Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors serving Phoenix, AZ

...helping a young learner gain confidence and independence in their learning skills and subject matter. My personal philosophy is that any subject can be fun, we just have to figure out how to make it so! My personal style is to use what the learner is interested in to make the subject more fun! Who says you can't use Pokemon to teach math, Minecraft to teach science, or Percy Jackson to teach grammar?

...in their classes. Initially, I found this difficult; it was a challenge determining exactly where a student's understanding of a topic was faulty. Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the same confusion about a topic that my students were feeling...

...can also tutor in writing and reading, since I have experience as a professional copy editor. My focus when tutoring is student understanding. I believe academic goals are more readily achievable when concepts are understood, rather than formulas memorized. When helping students prepare for standardized tests I focus on taking practice exams and working with students on the areas they need the most help. Outside of school I enjoy hiking, gardening, reading, and cooking. I...

...I also take creative and differentiated approaches to the material so that my students can relate to it from their own experiences, and have a broad understanding. In my spare time I love to hike, play Lego-Batman, play board and card games, and argue philosophical subjects or just about what is truly spicy or not with my wife. I also love to play tennis (I used to give lessons), volleyball, basketball, soccer, trumpet, other video...

...is ever finished in life, although there are brief reprieves from tests and homework until finally graduation. School isn't the sole medium by which to inquire about and learn more of the world, but it's the best system we've got. Yet even still, it isn't perfect. People learn in different ways, and sitting in a classroom isn't always going to allow for optimal learning conditions. That's where I come in. By tutoring, myself and others...

...come to me for a single session or we meet every week for a semester, I believe the first step to success with tutoring is to work together to set clear expectations. This lets us work toward the same goal, and makes it simple to set milestones to get there. Any problem area in any subject can be broken into smaller and smaller pieces, until suddenly you realize there was never a problem to begin...

...pets, but high-powered, scientific lab lasers. While studying at ASU, I regularly worked with fellow students on mathematics and physics problems that they found challenging. In high school, I tutored a middle school student weekly in organizational and homework skills, mathematics, and science. Because of my specialty in math and physics, I am most comfortable tutoring those two subjects, ranging from Freshman physics through quantum theory and from algebra through more advanced mathematics subjects such...

...at many levels including elementary and high school. I was also a Teacher's Assistant at the college level. I have worked with many students including special needs children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Oppositional Defiance Disorder and some emotionally disturbed children. I have experience in the medical microbiology lab at the Hawaii Department of Health and a virology research lab at University of Hawaii at Manoa. I love Microbiology and Spanish! I have been studying...

...with a focus on Ecology and Evolution. During my undergraduate career, I was actively involved in biology research on campus. Now, I'm excited to share my love of science and learning through tutoring! I tutor Biology, Ecology, and standardized test prep. From high school to Stanford, I have learned that lectures are often difficult for students to follow. They can lose confidence in subjects because the information is not presented in a way that is...

...plethora of AP tests (4s and 5s across the board), and so would be happy to aid with any test prep you may need. I am a very amicable person, and truly think that I could have a successful tutoring relationship with virtually anyone. I am happy to speak with you more prior to a lesson should you have any questions regarding my qualifications and/or character. Thank you for your time and I hope to...

...University after studying public policy as an undergraduate at Duke University. I hope to pursue a career in education policy in the future, but at present I want to be the best tutor that I can be. Given my passionate about education policy, I understand the important role that standardized tests play in allowing students to maximize their own educational potential. My goal as a tutor is to help each student that I work with...

...Health Sciences major. While at ASU I had the opportunity to work at the Downtown Student Success Center for two years as a supplemental instructor. Most of my students were pre-med or studying to become nurses. My favorite subject to teach was Anatomy/Physiology, but I also enjoyed most math and sciences courses especially General and Organic Chemistry. In my spare time, I enjoy competing in all types of sports, reading a good book and taking...

...to reach even the most difficult student and that's what I am. Having lived in three continents, I have gained experience in working with people from diverse cultures which is an asset with regards to communicating and understanding people from different walks of life. I am a biochemist by profession. I obtained my biochemistry degree at London Metropolitan University in the UK where I graduated with honors. I majored in immunology, physiology, toxicology, molecular biology,...

...will help me tailor lessons specifically for each student, and teach them in the way that they learn best. On top of the subject matter, I will also work towards developing test taking skills specifically designed for the college entrance exams. Having a clear cut strategy on how to take the ACT/SAT will allow students to have as much success as possible success on test day. I look forward to working with you.

...to ride my bike (both mountain and road). Nearly anything that will get me outside, I'm certain to enjoy (rock climbing, hiking, backpacking). Photography is another activity I enjoy, and it goes very well with my "outdoorsy" activities by giving me a way to artistically capture the beauty around me on my hikes. Tutoring is really a great system for reinforcing learning. One-on-one interactions are difficult with how large schools are in major metropolitan areas...

...international construction company, and a recent graduate from the University of Arizona. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Civil Engineering in May 2016 and left my roots in Tucson, Arizona. In my spare time, I enjoy soaking up the beautiful views around here by hiking, running, and adventuring. My hobbies also include cooking and baking, beauty pageants, bargain shopping, and traveling whenever the opportunity arises. I began tutoring elementary and middle school students in...

...desired pace and will work at your level, I am a good fit for you. I have tutored students from the elementary school age up to the graduate school level. In my free time, I love watching sports, especially football. I am a diehard Notre Dame fan and get back to campus as much as possible. I also love to hike and enjoy the great outdoor opportunities that Arizona gives us. I also enjoy traveling,...

...my thesis this fall to complete my MS in Psychology degree from ASU. My academic and teaching experience focuses on the natural, social, and health sciences along with statistics and essay writing including graduate level research papers. I have presented numerous research papers at national psychology conventions and received a graduate research award for my thesis research. My favorite subjects to teach high school and undergraduate/graduate students are psychology, statistics, research methods, biology, nutrition, and...

...I will be your tour guide. I am a very dedicated and passionate person with an outgoing personality, who believes learning should be a fun and enriching experience. I treat each student as if they were my son or daughter, making sure they are in a comfortable and safe learning environment. I love to think outside the box when it comes to planning lessons, applying student interests and hobbies when possible. This act gives each...

...Junior Classical League, and medaling in national written exams such as the Medusa Mythology Exam. Whether in the sciences or humanities, my students benefit from my unique blend of experience. My varied education, with degrees in both Biochemistry and Classical Studies and advanced study in a number of fields in between, gives me the flexibility to adapt to each student and the power to supplement a student's education with perspectives from other fields. My experience...
