Laurie
Special Educator
Hi everyone! I am excited to be able to tutor again. I tutored students from kindergarten to adults looking to take GED classes. I did this for several years while in college studying for my Criminal Justice degree. While tutoring, I was offered a position working in an elementary school with children who have learning disabilities. I fell in love seeing how each child learned differently. Working with children opened my creative mind to help every child, not just children in my classroom, l... Read more

Alex
Award-Winning & Patient Organic Chemistry/Chemistry Teacher (11+ yrs)
I have taught and tutored Organic Chemistry 1 and 2, as well as Chemistry (all levels), for the past 11+ years, having the pleasure of meeting, getting to know, and teaching hundreds of students. What I love about tutoring compared to teaching is the ability to work one-on-one at the pace the student needs. I am not always able to work one-on-one as a teacher, but being one helps me be flexible and know how to meet the needs of all types of students. I have received numerous awards for tea... Read more

Reyniak
Patient & effective chemistry and math tutor
My experience as a graduate TA has allowed me to obtain a lot of experience teaching general and organic chemistry. Each year I look forward to seeing the students do well in the course and often employ the use of metaphors, examples, and models in order to make chemistry less mysterious and ensure understanding of the material. My knowledge of the material allows me to explain the information simply yet adequately using basic principles. Students can then be led to build upon these basics to... Read more

Similarly, over the past 50 years with NASA and in retirement many o... Read more
Vidya
Math Educator for 15 years
I have taught math for the past 15 years at an all-girls, Catholic high school, and currently teach at a co-ed independent school in DC. I have absolutely loved being a teacher in a subject that most students shy away from and completely understand that some students need a one-on-one approach to help them understand concepts that they cannot easily grasp in a classroom setting. I understand that students need to feel comfortable to learn math, and they also need to trust their teacher. I ... Read more
