Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Catalina Foothills, AZ

...of Arizona to study engineering. My favorite subjects are math and Spanish. I also enjoy history. During high school, I took many AP courses, and earned at least 4 scores of a 5 (I have yet to hear back about 4 tests). I am a national merit finalist. I have tutored my peers and underclassmen in the past, generally in math, and they told me that it greatly helped them. In my free time, I...

...engineer and graduated with a bachelor's and master's of biomedical engineering from Arizona State University. I recently completed three years of my MD curriculum and am now returning to tutoring during my MBA studies. I struggled throughout high school until finally preparing for the SAT and ACT, so I'm adept with picking up just what you're struggling with - I was there once, too. Now having performed in the upper 10% of all standardized exams...

...to explain curriculum. I really enjoy establishing relationships with each one of my students, each student knew me in a different way. After I became an undergrad, I found myself committing to several different roles as a mentor to students in my high school. Working with high school students came to me naturally, I soon established a role as a paraprofessional at my old high school. My focus was primarily geared towards students who were...

I recently completed grad school with a degree in geology. I have a broad background in the physical science and math. I look forward to helping you out with standardized tests, math through calculus, chemistry, and physics.... Anyone can master any subject with enough time and the right teacher.... I ask the student what they think they are having issues with and work through some general practice problems to try and determine exactly what subjects need...

I am a teacher who is absolutely obsessed with history. I do a lot of free time/free choice reading about many different historical topics and time periods. My degree is in history. I love historical movies and TV shows. I love to teach history! I also have a big interest in politics and government as well, I have a degree in it and love watching the news! I have ten years experience tutoring students in...

...also have extensive interest in English. I took the most amount of English courses I could in high school, and so I have way too much experience writing those standard 5 paragraph essays. In college, I learned how to take those basic rhetorical skills and apply them in ways that were new and less standardized. I genuinely enjoy editing papers because I love seeing someone get their arguments across in ways they thought they couldn't....

...a strong foundation for future concepts. I also believe that students should not expect to be spoon-fed answers by a tutor, but instead should utilize the tutor as a source for guidance. I am very easy-going and patient, and will take as much time as is needed to help my students understand all that is required of them to know. Outside of academia, I enjoy reading, traveling, watching movies, telling jokes, and hanging out with...

...the topic by relating it to real-world examples. For example, when going over ionization energies for elements, they can be thought of in the same way as viewing a plane that is trying to reach orbit. The potential energy that increases with each subshell around the atom is synonymous with the energy that it would take for a plane to reach orbit from differing heights; the plane that tries to take off from the ground...

...their learning potential. My teaching philosophy centers on patience, active listening, and fostering critical thinking skills. I believe that every student learns differently, and I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. Whether it's through breaking down complex ideas into manageable parts or encouraging students to approach problems from different angles, my goal is to help students gain both understanding and confidence. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing tennis with friends and listening to...

Each person accumulates a different set of skills and specialities during their life. Rather than being afraid to look stupid, it is important to be eager to learn from others. I love spreading my knowledge in a casual environment, and using that to help others achieve their fullest potential!

...student fully understands the topic. My experience tutoring Math and Chemistry includes working with students of all ages from elementary to graduate level. In my opinion, confidence is key when learning a new subject. Im comfortable with helping students of all ages learn the subject matter to promote confidence and understanding that helps in future learning, not memorization. I have teaching experience in the following courses: CHM80: Principles of General Chemistry, CHM151/152: General Chemistry for...

...with a B.S.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Arizona State University. I was originally an aerospace engineer before I changed my major to mechanical engineering due to its increased versatility. I moved to Tucson to work as a systems engineering for Raytheon in June 2015. Engineering and tutoring are both equally part of my career to better the world. I interned at Aviation Communications and Surveillance Systems (ACSS): An L-3 Communications & Thales Company for a...

...is my favorite subject to tutor, as it marked the point in my academic career where I began to actually enjoy math. My tutoring style is one that values fundamental understanding and critical thinking. I would rather a student walk away with a deeper understanding of their material, rather than a list of memorized steps. On a more personal note, when I am not pursuing math and science, I spend my time geeking out with...

I graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelors of Science in Biology. I tutor math, biology, and chemistry. In my experience, I have tutored college students in college algebra and mentored high school students to guide them in successfully applying to college. My goal is to help the student develop skills in critical thinking and problem solving. I believe developing these skills in combination with guidance in completing assignments and studying for exams...

I am an in-home and online tutor specialized in Algebra I and Environmental Science. I have a BA in Biochemistry and Environmental Studies with a specialization in chemistry. I inspire to work with students to find their best learning methods and am open to suggestions in tutoring style from both parents and students. I encourage students to develop strategies in problem solving in order for them to be well prepared for independent learning and studying.

I studied physiology at the University of Arizona and graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelors of Science in Health Sciences. I am an aspiring physician with specific interest in preventative health. My greatest goal as an instructor is to help students succeed academically so they may achieve their dreams--whatever those may be.... Getting to know students, their academic background, and their learning style is the first step. I tailor my approach to what suits the...

My specialties are math and physics. I consider myself a quality tutor because I always ensure a student understands the details of the current material. I'm very motivated as a teacher and my schedule is flexible enough to make accommodations for students.

Experience includes over ten years of lab and field based applications of chemistry, biology, and engineering principles to help achieve environmental quality standards. I have held project management positions responsible for the development and execution of standard operating procedures, health and safety plans, data collection, analysis, and summarization. Analyses and research has been conducted on regulated and emerging organic and inorganic contaminants in soils, submerged sediments, drinking water, wastewater, surface water and ground water systems...

...and I was a student tutor for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry I and II. Since college, I've spent time as a volunteer tutor for high school and middle school students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
