Leonard

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +59 Subjects

I am a 23-year-old Columbia graduate with a real passion for teaching. I have been a tutor in both professional and volunteer capacities for nearly 10 years and have taught students ranging in age from second and third grade through college. I have classroom teaching experience as well and can adapt to both group and individual settings. I have taught students of all abilities in a wide variety of subjects. There is no confusion too small or problem too complicated that I cannot help with if not solve. I am exceptionally dedicated to my students; ensuring that they not simply memorize concepts or regurgitate facts but truly understand the material. I ask them to defend their answers which teaches them that the correct response is often less important than the reasoning used to reach said response. I honestly believe that anyone can learn anything given enough time and patience. I try my best to not only be a teacher but also a role model to my students and to interact with them as people not just clients. Most importantly, I believe that being challenging, but also patient and supportive yields the best results. I will always work my hardest to ensure that your student comes away learning the most that he or she can. Hobbies: art, movies, books, reading, music, writing

Blake

AP Statistics Tutor • +30 Subjects

I am an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt University, studying neuroscience and cognitive science in a double major, with a minor in saxophone performance. I have always had a fascination with the concept of understanding, which was a huge factor in the decision to be a neuroscience major. I am very interested in how people learn things, and how they understand the phenomena around them. Due to this fascination, I have spent many hours trying to figure out what makes certain learning techniques "better" than others, and I have become well versed in a variety of teaching styles. Personally, I learn through understanding, and try to teach others through that same understanding. In my spare time I like to practice piano, guitar, and, of course saxophone. I also love to sail, to read, and to draw when I have extra time. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, art, books

Tom

12th Grade math Tutor • +33 Subjects

I am firmly of the belief that learning a technical subject like chemistry, physics, or math is much like learning a foreign language: listening and reading is much easier than speaking and writing. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of believing that if you come to class and understand what the instructor is saying, you don't need to practice the material. Accordingly, I emphasize the need to practice "speaking" the language on a regular basis and to receive immediate feedback on one's learning. In my free time I enjoy woodworking and playing with Legos with my small children.

I'm now living in New York City pursuing a career in casting and producing theater. Although I have found my passion in the arts, I find great fulfillment tutoring math and science, because I think it's important for students to know they can succeed in these challenging subjects. I seek to develop an individual learning plan for each student, discovering the tools that will best help them succeed. My previous private tutoring clients have gone on to graduate at the top of their class. In addition, I am also an experienced SAT and ACT prep tutor.

Abrahim

Middle School Math Tutor • +81 Subjects

I am passionate about teaching because I understand greatly a lot of the academic struggles and problems students may face through education, especially as a first generation college student. Currently I am studying for my medical doctorate degree (M.D.) at the Medical College of Wisconsin. I graduated UCLA with a Biology degree with Asian Languages minor in 2019, cum laude honors. Both during my undergrad and days since, I had a chance to tutor private clients in Southern California and work for a few exam prep companies. I enjoy tutoring math, sciences (chemistry, biology mainly), social sciences (history, politics), essay writing, and Japanese. I also help assist in studying for standardized exams (SAT, ACT, SAT Subject, AP, MCAT, PCAT, OAT)! My tutoring style will be very direct in trying to identify gaps in knowledge and working/practicing on those gaps. I like to be interactive and answer the students' questions directly. I strongly believe education is one path in which students may be able to reach their dreams and I will be your supporter along the way. In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano, practicing martial arts, and watching anime/playing games.

Matt

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +43 Subjects

I am a firm believer that all students learn differently and identifying how each student best learns is essential to his/her academic success. Therefore, as a tutor, I aim to specifically tailor my teaching style to each student in order to help them maximize their potential. Outside of academics, I enjoy exercising, playing basketball, cooking, and attending concerts and other live performances in the Philadelphia area.

Benjamin

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +46 Subjects

I am a rising senior at Duke University in Durham, NC. When not passing my time sleeping outdoors waiting for assorted basketball tickets as a "Cameron Crazie," I study Evolutionary Anthropology with fortunate access to Duke's fascinating lemurs and primates. My aspiration since my matriculation at college has been to pursue medicine, and I have just recently finished piecing together my application for medical school. Naturally, having just finished studying for the MCAT, I have a particular expertise in science of all kinds ranging from Biology and Chemistry to Physics. However, having also taken many AP courses in high school, I have a thorough working knowledge in English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Spanish, and Psychology. I have tutored all throughout high school and also have previous experience working with Mad Science of Long Island teaching general concepts in science to younger students of ages between 5-12 years old. In my free time, I am an avid soccer player and music fanatic (particularly alternative/independent rock). I am extremely passionate about teaching (both my brother and mother are teachers) and truly look forward to sharing some of the tools I have developed along the road with others. I know personally of the successes and, unfortunately, failures that have faced me upon my academic path and believe my down-to-earth and empathetic style makes me uniquely well-suited to help others along theirs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Balancing equations is one of the most common sticking points in Honors Chemistry because it requires understanding both the rules and the underlying stoichiometry. A tutor can break down the process into manageable steps, starting with simple equations and building to more complex ones. More importantly, tutoring helps you develop a systematic approach rather than just memorizing patterns, so you can tackle unfamiliar equations with confidence.

Personalized instruction also lets tutors identify exactly where you're getting stuck—whether it's tracking atoms, choosing coefficients strategically, or applying the method to different reaction types—and address those specific gaps.

Lab work in Honors Chemistry requires mastery of both experimental technique and scientific reasoning. Tutors can help you understand the purpose behind each lab procedure, predict outcomes based on chemical principles, and write reports that go beyond just recording data—they teach you to analyze results and connect them back to theory.

For lab practicum exams, personalized instruction covers safe handling, proper technique, troubleshooting when things don't go as expected, and the scientific method itself. Tutors can simulate lab scenarios, help you practice calculations used in common experiments, and ensure you understand the 'why' behind each step.

The best approach is both—but understanding comes first. In Honors Chemistry, memorization without conceptual understanding leads to confusion when problems vary slightly or require you to apply knowledge in new ways. A tutor helps you build deep understanding of core concepts like atomic structure, bonding, thermodynamics, and kinetics so that formulas and facts make sense and stick naturally.

Once concepts are solid, strategic memorization of key formulas, the periodic table patterns, and reaction types becomes much easier and more efficient. This foundation also prepares you better for AP Chemistry or college-level chemistry, where the emphasis shifts even more toward reasoning.

Unit conversions and stoichiometry are skills that improve dramatically with guided practice and clear methodology. A tutor teaches you the dimensional analysis method—a systematic approach that works for every conversion problem—so you're not guessing or memorizing specific conversions. The key is understanding why the method works, not just following steps blindly.

With personalized instruction, tutors can walk you through problems at your pace, catch conceptual misunderstandings early, and help you build the problem-solving intuition that makes these calculations feel routine rather than overwhelming. Regular practice with feedback solidifies these skills quickly.

Visualizing abstract concepts like electron clouds, molecular orbitals, and 3D geometry is challenging but absolutely learnable. Expert tutors use multiple strategies to build your mental models—drawing Lewis structures step by step, using physical models, explaining VSEPR theory intuitively, and connecting geometry to properties like polarity and reactivity. Seeing these concepts explained multiple ways helps different learning styles click.

Personalized instruction also lets tutors identify which visualization techniques work best for you and focus on the specific concepts giving you trouble, whether that's hybridization, resonance structures, or coordinate bonding.

Honors Chemistry is the foundation for understanding how the physical world actually works—from why water dissolves salt to how batteries generate electricity to how medications interact with your body. Chemistry explains the 'why' behind phenomena you encounter daily, and mastering it opens doors to careers in medicine, engineering, materials science, environmental protection, and countless other fields.

A tutor can make these connections explicit, showing you how theoretical concepts like thermodynamics apply to cooking, how equilibrium principles explain ocean chemistry, or how redox reactions power cell phones. Making these links helps chemistry feel relevant and rewarding, not just abstract.

Results vary based on where you're starting and how consistently you engage, but students typically see meaningful improvement within 4-8 weeks of regular personalized instruction. Common gains include improved test scores, deeper conceptual understanding that makes new topics easier to learn, increased confidence tackling complex problems, and better lab performance.

The most significant improvement comes when tutoring combines content review with development of problem-solving skills and scientific reasoning. Rather than just drilling answers, you're building the thinking patterns that make chemistry click, which translates to sustained improvement across all assessments.
