I am a graduate of Rice University with a Bachelor of Science in Physics, a Bachelors of Arts in Philosophy, and a minor in Neuroscience. My previous tutoring experiences have primarily focused on college level physics, math, and chemistry; AP Calculus, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry; the ACT and SAT college entrance exams; general mathematics at the high school level; and middle school level math and english for state standardized testing. Additionally, I have experience working with students wit...More

I am especially passionate about presenting a new perspective on algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and linear algebra. In my experience, students have always appreciated my patience and flexibility when approaching challenging topics. I also follow sports closely, and in my spare time I enjoy running, watching movies, and playing games with friends.

I am an incoming medical student at Albert Einstein College of Medicine who graduated with honors from Johns Hopkins University. My degree is in Public Health with a Biology concentration, but I also studied two full semesters of General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Physics. During my time at Hopkins, I developed a passion for the sciences and, in turn, grew to enjoy teaching others about their principles. As someone who had to balance a rigorous academic workload with being captain of the ...More

I am dedicated to helping my students achieve their full potential as my own personal goal. When I worked as a tutor at the Burbridge Athletics Academic Center at the University of Utah, where I also earned my Bachelors of Science in Physics, I developed a passion for education, which I intend to continue with now that I have moved to Washington DC. I am able to tutor students in Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science, having developed experience as part of my pursuit of that degree. I also ...More

I am Mrs. Michelle Valenca and I have been teaching for over 20 years. I am a lifelong learner and I enjoy watching others learn and enjoy science! I like to create fun and engaging lessons. I have my Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology and my Master of Arts in Secondary Education both from the University of Rhode Island. I have worked in aquariums, interned with professors, and have been a TA for college lab classes. I have over 10 years of tutoring experience in all subject areas. For scienc...More

I am currently a physics student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Throughout my high school and college career, I have been tutoring people of all ages a variety of different subjects, but I specialize in math and physics. I am a firm believer that one cannot explain a concept to a 5-year-old, then they do not understand it enough. When I teach my students, I try my best to make sure they can achieve this deep level of understanding in whatever subject they are studying. I have tutored pr...More

I am passionate about the subject, they may feel that they can tap into that passion. Second, I like to engage the student personally. Education can sometimes feel transactional or even coercive. I want my student to feel that I am working for their benefit, and because I care about them, not because I'm getting paid.

I am tutoring several Math topics, such as, Algebra, Calculus, Pre-Algebra, Pre-Calculus and also Spanish and English. I must say my favorite topic to tutor is Calculus because it helps you understand and analyze different problems in a very different way.

I'm currently a Masters student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. I also have a Bachelor's degree in Physics from Haverford College.

I have earned an M.A. in Physics and a B.S. in Physics with minors in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. I was a College Physics lab instructor and learning assistant while working on my undergraduate studies, and I was lucky to be able to continue teaching and tutoring during my master's degree. I enjoy helping students make connections between the coursework and their daily lives, as well as finding out how to use their own intuition about the way physics works (and adjusting when intui...More
