Charles Spivey

Education:

Bachelor of Science, Chemistry and English, University of Virginia, 2018

Charles tutors students in grades 6-11 in all subject areas, including English Language Arts, Math, Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. He has an extensive background in computer programming and technical analysis, and has published several studies related to molecular biology. Due to his strong math and science background, he enjoys breaking down complex problems in order to make the content accessible to students at all levels of ability.

Charles says: “My teaching philosophy centers on helping students develop genuine confidence and curiosity. I believe the most effective learning happens when students feel supported enough to challenge themselves and excited enough to explore ideas and technical ability outside the classroom. I aim to help students not only master the material, but also apply their understanding to real world problems and opportunities, and have a better sense for how people apply mastery in a subject to future studies and to careers. I come to tutoring with a sincere joy for helping people and I’d be excited to help your family make worthwhile accomplishments in the classroom!
