Award-Winning Science Tutors in Santa Monica, CA

...most, tutoring students and helping them through their academic struggles. I enjoy interacting with students and seeing them improve academically as it gives me a lot of self-satisfaction. I enjoy teaching chemistry, physics and mathematics the most. I have many teaching strategies that I tend to implement in my tutoring sessions, and they have proved effective during my teaching career. I choose to interact with the family of the student and continually update them on...

...variety of topics and tests, primarily those related to history and writing skills, such as AP U.S. History and essay writing, because of my background in academic subjects that heavily emphasize research and papers. I also tutor introductory Spanish. I believe in helping the student understand concepts and strategies on their own through dialogue and questions, to ensure that they are truly comprehending and not simply repeating what I have said, and also so that...

I am a biochemistry major at the University of Washington. I want to tutor because I want to improve my teaching and communications abilities, and because I want to help ease the anxiety for students taking the SAT so that they can walk in on exam day with full confidence.... That depends entirely on the student; if they are concerned with their grades and their future, I would help them get a sense of how a good score would help. If they are not motivated by that, then I would relate to them based on their personalities.

...technical areas since college. One thing that I have always succeeded at is not just showing somebody how to do a particular type of math problem, but also the fundamentals behind it. I have experience in teaching shortcuts to make math easier, and have the ability to relate math to other topics to make it more understandable. I have tutored students from the elementary level all the way up to college level, and have helped...

...me, it's like another language. I got that love from a high school teacher and would like to pass on that love to the next generation. My approach to teaching Math is to help students relate Math to their daily activities and thus the students won't be so intimidated by the subject. Other subjects that I enjoy tutoring are science, physics, and chemistry. I'd love to help students understand how things work around us. Whenever...

I am originally from Barcelona, Spain, and have been teaching Spanish for over 8 years. I have experience teaching all levels of Spanish: 1-5 Spanish, AP Spanish, SAT preparation, business Spanish, homework assignments, conversational classes, reading comprehension and written reports. I am very patient, excellent communicator and know how to make a lesson both fun and engaging for my students.... Each student needs a different approach.... Understand what they need and, if that is the case, explore the best way to deal with their frustrations.

...the student with a comfortable learning atmosphere, where we can figure out how much the student knows and most importantly, where there are gaps in the student's knowledge base. Once we accomplish this, it's a simple matter of figuring out the best teaching method and angle to help the student fill in those gaps. Further, I firmly believe in helping my students develop into independent learners, equipping them with the proper learning skills to eventually...

...to connect with students with diverse interests. I am most passionate about tutoring math and science, because I think that too many students are told that they're hard or not fun. In my sessions, I always try to relate what we're learning back to something my student is interested in. I really enjoy sharing my love for learning, and I always make sure to keep it fun and informative. Outside of tutoring, I have directed...

If you need help with Chemistry or Physics (for High School or Community College), or any kind of math from Algebra on - let me be your tutor! These subjects don't have to be hard. I can break them down and explain them for you. I'm a nerd (fantasy and science fiction) from way back, as well as a space nut. I'm a little quirky, and I make bad puns sometimes - but nobody's perfect!

...an instructor at the Elementary Institute of Science in downtown San Diego. Here I created my own curriculum, designed my own experiments, and lead groups of 8-15 year olds in learning the fundamentals of Physics. This position allowed me flesh out my understanding of the principles of both teaching and how Physics can be taught. Many students are intimidated by math and physics so I strive to make the content as digestible and accessible. Helping...
