Award-Winning Physics Tutoring in Seattle, WA

...enjoyed teaching. I started tutoring during my junior year of high school, finding that I had an aptitude for analogies that helped students learn the material. I tutor a large variety of subjects, including LSAT, SAT, and ACT. I also tutor various academic subjects, primarily in the fields of math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, followed closely by Physics. I feel that anyone can learn anything as long as it is...

...Much of the aforementioned experience pertains to one-on-one or small-group tutoring. In addition to enjoying tutoring, I also enjoy seeing my students succeed. In middle school, I struggled to find motivation in the field of mathematics, as many of my teachers didn't spend enough time supporting me and their other students. Only in high school did I grow very interested in math, as my teachers set enough time aside to discuss the material and to...

...writing and math and I spent hundreds of hours in the school system both tutoring and classroom teaching. In addition to the time spent in public schools, I spent the last two summers as a teaching intern at a prestigious independent school in New Hampshire and this fall I taught at an experiential education school in CO, where I mentored students on multiple two-week backpacking trips. It is my belief that learning math is a...

Hello, my name is Matt Kuhn. I am a professional engineer who is exceptional at math, physics, and the sciences. Working with people of all ages is a passion of mine! If I am not at the office, you can find me hiking the mountains of I-90, biking the Interurban Trail, or experimenting with a new recipe. I am a Carnegie Mellon University graduate with two Master's Degrees.

...during undergrad were in Moral Philosophy/Ethics. While at OSU I worked as a Peer Tutor for the University, where I tutored mainly Mathematics ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus. I enjoy tutoring math the most; however, that may be due to the amount of time I've spent doing so. I would love the opportunity to tutor a student in less-frequently requested subjects like Philosophy! My teaching philosophy is a mix of formal training and personal methods....

...studied Physics and Applied Mathematics. I also have extensive experience working in tutoring. One of my most enjoyable moments in undergrad was working as a Research Assistant at Semyung University in optimizing the instruction of curricula for incoming college freshmen. I believe in a problem based approach rather than a lecture based one. Most deficiencies in scores are caused by gaps in the student's knowledge. Through assessment, we can identify where these areas are and...

...science since I was a little kid (I was that weird girl playing with dirt and rocks during recess). I did what I like to call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation or analogy to help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm applying to grad school now, and in my spare time I...

...a big bird nerd. I've had experience tutoring biology, math, and environmental science for the Athletic Department at UW and serving as a Teacher Assistant for UW's Biology Department, including a biodiversity seminar to Peru. Just like the D1 student athletes I work with, academics sometimes don't come naturally, but I look forward to fixing that false assumption. In addition to tutoring, I love playing soccer and I love traveling. I look forward to connecting...

...School Bus and the Bill Nye show. I majored in Neuroscience and Behavior in college, so I learned a lot about Biology and Psychology, and I plan on getting a Master's in Bioengineering. I spent two years serving with the Peace Corps in Peru, where I learned to speak Spanish, build stoves out of adobe, and a lot about life in rural communities. In my spare time I enjoy playing harp and guitar, learning new...

...I have tutored elementary instrumental music, taught environmental science lessons, and mentored undergraduate research assistants. As a strong student throughout my formal education, I bring clarity and knowledge of academic subjects. I learned how to succeed in the system of papers, projects, quizzes, and standardized tests, and I look forward helping other students achieve academic success, toousing patience, kindness, creativity, and a sense of humor. I am currently a neuroscience research technician with a passion...

...and attended three colleges in the area: the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse, and, my alma mater, the University of Wisconsin - Stout. My scenic route through college was the product of indecision and confusion regarding my future because I couldn’t find a way to mesh all of the things in life that excite me into one career. Film and animation have managed to do that for...

...years experience tutoring middle and high school age students, particularly in math and English, in the Los Angeles area. I am patient and understanding, and my goal is to foster a comfortable environment and mutual respect. I make sure that the students I work with know they are important and capable, because I have found that they are most willing to engage and put in effort when such a relationship exists between us.

...With my experience and knowledge, I can help them succeed in their classes. While I tutor a very broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about sciences such as chemistry, biology, microbiology, and math. I really enjoy helping students with their homework as well as preparing them for exams. In my opinion, the best study environment is fun and active learning. I help students participate in the session so they can learn better and...

...I enrolled in Teach For America. I taught high school chemistry and physics for two years in Arkansas. Although I have several years of experience as a science teacher, I actually prefer to tutor math. I think math is the foundation for many sciences and a solid understanding of math can lead to a better understanding of subjects like physics and chemistry. I think that education is based on building habits rather than falling into...

Providing guidance in science and mathematics to help students understand the real-world applications of scientific and mathematical concepts in their everyday lives. I have a B.S.E. in Aerospace Engineering and a B.S. in Sustainable Energy Materials and Technology, and I am pursuing my M.S. in Aerospace Engineering.... Learning science and mathematics through real-world applications that show how concepts can actually be used to solve real problems.... I'd ask them about topics they feel uncomfortable with, as well as understanding how they learn so I can tailor my sessions to their style.

...UW, I was a Pre-Med student, so I am very familiar with Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and other sciences. I also have spent the past few summers tutoring students in Reading and Writing and am able to help with everything from college essays and writing assignments to skills for standardized tests. I'm happy to work with a range of ages and will do my best to help make sessions as useful as possible.

...discovering knowledge with peers and I have been engrossed ever since. Thanks to the students that I have tutored, I have learned to think of topics in many new ways and it is this fluidity with studying and learning that I hope to get across. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing music and running long distances. Coincidentally, my neighbors enjoy running long distances from the music I play! I like to work hard at breaking...

...of tutoring experiences in many subjects, but my strengths lie in mathematics, science, and ACT test prep areas. Having struggled myself the first time I took standardized tests, I understand that even with a solid knowledge foundation tests like the ACT require a substantial amount of exam specific preparation. While my engineering background provides me the opportunity to tutor more advanced math, science, and engineering subjects, I enjoy helping students of all ages and ability...

I like to educate others about sustainability and do activities relating to it. Some of these activities include indoor gardening, learning...

...more. Science may not come naturally to some students, but I believe that enthusiasm and persistence are more important than natural ability. I hope to share my passion for science with younger learners. I recently started a part-time job at the Seattle Aquarium as a mentor and supervisor for high school volunteers working on the youth-led Puget Sound: We Love You campaign. Encouraging and supporting young people's efforts to make the world a better place...
