Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors serving Vancouver, WA

...a lot of math classes. Anything from elementary school through undergrad. High school Geometry? Yep! Real Analysis? Absolutely! Python? Not quite math, you tricky person, but sign right up. I tutor a bit of physics and computer programming as well. Test prep, too. But who am I? I am a math music philosophy nerd. I love Gauss almost as much as I love Bach and I love Bach almost as much as I like Hegel....

...are applicable and beneficial to their everyday lives, regardless of where their interests may eventually lead them. I also want to give my students methods for surviving and thriving in today's increasingly fast- paced and technologically advanced world. To do this, they need the critical thinking and analytical skills to discriminate and interpret the information with which they are bombarded everyday from a variety of sources. I want to show them that science is not...

...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 causes of the...

...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 them to learn. Outside...

...live in Camas, Washington, just across the river from Portland. I have been a teaching assistant multiple times, primarily for a college undergraduate Physical Chemistry for Non-Majors class. I have also been the sole instructor for a math review course for a mixed undergraduates and graduate class. When tutoring students, I like to first focus on problem-solving strategies. That is, I like to discuss the best way to look at a question or problem and...

...it has been a source of joy for me personally as it has helped me to solve my own problems and brought me joy when seeing the joy people experience in that moment when they understand something they hadn't before, but I think the solutions to our societies' growing problems will require many great minds, so the first step to solving our societies' problems is to increase the intelligence of our societies and to grow...

...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 ways of learning as well as identify what works best for them. Certain subjects can be extremely daunting and I will work to help you tackle those areas with confidence!

...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 their struggles. My main...

...and rewarding in its own right. You learn best when the problem at hand feels relevant to something you care about. With 6 years as an optical research scientist, I bring real world experience to motivate interest and understanding in my students. I have experience with hands-on lab skills, computer modeling, and data analysis in a research and engineering setting. That is to say I used geometry, calculus, diff-eq's and physics everyday. I am also...

...favorite! I received my Bachelor of Science degree as well as my Single Subject teaching credential in Chemistry and have gained valuable laboratory skills and various research experiences. In addition to my six years of full time classroom teaching experience, I have gained additional experience in successful teaching strategies through the completion of my Masters of Arts in Teaching program. My main goal is to help my students develop critical thinking and problem solving skills....

...accompanying 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.

...in California, and Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia as postdoctoral fellow. During these 2 positions, I managed students and tutored them in their laboratory work. I am flexible in my way of teaching, and I am ready to help the student in the best way to address, assist, and solve any problem with all help needed. I usually spend part of the first session to define and outline which problems the students have. I follow...

...got my BS in 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...

...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 to relate the material...

...after all, we always need more scientists in the world! I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring in both classroom and one-on-one settings, 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,...

...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 because I have always...

...over my career. These include students from many different backgrounds with different skills and challenges. In all cases I strive to find which learning styles work best for each unique student. My favorite high school classes to teach are Geology, Astronomy and Physics. I have taught AP Physics since 2005 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...

...I have taken Math courses up to Vector Calculus and enjoy teaching all mathematics. It does not matter your background or where you are from because math is universal. Numbers are the same everywhere. This helped in my university environment because the diversity of the campus was quite large. I enjoyed this because I got to meet different people. Of course, physics and engineering is always my love. Many of my colleagues got together to...
