (ACT, SAT, GMAT, GRE), and English. My approach is individualized - each student gets a lesson based on his needs, strengths, and weaknesses. I try to find out exactly what a student has difficulty understanding, and I break it down into the simplest ideas possible.
