Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Akron, OH

...to do better for them. I continued my teaching journey through both my masters degrees as a Teaching Assistant and taught many subjects including: mathematics, programming, design thinking, statistics and even 3d printing. I also informally guide students through their university applications, provide inputs on their essays, and give them insights into how the admissions process works. I enjoy teaching physics and mechanical engineering concepts because it allows me to present some unique examples that...

...time to explain something complicated to someone, has always been my calling. In my high school and college years, I would often struggle understanding concepts because I had this attitude that things were "hard"; that that was just the way it was. As I learned to teach myself and my peers when we would study, I realized that these barriers many of us have are artificial and that understanding and applying difficult concepts, from reactions...

My passion is to be able to allow students to experience the STEM field without the struggle. I want them to be able to enjoy and learn about their favorite topics without hating it. I believe STEM is an amazing field filled with so many opportunities. Students only need to be handed the correct resources to be successful in it. With the correct tutoring and motivation, anyone can come to love learning!

...found that tutoring students and helping them to better prepare for tests as well as instilling in them better time management strategies and goal oriented philosophies gave me immense pleasure. I discovered that many students learn concepts in completely different ways. Therefore I had to adapt my teaching style to better fit each student. And that is precisely what my tutoring style is. I can figure out what each student is lacking or what the...

...biases exist everywhere, even in subjects seeming as concrete as science. It's fun to peel back the layers of why or how something was written or "discovered." In my tutoring, I prioritize open and honest communication. I welcome all types of feedback. I want to make sure each student is connecting to the material in the way that works best for their unique learning style. I don't show or tolerate any form of disrespect or...

Being a student I understand the struggle to learn new subjects, skills, and software. This year alone I have learned two new coding languages, two new game engines, and three new art software. My philosophy is even if I may not know the problem or understand what is the solution immediately, I can work tirelessly to find the best answer.

...me as a person. Communication and understanding, especially in the sciences is as important as it is sometimes difficult. Ultimately, I think that all students have their lives enriched by truly understanding the materials in all subjects, even ones that don't at first appear to be the ones that attract them. I hope that, by tutoring, I can help bring this joy to a few people who might not see it otherwise.

...teaching can revolutionize a student's grades, and, more importantly, their self-image, which is why I sought out a position at VarsityTutors to begin with. Successful and productive interactions with students not only helps them grow exponentially, but frequently teaches me new things as well, and it's precisely this back-and-forth nature of learning that seems to really make a difference in a student's academic career. I would love to be given the opportunity to produce this...

...and if that doesn't work, find a way to narrow down the kind of thinking they use/need. I believe that trust between the tutor and the student is also important. Trust that I will not ridicule you for asking any question you need or have the need to go over things multiple times or in different ways. The most important thing is that the student understands the content and does not just memorize it! I...

My commitment to student success is rooted in the belief that learning can expand students' imagination and connect them with life-changing opportunities. My approach to teaching is to build confidence, inspire creativity, and encourage curiosity. I love it when students ask questions, and I...

...so I always start my tutoring sessions by first trying to learn what the student's strengths and weaknesses are. After allowing them to work through and explain a few problems in front of me, I try to tailor an individualized teaching method to best suit each student's specific needs. While my methods may not be the perfect match for every student out there, I can promise that I will always be a patient, diligent, and...
