Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Catalina Foothills, AZ

As a systems engineer and data scientist, I mentor and collaborate with other professionals to solve hard problems. In learning, there is no problem that we cannot master with patience and persistence.

...excited to help you achieve you or your students academic goals. I received my Bachelors degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Arizona. I am also currently pursuing my Masters in Environmental Engineering. I have multiple years of experience tutoring and am presently teaching high school juniors. I am very patient, passionate about my field, and understand every student learns differently. I look forward to helping you master your goals!

...Flight Center and the National Solar Observatory as intern and also a time where I was a cooperative education program student for 4 years. During graduate school, I was also a teaching assistant for a sum total of 3 years. I graduated from Howard University in 2009. My dissertation was titled "The Canonical Proper-time Theory Applied to Particles and Fields." After graduate school became a postdoctoral researcher at the National Solar Observatory in Tucson AZ....

...geared toward solving physical problems using mathematical modeling. During my undergraduate education, I was employed as a physics tutor, assisting students with physics and mathematics coursework, where I honed skills in conveying information effectively to students at all levels. I also served as a teaching assistant, providing instruction in the use of telescopes and related lab equipment. I also have experience in the instruction of student musical ensembles, and can maintain a professional and productive...

I recently completed grad school with a degree in geology. I have a broad background in the physical science and math. I look forward to helping you out with standardized tests, math through calculus, chemistry, and physics.... Anyone can master any subject with enough time and the right teacher.... I ask the student what they think they are having issues with and work through some general practice problems to try and determine exactly what subjects need...

...I tutored physics during my time at Central, and have taught labs and given lectures as a graduate student. As someone who struggled at the beginning of his academic career, it is easy for me to relate to those who are at a loss in regard to physics. In high school, I was one of the many students who are heard to say, "I'm just not good at math." Through practice, however, I was able...

I am a highly motivated student who is passionately interested in education. I have experience tutoring in several disciplines of mathematics and science, as well as a background in coaching children in gymnastics.

...higher level courses in whatever subject matter I choose. Though I feel confident in all of the subjects that I selected to tutor in, in a classroom setting I would prefer to teach mathematics or computer science. I am 20 years old and I study at the University of Arizona while also taking certain classes at Pima Community College. I look forward to helping all of the students that I can through the Varsity Tutors platform.

...extra support to students with different and metaphorical explanations to things. My favorite subjects are Calculus and Chemistry, but I have proficiency in tutoring and teaching most of the pre-med courses such as physics and organic chemistry. As a final note. I was born and raised in Brazil before migrating to AZ. I have been heavily involved with education since I started college. For part of my volunteer time, I would help international students feel welcomed...

Hello, my name is Michael. I'm here to help.

...help students in grades K-12 with any academic troubles they may have. I'm a National Merit Scholar with a 35 ACT score, and I have years of experience tutoring in math. I can cover a variety of subjects ranging from elementary math, to pre-Algebra, all the way up to Calculus. I also specialize in test prep, especially relating to the ACT and SAT. Furthermore, I have multiple 5 star reviews from previous students, so you...

...me; I need to come at it from a different angle. For example, I rarely learn from spoken word; I have trained myself to visualize what people are saying while they are saying it, which has helped a lot, but often I need to write things down, or perform some physical motion. So when tutoring, I switch up visual/auditory/kinesthetic approaches, and also try to ground things to reality: why learn something in the first place?...

I believe that the best strategy to teaching is to identify misconceptions and carefully build up understanding from the basics.

...started doing this was for my own learning. I am much more of a visual and creative thinker than most engineering students. My own passion for these subjects is easily translated into passion for teaching them since I know what it's like to struggle with it. Outside of STEM, I also have extensive interest in English. I took the most amount of English courses I could in high school, and so I have way too...

...and failed to excel in Math. I excelled in all my other subjects, but Math was a different beast. In High School, I resolved to give Math my all, once and for all. I signed up for some intensive tutoring--3 hours a day, 6 days a week, for one month. On a grading scale (UK), where a score of 75% or higher is an A (and I was hoping to reach the 75% mark), I...

...often I was working with students who were coming back to college with a memory of hating math. I made sure to take extra time and care with these students and while doing so, I got to watch as the light bulbs would go off and their dislike of math began to change. I understand that math and physics can feel like learning a new language. The concepts aren't always intuitive at first. I like...

...military service. I'd like to start using my skills to help struggling students, while keeping the flexibility to stay home with my youngest who is not yet in pre-school. Having taught in a public school setting, I have had experience with students of all abilities and understand that each student is unique; and therefore each student may learn slightly differently than the one style of teaching that the classroom teacher primarily uses. I also understand...

...teaching from the UofA. I have worked in laboratories, as an editor, and as a high school science teacher. I tutor Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Math. Chemistry is my preferred subject (stoichiometry is fun!). My main goal in teaching and tutoring is to simplify concepts that initially seem difficult and to reduce frustration in math and science by building students' confidence in their problem-solving abilities. Math and science become much easier with individualized attention and...

...Retention of Mathematics Teachers. During this course I was mentored by two high school teachers who had me help during their classes. This experience gave me a good base for designing lessons and introduced me to common problems students have and how to work past them. After completing this course and earning a listing on the math department's website, I tutored through the rest of my college career with students from middle school level to...
