Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Bellevue, WA

...currently attending pharmacy school at VCU to pursue a career as a pharmacist. During my time at Virginia Tech, I have tutored elementary and middle school students in science and math. A true sense of reward comes from teaching young students. Most of my students struggled and were often afraid to say what they thought because of the fear of being wrong. As a tutor and mentor, my role is to create a comfortable learning...

...I make sure to match your schedule the best I can! I'm always happy to share cool travel stories. Just graduated college with honors in Chem and Math. Now an online tutor. The flexible schedule means I can travel and have waaaaaay more awesome hobbies than any one man should be allowed to have, basically Indiana Jones! If Indy were a barefoot chemist, and also a future carny... Anyway I really enjoy nerding out about...

...adults. I come from a long line of teachers on both sides of my family. Above all, I bring compassion to my work. I have a learning disability which makes me gifted in some areas, but very slow in others. This disconnect made my educational journey a long and difficult one. I understand the thrill of success, but also the despair and discouragement that comes with failure. I know how hard it can be to...

Every student is different and so are their learning styles and preferences. My goal is to make the subject I am...

...of becoming a doctor this summer. In college, I was a teacher's assistant for three courses (twice for Medical Bacteriology and once for Anatomy and Physiology). This gave me the chance to share my knowledge with my fellow students and to help guide their studies. I also had the great opportunity to play basketball for my college and learned many effective study skills while juggling school, basketball, and a part-time job. I am very passionate...

...to understand it. I know this because I also grew up not liking Math but ironically ended up teaching it. I believe you need to be patient and understand the student's strengths and weakness in order to effectively teach Math to students. Relating Math to real life examples can make it more interesting and fun for students. I believe my tutoring/teaching experience and desire in teaching math would be beneficial for the student. I love...

...National Tsing Hua University, which is one of the best universities in Taiwan. Currently I am applying to the Applied Physics program for graduate school. I have experience tutoring visually impaired students in both math and physics aging from 11 to 16. Throughout the years, I have developed a style of bringing experiments into tutoring. I believe that combining real world with the textbook helps students understanding the concepts of math and physics.

...a mutualistic symbiosis between a host cnidarian (Anthopleaura elegantissima) and unicellular algae. The algae live inside the hosts gastrodermal cells and translocate photosynthetic carbohydrates to the host anemone. In return, the alga is protected within the host tissue and gains valuable nutrients from the host's metabolic wastes. The most unique aspect of this symbiosis is that there can be two different species of unicellular algae that inhabit the host's cell, a chlorophyte and a dinoflagellate....

...social studies. Furthermore, I have experience tutoring and laboratory assisting, both of which involved guiding peers to a greater understanding of course material and eventually success. Science is my favorite subject, sounds broad but it is true, I have honestly enjoyed all my science classes. From general biology, to genetics, from ecology, to biostatistics, I like it all. Science is amazing because it is so experimental and complex, but once understood truly fascinating and question-inducing....

...years, I returned to school at the age of 30 to study music theory. While fulfilling the degree requirements, I found that I had been mistaken, and I was in fact capable of achieving a level of academic success which I had never believed possible. I have since graduated from Skagit Valley College with an AA in Music and an AA in art, and from the University of Washington with a BS in Electrical Engineering....

Math has always been my favorite topic in school. Over the last 5 years, I have enjoyed applying my quantitative reasoning skills towards an exciting career in electrical engineering. I look forward to helping others overcome their academic challenges and inspiring others to have a passion for mathematics.

...as the student needs. Asking for help is not indicative of stupidity or weakness, nor is failing to comprehend a topic the first time it is broached. I work with students to help them determine the learning style that works best for them. I have never been a fan of memorizing facts, so whenever possible I like to tackle concepts in a manner that will explain the “why.” In my own learning I find I...

...familiar with. For instance, students have trouble visualizing ionic movements and how these movements relate to the establishment of resting membrane potential. I turn myocytes/neurons into banks and ions into dollars. Students understand money and can relate that concept to ionic gradients and movements. While it may sound silly, ions as dollars, but it is an effective means of concept visualization for the students. To be an effective instructor I rely on my creativity and...

I am passionate about tutoring and about making students love learning.

Through all my years in academia, I have had many experiences as an instructor, tutor and mentor. I TAd extensively for the organic chemistry curriculum in graduate school and was the instructor for three graduate level and two...

...and ACT test prep areas. Having struggled myself the first time I took standardized tests, I understand that even with a solid knowledge foundation tests like the ACT require a substantial amount of exam specific preparation. While my engineering background provides me the opportunity to tutor more advanced math, science, and engineering subjects, I enjoy helping students of all ages and ability levels learn. In my free time, I love to play sports, ski and...

...presentations of the material, and watch dozens of YouTube videos showing example problems. When I am tutoring, I often hear from students, "Oh, well you're a natural! You just 'get' all this math stuff." I love to watch their faces when I say that I used to hate math and actually failed Algebra 2 in high school. I never "got good" at math. I put in the right amount of effort to understand the material....
