Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Redmond, WA

Greetings students! I am Kurtis Cruz, a University of Washington graduate with a BSc in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and former employee in the Department of Biology as well. My primary goal is to use my enthusiasm for the arts and sciences to motivate my students. I seek to project an upbeat attitude when teaching any student and adjust my teaching to the students needs as needed. ... One of my goals of teaching is...

...to calculus) and computer science (mostly Java). In the past, I have worked as a tutor and volunteered to be a tutor for students at my high school (I tutored AP Calc AB, AP Calc BC, AP Computer Science A, and AP Computer Science Principles). I also worked at Mathnasium for two years. In lessons, I mainly focus on solving practice problems, so if you want to master a topic, I am excited to help!

...placing more emphasis on understanding concepts than on getting the right answer; the right answer will come when the concepts are understood. I have always excelled at test-taking and scored three 5's (in English Literature/Composition, English Language/Composition, and Calculus AB) and three 4's (in Calculus BC, Physics C, and US History) on my AP exams. When I am not working, I like to read, obsess over my favorite TV shows, make home improvements, and I...

...other CS students or my younger brother when he is struggling with algebra, however computer science is the subject I am most passionate about in terms of tutoring. My teaching philosophy is that I want to get to know students by asking them questions to see what they know already, and what they are having a hard time learning and help them get a better understanding of certain material. I believe that by providing them...

...it should be the same for teaching and learning. Just memorizing formulas and numbers is challenging at best. However, if you learn the real principles, and how they apply to the real world then science and physics is fun. Part of my career has literally been to make science fiction concepts reality or prove with physics and science why they can't be done. I hope I can bring my experience in space missions, in oceanography,...

...for students in need during such an uncertain time. I was in charge of creating curriculums, working with students, and setting a good example. I love helping students find their Ah-ha moment, and I'm looking forward to help you find yours! Being someone who's neurodivergent, school wasn't always easy for me. However with support and perseverance Ive sense found methods that've worked for me and my goals. I'm hoping to share the tools I have...

I am currently working towards a BS in Mathematics from La Salle University with a minor in Chemistry. After graduating this May, I plan on attending graduate school at the University of Washington for Civil Engineering. I enjoy tutoring as I see it as a means to help people overcome an obstacle.

...I am eager to share with others. While I may not have formal tutoring experience, I have spent considerable time helping my classmates and younger siblings grasp complex concepts, particularly in Algebra 2 and physics. My teaching philosophy centers around patience and simplification; I believe that breaking down topics into foundational elements fosters understanding. I enjoy collaborating with students to tailor my approach to their learning styles, ensuring they feel supported throughout their academic journey....

...working from there helps prevent students from shutting down because they have no idea what to do when they see a new problem. While I am here to help students do better in their classes I am also here as a mentor for schooling in general. I am always willing to help out with students who need more help outside of their classes. If there is a non-academic issue that arises while tutoring I will...

...not limited to AP Chemistry, AP Physics, AP Calculus, AP US History, AP US Government, and AP English. I also have extensive experience taking science and math classes at the University of Washington. Lastly, I also have experience with the MCAT (medical school test) and scientific research so if you are an aspiring doctor or scientist I am here for you! I have some previous experience teaching AP chemistry and AP biology as well as...

...in academic writing, programming, and GIS software, I offer a well-rounded, personalized approach to learning. I believe that every student can excel with the right support, so I tailor each session to fit individual learning styles and needs. My goal is to break down complex concepts, transforming challenging subjects into manageableand even enjoyablelearning experiences. Seeing my students grow in confidence and mastery is the most rewarding part of my work. If you're looking for a...

...best to organize and defend a position on any given topic. My hobbies and interests are derived from the region where I currently live: the Northwest. I am a mountaineer, having climbed all the major peaks in Washington and Oregon; I enjoy collecting rocks and exploring deserts and canyons of the Southwest; I play and enjoy classical guitar, and I am constantly reading anything I can get my hands on that appears interesting and intellectually...

...and Engineering. I am comfortable tutoring students with learning challenges. I personally struggle with Dyslexia and ADHD, so I can share tools and methods that worked well for me when learning content in school. I firmly believe that every student can succeed in a subject if they invest enough time into learning it and if the concepts are explained to them well. When I am working with a new student I try to figure out...

I received my Ph.D. degree from the University of British Columbia. With a career path traversing medicine, biomedical research and education, my goal is to facilitate students learning science, biology and human body. I have helped more than a thousand students including middle school & high school students, undergraduates, graduates, adults, and seniors.

...with students as young as kindergarten to as experienced as undergraduates in college. I tutor reading, writing, science (physics, chemistry, biology), mathematics (all levels up to calculus), and MCAT preparation. My teaching style revolves around discussion of the material and doing practice problems to test understanding. I am very patient and don't get frustrated easily. Outside of academia, my favorite hobbies are swimming, playing badminton, cooking, and picking up new songs on my ukulele.

...passionate about what they are learning and appreciate the sacred opportunity to learn, a privilege our modern world has learnt to take for granted. Outside of my studies I am very passionate about athletics and sports, particularly football (soccer) and calisthenics. I believe a human being should be complete in all aspects of their lives, and having a healthy body helps have a healthy mind, which shall influence and help you in positive ways in...

...the student learns. For example, I have a friend who is not a visual learner. I was able to adjust my methods to accommodate her learning style. I have had the opportunity to learn from fantastic teachers. I have been able to learn many helpful tips and tricks to pass on to students. Not only would I be able to adjust my teaching style, I am also very patient and encouraging in my teaching style....

...My experience and education lends to me having not only comprehensive understanding of Physics and Math, but also a deep understanding of how to present/explain in ways that make it easy to pick up the concepts and apply them to word problems. I focus on concepts as well as study skills and strategies for complex knowledge. I believe if I'm doing my job well, my students won't need me at some point because they've mastered...

I am a recent graduate of physics at the University of Arizona, with two years of teaching experience at the college level. During my education, i always found teaching one of the most enjoyable aspects of my day and continue to believe that teaching can spread not only knowledge of a subject, but passion and interest.

...in Mechanical Engineering with a mechatronics focus from the University of Washington, Seattle. Familiar with engineering prereqs such as calculus, chemistry, and physics. Well versed in general mechanical engineering classes (CAD, statics, thermodynamics, etc) and mechatronics classes (controls, embedded, instrumentation, etc). Past experience interacting with elementary and middle schoolers and worked with college undergraduates throughout my time at UW. Generally mellow teaching style and am always aiming to teach more than memorization.
