Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors serving Sacramento, CA

I am a future medical student and recent engineering graduate, and I look forward to working with students in math and science.... During a first session, I would talk with the student about their academic goals, and also discuss learning strategies that have worked well for them in the past.... I like to focus on big picture objectives. I believe it is more important to understand the foundations of a process and the overarching idea, rather...

...years, I have gotten nearly a 4.0 in my classes. I had to teach myself to be a good student because it wasn't always easy for me. The lessons I learned and experiences I've had helped me how to relate to someone that is struggling in school. I have tutored various subjects from high school math, calculus, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and psychology. The most success I've had with my students is to create as relax...

...between being a tutor and having worked in childcare. I love both learning and teaching so I am very excited for these tutoring opportunities! My philosophy has a lot to do with bringing the subject matter to life for the student and making sure they gain enthusiasm and confidence with the subject as they learn and work through the material. The specific needs for every student of course change because every one has unique learning...

...leave the battle in victory, not resignation. I've been speaking French since I was old enough to read and I have a Russian heritage that can help out with colloquialisms and grammar. Languages and linguistics are fascinating to me and I don't get to speak mine enough, so please speak them with me! My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing amount of math (through advanced calculus). Yet,...

...tactics and strategies to achieve high scores. I am particularly good at tutoring students for standardized exams such as the SHSAT, ISEE, SSAT, SAT, ASVAB, GRE, and so forth. I've also provided consultation for students applying for schools and have helped students with their college essays and interview prepration as well.

Aside from being an avid scholar, I am a world traveler and enjoy trying new things! I also love to run, draw, read, and cook, either with friends or simply by myself. I stay in shape both mentally and physically: I am constantly training to be my best. Whenever the opportunity arises to help elevate someone, I take it. Helping a student reach their goals is equally as rewarding for my student and myself.

...advanced microscopy techniques to visualize them. As an undergraduate, I was the recipient of a Teaching Excellence award for a Teaching Assistant position I held for a Microbiology Lab, which was an expected but great honor for me to receive. I have held two very different chemistry based jobs (one that I am currently in now) since graduation in which I test drinking water and foods for a vast array of microbial agents and chemical...

...believe learning should be fun and that everyone can learn, we just need to work together to find out what works for you. Learning is not just observation, it is also participation. By engaging students in interactive discussions, I encourage curiosity and intellectual exploration. I help students learn how to think not what to think. By learning to think critically, students are able to maximize their potential to excel in math and science and do...

...and will be returning to the UW to pursue a PharmD degree in 2013. I have been tutoring for six years, both informally and through organizations such as UW and Bellevue College. I like teaching and continue to tutor because I enjoy helping students improve. I believe anyone can learn math and science. I work with my students to help them understand not only how to solve problems, but also the fundamental concepts behind them.

...years teaching experience, serving as a private tutor, teaching assistance and small group instructor. I have taught students from elementary to graduate levels, helping them to excel in mathematics, science and standardized tests. Having taken many standardized test myself and taught at all levels I am able to not only assist with subject matter but also test taking strategies. Like any good tutor I take pride in the achievements of my student and want them...

...ingrain the course material. I was attentive to each student’s unique learning style and speed. In order for them to focus beyond rote memorization, I encouraged students to ask each other questions and apply the concepts to real-word scenarios. In addition, working as an advisor at my university's Career Center during my final semester exposed me to a variety of students with diverse cultural, social, and academic backgrounds. I was enthusiastic to not only discuss...

...for chemistry, where I taught undergraduate courses for over ten semesters. I am experienced in working both in large lecture-style environments and reviews, as well as one-on-one problem solving with students. My background is in chemistry, but I can also tutor subjects up to first and second year college math and physical sciences. I try to incorporate strategies that would use the existing strengths and skills of the student when dealing with difficult problems, and...

...college entrance examinations--such as the SAT and ACT. My personal strengths include the ability to work productively in a fast-paced work environment, along with numerous experiences in tutoring, lesson/report preparation, and data analysis. Past positions in biomedical research and administration have also necessitated excellent verbal and oral communication skills, specifically within team settings. In addition, because I have interacted with many types of students for the past several years through tutoring/mentorship, my teaching styles are...

...absolutely love teaching mathematics, chemistry and physics. But unfortunately, these are subjects that a lot of students have real difficulty in. I've discovered that I have a knack for explaining difficult mathematical/physical science concepts, so that virtually anyone can understand the material at hand. Real world examples in conjunction with visual aides seem to make my students' understanding soar. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy playing golf- Just don't ask me to tutor you in...

I returned several times and witnessed the power of education in transforming impoverished communities. At North Carolina State University, I taught children how to eat healthy on a fixed income through Cooking Matters. I am currently teaching CPR and First Aid with...

...the pitfalls that creep up on exams. My tutoring style deconstructs concepts in a way that students can personally relate to, and by using visual analogies, I demystify the math between the atoms while not reinforcing memorization like many instructors. Because of my success, my students often told me that I should be the teacher. So I decided to do just that and am now on the fast track to become a high school Chemistry...
