Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Bucks County, PA

...style of teaching constantly adapts to the needs of the individual student, using visual aids, mnemonics, and emotional support as needed. One of the best compliments I ever received was from a rival who sat in on a physiology tutoring session I led in graduate school. He said, "You break it down so that a six-year-old could understand it." This is the level of understanding I aim to impart to all my students. I firmly...

...students learning Math and English at Kumon Math and Reading, as well as my local ESY program. I've also mentored high school students in my local health science magnet school on college readiness and study strategies. I like to relate difficult concepts to analogies relevant to the real world, rather than focus on dry text in a book. This way, students can not only memorize but truly understand and learn. To teach is also to...

...I facilitated. Her teachers had become concerned that she may simply be stuck at her 3rd grade reading level. However, in a focused, small group setting, with appropriate support, she made 5 months of progress in two weeks. I could give numerous examples, but they all come back to the same point: all students can learn. My second principle relates to the first: high expectations and proper support are a pathway to success. High expectations...

...School so that I may begin working towards my Doctorate in Medicine in the Fall of 2014. When working with students, I try to approach problems from various angles as often science has parallels in other fields. In addition, we all occupy the same world and therefore have some degree of intuition as to how things should work. I like to draw on that intuition to help students conceptualize various topics. I live to work...

...on a full tuition scholarship to culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu. After the completion of my culinary schooling, I moved back stateside to Philadelphia. I currently work as a full time pastry chef, but still enjoy engaging in the academic community. I tutored math and science for two years in college and have always found myself in mentoring positions. I find immense fulfillment in helping others understand difficult concepts, and feel as though my...

...in New Jersey. Although I was completely comfortable lecturing during my large classes, as an instructor, I made every effort to work one-on-one with my students during office hours and through appointments. I am currently working as a research associate, yet I plan on teaching at the college level again in the future. I would love to continue to hone my craft as a teacher and educator through working with Varsity Tutors!

...Bachelor's degree is Special Education and my Master's degree in Curriculum and instruction. I am certified in Special Education (K-12), as a Reading Specialist (K-12), PreK-4th grade education as well as Middle School English Language Arts. I love helping students get to that "light bulb" moment. I believe that it is important to get to know each student in order to motivate them to succeed. Providing students with examples that make sense to them and...

...is also a great fit for me right now because I am in the process of starting my own non-profit and the flexibility of teaching allows me to support myself until my non-profit gets up and running. Outside of work, I am an avid backpacker (just this past year I backpacked the Grand Canyon, the Adirondacks and Olympic National Park). And I also enjoy kayaking on the Brandywine, playing pick-up soccer games, cooking and taking...

...the use of technology so expect to use many technological tools for educational purposes. In my experience helping struggling students prepare these tools can be of great help breaking the ice into the material before and after sessions. I am a firm but kind in my teaching ability and I promote and encourage students to understand the material in a way that is always interesting and applicable to their daily lives. In my spare time,...

...to feel the same. Mathematics is ubiquitous in our world and contains profound truths that every human being should be able to understand and appreciate. Students who "hate" math seldom truly do; often only a past bad experience has ruined the subject for them. From there, I branched out to the sciences and things only became more fun. In all my tutoring, I strive to emphasize the underlying beauty of the subject. I find that...

...phonics. I believe that it is important to really get to know my student so that I can better teach them. I try to learn their interest and hobbies so that I can use them during a lesson. I like to try to make a personal connection with each of my students and really tailor what they are learning to them so that they are able to relate to the material. I believe that students...

...and strategies needed for success within many high school/college classes and standardized tests such as the SAT and AP. Outside of school I have a passion for medicine and assisting others when I can. I hope to pass along knowledge in my subjects of expertise and help students meet the goals that they set for themselves. I aim to do this by teaching in an engaging way that will promote both success for the student...

...and Human Anatomy, which requires me to have "office hours" available in order to help students that are struggling. Tutoring students can be very simple and sometimes very complicated, but I always look for ways to make analogies to things students feel more comfortable with so it doesn't seem like I'm speaking a foreign language to them. I get a personal sense of satisfaction when someone stops and goes, "oh, I've never thought of it...

...Everyone learns in a unique way. If we spend our time following our passions and figuring out what learning style works best for us, than our education can be transformative. One of the primary problems of our education system is the lack of individualized learning time, and personal relationship building between teacher and student. I think we tend to use a one size fits all approach with education because our schools and teachers don't have...

I have been committed to becoming a great teacher ever since my high school chemistry teacher planted the idea in my head. I have always enjoyed teaching because of the opportunity it provides for me to help students learn and grow as people.

...with a focus on health education and nursing. My very first job in college was tutoring at-risk high school students in math and the SAT exam. Since then, I have enjoyed working with students and find that mentoring students and seeing them succeed is important to me. My favorite subjects to teach have always been Algebra, Geometry, and SAT Math because my teaching style involves creative techniques, tips, and tricks that students find more enjoyable...

I am a practicing internal medicine physician in an academic setting. I have great interest in teaching, helping and inspiring future healthcare professionals. I am happy to help however I can. ... Learning best occurs when education is delivered from the ground up. It is like making a house of knowledge with a strong foundation in fundamental concepts. This will ensure that the learning is based in understanding instead of rote memorization.... Most importantly, I would...

Hi! I'm Cici, a recent Engineering graduate who is passionate about learning and helping others. I enjoy making complex topics easier to understand and would love to use that ability to help you succeed in your studies.

...in Classical Archaeology. I am currently the Master Electrician for the Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, PA. While I am most adept at Physics, Astronomy and Math, I have always had a passion for English Grammar, proofreading and editing. That same love of English helps me when trying to communicate mathematical and scientific ideas to those for whom the sciences are a struggle. Conversely, I feel that my science background helps me teach English...

...I taught high school chemistry and general science, running labs, lessons, and anything else that was required. While doing that, I started teaching LSAT classes after work. Now, I'm a full time tutor, devoted to helping students score higher on tests and do better in classes. Because I've been a science teacher, I know how they think, why they do certain labs, and what they're likely to ask in tests. For LSAT, I've never worked...
