Award-Winning Science Tutors in Albany, NY

I graduated from Penn State in May 2016 with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. I tutored for three years helping kids in freshman and sophomore level math, physics, and chemistry courses. I have tutored groups and individuals. I am an extremely friendly person who loves teaching! The best way to teach a student is to have them answer problems on their own. As a tutor, I am there to help students reach the answer, not to be there for the answer. Specifically, I ask students difficult, but practical questions to get them thinking in the right direction. I want my students convinced they can figure problems out on their own because when it's test time... I won't be there!

I have a passion for life long learning, whether it be through listening to podcasts, reading books, watching documentaries or talking to others. As a tutor and teacher, I believe that getting to know your students and meeting them where they are is the key to success. I love competing athletically, specifically in soccer, rowing, and basketball.

...when students fully grasped a previously difficult concept, or returned to enthusiastically show me a good grade. I have acted as a health educator and a life coach for a diabetes prevention program at a clinic for the uninsured and low income. These adult patients were initially skeptical and had low morale, but through dedication and working together they soon became avid students. I have also tutored student athletes at my university. There were many...

...in math and science up to introductory college-level course. I graduated top of my class in high school and I'm currently working towards my Bachelor degree in Computer System Engineering and Computer Science. I've tutored for paid and as a volunteer for about 4 years now, working predominantly with seniors in high school and below. If I seem like a good fit for you, message me and I'll be more than happy to help!

I am an engineer and educator with excellent insight into math and science applications and experience working with a wide variety of students from primary school through graduate school. I am passionate about helping young people realize their career goals by improving their education.

...a mentor. When I had my first mentor, I wasn't sure he would be the right one. We worked to gether for some time, but some of his characteristics were not compatible with my liking. After about two more mentors, I finally selected a intelligent, organized, and serious mentor that was heavily invested in my success. To have a mentor that is invested in your success is a fantastic feeling. Suddenly, my motivation increased, my...

...helped to explain and teach concepts to many other fellow engineers at my university. I feel comfortable tutoring the subjects within the realm of math and science, specifically the topics that lend themselves to mechanical engineering. Physics based subjects are definitely the most rewarding for me to teach because I feel I have a good understanding of how they work and apply to the real world and I really enjoy showing others these connections. This...

...degree in Elementary Education from University of Maryland-College Park in 2011. I believe that education is freedom. Education allows those that were once silent to be heard. I am a great educator because I have had successful teaching experiences in the Prince George’s County Public Schools system. I am highly qualified to teach all Pre-K. through Grade 6 subjects. Evidence of student achievement is documented through standardized test scores and student learning objectives. In my...

...graduate and new professional in chemistry. The time in this station in life has helped me to see the bigger picture of everything I learned in my years of early adulthood. I now understand the ups and downs of school and life in general and would love to help someone entering this stage in life navigate these obstacles. I believe that everybody has a different way of learning, and therefore in flexible teaching and willingness...

...Colm and I am currently a graduate student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I have been at RPI for 5 years now.

I have a fairly laid back approach to tutoring, with first establishing a baseline with each student and then working to improve the student overall, with focusing on the critical points first. I am...
