Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors serving Sacramento, CA

I am currently a student at Ithaca College pursuing a degree in physics. I am very passionate about math and science especially, and I have found that teaching students is another passion. I have experience tutoring high school students in areas including algebra, algebra 2 and AP Physics 1. I love working with students to help them achieve their goals, and finding exactly what teaching style works best for which students.

I am a future medical student and recent engineering graduate, and I look forward to working with students in math and science.... During a first session, I would talk with the student about their academic goals, and also discuss learning strategies that have worked well for them in the past.... I like to focus on big picture objectives. I believe it is more important to understand the foundations of a process and the overarching idea, rather...

...cum laude from a mechanical engineering program on a full scholarship, I didn't always like math and science. It can take a lot of effort to "click" with these kinds of subjects, but once you do, it's a surprisingly rewarding experience. (Yes, I am a huge nerd now. See photo.) You just need to break down the problems, recognize patterns, and apply the concepts. So if you're just required to take a math course and...

...Science (Class of 2014) while also completing the pre med requirements there. At UCLA, I took the full General and Organic Chem series with labs, Life Science Physics including labs, Calculus, Biology including labs, and completed an honors thesis for the political science department. I took one gap year between UCLA and medical school where I worked in a Neuroscience and Biophysics Research Lab while TAing (teaching assistant) for several biology courses including LS 2,...

...it wasn't always easy for me. The lessons I learned and experiences I've had helped me how to relate to someone that is struggling in school. I have tutored various subjects from high school math, calculus, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and psychology. The most success I've had with my students is to create as relax atmosphere with a bit of humor. My goal is to work with you to discover what your strengths and weaknesses are....

...most comfortable with Math and the Sciences. Although not particularly applicable to tutoring, I also have two California licenses regarding Real Estate; a Real Estate Salesperson License, and a Real Estate Trainee Appraiser License. I largely believe in the "Renaissance Man", and that a broad education creates well-rounded people who are able to tackle anything in life. During my free time, I enjoy reading fantasy novels, and playing various kinds of games, such as board...

...a Ucsd physics major and have plenty of experience working with children between being a tutor and having worked in childcare. I love both learning and teaching so I am very excited for these tutoring opportunities! My philosophy has a lot to do with bringing the subject matter to life for the student and making sure they gain enthusiasm and confidence with the subject as they learn and work through the material. The specific needs...

I have a passion for math and science being an engineering major myself and is something I try to bring to each session. School can be challenging and difficult at times, however, I believe with the dedication, hard work, and the right help success is imminent. In addition, I have worked with a variety of students at different stages in their educational career as both a tutor for Sierra College and as a private tutor.

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is...

I believe that anything can seem easy if it's presented in the right way, at the right pace. If I can make a student interested in a topic and engage with their learning style, learning happens much faster and more effectively, and doesn't feel like work. I endeavor to interest students in any topic (but especially math) by giving them a sense of a larger context. In particular, I love to bring college-level math...

...Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Cincinnati. I plan on attending 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...

...all students want to learn and that one of the largest reason students begin to struggle in a class is because they have fallen behind in some way and therefore lost confidence. My main goal as a tutor will be to restore their confidence in the subject by providing complete understanding of concepts as well as preparing them for the most complex examples so that they will not be caught off guard in the class....

...a physics student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Throughout my high school and college career, I have been tutoring people of all ages a variety of different subjects, but I specialize in math and physics. I am a firm believer that one cannot explain a concept to a 5-year-old, then they do not understand it enough. When I teach my students, I try my best to make sure they can achieve this deep level...

...from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a B.S. in Physics, and I will be attending Northeastern University to continue my education with a Ph.D. in Physics. I love helping students succeed, and I bring a strong Math and Science background to help students struggling with these difficult subjects. I believe that the secret to succeeding in these subjects is not in memorizing solutions and equations, but by developing problem solving skills so students will know how...

...College-intro, or General level tutor. I particularly enjoy tutoring for Computer Science and Math, in these subjects I immediately see the bigger picture, with the knowledge learned from them being able to apply to other subjects across the board. My teaching style is a 'Learn with the student' approach, breaking down problems to basic parts and building them up piece by piece, really understanding what and why we are doing each step of the process. I...

...as a Project Engineer designing and building custom equipment for manufacturing airplanes in Mukilteo, WA. I've always loved math and science, which drove me down the career path I'm on. I challenged myself in high school and took advantage of every opportunity I could to learn more about these subjects. I took AP classes, college classes online, and was a part of several science and math based competitive teams. In college, I furthered my education...

...is Standardized Test Prep (SAT, ACT, and GRE). Performing well on these tests can truly bolster a student???s application for undergraduate or graduate education, and I truly enjoy helping him or her achieve their best. I am also passionate about tutoring Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. My teaching style is not set in stone; I understand that everyone learns differently and will try to find a learning method that will suit the student. Next year,...

...enrolled in UT, at Dallas as a Computer Engineer major. I've spent tons of time tutoring friends, and I'm very much looking forward to tutoring new students. I love teaching physics more than anything because it's very conceptual, and finding new ways to make it make sense to others like it does to me is always fun. Seeing a concept click for someone is incredibly enjoyable to me, especially when someone describes themselves as terrible...

...SHSAT and Regents prep to Calculus, Physics, and Geometry. I specialize in mathematics, however, my writing and reading comprehension skills are of an equally high level. Having achieved top scores on both the SAT and SHSAT, along with various regents tests, I know what it takes to understand subject matter, and as a result, achieve high scores. I believe that everyone possesses the ability to excel in their academic pursuits. I would love to help...
