Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors serving Pittsburgh, PA

...an experience within a classroom environment is especially possible in subjects like mathematics and the physical sciences, by facilitating a working knowledge of contemporary issues in the science through articulation of real-world examples and providing opportunity for hands-on problem solving through exercises. Scientists, leaders and instructors effectively teach when they simultaneously impart information and nurture an environment that offers students the opportunity to discover a new subject while maintaining a channel for continuous closed-loop feedback,...

I'm a Senior at Carnegie Mellon University, majoring in Civil Engineering. I love being outdoors, playing sports, watching movies, and ballroom dancing. I believe that building a supportive and comfortable relationship between a tutor and a student is the best way to make sure that we can achieve your goals together. I can't wait to get to know you!

...of high level math and statistics. I joined several study groups and learned the importance of teaching my fellow students in order to gain a more concrete understanding of the material myself. After graduation, I had the opportunity to work for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration collecting data at sea and wrangling data from the internet. I also volunteered to assist a math class at an alternative high school once a week. This taught...

...Dallas, I received my B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Rice University in Houston, TX before moving to Pittsburgh to pursue graduate education in chemical and petroleum engineering. Bilingual and well-traveled, I primarily teach STEM topics at the high school and undergraduate level, but I also provide tutoring for test prep, language arts, and more. I teach a diverse range of students from the United States, Europe, Latin America, and Africa, providing each with a unique...

...to help my students to understand these core principles of math and science, because the ability to figure things out from just a few ideas is the most beautiful and elegant concept in the fields. In my spare time, I love to play music. I have played the cello for over 20 years, and I played it in a rock band, Kalon, for a decade. I also like to read a variety of fiction and...

...my name is Michael. I recently graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. My tutoring strengths are in Mathematics, Computers, and Sciences. I am enthusiastic about teaching and have a background in instructing students of all ages.

...a rising Sophomore studying Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. I graduated at James E. Taylor High School as rank 7 out of over 600 students and swam for my high school swim team for 4 years. Currently, I'd say I'm most experienced in math and science and above average in English and would feel most comfortable teaching any of these subjects. I'm welcome to any other subjects and will try to provide the best...

...different students with a wide age range. I've tutored adult students who haven't been in the classroom for years that need refreshers. I've tutored typical college age students in high level mathematics classes. I've also have had Middle School and High School students. With a wide age range comes a lot of different learning styles and needs. Which has given me the skills to explain and adapt to different learning styles.

I want to help show how wonderful math and science are and that anybody can learn it with the right help and some time.

I am a junior at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA studying in an accelerated bachelor in health science/ master in Physician Assistant Studies program.

My name is Khari, and I'm a recent graduate of Brown University, studying in Biomedical Engineering. I have a lot of experience with math, physics, biology and engineering, and a passion for writing as well. If you need help with school, either academically or just need someone who has been through college to help with either time management, social pressures or anything, I am willing to help!

...began tutoring unofficially my senior year in high school after my physics teacher asked me to help some of his freshman students. It became an incredibly rewarding experience, for these students that I stuck with for nearly the entire school year were able to boost their grade up and feel more confident in their work. Some of my hobbies include playing tennis, hiking, and watching reruns of "Malcolm in the Middle" (my all-time favorite TV...

...Spanish because I understand the difficulty to learning a new language (and keeping it!), so I tutor with the goal of ensuring the language becomes easier to retain. The value of education and knowledge is truly priceless and key to a future filled with opportunities to explore, experience, and grow. As such, I aspire to set all my students on this path. During my spare time, I relax by doing art, mainly photography, as a...

...been tutoring and teaching a wide range of students, from high schoolers to university students, for 8 years now. I hold a Master's degree in Kinesiology, and am passionate about education, health and fitness. I have an "A for effort" approach to teaching and am known to be an enthusiastic teacher by most of my students. I also have really high teacher ratings from both colleges I have taught at, and made it to Illinois...

I'm just trying to help kids get better at math and science. Whether it be algebra or calculus, I feel it is my personal duty to help whoever needs it improve their grade or their test score. I've had tremendous success tutoring these subjects in the past, and I'm confident that I can have similar results here in the future.

...interests. I know from the classmates whom I helped that an attentive and engaged instructor can change not only a student's performance, but also their confidence in the class. My favorite subjects to tutor are Calculus 1-3 and calculus based physics. These classes changed how I viewed math at its core, and its power to describe the world around us, and I enjoy helping students see that possibility in a class they might otherwise find...

I'm a graduate student studying physics. I enjoy teaching physics and math because they are subjects I love, and I want to pass on that excitement to others! I have a bachelors degree in physics with a minor in math from Bowdoin College, and a masters degree in physics from Carnegie Mellon University.

...if my eyes are ready yet. Once my eyes have dilated, the doctor examines the fluid behind my pupils for changes. After the examination is over, the bright lights and tests have stopped: I am exhausted. This is just a routine appointment for me because I was diagnosed with Sticklers' Syndrome at age 5. Since then, I have been continually surrounded by medicine. My own routine appointments in addition to other family members' medical experiences...

...Sophomore at Carnegie Mellon University, studying Applied Physics with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. Over this summer, I am a research assistant for the Tristam-Nagle Biophysics Lab performing measurements of lipid density and volume. I have always enjoyed learning and spreading that knowledge to others. I'm very enthusiastic to practice this love for learning and teaching by aiding others in their studies through Varsity Tutors! My background in Science and Mathematics makes these subjects my...

...however, it is often easy for busy students and even teachers running behind schedule to allow the reasoning and deduction to fall by the wayside in favor of a memorized algorithm for solving certain problems. Fundamentally, mathematics is an art of deriving new knowledge from what we already know, so my philosophy for teaching and tutoring mathematics is primarily concerned with the "why" of problems. The quadratic formula is useful, but if you cannot derive...
