Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Vancouver, WA

...preparation, and I met these requirements without incident. Previously I have held two positions in education. In the Grinnell in Prison Program I first tutored two teenagers who had suffered mental and emotional trauma, and later taught two semester-long classes with self-composed curricula to inmates at a local correctional facility. With ambitious subjects, namely Cell Structure and Ancient Greek Humanities, I successfully captured class attention during lecture and discussions, included demonstrations, and asked them to...

...own to sidestep mental walls, thus building confidence. I love to see them succeed academically and value the opportunity to be a part of that success. I tutor Mathematics, Physics, SAT Prep and, my favorite, Computer Science. I have experience putting Computer Science to use both in the classroom and in the software industry, years of exposure to Physics and Mathematics in the classroom, and my own experience preparing for the SAT to draw on....

...3+ years in tutoring middle school and high school students in writing, math, and science. Since my first tutoring job tutoring my peers in high school, I've realized that I enjoy problem-solving and connecting with students. I believe each student already has the tools within them to improve upon their academic performance. My job is to assist them in understanding the factors that motivate/demotivate said improvement and actualize their full potential. As a tutor, I...

...math major and tutored math privately. I absolutely love helping other people to achieve a clear, intuitive understanding of quantitative subjects. It's all too common for folks to struggle with math and even stress out about it. I hope to help more students to realize that math isn't scary. The most important thing is that we take the pressure off. The primary goal of the tutor should be to make the subject approachable and comprehensible....

...talking about math and science! I spent the past two years in Mozambique teaching 11th and 12th grade physics and computer technology with the U.S. Peace Corps. Prior to moving abroad, I graduated with a B.S. in Environmental Engineering from Oregon State University. As a tutor and mentor, I am passionate about helping students reach their full potential and overcome any obstacles that are in their way of academic success. I look forward to working...

...BS in Neuroscience and Psychology from Washington State University. I am Math/Science teacher, and I tutor. Generally, I tutor inorganic Chemistry, basic math, geometry, algebra, philosophy, psychology, reading comprehension, and study Skills. I have experienced tutoring with students of different ages including college, high school, middle school, and elementary school. Science and Mathematics were my favorite since elementary school, and I used to help my friends with Chemistry, Trigonometry, Calculus, and Physics during college years.

Have a love of learning and enjoy teaching others

...of teaching: The best part of teaching is feeling proud of what your students accomplish. A good teacher is someone for whom the student wants to work hard. A teachers most important skill is seeing things through students eyes. The students should be able to see themselves making progress. That's the psychological part of teaching. As for technique, I model, and monitor student work, and explain to correct mistakes. Students learn the most by working...

I love teaching! It's so rewarding to help people figure things out. Aside from teaching, I enjoy books, coffee, and video games with my friends.

...sessions. I've also taught core business courses in Operations Management and Data Analysis for Managers in the California State University System (Sacramento State). I enjoy the most working with individual students to help them along their path to personal growth, whether learning the basics, or taking it to the next level. I've had success with advanced students and with challenged students. My education gave me opportunities in life that led me to interesting and vital...

The thing that makes me a great tutor is the fact that I don't give direct answers. I work with the student and what they know, and we build on that knowledge to answer his or her question. This way of tutoring helps him or her to become more self-sufficient and capable of doing these problems and reasoning the problems out for himself or herself in the future. ... I feel that students have the knowledge...

...around the world: Tripoli, Quito, and various states. I have a degree from MIT and spent 25 years at Intel in a number of positions. My hobbies are playing the piano, hiking, reading, bridge and bowling (yes, bowling!). I enjoy talking about anything and will often make stuff up just to keep the conversation going. I started tutoring back in the 90's in a program called Start Making A Reader Today (SMART). I found some...

...methods aren't one size fits all. The best teaching methods are the ones that fit the way the student learns, and each student learns differently. Finding what works best for each of my students is just the first step in what is hopefully a lasting relationship. Though I like to think of myself as a scientist, in truth I aspire to be a science educator, and plan on attending graduate school to become a teacher....

I am a recently graduated college student with a B.A in both Physics and Mathematics. Right now I am taking a year off before pursuing a Ph.D. in Astrophysics/Astronomy, and I wanna spend that year helping others understand the wonders of Physics!

...an opportunity to influence positively how a student sees him or herself as a learner. Learning takes place over the course of a school year, semester, quarter, week, or in a five minute time frame (such as with a substitute teacher). The math problem or the causes of the American Revolution may be what the student is learning but the context of the situation is always making learning a positive experience for the student.... Learning is...

Graduate of Reed College in physics, and passionate about many areas of the subject including cosmology, astrophysics, high energy particle physics, and nuclear physics. I have a large background knowledge of coding, general physics, and astrophysics.

...of this material was fostered by my journey to obtain the rank of eagle scout in the BSA. After my last year at summer camp, I decided that I needed to commit harder to science in research if I was to have a successful career in physics. I transferred from Texas A&M, where I had been a physics and electrical engineering student for two years, to CU-Boulder, which had a prominent research oriented applied physics...

I am currently an undergraduate student in college studying engineering. I hope to not only help students better understand their material, but also inspire them to enjoy learning, as I came to really appreciate the intellectual challenge of learning from great teachers and professors, whose roles I seek to embody as much as I can as a tutor.

...people seem the most fearful of learning; sometimes believing they are predisposed to not being able to learn it. I think that while it might be harder for some people, a lot depends on how it is taught, so seeking help from tutors is quite possibly the best way to go if you're struggling to learn it from a more standardized source. I promise to help you find what clicks even if I'm helping you...

I am a computer scientist and mathematician with a passion for STEM disciplines. Sharing my passion and knowledge with others brings me great joy and a sense of purpose and community. Teaching is both a science and an art form, and catering to different learning styles is a strength of mine.
