Award-Winning Science Tutors in Rockville, MD

...and Mathematics Joint Major at McGill University in Montreal, my variety of extracurricular experience formatted and solidified my interest in education. My work with BrainReach, in which neuroscience students create and present lessons to elementary school students in high need schools, especially contributed to my passion for education. I have tutored and/or taught a variety of ages from 4-21, as well as a variety of subjects including all sorts of Mathematics, Sciences, and Test Preparation....

...really important because it is very hard for a visual learner to learn from just listening. I also engage the student in learning. For example, having them label a diagram that I have just talked about. Most important -I encourage my students to ask questions, make comments, even disagree with me. I like making math and science come alive for students. I have successfully worked with elementary, middle school, and high school students. I am...

...at the University of Maryland College Park studying Materials Science and Engineering (which is mostly Chemistry with some Physics). I am a motivated student in the honors college and have made the Dean's list consistently. I enjoy working with kids of all age ranges and I am a very friendly person. I have experience working with and teaching kids through Boy Scouts and through volunteering at summer camps locally and abroad in Italy. I excelled...

...Assistant in a upper divisions Cell Biology Laboratory. I am passionate about teaching science, especially Acid Base Chemistry, Metabolism, and Molecular Biology. I enjoy these subjects because I believe that all biological processes and physiology can be essentially explained through the principles of chemistry. Nothing excites me more than helping students grasp complex concepts and improve their grades. I tutor AP Biology, AP Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, various levels of Spanish, including AP Spanish...

...I answered questions and guided students to a greater understanding of chemical principles. Teaching assistants also staffed help sessions for students who need additional help in understanding chemistry concepts. I have great evaluations from my students to show. I have spent several summers doing research with top researchers from researchers/professors from Johns Hopkins University. Research molds the way you think about questions and how to solve the problem. When teaching others, you must be able...

...Science in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May 2011. I was a Teaching Assistant of a Physics course for two years while I was there. I basically helped teach the class by making sure the students understood what the professor was saying during the lectures. I believe that stripping down a problem to it's simplest explanation and then building from there is the best way to learn something completely.

...science, in fact, is that there are a hundred different resources that will teach you the same material a hundred different ways. Knowing what works best for you, and why, will make mastering material painless and even fun. Outside of science, I enjoy running, traveling, and volunteering. I have had a chance to hike the Annapurna Mountains of Nepal, and have reached the summit of Mt. Elbert, the highest peak in the Rocky Mountains. While there,...

I am a native Mandarin-Chinese speaker and have tutored and interpreted Mandarin in the past. I am pretty flexible and efficient and can help students according to their needs.

On the side, I love hiking, cooking and trying different types of food!!

As a recent college graduate, I look forward to motivating and teaching students. I am familiar with Honors, IB and college-level coursework. My areas of expertise include math, science, history, and MCAT prep.

...tackle basic mathematical ideas if they are given proper patience and instruction. Furthermore, I have learned that every student has a unique style of learning. My tutoring philosophy embodies this notion and I strive to tailor my lessons to fit each student's academic strengths. Having been successful in my academic career, I have learned exactly what it takes to achieve great test scores and high grades. I believe these methods are easy to follow and...
