Award-Winning AP Physics 2 Tutors serving Davis, CA

...requirements there. At UCLA, I took the full General and Organic Chem series with labs, Life Science Physics including labs, Calculus, Biology including labs, and completed an 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...

I am currently a student at Ithaca College pursuing a degree in physics. I am very passionate about math and science especially, and I have found that teaching students is another passion. I have experience tutoring high school students in areas including algebra, algebra 2 and AP Physics 1. I love working with students to help them achieve their goals, and finding exactly what teaching style works best for which students.

I am a future medical student and recent engineering graduate, and I look forward to working with students in math and science.... During a first session, I would talk with the student about their academic goals, and also discuss learning strategies that have worked well for them in the past.... I like to focus on big picture objectives. I believe it is more important to understand the foundations of a process and the overarching idea, rather...

...scholarship, I didn't always like math and science. It can take a lot of effort to "click" with these kinds of subjects, but once you do, it's 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...

...and experiences I've had helped me how to relate to someone that is struggling in school. I have tutored various subjects from high school math, calculus, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and psychology. The most success I've had with my students is to create as relax atmosphere with a bit of humor. My goal is to work with you to discover what your strengths and weaknesses are. We will work together to improve the weaknesses while also...

...and the Sciences. Although not particularly applicable to tutoring, I also have two California licenses regarding Real Estate; a Real Estate Salesperson License, and a Real Estate Trainee Appraiser License. I largely believe in the "Renaissance Man", and that a broad education creates well-rounded people who are able to tackle anything in life. During my free time, I enjoy reading fantasy novels, and playing various kinds of games, such as board games, card games, and...

...learning and teaching so I am very excited for these tutoring opportunities! My philosophy has a lot to do with bringing the subject matter to life for the student and making sure they gain enthusiasm and confidence with the subject as they learn and work through the material. The specific needs for every student of course change because every one has unique learning capabilities and different ways of approaching and understanding the subject.

...they can merely get the right answer. I love trying to pass on my enthusiasm for math and science to my students, and I am always looking for ways to show how cool and fun mastering these subjects can be. Although I am most passionate about physics, I also tutor math and Spanish. When I'm not studying or teaching I enjoy swimming, reading (especially Michael Crichton and Orson Scott Card), and exchanging movie quotes with...

...believe that in order to give useful feedback to a student I need to observe and listen to them just as much they need to listen to me. Only then can I see what they need help understanding and how best to approach explaining it to them by building on their strengths. I think it's important to allow students time to think about problems and try to approach them on their own before giving them...

...presented in the right way, at the right pace. If I can make a student interested in a topic and engage with their learning style, learning happens much faster and more effectively, and doesn't feel like work. I endeavor to interest students in any topic (but especially math) by giving them a sense of a larger context. In particular, I love to bring college-level math concepts to students in a way anyone can understand, which...

...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 games of all sorts.

...have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love to bake sourdough, learn about history, garden, and recently started biking...

I am a second year student at Emory University working towards a B.S. in Physics and Mathematics. I tutor in all levels of physics and math, and specialize at the high school AP and SAT level. I have hundreds of hours of experience tutoring in these subjects, and I love to help my students see the beauty in physics and mathematics.

...on History and Philosophy of Science), and minors in Physics and Religion. I earned Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, and High Honors in Thesis for my 72-page work in the History of Science. I was also a committed Teaching Assistant (TA), going so far as to get special permission to TA Logic as an undergraduate due to my passion for teaching the subject, and participating in cross-departmental Physics-Education studies during my two semesters as...

...League university, I recognize that hard work and devotion to your studies will allow you to achieve your goals. I will work with each student to set appropriate learning targets whether s/he is looking to supplement school or learning to prepare for admission exams. As a father of two teenage boys, I understand the challenges that modern life places on family schedules. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, gardening, sports, and spending time with...

...in the college applications process, including the drafting/editing of personal statements and school-specific essays. I believe that, with persistence and grit, students can develop an extremely solid foundation of learning that can aid them in tests and everyday life. I definitely stress practice problems and problem solving in my approach, however I am open and flexible to feedback and adjustment. As a tutor, I hope to aid students in attaining their full academic potential! Besides...

As a recent Harvard grad living in New Orleans, I am excited to help others excel as they take every opportunity they can to learn. I tutored and TA'ed classes throughout college, while also studying computer science. That experience taught me that all subjects are tricky, and even the best students sometimes struggle. A good teacher and a helpful explanation can go a long way in rekindling the love of a difficult subject.

...information. I will be asking you a lot of questions along the way. The two most lessons that I teach to my students: 1. tolerance of uncertainty; and 2. confidence in your own self-efficacy. Everyone can attain mastery. I never doubt. Anything can be learned, if you breathe, accept that you are a beginner, and give into the process. To learn how to learn, that is my secret and that is my ethos.

...of Science degree in Systems Engineering. In the past, I have tutored high school students in a wide variety of math and physics courses. I also have experience in helping students prepare for the SAT standardized test. I am a firm believer that education lies at the heart of a fulfilling and successful life and I strive to instill these values in all the students that I teach. In my spare time, I enjoy reading,...
