Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors serving Virginia Beach, VA

...opportunity to study and complete Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Statistics, and Anatomy&Physiology classes. During that time I provided tutoring sessions locally in Harrisonburg as well as overseas during the summer. I try to make learning these subjects as low stress as possible by implementing the learning strategies recognized in literature (some books include 'Make It Stick', 'Ultralearning', & 'Peak'). The truth is that we all can learn more effectively and with fewer issues by using these...

...chemistry since 2011. I am a graduate of Old Dominion University where I obtained my Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree in Chemistry with a concentration in Analytical Chemistry. I work during the day as a chemistry lab manager for the Department of the Navy. While I can tutor a range of subjects, I feel that I would be of most use in the areas of Chemistry and Math. I believe that...

...of his or her studies. From my experience, once a student can understand why the subject matter is important and see how it relates to other topics, other courses, and, importantly, to real world situations, the material tends to become more concrete and easier to learn. So, my style of tutoring allows me to cater to someone who may be looking to pass their final science or math class as well as to someone who...

...opinions arising from scientific reasoning. I encourage my students to think critically, not simply to accept my ideas and opinions. My drive to pursue higher education was due in part to various teachers who inspired me. I would like to be a promoter for others to follow their dreams. My continued desire is to be more dedicated, motivated, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and approachable with an ardent attitude towards helping students. I will ensure that my students...

I heard someone say that everyone starts out liking math. But they meet that one math teacher or class or even a problem that intimidates them, possibly embarrasses them. And they build a wall and find it hard to continue liking math. I want to show them an easier way to understand the concepts; I want people to like math.

...in the Minority Association of Pre-Health Students and the Caribbean Student Association. I also tutored undergraduate level courses to ranging from English to Calculus in our Student Support Services. Off campus, I worked with middle school and high school adolescents in the Advancement Via Individual Determination program. I enjoy helping students cultivate the desire to learn and understand the material. My primary goal is to assist in the the question development process and build students'...

I am a professional chemist. I have been researching materials chemistry for 4 years with specific interest in plastics. I have taught chemistry for two 2 years and performed well enough to be assigned the more difficult, upper-level labs.

...studied on my own with the hope of finding and committing to a research topic I would want to go back to school for. Meanwhile, I've tutored family and friends in geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, and statics. I am most passionate about Physics, Neuroscience, and Mathematics. Providing a thorough, intellectually honest, and enjoyable tutoring experience is something I take very seriously and will be priorities of mine during each tutoring session. In my spare time, I...

I love explaining things to people - and I've been doing it for about 25 years. I want you to finish a session feeling like: "Wow, that guy really helped me! (plus - what a sense of humor!)

...strategies to meet students' unique needs, as well as make the content relevant to their lives. It is my desire to create an atmosphere where students can meet their full potential, become independent learners and can share their ideas and take risks. I believe that the teacher's role is to act as a guide giving students access to practice skills, and have choices to let their curiosity direct their learning. The students should be active...

I will make it the ultimate goal of every student I tutor to understand absolutely everything that they have trouble with. I aim to help with critical thinking and inquiry so that the student not only solves the problem, but understands the concepts and where they need to be used.

...in biochemistry. I have a lot of experience with most sciences and I understand that the concepts can be very difficult at times if they are not explained properly. Science is an absolutely incredible field of study and is a critical foundation for several fields of further study like engineering or medicine. It is important to build a strong foundation. I believe I can be a great asset to my tuttees future by helping them...

...overcome those challenges through attainable milestones. I have fostered and tutored three nieces into advanced programs and honor rolls in their schools through my method of engaging their skills with real world applications, and showing them how all of these skills are used in our society in various ways. This provides motivation and purpose and takes the subject from one of "a required knowledge" to one that they see as valuable and worth investing their...

...designed and implemented lesson plans in courses for secondary and collegiate levels, modifying them as needed. Overall, my almost 250 classroom hours in three districts between Windham and Hartford County have primed me to effectively present new and dense information to a variety of audiences. I also have experience educating students who have learning disabilities and require accommodations as a result of IEPs, Section 504s, etc. I would love to teach anyone who is willing...

...have a passion for encouraging others to understand the world through math and science. I think it's vitally important to remove the intimidation factor associated with mathematics in particular. In my current position as a network administrator I spend a lot of my time explaining complex systems and applications so that all users have a working understanding. The majority of this work is one-on-one instruction. I look forward to the opportunity to give students that...

...students past their obstacles. There are often useful tips and tricks to help students manage difficult material with greater ease. Above all, I value creating a comfortable environment where even a timid student can feel comfortable taking chances and making mistakes with the material, free of embarrassment, in the name of improving. As I've said to my students, it makes no sense to struggle silently with a hard subject. If you have a question or...

...context- a topic isn't interesting or important 'just because', we have to discover how it's related to our whole world and especially to things the student already knows they care about. Second, getting to know the student- everyone has unique talents, tendencies, and goals. There is an area of overlap between each school subject (even standardized tests, which require critical thinking!) and a student's goals, and it's usually bigger than it first appears. A star...

I particularly like working with middle school and high school students, as I can challenge them and help...
