Award-Winning AP Physics 2 Tutors serving Tacoma, WA

...the near future, but I have always enjoyed teaching. I started tutoring during my junior year of high school, finding that I had an aptitude for analogies that helped students learn the material. I tutor a large variety of 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...

...to the field of solar physics. One reason that I love physics is that no one understands everything about the subject right away. It’s a complicated science, and we all need help grasping some of its more difficult concepts. This leads to great bonding experiences where friends come together to solve challenging problems or to understand puzzling phenomena. As a tutor, I love the moment when a student finally understands a troublesome concept, and a...

It's about the love of art, then the skills will get there. I am always learning new things....

...with over 6 years of experience, I am passionate about sharing knowledge and simplifying complex coding concepts. My expertise in languages like Python, JavaScript, and SQL, combined with my experience in mentoring and technical writing, positions me to effectively teach and inspire students. I am dedicated to helping learners not only understand the fundamentals but also apply them in real-world scenarios, ensuring they develop the skills needed for success in the tech industry.

...projectile motion and the laws of kinematics. I want show the student how to learn independently. Giving them answers to problems will not help them. Besides tutoring, I enjoy activities relating to the outdoors. Thus includes camping, hiking, kayaking, canoeing and more! I also enjoy playing the guitar. Below is my promise of value: I authentically care about the safety of others, enjoy spending quality time ensuring knowledge is communicated as efficiently and effectively as...

...from MIT. At Kumon Math and Reading Center, I was quickly given the responsibilities of an assistant instructor, as my boss acknowledged my ability to teach, guide, prepare work packages, and grade work. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, as I felt a great pride and happiness in seeing each student improve. My boss would designate the most difficult students to me, whether in academic difficulty or in attitude, and I learned many ways to...

I want to work with you with a wide variety of examples and approaches so that we find what works for you. Helping you become overall a better student is my mission! I am aware of and practice a wide variety of approaches to different math problems. This allows me to...

...learning and teaching. Although I majored in geology, I enjoy english, science, and history. I try to make subjects relatable to everyone, using cooking, sports, or other analogies to break down complicated principles. I began as a teaching assistant my sophomore year at Brigham Young University. Since this time, I have performed as a teaching assistant for 14 University-level courses. I have also tutored students at all grade levels. I like to spend time with...

...and eager students to succeed. I tailor lesson plans to different learning styles and abilities. With the extra attention I give, my students consistently tell me they have learned more than they ever thought possible for themselves. Many of my students once nervous about math or science went on to major in these subjects in college with great success. They just had to get over fears and mental blocks. I have flexible hours and diverse...

...at college/university level. My experience and education lends to me having not only comprehensive understanding of Physics and Math, but also a deep understanding of how to present/explain in ways that make it easy to pick up the concepts and apply them to word problems. I focus on concepts as well as study skills and strategies for complex knowledge. I believe if I'm doing my job well, my students won't need me at some point...

Hello, My name is Erik Dassoff and I hold a master's degree in Food Technology from a leading Dutch University. I also have a strong academic track record, having all A's throughout K-12 and my undergraduate degree.

...a submarine veteran. For the last couple years, I worked for a medical device company building new robotic instrument prototypes. I've tutored privately off and on for about 10 years and I was a teacher's aide in college. Tutoring doesn't even feel like work to me because I enjoy it so much, even when students try to be difficult. I typically tutor algebra and calculus, which seem to be high in demand. My favorite subjects...

...not there was a time when math and I were not necessarily friends. It wasn't until college that I gave math an honest try and that was when it started to click. Once I actually sat down with the real intent to learn rather than memorize the material, I was able to begin learning and from there I just wanted to see how far math can go. Once I reached Complex Analysis, I decided I...

...approach, and I feel it should be the same for teaching and learning. Just memorizing formulas and numbers is challenging at best. However, if you learn the real principles, and how they apply to the real world then science and physics is fun. Part of my career has literally been to make science fiction concepts reality or prove with physics and science why they can't be done. I hope I can bring my experience in...

...to tutor other students in her class. Since then, I have been independently tutoring middle and high school students in math, chemistry, biology, physics, and with SAT/ACT Prep.
