Daniel
NYS certified chemistry teacher available for individualized tutoring
I have a B.S. in Chemistry from SUNY Geneseo. I made the decision to study chemistry because I have a sincere interest in understanding the world around us.

I've spent some time teaching this great subject as a NYS certified public school teacher, and was able to help my students develop greater appreciation and understanding of it. In chemistry, I have found that a visual... Read more

Mahilet
Math, science, and Chemical Engineering Tutor - academic coach
I love explaining concepts and developing my students’ problem-solving skills rather than only teaching methods that apply to one kind of problem. Improving my students’ comprehension about a subject they struggle with is my goal. I have found success by encouraging my students to relate what they learn in class to their everyday life. I often challenge my students to look at scientific problems in new ways, such as how redox reactions and their favorite plated jewelry are related, how the id... Read more

Let Me Help You Succeed
Empathy with you, my student, is paramount. I make it clear from the beginning that I care for you, that I want you to master whatever we are studying together, that I will work hard to find and use your best paths to knowledge. A bit of subject-matter-related humour often helps. I have high expectations when I work as a tutor but I will never make my students suffer. I am an intellectually curious person; I play to whatever degree of intellectual curiosity I find in students. I aim to m... Read more

Come down with a bad case of Math?

I start by finding the main culprit to this distress, and start solving problems for the student. Not math problems, but base problems in their understanding. After some skill building and drilling on the right areas we ... Read more
