Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors serving Virginia

...tutoring by learning about a student overall; yes, this includes all academic aspects, yet knowing who they are outside of that arena provides the foundation for considerate ways to integrate who they are into lessons. Building a strong context regarding the ways in which they, as an individual learn best be it obvious or not, furthers my ability to lead them to success by fostering them as a unique individual. I feel it is incredibly...

I am committed to helping you understand and master your content.

...to learn the subject matter. I am extremely passionate about learning and experiencing as many new things as possible in life. I am available to tutor a wide variety of subjects but am most passionate about science subjects and organizational/study skills. In my experience the most important part of tutoring is finding a strategy that works best for each individual. I am a firm believer that after taking the time to find a plan that...

...to make. While not everything can be taught purely in this fashion, I try to make my lessons focus on principles and processes, creating a deeper understanding of the facts presented in class or in the textbook. I find that this technique works very well with math and physics, where understanding the theory is often the key to being able to see a problem and find the right path to a solution. I also try...

I am a recent Yale graduate with a B.S in chemical engineering. I have over 5 years of experience tutoring a wide range of subjects, and I am very passionate about math and science. My favorite part of tutoring is instilling confidence into students and making them feel that they can understand and enjoy a subject.... Everyone learns differently, but everyone can learn anything.

...worked with students of all ages from elementary school to college students in a variety of subjects including standardized test prep like the ACT/SAT/PSAT, college level chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and biology. I also have experience with high school at the AP level in Calculus, Biology, and Chemistry. I graduated with a B.S. in Biochemistry and now work at MIT in the biology department with a focus in genomics. I really love teaching all types...

...school science class. During college, I spent six months as a GED tutor, working with adults. Later, I spent two years as an Organic Chemistry Laboratory teaching assistant. I am a friendly and outgoing person, and I really enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. I particularly like working with middle school and high school students, as I can challenge them and help them build strong foundations during some of their most important academic...

'Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean. Ryunosuke Satoro. Im passionate about Ocean Conservation, Marine Exploration and protecting the environment. I've worked hard to become a better teacher and mentor. I recently completed my Masters degree at Utah State University as an Environmental Engineer. I love working with students and get them interested in science and maths, especially chemistry! ... Make it fun, relevant, and interactive. Find common ground.... Find out about the...

...chemistry because it provides the foundation for thinking about chemical reactions between molecules; the knowledge of which all later chemistry subjects rely upon. In my experience teaching and tutoring, a mixture of conceptual discussions and problem solving has been most effective for helping struggling students. In addition, I have found that relating chemistry concepts and problems to topics that are familiar in our everyday lives is a great way to make sessions fun and interesting....

...work as a Laboratory Technician at Rice University. I recently applied to medical school for the Fall of 2013, but for the next year, I'd really like to start tutoring again! Why do I love tutoring? Because I've always enjoyed mentoring a student and sharing in his/her successes. While enrolled in high school and throughout the Summer after my first year of college, I mainly focused on tutoring for the SAT and ACT. I have...

...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 to succeed. I look forward to working with.

...in Mechanical Engineering from Stony Brook University. I'm able to tutor physics, math, chemistry, and biology from grades 7-12 and the collegiate level. For those looking to get straight A's throughout the semester or ace the regents, let's start the year off on the right foot. My teaching methods are excellent, and unlike most tutors, I bring fun and excitement to the subject, because we all know how boring the physical and biological sciences can...

...very intent on streamlining studying skills. I can definitely teach subject matter in the short term, but I'm also looking to teach people how to learn effectively in the long run. My sessions involve a lot of "think about this idea in this way, so that you'll be able to apply the same reasoning when you look at this new thing." I am a firm believer in the old "teach a man to fish..." mentality...

...learning a foreign language: listening and reading is much easier than speaking and writing. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of believing that if you come to class and understand what the instructor is saying, you don't need to practice the material. Accordingly, I emphasize the need to practice "speaking" the language on a regular basis and to receive immediate feedback on one's learning. In my free time I enjoy woodworking...

...level coursework at the University of California, Davis in Civil and Environmental Engineering. I have had a variety of tutoring experiences over the course of my studies, ranging from one-on-one tutoring sessions, to group settings through a classroom internship. I am passionate about a lot of subjects including mathematics, physics, and chemistry. I also love literature and writing and can confidently help students practice critical reading and writing skills. In my spare time I enjoy...

...only discuss their academic goals, but also get to know the students on a more personal level. By connecting with them both intellectually and personally, I could attain a better picture of how and why they were making particular career decisions and understand them through a more holistic lens. I feel confident helping students in math and different subjects in science, such as Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Physiology, and Psychology. This can be introductory material to...

...helping them maximize on their strengths. I tutor a wide range of subjects but the sciences are my personal specialty. I am fascinated with the building blocks of matter and love learning and teaching about them. If you need help with biology, chemistry, physics, organic chemistry, physiology, or microbiology, I can be especially helpful. What about standardized tests? Taking the ACT, SAT, or AP tests soon? Yep, I can help with those as well. I...

I like to be creative and adapt to the learning style of a student. My goal is to make learning fun and never feel like a chore.... Adapt to what kind of learning the student best responds to; that way learning is fun and easy going, and never frustrating.... Get to know each other a bit, in order to know how to approach each topic the best way possible.... I think making different suggestions on how...

...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 compounds that are dangerous to the public. Using my experience in both academics, research and in my career, I have been able to...

...as SAT math, English, and science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Biochemistry). I really enjoy tutoring math and English! Math always has an answer to work towards and can be taught using various mediums. English is also a favorite subject of mine as I love to read and write and love reading the works of others. I like to tutor subjects by working through problems with students and practicing problems. Outside of academics, I enjoy hiking...
