...tutoring lies in my desire to reveal students' potential and build their confidence in the field of STEM. I am here to show students that they are capable and give them opportunities to utilize unique methods and techniques to approaching problems/concepts that may endure beyond one's schooling years. My tutoring approach consists of utilizing a bottom up approach to engage students by building complex concepts beginning from a fundamental level. I like to use a...

...In addition to teaching concepts or going over problems, I explain why and how one would arrive at a particular answer. I think that this is beneficial because it teaches students how to learn. This is a skill that can applied to any area of study and it helps make the material more understandable. I use a variety of methods to teach including drawings, models, analogies, similar practice problems, and anything else that would help...

...locations and polarities of each electrode. If you expect to memorize everything without conceptualizing, do not seek David as a tutor. But if you want to be one of the students who knows --and enjoys-- the material, because it makes sense, contact David and he will guide you through the beautiful mechanisms that manifest from the molecular to the gross level in physiology, biochemistry, and all of the areas that may be giving you trouble....

...I simply can't see why I should take the time to do so. Calculus tells NASA engineers when to release pieces of the rockets they fire into space to shed weight so that the rocket can make it up into space, it can be used to determine how many gallons of fuel will be needed to fly a plane from destination to destination with precision, and it can tell you how fast a car will...

...Biology. During my studies, I also completed my pre-medical requirements and am currently applying to medical school. I have had the chance to interact and help students as a teaching assistant in a general biology course lab and my education helped me develop learning techniques and time management skills that I look forward to bringing to you. Not all information can be approached in the same manner and I hope to help students find new...

...background in science, I also tutor kids that are struggling with chemistry and physics. Generally, my favorite subject to teach is algebra. Often times this is when kids begin to doubt themselves or first struggle with mathematics, so I think its important to make sure they are really comfortable with the skills they will need. With two years of professional mathematics tutoring experience, I am able to help students get to the very root of...

...teaching is a lot like being a tutor. Beyond subject matter content, teaching is always about the self-esteem of the student. Learning is a lifelong process. Each teaching situation is an opportunity to influence positively how a student sees him or herself as a learner. Learning takes place over the course of a school year, semester, quarter, week, or in a five minute time frame (such as with a substitute teacher). The math problem or...

...the problem is how I like to teach. Using videos and open discussion are also good methods. Often times engagement in both verbal and written activities at the same time are great ways to learn a new subject. I enjoy quantum computing and chemistry, as well as spending my time traveling. I am tutoring for Varsity Tutors in hopes that I can continue to practice my problem solving skills and eventually work while traveling.

...several topics where I believe I can help, including general chemistry, astronomy, and math up through Calculus III and Linear Algebra, I enjoy talking about Calculus and Physical Chemistry the most. I have been involved in academic research since the summer of 2002, so I am comfortable discussing various academic challenges and the methods that can be used to overcome them. Outside of the research lab, I enjoy reading, playing video games, and watching YouTube...

...Neuroscience and Psychology from Washington State University. I am Math/Science teacher, and I tutor. Generally, I tutor inorganic Chemistry, basic math, geometry, algebra, philosophy, psychology, reading comprehension, and study Skills. I have experienced tutoring with students of different ages including college, high school, middle school, and elementary school. Science and Mathematics were my favorite since elementary school, and I used to help my friends with Chemistry, Trigonometry, Calculus, and Physics during college years.

...education and the opportunity to assist others with their education. Additionally, the world we are entering is more demanding of critical thinking skills than ever, so it would be remiss of us not to emphasize intellectual growth. The subject I am most passionate about tutoring is mechanics since this is usually a student's first exposure to synthesizing physical theories with mathematical concepts. Overall, I take a conversational approach to tutoring where I try my best...

...from middle school to undergraduate students. I would be equally happy to tutor younger children. I am a firm believer in the Socratic method of teaching and think that asking guiding, insightful questions is the best way to engender a robust understanding of a given concept in a student. As for me, I am from Portland, Oregon originally. The Pacific Northwest is my home through and through; I am particularly enamored with the boundless outdoor...

...mathematics for students of civil engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering and electronic engineering. The purpose of teaching classes in the area of engineering is because I could use all my knowledge in the area of mathematics by teaching classes such as numerical analysis, vector calculus, advanced calculus, physics and chemistry. Later I was also able to teach statistics classes for administration, international business, and arts majors. I am currently pursuing a degree in software development...

...of their own learning. My strategies of increasing understanding stem from building on what they know and encouraging thinking about where they may get lost. This is to assess my student's progress throughout while also holding them accountable for mastering their subject of study. In this continuously changing world of ours, it is important to understand how to effectively communicate and collaborate with others, use evidence to justify conclusions, and critically think about how to...

In teaching chemistry, I believe in fostering a deep understanding of the fundamental principles through hands-on experimentation and real-world applications.

...including AP Physics B, 1 and 2. Despite the fact that my students come from a Title 1 school and many of them are first generation college students, they consistently beat state and national averages with their AP Physics scores. I have attended five AP Summer Institute programs in Physics and I am an official AP Reader, which means I am one of the teachers who grades the AP Physics exams. Outside of school I...

...math or physics problems, and during my last year of school, I led a tutoring class for general physics with calculus. My friends and the student I tutor have mentioned that I do a good job of explaining topics in different ways than the instructor did in their classes. I also try my best to let students solve problems on their own, only asking leading questions to make sure they are on the right path.
