Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Connecticut

...in my high school years, revealed the deep insecurities we all carry as students. To a 6th grader, the thought of algebra was so frightening and intimidating that any reasoning disintegrated. So, we followed the mantra Algebra is not magic, reminding the student in times when she faltered that she can think through a math problem. As long as she felt grounded enough to access her innate understanding of the world around us, she progressed....

...subjects are music history/theory and anatomy/physiology, although I also have a lot of tutoring experience in general chemistry. All of the students who I tutored during college saw improvements in their grades and test scores with my tutoring. I have plenty of availability for tutoring, both online and in-person, and would love the chance to help you succeed in your academic work. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up a tutoring...

...a good portion of my career focused on teaching. I recently served for eight years as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Trinity College, a liberal arts college in which faculty have lots of one-on-one interactions with students. Sitting down and delving into problems with students during office hours was always one of my favorite aspects of the job. I am currently transitioning back into full time chemical research but would like to keep a...

...numerous students in the sciences and lab sections while developing personalized tutoring sessions to meet each students' needs. I was a Teaching Assistant for an introductory biology lab course at BC and also conducted independent malaria research in a genetics lab. Outside of tutoring, I am an avid tennis player and also enjoy volleyball and skiing. I am happy to be back in Connecticut this year and hope to help you or your student achieve...

...to become a teacher. The learning process fascinated me and I wanted to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with future students. Upon entering the field of education, I quickly realized that teaching was much more than bestowing information upon a room of students, to be soaked up by their sponge-like brains. I came to understand that teaching is far more complex, demanding, and rewarding than I ever imagined. Like teaching in a classroom, tutoring involves...

...in school, but never charged any money for it. I wanted to help them get through their classes so that they could continue making their dreams come true. I ended up taking a hiatus from school for a little while to take care of family, but then went back in January of 2014 to Tunxis Community College. It is at Tunxis where I began my career as a tutor. I got CRLA Certified through Tunxis...

...five years of tutoring experience. I am currently a medical student at Columbia University. I graduated with high distinction from Duke University, receiving the honors of Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa. I majored in Biology with a concentration in Cell and Molecular Biology and a minor in Chemistry. In addition to tutoring math and science, I also greatly enjoy helping students with SAT prep and college essay writing. I worked as a writing...

...quickly establish a rapport with a child in need of some academic help. I can keep a child engaged and keep to the subject matter. My strong suits are the basic sciences of Chemistry and Physics as well as Mathematics. I have taught the essentials of mechanics and engineering using Lego and I have taught the basics of civics and business as a Junior Achievement teacher in the upper elementary schools. I worked with adults...

...with a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality, and a minor in Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities. I was also pre-med and took all the prerequisite courses as well as the MCAT. Before college, I graduated from Hopkins School in New Haven, CT where I took a number of AP and honors classes and completed a senior project in creative writing. Because of my diverse academic background, I...

...a postdoctoral associate at Yale University conducing research in genetics/neuroscience. Throughout the years I have had many opportunities to interact with and train students. Specifically, as a graduate student I have had experience as a teaching assistant for general biology and advanced genetics lab courses, and have also tutored high school students in AP chemistry. Hopefully as a tutor for VT I can make STEM courses more approachable and rewarding for high school and undergraduate...

...thing when tutoring students is demonstrating that they can conquer the subject material at hand. As a tutor I believe it is my job to not only help the student with the specific coursework they requested but also address underlying issues with study habits or test taking strategies if applicable and desired. Every student deserves tutoring sessions that are personalized to account for the student's strengths and weaknesses in order to help accelerate the student's...

...in NJ where I studied Marine Biology with a concentration in Biotechnology. I then enrolled in and completed a Ph.D. program at Cornell University in Toxicology with minors in Pharmacology and Immunology. My independent laboratory research conducted at Cornell focused on cellular changes that may lead to cancer. I then moved into the industry with multiple biotechnology companies and worked my way up from a bench scientist to a senior management role over the last...

...Rochester Class of 2015, working towards a Bachelor's of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering. I have been tutoring for four years in a professional setting and seven years on a volunteer basis, specializing in math and science education. I also worked as a curriculum designer for an SAT tutoring firm. I enjoy tutoring because I am strongly against the practice of teaching to the lowest common denominator of students and I believe that every student...

I am a junior at Johns Hopkins University studying biomedical engineering and applied mathematics. I have tutored elementary through high school students in my area in some capacity for the past four years. I am most passionate about math and science (particularly chemistry), though I am well versed in a broad range of subjects. In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis and eating lots of good food.

Would you like a little help to understand Math, Science or Engineering? Would you like to become more successful at these subjects? I have been working with students of all sorts for over 28 years. It would be my pleasure to help you! My hobbies include carpentry, singing, and outdoor activities especially canoeing and hiking.

...of Arts in Physics and Spanish and a minor in Chemistry. I'm interested in one day becoming a doctor, but much of my work experience thus far has led me to education: working as a Spanish teaching assistant while at Bowdoin, as Education Coordinator for a middle school healthy dating curriculum in an office of the Puerto Rico Department of Health, and as a community health worker providing health education Spanish-speaking migrant farm workers, among...

...College while researching cell cycle control and DNA damage repair pathways in the common bread mold Aspergillus nidulans. This experience led me to pursue a PhD in Biomedical Sciences at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. I decided to start tutoring because it is the perfect opportunity for me to share my passion for science and gain valuable teaching experience. The two things that make me a great tutor are my deep understanding of biology and...

Knowledge is power, so let's empower the world together.

...goal of understanding a subject to its fullest. I want to make sure that students not only understand their subject of need, but also gain comfort with it to the point of being able to move through problems quickly and with ease. I want to help them gain confidence in the subjects where they lack it the most. I recently graduated from High School and am currently on track to get my Mechanical Engineering degree...

...I am currently working towards my Bachelor of Science in Environmental engineering. While at Yale, I worked with a club called MathCounts where I tutored middle schoolers on a variety of math subjects in an after-school program. While my interests span across disciplines, I have an expertise in the math and sciences, more specifically levels of math through Calculus II and high school level Chemistry. I like to tutor because I believe that education is...
