...getting the right answer, but understanding why the answer they obtain is the correct one. I find that lecturing is useful to provide explanations for concepts that the student would otherwise have to simply memorize (and not understand), and the working of examples is useful to reinforce the methods and concepts used when solving particular problems. Regardless of how I am working with a student, however, I tend to always introduce a sort of humor...

Quantum Physics Tutoring FAQ
Mastering quantum physics demands quantitative ability, as a great many of its principles are presented in the form of abstract equations students are asked to interpret, manipulate, and solve. However, understanding quantum physics also demands a paradigm shift away from the familiar realm of classical mechanics that students have been exposed to in their previous physics and chemistry classes. Suddenly the typical rules of physics appear not to apply: knowing a particle's velocity entails not being able to know its location, and light behaves in some ways like a particle and in other ways like a wave, so concepts are discussed in terms of probability, not precise knowledge. Add to this the fact that quantum physics takes place on a scale much too small to see with the human eye, making tangible experimentation challenging, and it can be enough to overwhelm even the most mathematically prepared students. Fortunately, Varsity Tutors can help you connect with quantum physics tutoring across the country to guide you through any difficulties you encounter while studying this important, but often unwieldy and unintuitive, subject. Tutors can meet with you at the location of your choice, including face-to-face online.
Independent quantum physics tutors have demonstrated their mastery of the subject through their stellar course grades, and made it through a selective interview process that vets their teaching skills, so each tutor has the knowledge and teaching ability that you need in a personal instructor. How do you decide which one to work with? Qualified educational directors can help you select a tutor whose skill set and background qualifies him or her to help you with your specific concerns. Your tutor can also take into account your academic profile - your strengths and weaknesses, previous experience with quantum physics, preferred learning style, and even your personality - to design a curriculum for your tutoring sessions. Because your tutoring sessions will be one-on-one, you can have your instructor's full attention. He or she can provide feedback on your progress and adjust the pace and content of the lesson as needed to match your progress. You don't need to worry about keeping up with or outpacing a class full of peers, because your quantum physics tutoring proceeds at the pace at which you learn.
Your tutor can also customize your lessons by making use of the teaching strategies that you find particularly effective. They'll proceed with whichever strategy works best, so you can master the material in time for the next step. Your quantum physics tutoring is all about helping you bolster whatever knowledge and skills you need in order to understand this complex material. Soon you will understand the mathematical formulas that help to understand the concepts, and how quantum physics interacts with classical physics, general relativity, and other scientific theories. The applications of the field in electronics, computing, cryptography, medicine, and other disciplines are growing by the day.
From the free particle and step potential, to finite potential and harmonic oscillators, the topics are varied and complex. Wave functions and behaviors are used to define various things. Some of the ideas are abstract, or at the very least represent things you will never actually see, but that help to define the sophisticated phenomena of the universe. Can you learn all of this alone? It's definitely a challenge, and quantum physics professors move along quickly. A quantum physics tutor can slow down the pace and give you a chance to make sense of it all.
Tutors are eager to help you start making sense of the fascinating but strange world of quantum physics. Call today for more information about how personal quantum physics tutoring can help you master the subject, or to begin finding the tutor best suited to helping you.

Recent Quantum Physics Tutoring Session Notes
During this session we reviewed evolutionary biology using the student's textbook and his classroom notes. We first discussed the different theories of evolution such as Lamarck's and Darwin's theories and how these differ from each other. We also reviewed the definitions of some terms commonly used in evolutionary biology such as the definition of a population and of genetic variation. In addition, we talked about the interactions that occur in the environment and how they eventually lead to evolution of species in the long term.
Today the student and I worked on a gel electrophoresis worksheet. It required us to watch a little animation and answer some questions about the animation. The student did very well, although sometimes I would have to remind him to stop and check his answers. He seems to understand the subject matter as we talked about it but has a little trouble explaining the concepts back to me. This is something that we will continue to work on. We spent the last 15 minutes or so doing some of his homework for history. Again, he seems to definitely understand what is being asked of him but makes mistakes when he rushes.
We are preparing for the exams. Today we primarily went over the practice exam that the student took in school. We went over problems that the student answered incorrectly and I instructed him on areas that he struggled in. Today we paid special attention to osmosis and diffusion.
Today's focus was preparing for the student's biology final. Because this subject had the most material required for the final, we went through as much of the PowerPoints as we could. We were able to get through Mendelian genetics, cell division and DNA replication. Hopefully by tomorrow we can get through the evolution topics, as well as the remainder of the DNA/RNA topics and do a full comprehensive review.
Today, the student and I covered Evolution and the Theory of Natural Selection. He completed most of the assignments I told him to finish. What he had left over, I walked through them with him. He is showing some improvement in thought process on some of the critical thinking. I left him with some assignments that he should be familiar with doing.
Today we went over the digestive system and the excretory system. We focused on the structures and functions of the organs involved in those systems. We also covered the enzymes and fluids in the digestive system.
