I have 10 years of experience teaching chemistry labs: general chemistry and organic chemistry. I also have 10 years of experience tutoring chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry at the college level. I enjoy helping people learn. I've often had students say something like, "Oh! I finally understand. My lecture professor taught me this, but I didn't understand it until now!" Lots of different ways to approach the problem. If you don't understand it one way, I can usually help you attack the problem from a "different direction."

Through 2nd year High School I use the Socratic method, meeting the students where they are, and using gentle questioning to build on that base. I start with the assumption that all children are gifted learners, and communicate that belief to them. It is essential to create a base of success upon which to build future success. I also spend time finding something to like deeply about each child; and discovering what the child is interested in. When an adult takes an interest in the child's world, and shares that interest in a positive reinforcing manner, it opens to door to learning. I have taught internship classes and tutored statistics at the University level. I have tutored mathematics from elementary to calculus at a junior college. I have been a GRE instructor for the Stanley Kaplan company I founded, owned and operated the Idaho School of Professional Hypnosis for 10 years, te

Non professional student teacher willing to help any young adult or child in learning fun and exciting new ways to learn new materials. I don't just take charge and try and make them learn I let them tell me how they can retain the information the way it suits them. I am a non professional student teacher but love to help make learning fun. I am currently enrolled at Brown Mackie College and know how difficult it can be to understand what is being taught. That's why I am here.

I believe in identifying the learning style of the student which can take some time with some. Are they a visual learner I draw pictures, maps, charts and video; if an audio learner tapes, lecture, youtube, video, etc,.. and if a kinesthetic learner then they need the hands on experience to develop the learning that is needed, so then standing back to guide the thought process without doing it for them. I started as an Adjunct Instructor at ISU for the Geomatics Engineering program for the 2007-2008 school year. Prepare for class setup the curriculum, homework, grading and test for 10-12 students. I went to ITT Technical Institute following that and was offered to Chair School of Drafting & Design. I taught and ran the department for 2 years. I was in charge of 4-10 teachers and 170+ students.

I am highly motivated to continue the process of education. Currently I am working on a masters in health science in health promotion. At the same time, I am obtaining a minor in Spanish. With a bachelors in Science, I understand well anatomy and physiology,and any other biology class. Having written many papers for my masters degree, I know what it takes to make a grammatically sound paper in English. Having learned Spanish through the university, I have a firm grasp of grammar rules, pronunciation and how they relate to English. During the last year, I have been teaching Spanish to kindergarten through fifth grade. I love to teach. In order to be an effective teacher, I believe you have to be willing to adapt and change very quickly. This may also mean you have to spend extra time with students who are struggling or be proactive when you notice there is a problem instead of wai

I have earned an AA in Liberal arts, AS in Allied Health, and a BS in Biology which have enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math, chemistry, genetics and science. I was a Chemistry lab assistant at a JC for a year, during which I aided and tutored chemistry students with their general and organic chemistry needs, and prepared classroom instructional materials and labs for all the Chemistry classes. In addition to tutoring peers and friends at the JC, I helped students at the CSU I attended with everything from chemistry and genetics to physiology and cellular biology. I also have ample experience tutoring grammar school kids, grades 3rd through 8th, in language arts, math, chemistry, and all other sciences. I once had a Chemistry professor whose encouragement and unique enjoyment of Chemistry inspired and allowed me to understand Chemistry like I never had before. When

I take a calm and respectful approach to teaching and tutoring students. I view the exercise as an opportunity to provide guidance rather than instruction. I encourage students to arrive at an understanding of problems and solutions in the context of how they relate to the fundamental principles underlying the question at hand, be it a mathematics or scientific specific challenge. Rather than providing solutions, I demonstrate how to ask the correct questions, how to approach a problem with the mindset of understanding how it relates to fundamental principles and thus draw the logical line of reasoning to arrive at a workable conclusion or solution. I’ve always been of the mindset that the “pencil remains in the student’s hand” meaning they do the work, I am simply there to help encourage them towards the correct line of reasoning. I was a "Master Tutor" of Mathematics and Physics at BSU

While earning a BA in English at Reed College, I gained valuable experience in researching and writing essays on the variety of subjects required for a liberal arts degree. Within my own major, I continually practiced literary interpretation and criticism, argument development, and editing. I have also broadened my knowledge of English grammar through teaching English as a Second Language to Spanish and Italian speakers. This past year, I have tutored elementary students in reading, English, and mathematics. I enjoy tutoring children one on one. Many children have difficulties in school because of low confidence levels, which are reinforced in the classroom by very little individual attention. I believe the more comfortable a child feels in her/his learning environment, the easier she/he will learn. As a tutor, I try to ease academic pressure by developing a relaxed, supportive relations

As I was tutoring fellow students in high school, I realized I wanted to teach. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Special Education. I chose, then, to go into the business of training and consulting rather than work for the Public School System. I have fifteen years experience in needs analysis and consulting, twelve years experience in personal computer training, eight years experience designing curricula and training materials, four years experience in computer sales management, two years experience as substitute teacher, and very recent experience preparing a child with learning disabilities to re-enter the regular classroom using the Davis Learning Strategies System. I am well versed in many subjects, including math, science, reading, writing, French, music, and computer applications; I have a lifelong penchant for learning and passion for teaching what I learn.

I love being creative and finding ways to help others learn. I am great with children, and believe that patience and encouragement can give them confidence to excel at anything they choose. I am very easy to get along with. I am very patient and understanding. Everyone has different strengths in learning, and everyone has different learning styles. A good educator needs to be aware of the needs of the individual, and teach them in styles that allow them to process and retain information. I love to see those I tutor light up when they finally understand something. I enjoy making a difference to those I teach and watching them succeed. I have always had a love for math and science. I was able to challenge and develop my problem solving skills in achieving a Masters Degree in Architecture. I have a also received a Minor in Business.
