I've tutored calculus-based physics (including mechanics, electricity and electromagnetism, optics, heat, and modern physics) for about two years. I regularly tutored sophomore college students that were struggling with the understanding of the main concepts underlying a problem. I personally learned that, in order to achieve a great understanding of the physical concepts surrounding a problem, you need to play with the math tools that you have under your control and arrange them using your common physical sense. That common physical sense, everyone has it, but it needs to be addressed by a me [more]
I have taught Physics for a number of years, starting in the 1970s! The syllabus I taught in the UK was teaching General Relativity (it's about time!), Statistical thermondynamics (why heat goes from hot to cold), a bit of quantum theory (wave particle duality, photoelectric effect) as well as the more traditional content (materials, forces, electricity, magnetism, radioactivity), to high school students. Understanding Math will help! Currently I am a teacher of Chemistry and Physics at a CA High School. Previously I have been an educational professional for 40 years, starting as a teacher of [more]
I have a Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience/Biopsychology, as well as a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. I have taught and tutored students in many different capacities over the past 12 years. I have taught undergraduate university courses in psychology, neuroscience, neurobiology laboratory, and statistics as both a graduate student and professor. I currently teach undergraduate college courses in biological psychology and research methods & statistics. I have tutored graduate, undergraduate, sec... [more]
Hello! My name is Jason, I'm a senior in mechanical engineering at Stanford University. As a tutor, I want to help you worry less about the topics that are giving you trouble. I will do everything I can to help you excel - with less stress! Fundamentally, I believe building your understanding of the material is the best way to both build your confidence (and therefore stress less!), and allow you to excel. "Improving understanding" might sound really obvious as an approach, but the truth i... [more]
Hi all, I am a tutor with over 15 years of experience, teaching and tutoring mathematics. I love that ah ha moment when a student gets it. I strongly believe that there is more than one way to get the answer to any problem, and I try to help my students see the one that is easiest for them. I have my Bachelors in Mathematics from California State University Channel Islands. I worked for more than 12 years at Ventura College with their tutoring program first, where I tutored all of th...

Hi! I've been a tutor since high school, though my first paying tutoring gig turned up after I'd graduated and moved away for college. I've worked at college tutoring centers, private academies, and independently. My experience at tutoring centers was as a drop-in tutor -- students could arrive at the tutoring center without having made an appointment to get help with their homework, prepare for a quiz or exam, or master a particularly difficult lesson. At the private academy, I was an SAT i... [more]
