Award-Winning Physics Tutors in Shoreline, WA

...activities such as the UW dream project where we mentored high school children that came from low economic backgrounds, undergraduate research, and some Vietnamese based volunteer work. I also did some freelance tutoring around my University campus in subjects such as Organic Chemistry, upper division Biology, Introductory Biology, as well as Biochemistry.

...all levels of students, from elementary school up to college and beyond. I am very patient and understanding by nature, and have a knack for getting to the root of any problem in order to help students understand it themselves. I am not interested in simply just giving you the correct answer. My ultimate goal...

...based on planet earth. I was part of the PHOQUS project, working with optical tweezers for biological applications. After having failed to evolve my optical tweezers into light-sabres, I devolved my spare time to science communication. Sometime along the way, I have lived in Belgium, studying photovoltaics, and in Germany, doing a bit of chemistry....

...is my ability to approach a problem from multiple angles. If the first approach I suggest for a problem isn't clear to a student, I can usually come up with an alternate, sometimes more intuitive way of addressing the same problem. Recreationally, I spend a significant fraction of my time developing my problem-solving skills with...

...help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm applying to grad school now, and in my spare time I love cooking and baking (it's vaguely scientific, right?). I rowed in high school and college, so I know all about the difficulties of balancing school and extracurriculars. Now I do yoga and run, sporadically.

...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...

...am excited by seeing students "get it." 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...

...I have some previous experience teaching AP chemistry and AP biology as well as working with immigrants learning English. My teaching style is efficient but relaxed. Instead of giving lectures, I like to see students work out problems on their own as much as possible before I jump in to offer advice. After all, my...

...I try to keep my math tutoring interesting by linking it to real scientific applications. Similarly, I try to give my science students an understanding of the deeper principles underlying the material they are learning. While I primarily teach students who are preparing for college or currently attending a STEM-focused program as an undergraduate or...

...Whitman. At Montana State University, where I took my prerequisites, I served as a peer instructor for physics classes. Just as I did at the writing center, I tried to get students to see the fun in physics, making their studies less of a chore and more of an inquisitive process. Whenever it’s sunny and...
