Award-Winning Organic Chemistry Tutors serving Redmond, WA

...them, which is why I take a different approach for each individual student. I have a bachelor's degree in Finance from the University of Washington's Foster School of Business. I transferred from Carleton College, where I focused on economics and was also able to take a wide range of liberal arts courses. I have been tutoring since high school when I was a peer STEM tutor and continued to tutor various subjects through college including...

...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 that anyone can learn anything as long as it is explained in a way that is conducive to them, and I aim to achieve that in my teaching. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy ultimate frisbee, television, reading, and...

...Washington, I was fortunate to be exposed to very different learning and teaching styles. I also learned to appreciate that very smart people can think in very different ways from each other and that people who are outstanding at some subjects inevitably need help with others. I always bring this insight to bear on tutoring, where I work together with the student to find a method or style that works best for them!

...to study bioengineering stems from my love and appreciation for human life. Life is truly fragile, and can be deprived in an instant or over a despairing process. Over time, I have discovered my duty to protect life through personal experiences, medical center volunteer work, and physician shadowing at Swedish Medical Group. There are still many medical problems in this world that have either too costly treatments, no treatment at all, or are entirely unknown...

...like to focus on helping my students develop independent study skills that will support them through life. What this means is building up the analytical skills that they will need to prepare and study for assignments and tests when they're going to go to college. There's only so much one can do in teaching the content that we also need to teach our students how they can become their own teachers and succeed on their...

...to my young children. I enjoy the questions they ask when their concepts of how things work are just forming. I try to encourage the students I tutor to ask "why?" and give them the confidence to undertake their own independent research. I enjoy spending time in the great outdoors that the Pacific Northwest offers; I also love reading, singing, playing netball, and spending time with my family. I have recently taken up running and...

...getting to know my new city. In addition, I am enthusiastic about cooking and baking, and love to try new recipes, with varying levels of success. I have a personal passion for learning, and an interest in sharing that passion with others. It is my belief that everyone learns differently, and that by discovering the right methods, everyone can be an effective learner. By finding out how you learn best, you can accomplish anything you...

...it! I have been teaching for five years not only because it is helpful in giving back to the community, but also because I need to in order to master my craft. Because of this, it is in my best interest to optimize my teaching style and habits whenever I organize a session. I dabble in epistemology, which is the study of knowledge, and am very intent on streamlining studying skills. I can definitely teach...

...Since graduation from undergrad, I have been working as a tutor for Highline Community College and volunteered in many hospitals to gain experience in the health care profession. While at Highline, I tutored college students who struggle in their classes. I worked with a very diverse group of students whose age ranges from 16 to 40 and they come from many different backgrounds. I remember when I was a college student, I went through the...

...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 to workout and run. I love the beach and kayaking. My family is very important to me...

...at NYU next school year. Science and math have always been my strong subjects and I love learning more about our natural world. In my senior year of high school, I got my first tutoring opportunity. I tutored Calculus to another student from my high school and I've enjoyed teaching ever since. I always try to do my best to prepare for each tutoring session and help the students to build confidence in the subjects....

...passionate about helping students because I realize how hard school can be when striving for As or falling behind and not feeling good enough. Being a student myself I have achieved an Associates of Arts and am currently pursuing my Bachelors of Science at the University of Washington. I have tutored community members and peers since my high school years and am ready to help a new generation of students achieve their academic dreams.

...be very fun! I go above and beyond to make sure my students understand the material and have a successful tutoring experience. In my free time I like being active and reading or watching sports (or netflix) to relax. I am currently reading the A Song of Ice and Fire series (no spoilers please!), and I am on a recreational soccer team with some of my friends. I am also a member of the University...

...other areas the student has more experience with or is enthusiastic about. In math especially the abstract nature of many concepts can disillusion students early on in the learning process, and bringing those ideas back to the student's world can make them more accessible and easier to utilize. All in all, I love learning and derive a great sense of accomplishment from mastering a new topic, and to the greatest degree possible I strive to...

...to encourage them to develop a curiosity for applying science to their own life. I have been a volunteer tutor and teaching assistant for elementary math and reading, as well as elementary, middle, and high school science. I have taken and excelled in AP courses, college courses, and graduate level chemistry courses and hope to prepare students for similar success by explaining and reviewing material, introducing study and testing strategies, and getting at the "why"...

I am currently working towards my bachelors in materials science and engineering from the University of Washington @ Seattle. During my time at university I've been a mentee several times, and now that I'm in my final year and have seen the benefits of mentorship, I am happy to begin mentoring others. This desire to support students extends towards tutoring where I am comfortable to tutor math and science of various levels.

...I thought about how much harder it would have been from community college, but honestly, it was not that much more difficult. During my undergraduate career, I partook in activities such as the UW dream project where we mentored high school children that came from low economic backgrounds, undergraduate research, and some Vietnamese based volunteer work. I also did some freelance tutoring around my University campus in subjects such as Organic Chemistry, upper division Biology,...

...am scientist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Throughout my educational career, I was always the person that classmates asked for help. I peer tutored throughout high school and college. I taught a Biology lab at the undergraduate level, and as a graduate student, I mentored many other students in science. I can make even the most difficult concepts easy to understand. I am extremely patient with students, and I know working with me...

...I studied it as an undergraduate and believe that the key to learning anything is understanding how the subject matter fits into the larger picture of your life. If you understand WHY you need to learn something, you have an incentive to learn it. I've tutored middle school, high school, and college freshmen and sophomores and occasionally get a phone call from one of my younger sisters asking for help editing an essay or solving...

...left me thoroughly acquainted with the hard sciences. The hard data and empirical knowledge of chemistry and biology were a definite change from the political theory I studied at Whitman. At Montana State University, where I took my prerequisites, I served as a peer instructor for physics classes. Just as I did at the writing center, I tried to get students to see the fun in physics, making their studies less of a chore and...
