Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Connecticut

...oldest collegiate a cappella singing group. Apart from singing, I'm is passionate about education, particularly in helping high school students achieve their academic goals as they work their way towards college. I volunteer in New Haven as a math teacher and coach at a public middle school (my team of 7th graders just won the 2016 New Haven regional championship!), and I've been tutoring middle and high school students for over 7 years. On top...

I am currently a student studying neuroscience at Columbia University. I have been tutoring for 3 years, in both academic subjects and in ACT prep. I love working with students and helping them master new concepts!

...of Texas at Austin with a BBA in Finance and a BS in Civil Engineering. I believe the most important 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...

...over the years and I am just as excited about teaching physics as I was when I first began, but I am much better at it now. Physics is a wonderful subject that has garnered a reputation of being overly difficult. Yes physics requires math, as this is the language of physics, but it is not insurmountable with the proper instruction. To be successful in physics, one must have guidance to utilize their math and...

...and easy-going style even as I challenge them to solve problems through their own critical reasoning. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than when a student tells me "I'm really starting to enjoy learning about this," because in my experience, this is a preliminary step towards personal ownership of their academic pursuits. Guardians value my commitment to their student's education, my effectiveness in enhancing their scholarly capabilities, and my reliability. Students appreciate that I connect with...

My name is Zev and I am a rising junior at Georgetown. I have always enjoyed helping others learn and that is why I joined Varsity Tutors. My favorite subject is math, as I have always loved problem solving. In my free time, I play tennis, fish, and read.

...range of subjects, including Economics and Politics (through University level) and Calculus, Statistics, Spanish, US History, Chemistry, and Geography (through AP level). I'm also experienced in university admissions coaching, including SAT/ACT tutoring and advising on personal statements and supplemental essays. Prior to Oxford, I attended the Taft School, where I worked as a peer tutor in several subjects and volunteered with low-income 8th graders, helping them prepare for the SSAT and apply to selective secondary...

...to not only instruct students how to do the problem that they are struggling with but to also make sure that they understand why such a procedure works. As a student, I did not always find new concepts easy to understand and I therefore empathise with struggling students, coaching them with a patient, probing approach until we are both satisfied that we have reached our goal. My mathematics and physics background has provided me plenty...

...efficient way possible. As educators, it doesn't make sense to give a student a fish but rather to teach them to fish for themselves. For this reason, I believe there are two types of students: those who make excuses and those who find a way. I believe in the power of determination and a hard work ethic. Failure is not permanent but merely a stop on the way to success and I believe that this...

I am a rising sophomore at Princeton University currently on a gap year. I am majoring in Civil and Environmental Engineering. In high school, I tutored middle and high school students in math. While I am most passionate about math, I tutor a wide range of subjects, including APs, SAT, and ACT.

...often taught from the offset to hate and fear them as subjects. My Goal as a tutor is to demystify both and introduce young learners their fascinating history! Completing a physics major at Hampshire College, a college famous for its unorthodox teaching style, I garnered a strong understanding of how to interest my non-mathematical peers with complex scientific subjects. Many undergraduates, fresh out of high school, have developed a strong distaste for the exact sciences,...

As an educator, I strive to make math available to every student. Each student has their own learning style and is capable of learning. My job is to connect the student to their learning, using techniques that suit their needs. We need to include a few laughs along the way, as this is Math after all!

...to teach and have a great passion for sharing my knowledge with others! I am most passionate about math and hard sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics and have most experience tutoring middle school, high school, and college students. My mission is to develop students' problem-solving skills so that they can get to the answers on their own to not only improve their homework scores but also help on quizzes and tests through better...

...am currently most interested in teaching subjects based in STEM such as math or biology. When I am teaching, I like to focus on the process required to solve a problem because it will allow the student to potentially solve problems they have never encountered before. I do this by providing a lot of examples and working through the steps with the student. When I have free time, I enjoy going to the gym, rock...

...in Finance. Throughout the years, I've grown accustomed to helping out my friends and other peers with work and problems they don't understand. As of now, I'm tutoring Math and Spanish, although in the future I hope to add other subjects, particularly in political science and business. Some of my hobbies include playing the bass and writing, though I have many more interests, and spend lots of time listening to music of all types.

...Calculus, to Differential Equations. I am also very passionate about English, Literature, Russian Studies, Spanish Language, and History. I believe that the key to success is having a well rounded education, so when I am not programming microcontrollers, one can either find me watching Russian news channels to polish up my vocabulary, reading textbooks on the history of the Middle East, or simply immersing myself in a Jane Austen novel. In my free time I...

...of Cellular and Molecular Biology). I currently work in a chemistry lab at the University of Rochester, specializing in organic synthesis. In high school, I took AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Statistics, AP Calculus, and AP Physics (1 and 2), and I earned a score of 5 on the AP exams for each of them. Currently, I am a sophomore at the University of Rochester with a 3.92 GPA and I am planning on going...

...served as an instructor for a General Psychology course over two semesters. This gave me the opportunity to create a space for students to clarify course material, have critical discussions about various psychology concepts, and learn through interactive activities the ways in which these concepts might apply to their everyday lives. I also served as an instructor for Research Methods in Psychology for 8 semesters at the college level. Along with teaching basic principles of...
