Experience
Specializing in Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, SAT Math For more information, visit http://www.masterofchemistry.com. I instill a deep level of understanding of the material that will not only prepare the student for tests, but also elucidate how to apply these concepts to real world problems and build upon this knowledge in future classes. I concentrate on improving your mental flexibility about how to apply the rules to the system. Once understood, you can apply this method to most math and science problems. I seek to I encourage an appreciation for the material, sometimes with puns and jokes. I am more of an academic coach than a tutor. I am always available by phone or email for any questions. I will rarely just give the answer; I prefer to walk you toward the solution and assist you past your weak points. I am excellent at finding the piece of information or logic that allows everything to flow for you. I customize each lesson for the way you think. I relate the material to things you already understand and show how it is interconnected. I often make up examples using your hobbies and interests and can even show you how certain equations affected history or art. After an adequate level of understanding is achieved, I focus on nuances in the material for speed on tests and implications to our daily lives that flow from taking the concepts to their natural conclusions. I enjoy seeing that moment when something the student was struggling with becomes easy. If you ever think you do not understand the material much better after one of our meetings, there is no charge. I passed the rigorous 8 hour long Fundamentals of Engineering Exam(FE) which tested every math and science topic I offer and some. I started tutoring Calculus, Physics Latin, and Chemistry in 2002. I can show you the simplicity in what you formerly considered was madness like I have for so many. A member of the Brooklyn Tutor Collective at www.BrooklynTutorCo.com
