Physics is one of my top subjects!

I am particularly looking for younger students, ranging from completely new to chess or the beginner looking to make advancements to the next level. I am prepared to offer the student plenty of my time and dedication; I will teach them the rules, standard opening theory, endgame theory, tactical concepts, and of course strategy in the middlegame. I will present them with grandmaster games, and show them the winning logic behind moves. If they wish, I will be glad to review and analyze any games that they played with them and optionally with computer assistance.
Hello, my name is Alan Reyes. I am a 19 year old college student attending the University of Florida for a BS in Physics and Astronomy. I have been playing chess for 5 years and have placed first in my section in the Jacksonville Open and two years running in the Sunshine Summer Opens 2013 and 2014. I also placed first in my ... read more

Learning is a life long process

Have years of experience teaching my siblings their course work including math(algebra + geometry), physics, chemistry, biology. To stimulate mind often provided puzzles; crosswords and scrabble to increase vocabulary. Worked on a variety of course related projects in school as well as college. Mostly a self taught learner, and taught most of my friends before the exams during college on all subjects.
Encourage self learning as stimulation of mind is utmost necessary.

My comments on tutoring Physics : Physics was one of my strongest classes next to chemistry and I never made below an A on an exam. I can break the subject matter down into easily digestible bites, physics is easy once you learn to decipher it.

I graduated from Berry College in May of 2021. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelors in Science with Honors. My major was Animal Science with a minor in chemistry. I have worked on several research projects that are in the process of publication or being prepared for publication. I never made anything below an A on my physics and chemistry classes. My specialty is in animal science, chemistry, and physics. However, I can teach lower to middle level mathematics. I am currently enrolled as a first year veterinary student at the University of Florida.
I am a very personable teacher and I like to modify my teaching approach to each student. I also employ a variety of disciplines to help facilitate a better understanding of the subject being learned.

Physics is one of my top subjects! Physics is right up there with Chemistry and Calculus as one of the most challenging courses that college students face as they enter their freshmen year. However, this subject has perhaps the greatest reward associated with success: Learning physics is the technical equivalent of learning to speak Latin. Although it is rare to find a career that deals with physics in its purest, and most direct form, physics is the language which informs all sciences. Every technical subject that has ever been taught in any school is directly linked to physics - it either informs physical principals (i.e. Calculus) or can be derived from them (i.e. Chemistry). Therefore, I take great pride in my knowledge of Physics, and spare no effort to ensure that you (or your student) understand the principals therein... It is that important of a subject!

Greetings one and all! My name is Tristan, and I am a recent graduate of the University of Florida's College of Engineering as of August 2012. I graduated with a Bachelor of Sciences degree in Nuclear Engineering and a cumulative GPA of 3.25 (and I will tell you that I earned every point of it). I am looking forward to using my knowledge and proficiency in various fields of math and science to make your four year slog through the rigors of academia as palpable as possible. I offer flexible hours, friendly demeanor, and a patient approach to tutoring that caters to your individual skill set. All of this comes at a reasonable price, which can of course be negotiated to suit your budget (remember, I was once a broke college student too). In short: I work with you, for you, and on your terms! I offer tutelage in many technical disciplines: Math, Science, and Engineering are my b ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been tutoring people of various ages since 7th grade. In high school I took 15 AP exams and passed the majority of them. I am currently a college student studying chemical engineering and I have good study habits. I enjoy tutoring people and work well with either one on one, group, or online tutoring.
My style reflects what helps the student best from visual to through verbal explanations.

More About This Tutor...

I really like working with children from low income families. I think each child has a different interest and way of learning. I try to discover these learning styles before I begin the tutoring process. I try to allow them to be comfortable and having fun during our sessions. Most of the time I do a lot of question/conversation responses to allow them to find the answer for themselves. I like a problem based learning style, even for the youngest of children. I not only want to teach them how to properly concur their learning material but how to find the information they need if they do not know the answer. Additionally, I want them to have fun and enjoy quality time with a supportive mentor and gain an enthusiasm for school.
I have a B.S in Animal Biology. I have had to take extensive science and math courses. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with childre ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching because it allows me to contribute to a student's understanding of invaluable concepts which will improve and enrich their lives. I am sociable and easy to talk to, and I remember what it was like being in school and struggling with difficult concepts. All students can learn, and I believe that the key is finding a way for each individual student to personally relate to the material. If difficult concepts can be presented in a way that is tailored to each student's specific needs and interests, their potential may be reached.
As a graduate of the University of Florida, I earned two bachelor's degrees. My double major, Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering, provided me with a thorough understanding of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. I also have a solid foundation in grammar and technical writing, due to the need for extensive explanation of diff ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very enthusiastic tutor and, as I stated in the previous section, believe teaching in such a way that the student gains a true mastery of the given subject. In a sense, I believe in each student understanding a particular concept in their own unique way that is consistent with their unique thinking processes. I strive to do this by relating a given concept analogously to something the student already fundamentally understands. I also create new problems to solve that probe the students’ progress and comprehension. I try to make these problems as realistic as possible to make them interesting to the student.
Being a Ph.D. candidate and appointed research assistant, I very much realize the importance of true comprehension of a subject. Not only do I hold two B.S. degrees in Applied Mathematics and Chemical Engineering but I also carry credits to the equivalent of a Non-Th ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate of the University of Florida, I studied Physics and played football as well. Earning a Bachelors degree in Physics, I studied all levels of Calculus, Differential equations, linear algebra, thermal physics, electromagnetism, chemistry 1 and 2, mechanics, quantum mechanics, and many other classes. Therefore, I am very skilled in the areas of math and science.
I am more capable as a teacher and mentor to students in middle school and high school. While I have a lot of experience with elementary students, I find my best impact on middle and high school students. I like to use the Socratic method in which I try to make the student answer there own question, by posing other logical questions in which they can deduce the resolution.

Physics has given me a new outlook on life, as it has given me the ability to look at the world from different perspectives. It had challenged me intellectually, as it caused me to think critically. Classes covering the full spectrum of physics such as electrodynamics, cosmology, stellar astrophysics, mechanics, thermal/statistical physics, optics, and quantum mechanics greater increased my curiosity in this field of study, as the possibilities of knowledge was endless. I decided that as a future scientist, I wanted to share my passion of physics and mathematics with others. During my undergraduate education, I tutored for four years at the Physics Tutorial center in my department where I taught students physics, math, and computer science.
From my experience as a tutor, confidence plays a big factor in the student’s ability to learn. When I am with a student, I constantly make ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I respect children because I find I can learn just as much from them as they can from me. I believe an important step in becoming a good student is self-confidence; because of this, I try to be as motivating and encouraging as possible to my students. I also try to make learning fun, highlighting how interesting a certain concept may be or how practical it is to daily life. I am patient and friendly, so that students can feel comfortable with me and not feel shy to tell me when they do not understand something. My goals are 1) to help students enjoy learning and 2) to help students realize that with hard work and dedication they can accomplish their goals.
Through hard work and diligence, I have been able to achieve my academic and career goals; I enjoy helping young students achieve their goals by imparting the study skills and knowledge I have learned. I completed a math, sc ... read more
