Award-Winning Physics Tutors in Mesa, AZ

...department throughout my following years in college. I started teaching because it seemed, at the time, just a fairly easy part-time job, but I realized I stayed at both positions throughout college because I discovered I had a passion for teaching and genuinely enjoyed what I did. Aside from academics, I also enjoy teaching violin. Music has been a lifelong passion of my starting at the age of 5. In high school, I selected for...

...University. I acquired excellent teaching skills while I was a graduate student at San Francisco State University for which I even received an honor of outstanding physics teaching assistant from San Francisco State University. I was also a math instructor for a Summer Bridge program at San Francisco state University where my responsibility was to teach first year college algebra. I have tutored kids in the age group of 8 to 15 in the subject...

..."Aha! That makes sense!" moments that students get when first grasping concepts for the first time, and am available for tutoring in a variety of subjects, primarily physics, math (all levels), and other science subjects, as well as test prep. I was valedictorian of my high school, an AP National Scholar, and a National Merit Finalist. I scored 35 on the ACT and 2250 on the old SAT (~1540 on the new SAT).... While every student deserves (and should receive, once enough time has passed to determine) an individualized teaching style, I find that the best way to approach teaching is to ask the student to simply attempt whatever they're having trouble with. Once I see what specifically they're having trouble with, either misremembered formulas, misconceptions, or difficulty understanding the material, I can try to explain it in a way that makes intuitive sense.

...would love to help you or your student reach their potential. I offer flexible hours, I am easy to get along with, and I have effective methods. I take pride in helping others learn. I have a BS in mechanical engineering so there isn't a high school or college math class I haven't taken. I'm a Physics dork as well! Outside of tutoring, I love the outdoors, sports (especially the Cardinals and Suns!), and science-fiction....

I am currently an mechanical engineering major at Arizona State University. I work with a student organization on campus that designs, tests, and works on satellites and satellite systems. I enjoy hiking, running, and going to a movie or bowling with friends.

...noting that I was able to accomplish all of this in three years, rather than four, due to my focus and success on AP tests. As for my specific tutoring experience, I have been teaching students since high school, and volunteering with local children of lower socioeconomic status for the past three years. These lessons have been for students of all ages ranging from elementary school to college. In high school I also excelled on...

...in material we were studying in class; helping them to achieve high B's and A's in chemistry, microbiology, biochemistry, and physical chemistry. I have been a tutor now for the last 5 years helping student in the maths and sciences from college level, honors, and ap classes to regular classes. I currently work in an environmental compliance laboratory. I'm flexible regarding times and locations. and am available most days after 6. I also am able...

...given me a sense of which topics are particularly troubling to students, and how to best explain these topics in a way that is understandable. When I tutor, I try to make the subject as easy and approachable as possible. Sometimes science classes can seem more difficult than they actually are, and I try to help others realize this. I am also well-versed in the structure and content of the MCAT. It is not an...

...to encourage and motivate students for long term success. As a tutor, my goal is to instill confidence in students, develop a curiosity for the world, create a fascination for the fundamentals, and imbue motivation for learning from within the learner. I believe that every person has the capacity for any subject, and that in order to unlock the key to success, each student has to look inside themselves, with possibly help from an external...

...math and science. I have worked with students of varying ages, from grade school through high school level. My greatest satisfaction is working with a student when they 'get it', understanding a concept that had been confusing or uncertain. While this can be gradual or sudden, you can really see it when it makes sense. I also enjoy helping students prepare for Standardized Tests. My goal is to help them advance, while keeping the material...
