Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Vacaville, CA

...honors thesis for the political science department. I took one gap year between UCLA and medical school where I worked in a Neuroscience and Biophysics Research Lab while TAing (teaching assistant) for several biology courses including LS 2, LS 4, and LS23L (Cells, Tissues and Organs, Genetics, and Intro to Biology Lab). I currently attend Drexel University College of Medicine where I am in my final year of MedU al school currently applying for my...

...how great an advantage it is to have that kind of support and resource. I am dedicated to helping students succeed in their courses as well as gain an understanding of the concepts and material. It is not enough to simply do well. I want students to first have a desire to learn. I want them to understand the material enough to be able to do well on their own, and to help teach it...

...been a Biology, Anatomy, Physiology and English tutor for almost 4 years now and tutored a total of over 400 students in that time period. I like to create a relaxed and comfortable environment for those that I tutor. Communication is key and I believe it is important to be able to explain topics in a variety of ways to be sure that students of all different learning styles and backgrounds can understand and digest...

...as simple as pushing the door, driving a car at a certain speed, or playing with yo-yo could be explained using physics. I also love biology. Once you understand the gist of biological processes, which occur daily, you can't help but to marvel at its precision. My teaching philosophy is practice makes near-perfect. I believe that with practice and repetition with the right strategies, anybody can master the subjects I will be teaching. Some may...

...assistant at Berkeley City College for introductory biology classes for a few semesters, and also work as a lab technician at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory focusing on breast cancer. Most my experience in teaching has been with community college students, so I aim to make the concepts clear and inspire them to further their career in science. As a first generation Chinese immigrant, I am also fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese! I am very...

...sure path to success is through continuous effort. A tutor must have the patience to move through the subject at the student's own pace. Mathematics is important not just because of its endless application and its role as the foundation of the sciences, but because the problem solving strategies and intellectual tool set required in learning math are supremely advantageous to every field of academic and professional life. It is a pleasure to help young...

...and organization skills. I like to tutor history and English especially, because being able to have a conversation about a subject really helps me learn. When I begin working with a student, I like to start out by getting to know them and their interests, and trying to pinpoint exactly where they are having trouble in a subject. By finding these leverage points, I can help them develop good habits and new strategies to create...

I am a graduate for CSU Bakersfield with a B.A. in Political Science and a minor in Middle Eastern History. I am currently in the process of returning back to school to pursue my teaching credential. I am a Sacramento native and I am looking forward to working with you. I specialize in Junior High full education, High School early math, english and all social studies.

...my masters in social work for clinical counseling. I believe I am patient, understanding and excellent at building foundations that will stay with you for a lifetime. I would love to help you with your educational pursuit and I will make sure that frustration is never felt again. It is my goal to make sure each individual student achieves their maximum potential, you are all super stars I am only here to remind you of...

I am currently working as a tutor in Computer Science and Mathematics at American River College. I am also a father of two, with one on the way!

...always been my philosophy to make sure the student understands a subject by breaking down concepts in the easiest way. My passion for the sciences drives me to not only teach what is on paper, but offer deeper insights to the material. I also love to laugh, and because of that, I try to make sessions light hearted, and less intimidating. Furthermore, as a problem solver, I will stop at nothing to ensure a student...

...a surprisingly rewarding experience. (Yes, I am a huge nerd now. See photo.) You just need to break down the problems, recognize patterns, and apply the concepts. So if you're just required to take a math course and you're sick of having a panic attack every time you look at a problem, or if you're in a STEM program and you are constantly worried that you don't belong there, I can help. I can also...

My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

...and math through the Algebra concepts. Tutoring is one of the things that I love to do. Watching a student have that "light bulb" moment is very fulfilling. I have had the privilege of working with students of all ages to help them improve their skills, and achieve success in their studies. In my free time, when I'm not volunteering with different organizations, I enjoy outdoor activities like golf, tennis and hiking.

...I approach teaching in the same way that I approach learning; through a problem-solving, rather than memorization-based technique. I have found that most of the time, students are eager to understand the big picture but can sometimes get tripped up by confusing subtleties before they get there. It is my job to patiently translate that jargon into understandable concepts that enable the student to better understand the subject. I love teaching all sciences, as well...

...biology, physics, math, history, chemistry, and ecology. My teaching method is to make complex ideas more relative to simple concepts and everyday life. I believe that making connections to concepts while learning is the easiest way to grasp a subject. I enjoy all sports with an emphasis in basketball, baseball, football, soccer, and tennis. I played all of these sports in high school and at the intramural level in college. I also love reading, music,...

...taken the MCAT exam twice and scoring dramatically better the second time, I feel that I have compiled a set of study skills and techniques that could also help other pre-med students who, like me, had struggled with getting familiar with that challenging exam. Moreover, being at the College of Medicine at the U. of Cincinnati and talking to the Dean of Admissions on multiple occasions, I'm familiar with what is important in student applications...

...me - I've been a tutor for many people before, including friends, family, and classmates. Currently I am able to tutor in math, but soon I will be expanding that to include Computer Science, Chemistry, and Physics. My students tend to be pretty successful because I'm easy to get along with; I'm friendly and easygoing. I understand that school can be difficult and stressful - I've been there, and lived it, and been on both sides...

...and patience, the student is not only able to learn the mathematical process, but also the ability to think analytically. I would say that my tutoring philosophy is based on encouragement and always validating the opinions of the student before steering the student in the right direction. The student must be willing to learn and absorb information, as well as willing to work with me on a schedule that will match our goals and get...

I have a Bachelor's of Science in Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology. I am very passionate about the life sciences and also have experience in psychology and mathematics. I am an active volunteer at a children's hospital and plan on pursuing a career in medicine. My goals are to help my students learn in a fun environment that also nurtures their appreciation for that subject.
