Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Woodbury, MN

...Minnesota. On my free time I study quantum mechanics and read an abundance of novels that stack up precariously on every surface in my room, causing occasional avalanches. Throughout my education I've frequently made use of online resources like khanacademy, letting me learn more about math, physics, and other subjects than I could through school. However, sometimes it was difficult to find the resources I needed to learn as much as I was capable of...

...I am committed to finding effective strategies for facilitating understanding for each student, rather than just process. Special notes for Competition Math: I placed first in the Twin Cities (St. Paul / Minneapolis, MN) HS league twice, with one time being a tie. I qualified for the AIME twice exam via high AHSME scores. I was on the MN state ARML team twice. I have also sat the Putnam exam, a college-level competitive test.

...especially reading and biology sections. After graduating from the University of Minnesota in 2009 with a B.A. in Theatre and minor in Public Health, I taught English to K-6 students in Seoul, South Korea for two years.

I've also taught ESL to adult immigrants in Minneapolis for three summers, and am ESL certified through the Minnesota Literacy Council....

I am a licensed teacher with a passion for helping students learn to love math. My specialties are Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Geometry. I teach part-time and I am very excited to bring my enthusiasm to one-on-one tutoring. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my two young daughters, exploring the Twin Cities, playing board games, and going for lots of walks.

I'm excited to share my passion of math and design with others. I enjoy applying concepts learned in the classroom to real-life situations. It's not just about learning what we are supposed to learn, but rather understanding why it is important and what we can do with it.

As a tutor, I strive to put scaffolding in place so that students can succeed on their own. That means my approach adapts to a student's individual strengths, interests, and goals. I have a deep respect for the process of learning. In my experiences as a learner and a teacher, I have seen how small strategies make a big difference, and I am excited to work with you to achieve something big, piece by piece.

...at Washington University in St. Louis, majoring in statistics and art history. Right now, I'm pursuing opportunities in research as part of my gap year as I apply to medical school. I've had previous experience tutoring students in a variety of subjects, from ACT prep, math, biology, and Latin. I can't wait to start tutoring students again, and to find a way that will ensure they get a more concrete understanding of the material in...

Having tutored for over two years, I take pride in my ability to meet students where they are in their understanding and present material in ways that are tailored to each student. I'm an extremely patient and determined tutor and my number one objective is the success of the student. I specialize in organic chemistry and calculus and look forward to meeting you!

...and where they can find it in the passage. It seems simple, but I have found it very effective! I have perfect ACT English and Reading scores, and I know the grammar rules the ACT tests offhand. The key to the English test is knowing the rules. Most students, as native English speakers, know grammar rules intuitively. This is great for writing, but not as helpful on the ACT, where questions are often written purposely...

I am a current Ph.D. student at the University of Minnesota studying social psychology. I received a B.A. in Psychology and Mathematics/Statistics from Luther College in 2016, as well as completing a minor in environmental studies.

...with emotional and behavioral disorders and as an administrative assistant at a mental health clinic.

I am always interested in developing new approaches to tutoring depending on the needs of students. I enjoy learning, and I am especially excited to help...

...for around 15 years now. I love the language and culture of France and other francophone countries and am so excited to share that with you. I have experience teaching through running multiple cheerleading teams of young athletes. Also, I began a french program at a local elementary school in my hometown where I taught after school french. I have taken many different types of french classes in elementary, middle, high school, and college both...

I believe a fundamental understanding of math and science allows students to properly analyze any situation and learn how to obtain solutions. I will work with all my passion and energy to impart fundamental understanding in order to enable students to think critically and solve problems in unique ways.

Hi, I'm Nick. Currently I am a Masters of Microbiology student at the University of Minnesota. I have a BA from the College of Saint Scholastica and have been a tutor for a year now. I enjoy teaching a lot and am also doing research. My research at the U of M is focused on green fluorescent protein infection studies with large, vacuolated sulfur bacteria.

...Prior to teaching elementary school, I taught and tutored ESL, French, and writing to college-aged students. I particularly enjoy teaching French and math. In my free time I enjoy spending time outside hiking, camping, backpacking, or jogging. I also like to play the banjo and guitar. I believe the best teaching and learning happens when the content is made relevant and personal to the student. It is my goal to help you reach your goals.

...rubs off on the students I work with so that they might become lifelong learners themselves. I would describe my teaching style as "supportive independence" since I believe strongly that students will struggle to learn if they don't feel supported but will never become self-sufficient learners without a teacher guiding them to independence. I typically start a tutoring relationship by building a layer of trust, communication, and support and then gradually move towards independence as...

...my specialty when it comes to teaching or tutoring, but I have also been trained in techniques for tutoring all subjects included in standardized tests, especially the SAT. My tutoring style comes from my firm belief that a student will grow when they genuinely have their interest piqued, and the best way to do that is for their instructor to genuinely show passion and interest in the subject in order to pass that excitement on...

...well for visual learners, it helps ensure they have an understanding of the concepts and not just the questions in the book. While teaching test prep, I have also had students work to recognize their strong and weak areas. Depending on the situation, there are times when students should know their limits and focus mainly on what they know best in order to get their best scores. I am excited about working for Varsity Tutors...

As a former high school and middle school Science and Math teacher at a private school in California, I believe that every student deserves personalized learning.
