Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Seattle, WA

...law school in the near future, but I have always enjoyed teaching. I started tutoring during my junior year of high school, finding that I had an aptitude for analogies that helped students learn the material. I tutor a large variety of subjects, including LSAT, SAT, and ACT. I also tutor various academic subjects, primarily in the fields of math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, followed closely by Physics. I feel...

...have also tutored peers in mathematics (typically Calculus 1-3) as well as general and organic chemistry. My experience in both high school and college includes formal and informal tutoring. Much of the aforementioned experience pertains to one-on-one or small-group tutoring. In addition to enjoying tutoring, I also enjoy seeing my students succeed. In middle school, I struggled to find motivation in the field of mathematics, as many of my teachers didn't spend enough time supporting...

...I valued and enjoyed teaching. The opportunity to help another student with their own learning journey was a very positive experience, and it ignited an interest in tutoring again. At the moment, I am most prepared to tutor for ACT and SAT preparation in all subject areas. My personal favorite areas are the English, reading, and writing portions of these tests. In addition, I am prepared to tutor college students in ecology, which was a...

...pedagogy journal clubs and conferences. While I don't have any formal training in marine biology, I've picked up a lot of information during my time at the aquarium and love to discuss it. (Be careful, if you ask about octopuses, it may be hard to get me to stop!) Outside of biology, I likes to make things. My hobbies include crochet, dressmaking, and chocolatiering, though I have my eye on taking up welding as well....

Hello! My name is Kate, and I have 10 years of experience as a tutor and as an informal educator. I love connecting with students and helping them grow.

...student, I discovered that mathematics can never be understood without a pen and a pencil in hands. Math is not a reading subject where you can think and reason and discuss about your opinion. It is rather an absolute science where anyone agree to one and single outcome. Moreover, as I always tell my students, you can never finish better yourself through practice because practice makes perfect. Even the most intelligent student practices before any...

...love to help students connect the dots, enabling them to master the material and themselves as they improve their study skills and self-confidence. I have worked with students of all ages in a variety of subjects and settings, from all backgrounds in this country and others. I have found, consistently, that the best way to connect is to be genuine and sincere with enthusiasm for the material and compassionate consideration for the learner. It is...

...and teaching experience has provided a strong background in mathematics, statistics, economics, ecology and environmental sciences. I have taught mathematics and statistics courses for over 30 years to students in a variety of life sciences curricula . Teaching (more importantly, educating!) is my passion. I believe that teaching statistics and math should result in real-world, useful applications of the material. I use a socratic method of questions/answers to encourage critical thinking and problem solving skills....

...and ACT test preparation for two years. As such, I am more than capable of teaching any and all sections of the SAT or ACT and any related academic subjects (math until precalculus, English grammar, composition and writing). My favorite subject to tutor is chemistry! It allows me to explain how a lot of things work, and I enjoy relating the behavior of atoms and molecules to the characteristics of everyday things. Science is best...

...be returning to the UW to pursue a PharmD degree in 2013. I have been tutoring for six years, both informally and through organizations such as UW and Bellevue College. I like teaching and continue to tutor because I enjoy helping students improve. I believe anyone can learn math and science. I work with my students to help them understand not only how to solve problems, but also the fundamental concepts behind them.

...takes to succeed in school, its just a matter of finding the style of learning that is most effective for them. What works or makes sense for one student will not necessarily work for the next student, and so it is essential as a tutor to be able to explain the same concept in a variety of different ways and to be able to determine when a student has fully grasped the concept. In my...

...and individually tutoring students that had to be temporarily separated from the rest of the population. Throughout, I have maintained a steady and patient demeanor that puts students at ease. Fostering an environment for learning involves allowing students to experiment with new knowledge and understand its limits. Incorrect answers are just as important as correct ones, in their own ways. I provide students with a safe atmosphere to discover both. I like working with middle...

...full ride(tuition, room, and board) to Emory University where I studied Physics and Applied Mathematics. I also have extensive experience working in tutoring. One of my most enjoyable moments in undergrad was working as a Research Assistant at Semyung University in optimizing the instruction of curricula for incoming college freshmen. I believe in a problem based approach rather than a lecture based one. Most deficiencies in scores are caused by gaps in the student's knowledge....

...in verbal exams, critical reading, and writing at an advanced level. I spend my free time playing soccer, volunteering at the Downtown Emergency Service Center (DESC) homeless shelter, playing the piano, hanging with friends and much more. I love working with people from all walks of life and have also spent time tutoring a diverse range of people at Seattle Education Access in the past. I look forward to meeting you and look forward to...

...many ages. I spent two years during my undergraduate working for the Si Se Puede Learning Center where I tutored K-5 students in an underprivileged demographic and conducted fun and interactive lesson plans in math, literacy, science, and writing. I have also tutored middle school and high school students in several math and science disciplines through the National Society of High School Scholars. I earned a dual bachelor's degree in ecology and contemporary dance performance,...

...tutoring during my gap year between high school and college when I helped build a local tutoring service with a friend. Even though that tutoring service is no longer operational, I continued to tutor students throughout my time at Columbia. As a tutor, I understand that each student is unique. Instead of doing to same routine, I like to develop a tutoring strategy that caters to each students' strengths and learning styles. I like to...

...the past. I have a B.S. in Cell Biology from Western Washington University and an M.S. in Physiology from the University of Cincinnati. I am most passionate about subjects that can be applied to human medicine, including Anatomy, Physiology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Pharmacology and Microbiology. I believe that rote memorization is ineffective. It is better to seek to truly understand the fundamental principles of a topic and then use that information to reason out...

...people tend to be much smarter than they think they are. Often all it takes is somebody to point out the similarity between that difficult subject you're struggling with and a concept that you already know and are strong in to click on that lightbulb of comprehension. My life's passion is to do just this: to make STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields more accessible to more people, especially those who don't think they're...

...Always be seeking, improving, and wondering. I have taught middle school for 17 years and try to pass on my love of learning to each and everyone of my students. I believe all students can be successful learners, although they may learn best in a wide variety of ways. When a student gets it, I get excited. I always do everything I can to make my students experience success. In my spare time I like...

I am currently a training manager for a medical scribe company where I frequently assess learning styles and seek to individualize training processes. I aim to act as your liaison through the delicate and sometimes difficult process of learning. I enjoy sharing creative ways of grasping interest and gaining success in educational topics, and will work with you to individualize your learning experience. I am...
