After graduating from high school with my diploma from the International Baccalaureate Program in 2013, I moved on to pursue my Bachelor's degree in Astrophysics with a minor in philosophy at CU Boulder. Thanks to credits I received from the IB program, I was able to complete a five year degree in only three. Following my graduation in 2016, I spent a summer researching quantum chemistry at Harvard, before moving back to Colorado the following year. I have been tutoring full-time both in person and online since 2018. My teaching experience has spanned over a decade, with students of all ages, from 3 to over 63. From martial arts in high school, to astronomy in college, and now to academics, I love teaching because it is the best vehicle I know to learn more about the world. The reason I work as a full-time tutor is because I cherish the freedom and flexibility it gives, and I want to fill in the gaps for students left from public education by working with students one on one. Through my experience I have been able to not only sharpen the skills I learned in school growing up, I have also been able to stay up to date with the education system in the United States and abroad as it has evolved since my graduation. I love meeting new people and building rapport with my clients. Being invited into people's homes is a humbling and personal experience, and I never want to take that for granted.

I now have over 4 years of tutoring experience with over 400 students in 4 continents. I have covered a wide range of topics with my students, including Literature, History, Essay Editing, and Economics, however I have primarily focused on science and mathematics. I have tutored everything from Algebra and Geometry to Calculus, High School Chemistry, Paleontology, Astronomy and Physics for High School and University, covering Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism. Some of my students have been non-science majors simply filling in a course requirement, some have majored in STEM, some in engineering, and others have just bee

Everything you could ask for in a tutor.

I went to Ariel for help with Calculus 2, I was really struggling with the concepts at the beginning so I reached out and immediately improved my understanding with his help. But later on in the class I was still having problems and I was wondering if I should drop but Ariel reassured me that I could still pass so we kept going. Two months later instead of panicking for the Final, I was pretty relaxed because he prepared me so well. A class I was worried about failing turned out to be my highest grade of the semester which is what you can expect when tutoring with Ariel. As someone who never had a tutor before I can say he is everything you would want from one. Flexible, knowledgeable, and consistent I could not have asked for a better tutor to get me through the semester. I succeeded with his help and you can too.

Proud of you Chandler!

phenomenonal tutor

Ariel helped me with physics. He is very good at manipulating the equations and showing how they work. He has an extensive knowledge of many topics. He is very patient and flexible. As a student he allows you to send questions to help in between sessions. He is very intelligent and a pleasure to work with.

Helpful and challenges me to use the tools learned to solve problems

He was great! He helped me learn new tools, and provided outside sources to review prior to our session to help withthe material we discussed. But I think what is the most helpful is that he doesn't just solve the problems for me, which I have had tutors do in the past, and I have learned nothing come exam day. He actually allows me to apply the material to the questions being asked, so that I have the ability to apply the same material to similar questions on my exams. 100 percent would use again 🥳
