Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Chapel Hill, NC

...formation, cosmology, dark matter, and stellar evolution. I am also passionate about education in the quantitative disciplines. Currently, I am pivoting from academia to industry and building my repertoire for data science. I am also a graduate from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, with a Bachelor's in Science for both Physics and Astrophysics, and a minor in statistics. I'm a big tennis fan, enjoy all types of conversations, and am passionately curious about...

...in addition to research I gained an appreciation of nature. I lived near a waterfall and I have hiked several mountains in the Adirondacks! In undergrad, I studied physics at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. I fell in love with the city and physics and math during my 4 years there. I graduated high school from the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science which is a residential public high school in Mississippi and...

...they often think, "I'll never use this in real life." But this perspective overlooks something crucial. It misses the fact that the act of learning how to do math and the process of learning these subjects establishes a new kind of brain wiring - a problem-solving and critical thinking kind of brain wiring. So, it is not just about the specific content; it is about the methods, tactics, and tools developed to tackle those problems....

While simply getting through the next test is fine for the short term; properly learning Fundamentals and underlying ideas will both help current struggles and facilitate nurturing self teaching in the long run. My aim as a tutor is to help you learn how to learn; and then learn how to teach yourself.

I am a PhD student in Civil Engineering and have more than 7 years of teaching experience.... My philosophy of teaching evolved from many years of teaching experience. As I reflect on my beliefs regarding teaching and learning, I find that my mission as a teacher is threefold: to promote positive learning; to spark learner enthusiasm for learning; and to provide a strong foundation for lifelong learning.... I will try to find out his/her understanding of...

...in my spare time I do a lot of reading covering a variety of topics. Everything from science journals and psychology to world literature and foreign language. I also travel from time to time. I love exploring new cultures and the opportunity of seeing the world from a different point of view. Then if I'm not doing one of those two things, you'll most likely find me cooking in my kitchen or working in my...

...to teaching, I love tutoring/teaching. Ever since I was in high school I would tutor all of my friends in all of the subjects they were struggling with. As it turned out, I am good at tutoring so I kept doing it to help my friends; I came to the conclusion that I am good at it because all the people I have tutored have said so but mostly because I compared how they would...

...and college. My favorite subject to tutor is math, whether that be helping a second grader with their multiplication tables or a college student with differential calculus. I also have a passion for science and have experience tutoring in physics and chemistry. I was highly successful in the math components of exams such as the ACT, SAT, and AP tests. In my free time, I love to row, dance, and make friends!

Let's be patient, persistent, pause, and perform better and better. I've been happy to help dozens of students with math and physics, and am immediately prepared to help you with arithmetic, algebra, basic geometry, trigonometry, introductory calculus and introductory university physics. I'll be reviewing and adding subjects that I can immediately aid. Good luck.

I started teaching students as an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina Asheville where as a junior and senior I tutored freshman and sophomores in general and organic chemistry. Seeing the lights of understanding in my students eyes was what hooked me. Teaching community college helped refine...

...my youthful energy to connect with students and share relevant stories or reference some of the things in their lives to help them more easily make connections to more difficult concepts. I am patient enough to let students find their own way to the answers and feel good about the process. My goal is to develop students' skills and self reliance so that I become unnecessary. I have worked in tutoring centers working with students...

...and I believe all students can too! I am a Georgia Tech Chemical Engineering alumna committed to helping students master and enjoy STEM. Having tutored everything from elementary school fractions to college fluid dynamics, I've learned that most challenging problems become manageable when approached step by step. I enjoy learning about students' thought processes and tailoring my teaching to their unique perspectives. My goal is to help students build confidence, understand the material, and develop...

...with science and math. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a focus on Biological and Evolutionary Sciences, and I continue to enjoy expanding my expertise across disciplines. I tutor biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and math through calculus, as well as test prep for the SAT, MCAT, GRE, LSAT, and GMAT. I tutor a lot of different topics because I really don't have a favoriteI love how each subject offers its own unique...

I am a successful scientist looking to help equip and prepare the scientists of tomorrow. I enjoy helping students learn and excel in scientific subjects.

...student at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. I have been working with Varsity Tutors for 7 years, and my students have demonstrated improvement in test scores and class grades across subjects. I attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon, where I studied English, and wrote a thesis on female archetypes in Victorian literature. Additionally, I worked in the Reed College admissions office during my undergraduate studies, so I have a strong understanding of what colleges...

I have been tutoring for 5 years, and I enjoy seeing students make progress in their studies. I'm very patient and I make math fun. I know I'm doing my job when a student reaches his or her "aha" moment. I have tutored a variety of subjects, mainly math and science, though I have also tutored students in Reading.... I like to get to know my students. I want to know hobbies and interest. I want...

...Gannon University, I moved to Richmond, VA to get my PhD in Chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University. At VCU, I took several graduate level chemistry courses that have sharpened my expertise, as well as engaging in graduate level research for the past five years, specializing in physical chemistry, and publishing two first-author papers in ACS Langmuir. In addition, I worked as a TA at VCU for all five of my years there, teaching students in...

...a position as design engineer from a small steel-and-refractory fabricator, building lumber kilns for the timber industry. I feel very fortunate to have had this rewarding niche market occupation that put my engineering education to work and provided me with an exciting and varied hands-on real-world experience. Looking back, it seems to me that knowing how math is applied might fill a gap for those learning these ropes for the first time. My only practice...

I love when the information clicks with a student and they finally understand a concept.

...present word. I started by tutoring my own children in high school and helped my daughter graduate with a BS in chemical engineering at North Carolina State University and my son as an electrical engineer from the same college. Organic chemistry bogs down students if they are behind in some basic principles such as understanding the periodic table and why the elements are arranged in specific patterns, i.e. periods and groups. They must be very...
