Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving New Haven, CT

...applying for the graduate teaching award, numerous students wrote me letters of recommendation stating that I was instrumental in them passing the class, because I was able to communicate difficult concepts in easy-to-undertand manners. My teaching philosophy is to guide and show, not tell, students how to complete complex problems and assignments. This includes going through multiple examples to make theoretical concepts concrete and asking questions that aid the student in fully understanding concepts, so...

...kids were hardworking and bright but still struggling with large gaps in their fundamental skills. We focused on their own specific needs -algebra, grammar, reading- at whatever pace was right for each day. I saw many students make large strides in difficult classes and I had many very grateful customers. However the "Slow and Steady" motto is not always easy to sell in the high-stakes world of Test Prep. That's why I founded my own...

...College in New York City in 2007. A few years later, I attended LaGuardia Community College and became a licensed veterinary technician, which means I am an animal nurse! My academic interests mostly relate to animals: zoology, evolutionary ecology, paleozoology, social evolution, and phylogenetics. I also love studying history, and will always assert that nothing happens in a historical vacuum. In my free time I do a lot of reading and a lot of writing,...

...middle school, and 7 years high school, here in Connecticut. At the middle school, I served as the head of the math department, IT, and SSAT testing, including English, verbal, and more. Along the way, I taught every math course from 5th Grade to Calculus. Algebra remains my favorite, but I enjoy them all! In 2012, I earned a Master's degree at CCSU, where I focused on Statistics and Economics, my latest passions.

Hello, I have almost 20 years experience within a middle school science classroom as a teacher and department head where I have instructed Earth Science, Life Science as well as Physical Science. I would love to help students as a member of the Varsity Tutor program as best as I can. Thank you, Brian

...enjoy helping others out. I feel that knowing a subject and knowing how to teach said subject can be quite different. Being able to relate to different types of people and understanding different learning styles is extremely important and listening for comprehension, as a teacher/tutor, is a necessary skill that I don't see enough of. Knowing how crucial it is, I try my best to really listen and understand the learners point of view in...

...I also really enjoy teaching others what I know related to science, mathematics, and physics. Science is an exact way to describe how the world works and a way to explore opportunities to make it better. The reason I enjoy sharing what I know is that I also refresh myself, and in the process I get to meet new people and create new connections with people who share similar interests, which is most rewarding.

...are learning and, if they are truly invested in their studies, understand who they are as individuals and what paths they want to take in their lives. Personally, I found it hard to know what you want to do for the rest of your life in the short amount of time high school prepares the students, so I am hoping that I will bring new ideas that will make my students truly think about these...

...succeeding academically has become necessary in order to live comfortably in the future. I try to simultaneously help students reach their personal/social potentials, so that they bring winning attitudes into the future as well. I enjoy the challenge of tutoring, as it forces me to think in new ways, and it is rewarding to witness the moment a difficult concept "clicks" for a student. In my free time, I volunteer at local school systems, play...

Learning is an ongoing process. As a tutor it is my goal to help take information and make it "real" for the learner. In this way theory becomes practical information that can help one grow. Aside from helping others understand concepts, I enjoy anime, sports (basketball & skateboarding), and learning new things myself.

I am a sophomore biology major at the University of Pittsburgh. I have experience tutoring during high school and really enjoy working with others and explaining complex topics. My best subjects are math and science in which I have done well in through high school and college. Additionally, I have experience with preparing for and taking AP tests and SATs. I would be more than happy to help with those areas as well!

...my students from the agony of unnecessary failure. While employed as a machine tool builder, I learned that high-school and middle-school children in town were interested in radio and electronics. We promptly formed a club, cannibalizing old TV sets for parts. I helped guide these energetic kids to earn their amateur radio licenses. We had a great time getting on the air, sometimes from campsites with portable power. What they learned about math, electronics, and...

I served as the lead undergraduate tutor for thermodynamics and strength of materials while studying Mechanical Engineering at RPI. I am interested in tutoring high school students in Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry.
