Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Kirkland, WA

Helping students achieve confidence and understanding is the most rewarding job in the world. I've worked successfully in classrooms with elementary aged students, and tutored students up to college level. I always start by meeting my students at their level of experience and understanding so that we can work together to build up their skills. My favorite topics to teach are math and science, but I can help with nearly any K-12 subject.

...Gonzaga University. I graduated with a Bachelors of Business Administration with concentrations in International Business and Entrepreneurship. I have been tutoring for almost 10 years now, with students that were in 1st grade, all the way up to college level. I have tutored primarily in math since that was always my favorite subject in school. In high school I took almost every math class available up to AP Calculus AB and BC, which I scored...

...of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I started out doing research but realized it was teaching others about my research that I enjoyed the most. I went on to pursue teaching at the secondary level and have taught virtually and in person for the past 11 years. I have taught Biology, Environmental Science, Physical Science, Earth and Earth Space Science and my favorite-Anatomy and Physiology. Outside of teaching I love doing anything...

I tailor my lessons based on my student's needs. Everyone is different, with different goals, so I try to focus on what they need to achieve those goals.

...CA, I grew up loving the outdoors and exploring local beaches and mountains. This interest in the outdoors manifested in me studying Biology at Occidental College. During my undergraduate, I worked in two undergraduate labs: Neurobiology and Ecology labs. My research took me to Costa Rica, where I studied a tropical canopy tree in Costa Rica's tropical forest. After graduating, I joined Teach For America where I taught high school Biology, AP Biology and Anatomy...

I am a university student studying to get into medical school. I have always loved tutoring mathematics to people who struggle in their studies and need a bit of extra help. I always love seeing the moment that the material clicks into place for them.

...from student to student. I gauge what works and does not work when it comes to teaching techniques and tailor my approach to best help my student learn. Additionally, I've seen that asking questions and guiding my students to the answer helps them retain more information than simply telling them what the correct answer is at the start. Overall, my goal with each student is to have them understand the concepts of whichever subject they...

...research tenure thus formulating a personalized approach for each student based on their interest, goals, and aspirations. I feel that tutoring would give a platform where I can transform my practical knowledge into a theoretical approach in a simple, interesting, and engaging way. While I tutor a number of biology subjects like ecology, molecular biology, genetic engineering, cell biology, zoology, immunology, botany, plant science, and other basic life sciences, I am passionate about microbiology and...

I'm a lifelong learner and hope to share my love of learning with my students. I graduated in 2014 from Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Science in Physics, with a minor in Chemistry. My favorite subject to teach is math. It's a tough subject, and I've found that practice, patience, and repetition is the best way to learn it!

...Vermont where I received my B.S. in Mathematics with minors in Economics, Computer Science and Physics. Throughout my time in college, I was a very active tutor with experience as a teaching assistant as well. I worked for the Math department to provide support for students in lower level classes and feedback on assignments to address any misunderstandings. I was a teaching assistant for the Economics department where I held office hours, one-on-one meetings and...

...I was working with people with disabilities, and one of my responsibilities was to help them take the tests and to complete the homework. In addition, I spent 10 years working as an AVID tutor at the Puyallup School District, in Washington state. Also, I have 4 children of my own to whom I help academically throughout the school years and college years. I love to tutor any subject. As a Varsity tutor I was...

...real help when it is needed to ensure their academic success. My strongest subject was always math, but as I have gotten older I've slowly been able to unlock my writing potential as well. I think by going through the process of having to figure out my own writing process, when it did not fit with the process I was always taught, I can better help those who may have the potential to be good...

...education and love teaching young students. I have recently taken a leave of absence from teaching 2nd grade, after the birth of my daughter. I believe students learn the best when they are part of the process, meeting their needs where they are at. With how schooling has been the past 2 years, I double down on this statement. A student learns best when met at their level and then supported from there. I like...

...who is not a visual learner. I was able to adjust my methods to accommodate her learning style. I have had the opportunity to learn from fantastic teachers. I have been able to learn many helpful tips and tricks to pass on to students. Not only would I be able to adjust my teaching style, I am also very patient and encouraging in my teaching style. There are a lot of difficult subjects that are...

...my high school. I've never felt so much joy when I had the chance to walk her through concepts that was difficult for both her and me to understand. At that time, I didn't have that much of a biology background myself. I was still taking AP biology class while she was taking the general biology. I wasn't even the best student in that AP class, but my AP biology teacher approached me and asked...

...to different states' curricula and to students' ages and personalities. My classes focused on allowing students to explore the world around them, and to ask their own questions, creating an open space where they could learn how to challenge themselves. Both schools at which I taught operated with rotating groups coming for three days therefore requiring me to remain flexible and to build rapport fast, skills essential to my success. I most enjoy teaching environmental...

First, a tutor needs to be concerned for his students and needs to create a friendly learning environment. Then, the tutor can establish a team in order to improve the product. The product is homework, quizzes and exams. Good study habits are very important. Many times a parent can help a student with this, so the team might consist of the tutor, student and a parent.

...anymore. I have a BS in mechanical engineering from Cal Poly SLO and I'm also a submarine veteran. For the last couple years, I worked for a medical device company building new robotic instrument prototypes. I've tutored privately off and on for about 10 years and I was a teacher's aide in college. Tutoring doesn't even feel like work to me because I enjoy it so much, even when students try to be difficult. I...

...and I love both learning and teaching! Helping other people to gain knowledge and understand the world is something I've always loved. I know how much of a difference good teachers and 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...

...South China Sea. My pursuit of biology has taken me from studying crows’ ability to recognize human faces here in Seattle to researching critically endangered monkeys and dolphins in picturesque rural China. I am excited to encourage my students to become confident in their areas of study so they too can pave the academic avenues to follow their dreams. I tutor Writing, English as a second language, Mandarin, and biology. Instilling confidence in my students...
