Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Pittsburgh, PA

SAT/ACT Tutor currently pursuing a degree in Finance and Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University

...to help some of his freshman students. It became an incredibly rewarding experience, for these students that I stuck with for nearly the entire school year were able to boost their grade up and feel more confident in their work. Some of my hobbies include playing tennis, hiking, and watching reruns of "Malcolm in the Middle" (my all-time favorite TV show). Currently, I'm a senior at the University of Pittsburgh double majoring in Neuroscience and...

I'm an intended physics or engineering concentrator at Brown University, and I would love to help you out with math or writing (including college essays).

...I have obtained an extensive knowledge of high level math and statistics. I joined several study groups and learned the importance of teaching my fellow students in order to gain a more concrete understanding of the material myself. After graduation, I had the opportunity to work for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration collecting data at sea and wrangling data from the internet. I also volunteered to assist a math class at an alternative high...

...a performance art. The teacher must entertain and engage the student as well as communicate the required information. I accomplish this with discussions of useful relationships and background material. Useful relationships include shortcuts between quantities and concepts, and most importantly the use of dimensional analysis to verify test answers. Background material such as the history of science and mathematics is quite effective at not only making the material more interesting but at clarifying concepts and...

...have worked previously as a tutor in various settings and with various age groups, including peer tutoring Spanish and math during college and working elementary students in virtually all subjects. I like working as a tutor, because I enjoy helping others and seeing them reach their potential. My academic background is predominantly in Spanish and math, but do have a strong understanding of several subjects, including English and high school physics. I currently possess a...

...cumulative final exams: working with other people helps. An extra mind proves its usefulness when you turn to your friend and ask, "so what exactly is the 'enthalpy' of a system and what does it mean?" As your friend picks up a dry erase marker, walks over to the board and spends the next 10 minutes kneading the idea into your head you come to understand how a bit of help from another, a 'tutor,'...

...both my peers in physics as well as children of the local community through the YMCA. When tutoring math and science, I find it is important to give students applicable real-world examples in order to promote interest in the subject. I am a firm disbeliever in the phrase, "when am I going to use this in 'real-life'" because furthering education in any subject improves the quality of life. I also learned the importance of gaining...

...local hospitals where I am part of a team that manages the medical equipment program. I have previously tutored college-aged students in a variety of math and science subjects. Math and biology are my favorite to teach. I enjoy taking more complex theories and information and scaling them down to ideas we use everyday. I also use analogies and I am a visual learner, so I employ the use of drawings, charts, and graphs extensively....

...pursue psychiatry. I have been studying French for nine years and love to learn about the culture. The language is beautiful and opens one to a new world of literature and history. However before being able to appreciate these things more fully, one must first have an understanding of the language structure. This too can be fascinating and does not need to be boring or difficult. Whether you are a school student or an adult...

...when needed, but more importantly, when wanted. One should always strive to better themselves even in their prime. As I delve into my undergraduate studies, I hope to not only pursue my education, but help others with theirs, whether that be a certain subject or standardized test. Other than tutoring, I play and coach tennis professionally. I spend my free time running, swimming, playing the piano, or even exploring my artistic abilities.

I attained my bachelor of science degree in biochemistry from Penn State University in May 2017. I tutor math and science generally and have been doing so for almost three years at the college level. I like to keep the learning atmosphere relaxed, but focused. In my free time I enjoy listening to music, playing sports (soccer, basketball), and reading books.

...way we are doing it. There are 12 ways to tackle every problem and the one that first comes to mind isn't always the easiest. The road to the finish isn't always a straight line and we should always be looking for those little twists and turns that will get us there faster. I try to create a very low stress environment and hope that every single person I tutor goes on to do greater...

...in the real world. Personally, I graduated from Loyola University in Chicago, with a degree in Biophysics, and am awaiting the start of my doctoral program in Biophysics at the University of Pittsburgh. As the name would imply, biophysics is a new field applying advanced mathematical and physical principles to biological systems, at or below the molecular scale. On that vein, I enjoy teaching mathematics, physics, and biology. Although, for me, understanding physics provides the...

...my Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from WVU. I have a strong background in Math and Chemistry. I graduated with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. I've tutored for a couple of years in high school and college Math and Chemistry courses. I enjoy helping students understand or explain things in ways that they will understand a topic that is difficult for them. I promote out-of-the-box thinking and I hope that I...

...Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering. I've wanted to be a dentist since I was eight years old and I'll finally be starting dental school in August at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine! During my undergraduate years, I accumulated 142 credits over eight semesters, all while participating in extracurricular activities and publishing my own children's book. I believe in strong time management and prioritizing and knowing when you have to ask for help....

I am a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Applied Mathematics. I have enjoyed teaching Physics at the college level inspiring students to understand the concepts of dynamics, optics, electromagnetics, electrical circuits, and wave mechanics.

...the Tristam-Nagle Biophysics Lab performing measurements of lipid density and volume. I have always enjoyed learning and spreading that knowledge to others. I'm very enthusiastic to practice this love for learning and teaching by aiding others in their studies through Varsity Tutors! My background in Science and Mathematics makes these subjects my strong suits; however, I am also capable of mentoring in English and the Humanities. I look forward to working with you!

...both professional and academic experience in computer science as well. I am passionate about mathematics, and I have been tutoring students and peers of varying ages and abilities in math for about 7 years now. Further, I was a TA for the AP Calculus AB and BC classes in high school from my sophomore year through senior year. I have a deep interest in logical deduction and the general art of mathematical problem solving; however,...

...test. I came from a rural high school (DuBois, PA) with no AP classes as well as no Honors classes. I was projected that engineering would be too difficult for me and that I should pursue something less rigorous. I ended up graduating with a Honors degree in chemical engineering and a minor in mathematics from the Pennsylvania State University. I then received a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University doing all of...
