Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Kirkland, WA

...for them. What works or makes sense for one student will not necessarily work for the next student, and so it is essential as a tutor to be able to explain the same concept in a variety of different ways and to be able to determine when a student has fully grasped the concept. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and pets, working on creative activities such as drawing and writing,...

...both high school and college includes formal and informal tutoring. Much of the aforementioned experience pertains to one-on-one or small-group tutoring. In addition to enjoying tutoring, I also enjoy seeing my students succeed. In middle school, I struggled to find motivation in the field of mathematics, as many of my teachers didn't spend enough time supporting me and their other students. Only in high school did I grow very interested in math, as my teachers...

Hello! My name is Brendon Davis and I am a student at the University of Washington. I am studying molecular biology and I hope to some day do research on diseases. Learning is a passion of mine, and I love to share understanding and ideas through tutoring!... When I both learn and teach, my goal is to make connections between various subjects and one's own experiences. By sewing a thread through various concepts and into other...

...amazing because it is so experimental and complex, but once understood truly fascinating and question-inducing. Math and analytical writing are a close second and third. Math, in my opinion, is great because (with a few exceptions) there are no if, buts, or maybes. Math is a dependable, rule-following subject, and that's why I like it. Though this may seem hard to believe, I have found that writing too can really be mastered by following some...

...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 learn anything as long as it is explained in a way that is conducive to them,...

...Electrophysiology. I recently moved to Seattle with my husband who is a new professor at the University of Washington. I enjoy teaching and working with students, and up until our recent move to Seattle, I have had the luxury of being surrounded by them while studying or working in various academic environments. Tutoring now provides me with the one-on-one teaching experience that I enjoy so much. My strong background in Chemistry and Biology and my...

...can be better able 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...

...effective study skills while juggling school, basketball, and a part-time job. I am very passionate about Biology and any sub-category of Biology, but I also have a strong background in Chemistry and Statistics. Last year I was a mentor for at-risk teens at our local middle school. I really enjoyed the experience. I enjoy connecting with youth and it was very special to me to get to make a difference in a teen's life by...

...with a major in philosophy and a minor in mathematics at the University of Washington, I was fortunate to be exposed to very different learning and teaching styles. I also learned to appreciate that very smart people can think in very different ways from each other and that people who are outstanding at some subjects inevitably need help with others. I always bring this insight to bear on tutoring, where I work together with the...

...out the similarity between that difficult subject you're struggling with and a concept that you already know and are strong in to click on that lightbulb of comprehension. My life's passion is to do just this: to make STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields more accessible to more people, especially those who don't think they're up to the task. I am passionate about our biology, our oceans, our environment, and educating about them. I...

...understanding the material and the other half is understanding the test. These tests can seem overwhelming at first but I can offer advice on efficient ways to tackle problems so that you too can come out with your grade, and sanity, intact. I have personal experience in taking numerous AP classes including but not limited to AP Chemistry, AP Physics, AP Calculus, AP US History, AP US Government, and AP English. I also have extensive...

...lie in mathematics, science, 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...

...style is very relaxed and easy-going, although I typically challenge my students to understand mathematical and scientific principles in the context of real-world problems, and I encourage critical thinking and problem solving whenever possible. My primary academic interest is string theory, which tries to combine Einstein's theory of gravity and general relativity with quantum mechanics, the physics of the subatomic realm. One of my advantages as a math tutor, in particular, is that I have...

...did what I like to call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation or analogy to help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm applying to grad school now, and in my spare time I love cooking and baking (it's vaguely scientific, right?). I rowed in high school and college, so I know all about...

I have a passion for helping others set and exceed their personal goals. I believe learning is lifelong and is best achieved in an environment that is trusting, professional, and comfortable. I believe the right skills and confidences can change lives, and am ready to help contribute to that in any way possible!...

...visual analogies, I demystify the math between the atoms while not reinforcing memorization like many instructors. Because of my success, my students often told me that I should be the teacher. So I decided to do just that and am now on the fast track to become a high school Chemistry teacher. After college, I worked at a pathology company preparing and screening cytology specimens for the presence of cancer. While I found the work...

...have several years of experience as a science teacher, I actually prefer to tutor math. I think math is the foundation for many sciences and a solid understanding of math can lead to a better understanding of subjects like physics and chemistry. I think that education is based on building habits rather than falling into a pattern of getting behind then cramming. A lot of education is sequential and taking shortcuts doesn't always work. As...
