Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors serving Washington DC

...these concepts by relating them to every-day experiences. I've found that when students can understand these concepts through real life examples and applications, they become much easier to understand. Science can be hard, there are a lot of details that can make students (and myself!) feel overwhelmed. However, there are fundamental principles that are at the core of each field in STEM. My mission is to instill these fundamental principles in my students, so that...

My name is Autumn and I adore chemistry. I've been a general chemistry (Highschool and Intro to College Chemistry) tutor for over five years, and I practically live and breathe general chemistry. I'm completing my Bachelor of Sciences in Chemistry and my Bachelor of Arts in Gender, Women's and Sexuality Studies in May 2021 before I go onto grad school to pursue my PhD in Chemistry. I use they/them pronouns.

Hi ! I enjoy helping people learn statistics, probability, and coding in python and R. I think these subjects are often taught by teachers who don't have empathy for their students who might struggle with the material. I will work with you to take on the material, and will help you take it on in small chunks, making sure you understand and feel confident each step of the way. I'm excited to work with you!

...mentorship and guidance to first-years throughout the entirety of their inaugural semesters in college and beyond. As a Fellow, I worked in intensive, monthlong programs to tutor, mentor, and prepare incoming freshmen for a collegiate education in STEM fields, though I continued to serve outside of this role during the academic year as well. In addition, I spent about two years teaching Anatomy and Physiology at the collegiate level. Where did you get your education?...

...I had used more when I was an undergraduate in chemistry! I have tutored both high school and collegiate chemistry for five years and I greatly enjoy getting to know a student and seeing them evolve. Additionally, I was an adjunct chemistry laboratory professor for Trinity Washington University in D.C My teaching philosophy is to be positive, supportive, and enthusiastic for my student. I emphasize teaching chemistry concepts and how to apply them when approaching...

...took the MCAT in mid July 2015. As someone who struggled with math and science in high school, but excelled in these same areas with the application of organization and effort, I feel confident in my ability to guide other students through a similar process. In terms of teaching experience, I taught ESL at a high school in Thailand, I co-taught Environmental Education to middle school students in Cameroon (in French), and I also tutored...

...and Chemistry (Universite Paul Sabatier - Toulouse France and University of Houston - Houston TX). Fluent in English, French, and Spanish. Literate in Dutch and German. Having life and school experience in Latin America, Caribbean, Europe, and the United States has allowed me to emphasize the importance of a solid foundation and a positive experience to allow me to be the person I have always hoped to be.

I qualified all my Steps and look forward to guiding others to do the same. Working for Kaplan for 2yrs I enjoyed all aspects of my work and had the opportunity to work with multiple students facing different issues. From teaching classes with multiple students to one-on-one tutoring and also academic advising/creating...

...success. As for my own career goals, the current plan is applying to MD/PhD programs and PhD programs in the next two years for neurology or neuroscience. I currently work as a researcher at Kennedy Krieger Institute studying the molecular etiology and mechanisms of enterovirus-D68- mediate acute flaccid myelitis (AFM). My master's thesis was on ubiquitination and protein insolubility in model olfactory epithelial cells from patients with schizophrenia which correlates with poorer cognitive performance -...

...with two bachelor degrees in Neuroscience and Math, along with a minor in Chemistry. I am extremely passionate about science research and worked as a bioinformatician/data analyst at UVA's Center for Brain, Immunology, and Glia. During my four years, I have successfully applied for 3 research grants and 1 scholarship independently. I have published 1 paper in Nature and recently submitted another. I hope to become a medical scientist (MD/PhD) involved in translational medicine, so...

...about helping others learn chemistry. I have taught a variety of chemistry courses as a teaching assistant and as a tutor. These courses include general chemistry laboratory, organic chemistry laboratory, physical chemistry, AP chemistry, and high school chemistry. I strongly believe that chemistry is a subject anyone can learn. It does not have to be a scary course! I care about my students and I strive to do everything I can to help them.

...to know the formulas but to understand the concepts in depth so that the student can formulate the it all by themselves. It will be so deeply engrosses in you minds that you will never have to memorize it. I make the students deal practically with the subject through various models and live examples so it becomes fun and easy to understand. There is Physics and Math all around us. Let me show you and...

...I have experience as a tutoring fellow for the physics department at my university. In my spare time, I love to do a variety of activities including golf, mountain biking, reading, and hiking. I also consider myself an amateur card player and I have a deep appreciation for anything that involves problem solving. I look forward to using the knowledge that I have acquired to help others obtain a better understanding of physics.

...(both Masters and Bachelors). My passions are in engineering design and rapid prototyping (3D printing, etc.). I was a teaching assistant many times while at Cornell in Mechanical Engineering classes. I also have some experience tutoring math to middle school students. My strengths are STEM subjects as well as an empathetic and understanding teaching approach. I believe it's important to help students understand real world applications so they gain a deeper understanding of a topic.

...fundamental Science courses, both at high-school and college levels. I taught onsite, online, and blended courses, and got very good student evaluation.

...of understanding. Right now, I am working on continuing education for tutoring and attaining tutor certifications from the National Tutoring Association. I hope to gain the Master Level Tutor certification. My subjects focus on the sciences, particularly biological and chemical sciences. However, as I believe in making well-rounded students, I also tutor in English and origami. I find organic chemistry and laboratory reports to be an intersection between art, science, and writing, so they are...

...even better. If you are somebody who prefers in-person lessons, I am still very happy to do that as well. Do you learn a specific way? No problem! My background in nursing and psychology has prepared me to work with many different learning styles. Aside from tutoring, I am a Registered Nurse and work at the NIH as a Clinical Informaticist.
