...University of Washington with a major in Computer Science. As such, I tutor mainly subjects in STEM ranging from algebra and calculus to a variety of coding languages. I have always enjoyed learning and teaching fields in STEM as they have a definitive answer and it is up to the student to understand and apply it. However, this then requires teachers of STEM to adapt and specialize their patterns most suitable for the learner. Personally,...

...what-if any- incomplete or incorrect knowledge the student may possess, identifying sources of error, detailed, guided instruction and frequent checks for comprehension. I have experience teaching students from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities and am more than willing to assist all students, including those struggling to grasp basic content to those who require in-depth support for their Advanced Placement coursework. On a personal level, I am a high school science and middle school...

In high school, I tackled various AP classes, from calculus to German. In college, I successfully completed two bachelor of science degrees in chemical engineering and applied mathematics. Although my educational background has shaped the subjects I teach, my tutoring experience with multiple college organizations has shaped my teaching methods.

I am currently getting my Physics degree at Seattle University with minors in mechanical and electrical engineering. I have a passionate for helping students and a drive to inspire them to use the tools from a variety of subject areas to solve problems and achieve their goals.

As an engineering student, I am very familiar with high level math, physics, chemistry, and other STEM courses, as well as English, writing, and public speaking. I can use teaching methods demonstrated by my professors to teach others. In high school, I tutored younger students in Latin, using techniques like flashcards and quizzes.

...to my next chapter at UW, studying Geology and Statistics. I found my love for tutoring during the covid lockdown. I helped my local library host online tutoring sessions 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...

...mentors have made in my own life, and I hope to be able to pay that forward. I have a bachelors in Electrical Engineering and an MBA, and have worked as an Engineer or other technical role for more than a decade. Before that, I was a submarine officer in the U.S. Navy, trained to drive the submarine and operate its nuclear reactor. I've even taught at the university level at Texas A&M University and...

Hello, My name is Erik Dassoff and I hold a master's degree in Food Technology from a leading Dutch University. I also have a strong academic track record, having all A's throughout K-12 and my undergraduate degree. I enjoy problem-solving in math and science, but also enjoy applying it to useful real-life scenarios. I look forward to meeting and working with you! Cheers, Erik

...the meantime, I am tutoring and working on various academic projects. I have been tutoring math, physics, and astronomy for 3 years. My approach is to help individual comprehension rather than rote memorization. I'm interested in a lot of things outside of just tutoring! I enjoy bouldering, playing the guitar, programming, and hiking with my girlfriend and dog. If you live around the University of Washington, you might have seen me hosting public astronomy nights...

...State certified teacher with 6 years of classroom teaching experience. I taught AP Chemistry and Chemistry for the last 3 years, and taught middle school science and 9th grade science before that. I love engaging in science and examining the world around me. As a teacher, I enjoyed working with students one-on-one and seeing their eyes light up when they had that "A-ha!" moment. I left teaching in search of a more flexible schedule. 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 love cooking and...

...lot of experience tutoring informally and formally in a range of math subjects and physics topics. Even as a major of physics in college, I would sometimes end up tutoring other physics majors in some Junior level physics classes if I had taken the class before. In my free time, I like to hang out with friends, read (mostly sci-fi and fiction), play video games, and study new topics in physics and math. I am...

I am a current senior in college studying Statistics and Oceanography. I have plenty of experience in the math and science world and have tutored several students from middle school age to college freshmen. I'm looking forward to working with everyone!

I've always loved learning math and science, a fact which I attribute almost entirely to a series of excellent teachers. I want to spread my love of learning by helping students learn through their own exploration and thought, and teach test-taking strategies to improve their mindset while taking standardized tests.

I recently graduated from Columbia University where I majored in English Literature. I'm also a pre-medical student, and I am currently taking a gap year teaching at an elementary school in Seattle before I apply to medical school next year. I have the most experience tutoring elementary and middle school students, but I am also comfortable with teaching english, math, and science K-12, and also the MCAT. Please get in touch if you are interested!

I'm currently a freshman at Pacific Lutheran University majoring in mathematics and technical theater design. My primary goal in any tutoring session is to gather a deeper understanding of any topic we cover together. Above all, I hope to make a little piece of someone's life a bit easier.
