Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Akron, OH

Hello! My name is Ian Kinnaman. I have been a private tutor for over 5 years and I have a Bachelor's degree in Music Education from Youngstown State University. I have worked with students aged 5-20 and would love to work with you!

...am a current sophomore at Case Western Reserve University majoring in Chemical Biology with minors in Bioethics and Sports Medicine while on the Pre-Med track. In college, I am apart of the Student Ambassador and Leadership Office, Camp Kesem and am Orientation Leader. I have a passion for science and enjoy teaching its wonders to others. In high school, I was also very interested in the social sciences and I like to keep myself up...

...brother, I have been teaching in some forms throughout most of my life. In high school, most of my teaching experience came from annual basketball camps that the varsity team would hold for elementary-age players. In college, I gained plenty of experience on the academic side of teaching, as I was a TA for an introductory computer programming class, a paid peer tutor for physics, and, for three years, the treasurer of a Duke-based high...

...to all of my tutoring sessions. Although I majored in Biology at Duke, I got a minor in Classical Studies - or ancient Greece and Rome - so I have a pretty diverse educational background. In addition to my studies in college, I was DUMB (a proud member of the Duke University Marching Band) and I conducted research on Hawaiian monk seals. In the future, I hope to participate in more field work with marine...

I am a sophomore at Rice University and intending to major in Bioengineering with a minor in Global Health Technologies. I am also planning on going to med school. My favorite subject to teach is math and editing essays is forte of mine as well. I do my very best to help all of my students. ... I'd start off by asking what the student is interested in, in both subject and extracurricular. Then, I'd ask...

...and reflective analysis. Additionally, having just gone through the college admissions process, I am privy to its length and complexity so can lend advice on anything, namely essays. I have plenty of experience writing and have been published in a local newspaper. While I think math is the easiest subject for me to teach, writing and writing skills are my favorite to teach because to see a writers progress is an extraordinary sight and, further,...

...matter. This a great challenge, but I enjoy it. I love to see the look on a person's face when they "get it." I have also found that I too learn new things about the subject that I may not have known before. This is a rewarding experience for me. The subjects I am most passionate about are Chemistry and Biochemistry. I am most comfortable with these subjects, since they were my majors in undergraduate...

...I take education very seriously. My own experiences and achievements allow me to offer useful strategies for preparing, studying, and learning. In addition, I have prior experience with teaching. A former math tutor at Kumon (an after-school enrichment center), I have taught levels of mathematics ranging from basic arithmetic through advanced calculus to students of all ages. It is my belief that knowledge is very much like a tree. Without a trunk and branches, there...

...Science in Middle Level Education with with a focus on Mathematics and Science. Since graduation, I have taught a 5th-8th grade Math online and in person, as well as continued my tutoring for an early intervention consulting program. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most excited about middle level math because it is the most universal mathematics in our world today. I understand how difficult the process of learning can be...

...I will focus my tutoring efforts on these subjects. I can confidently help students in these subjects. I hope that my students will enjoy learning as much as I have and that they become confident and proficient students. While at Ohio State, I was a tutor for the English for Speakers of Other Languages program. Although I tutored these students in English, I still gained valuable experience and skills. I was sure to be...

...am a sophomore majoring in Multidisciplinary Engineering at Purdue University. I have four years of experience tutoring students in Chemistry, Physics, English, and high school mathematics. I love tutoring students in all subjects because I want to give everyone the opportunity to understand complicated concepts. I am a very visual person, so I can adapt written or abstract material into something students can actually see. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy hiking, playing the viola, and...

...first step in being able to apply theory. I have found that there is no good substitute to working through problems and to learn by doing them. Even if you don't get the correct answer the first time, reworking them will deepen that groove of understanding. Then each time the topic comes up a more intuitive understanding can be obtained. In my time away from books I enjoy staying physically active, from boxing classes to...

...and in life. I graduated from BGSU, where I was a member of the Honors College, a campus tour guide, and a tutor. I spent the past year proctoring an Academic Learning Pod in Cleveland, where I worked with students from Kindergarten through tenth grade. I love to help students improve their reading and writing skills, because those are the foundation of all other subjects. Working with youth is my passion and I look forward...

...recognized for my encouragement, enthusiasm, dedication and attention to detail. I strive to individually develop successful learning plans to accomplish goals as rapidly as possible. I am an advocate for Reading, a building block for life and am driven to creatively journey with students to achieve all of their academic goals. I believe through education and skill development students will be successful, motivated individuals. When I'm not exercising my passion of championing for students, I...

...a Teacher Assistant at Cleveland State University, where I got my Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering. I am currently pursuing a Master's in Physics at CSU as well. I am available to tutor all levels of Mathematics and Physics, but Physics is my favorite subject to tutor because I think it is at the core of all sciences. I believe that practice makes perfect so my preferred way to teach is through lots to practice...

...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. In my free time, I enjoy playing ultimate frisbee and basketball, and watching football, basketball, and baseball. I also enjoy reading, playing video games, and watching movies...

Having studied physics in college and worked in biomedical engineering, I am no stranger to technical jargon. But it is that jargon which (for me at least) makes learning more difficult than need be. Therefor, I have made it my goal to increase comprehension by eliminating the "big confusing" words that inevitably arise.

...have a BS Biology degree at The University of Akron. I have tutored college students in the fields of Biology and Chemistry for over a year working for the University, and accumulated over 300 hours of personalized tutoring there. I have been a Learning Assistant for Biology and Anatomy & Physiology as well for a semester. I'm only 22 years old, but have plenty of experience tutoring. I love science, and inspiring people to love...

...Doctorate of Medicine. I have been tutoring for over a decade, teaching at every level of education including K-12, undergraduate, nursing, and medical students. I am an expert in physiology, anatomy, pathophysiology, microbiology, clinical skills, nursing, and anything medical related. My philosophy includes teaching the fundamentals in a simplistic, fun, and useful manner rather than remote memorization so that the student is able to understand and apply the material in the real world on their...

...and loved it! I am currently a post-doctoral research fellow at Chapman University. I love studying biology and have also helped students learn English while living abroad. I have been tutoring and teaching for about seven years, but watching students light up when they are excited to learn something new never gets old to me. I believe every student's learning experience is unique and I tailor how I teach to accomodate this. My favourite strategy...
