My comments on tutoring Chemistry : My favorite high school teacher was my chemistry teacher and she is still my best friend. Chemistry comes easily to me, but I don't get impatient or irritated if it doesn't come that way to others. From the basic building blocks of matter to the Lewis dot structures to fun ways to memorize the elements in the periodic table, I can make chemistry palatable.
Multiple ways of presenting material; musically, visually, building models, finding answers by testing a hypothesis; experimenting, measuring, observing, seeing, touching.
Teaching middle school and high school science from 1983 to 2004, including every science subject listed in the TutorSelect list. I have worked as an educational consultant for national science laboratories, helping them train their scientists to work better in the school classrooms where they volunteer. I have worked for museums and for outdoor education programs, but have found the most satisfaction as a classroom teacher with all kinds of students. I have worked teaching teachers, but they were very difficult students.
