I am a process chemist and chemical engineer with over a dozen years working in the chemical industry for companies like ExxonMobil and Shell. I graduated from Caltech with a Bachelor's of Science in Chemical Engineering. While at Caltech, I discovered my love for chemistry, so I decided to shift to chemistry for graduate school. That is why I earned a Ph.D. in chemistry at UC Berkeley: because I think chemistry is fun. While some would consider Caltech and UC Berkeley to be "elite" schools based on their rankings, I am no elitist. I think everyone should have the opportunity to get the best education they possibly can, and tutoring (with me, of course) is an efficient, cost-effective way to help make it happen.I love to teach folks science and math, especially chemistry. I live for the moments when I guide someone through a subject until something "clicks" in their mind. Learning science is learning how to see the world around us with fresh eyes. For example, after studying thermodynamics at Caltech, I started thinking about every day phenomena from an analytical standpoint: things like boiling a pot of water or washing something in soapy water suddenly became much more interesting.I have three semesters of experience as a TA/graduate student instructor: one semester teaching organic chemistry and two teaching the graduate-level X-ray crystallography course. While at ExxonMobil, I led several chemistry-related training courses for technical folks like engineers and other chemists.Sometimes I can get a little animated when I'm interested in the subject matter. Excitement can be contagious, and I find students are a little more engaged when I nerd out about the lesson of the day.

I am a graduate of The United States Institute of Language and Clerical Studies. I received my Bachelor of Doctrines and Methodology of Education with a focus on education. I have a major in Education and I have a minor in Counseling. I also have an Advanced Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (120 Hour Advanced TESOL) from MEU. Since graduation, I have taught well over 400 students of various ages English. Teaching is something that I have been very passionate about ever since I was little. For well over 10 years I have been a volunteer Bible teacher. When I was a teenager, I tutored in-person English, reading, as well as other school subjects in Deposit, NY. After that, I worked for 3 years at a special needs school working one-on-one and in groups with children and teenagers of various abilities helping them with Math, English, Art, and Gym class in Binghamton, NY. All of this training has helped me learn patience, kindness, and fairness. I believe in taking an active interest in my students and treating them as individuals. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, hiking, and exploring new places. I love going on adventures and making new friends.

Hi, my name is Jacob and I am a current PPE (Politics, Philosophy, and Economics) student at George Washington University.As a student myself, I know we each face our own challenges and obstacles throughout our education. As a tutor, I work with each individual student to meet their needs and achieve their goals. I have plenty of skills and knowledge at your disposal, but my most important contribution as your tutor involves encouraging and empowering you to assert control over your own learning process. It's not my job to motivate you, it's my job to remind you how and why you can motivate yourself! Whether you're dealing with tests, everyday classes, AP classes/test, public speaking skills, and more, I would love to work with you!

I have just completed my sophomore year at the University of Michigan majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I have lived in Ann Arbor my entire life, graduating from Pioneer High School in 2018. During my senior year of high school, I was an after school tutor for elementary students and also was a part of the Trailblazers program, mentoring a child over the course of a school year. I am most passionate about Math and Physics, two subjects that are the building blocks of innovation in society. In my free time, I love both watching and playing sports, especially baseball and basketball.

Hello, I am Mrs. Michelle Valenca, and I am passionate about nurturing a love for science in my students. With a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology and a Master of Arts in Secondary Education from the University of Rhode Island, I bring over 20 years of teaching experience to the table. My approach centers on creating fun, engaging lessons that resonate with students of all ages, from struggling readers to adult learners. I specialize in tutoring a range of subjects, including biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics, and have successfully helped students improve their PSAT and SAT scores over the past decade. I find great joy in guiding aspiring teachers through the FTCE and preparing future military personnel for the ASVAB. My goal is to empower each student to achieve their personal best, and I look forward to supporting your academic journey.

I have been tutoring for 7 years in Southern California. In that time, I have tutored hundreds of students, many of whom I have tutored from elementary school all the way through high school. I graduated from Cal State Northridge in 2013 with a degree in Psychology. I mainly tutor Math and English but have years of experience tutoring elementary and high school science and history classes. In my spare time, I like to play hockey and golf, watch sports and movies, and hike with my fiance and dogs. I am a huge Los Angeles Kings and Dodgers fan. I am very passionate about sports and have tutored many student athletes who play hockey, baseball, football, softball, swimming, figure skating, and dance. My tutoring philosophy is to stress the importance of education, while understanding that it comes easy to some and not for others. My goal is to help students understand the material while accommodating their demanding schedules, as I grew up a student athlete and know how difficult it can be.

I just recently graduated from San Diego State University with a bachelor's degree in kinesiology and a minor in chemistry. I am in the process of applying to medical school. I enjoy teaching others what I have learned. In my free time I like to watch sports and spend time with friends and family.

I am a graduate from the Saint Leo University with a Bachelors in Psychology (with double minor in Economics and Sociology) and a Masters in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Education from the Northern Caribbean University. In the past I was a lecturer, and decided to spend my most recent years teaching middle school English Language Arts, and Upper Elementary Education (4th grade). I am a patient, yet meticulous professional with a passion for helping others and take pride in noticing growth in my students. I hope to extend my services to you ,and assist in your journey to mastery of the standards and skills for academic success.

I am an undergraduate at Rice University in Houston pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. I have both formal and informal tutoring experience: I worked as an assistant teacher in my high school's math department in Atlanta teaching geometry, algebra and pre-calculus to students over the summer. As an Academic Fellow at Rice, I provide academic assistance to my peers in the natural sciences, specifically chemistry and biochemistry. Although my studies are focused in STEM, I am a strong writer and I excel in helping students improve grammar and essay organization. Additionally, I have abundant experience in both standardized and AP testing. I am a friendly and empathetic person, and I want to do whatever I can to help other students succeed!

As an educator, I believe in student-centered instruction. I will make sure to learn about your student's interests to help increase engagement and challenge them academically. Learning should be an enjoyable journey; I will seek to ignite a passion for it within your scholars.
