I have worked tutoring since I was in College. I used to help students in different subjects, specially english, spanish, math and chemistry. As a native spanish speaker I enjoyed assisting international students improve thier fluency and proficiency in the language. I completed a Food Science degree at San Francisco University in Quito, Ecuador, where I'm from. After graduating from University, I started working at a Confectionery Company in Quito. Working for the Research and Development Department, helped me gain important experience in the Food Industry. Among the main responsabilities at work, I had to run lab trials to come up with a desired formulation for new products in many categories such as chocolates, candies and chewing gum. In addition, I designed their manufacture process and carried out shelf life studies. During my time there I also trained and tutored workers in the

I received my BS in Biological Sciences with a minor in Chemistry with honors in 2010. I have taken and received A's in 2 inorganic classes, 2 organic classes. I have taken and received high marks in biochemistry. I have tutored one-on-one as well as to large groups. My focus is on college level science classes. I feel that bringing creative and unique methods to learning helps student overcome their dispassion or fear. My sessions aim to be positive and motivating. Although I have won numerous awards for my creativity, and presentation methods, the greatest reward have been the smiling faces of my students after the course when they brag about their final grades. Let me show you that you can succeed in science.

I had no exact teaching method. However, I was able to answer simple questions and allowed the students to work on their problems by discovering some of the ideas themselves. I have done assistant teaching for my professors at Concord University. I helped set up laboratory equipment, answered college freshmans' questions and provided reasons for why certain biological processes occurred in Biology 102. I only did it for two hours per week, but I learned how to cooperate with college students and provide my insight of biology.

I tend to work well with individuals and small groups, independent of their age - I have worked with everyone from elementary school and below up to adult learners on a factory floor. My main goal is to teach by finding out what the pupil already knows and relating the subject matter to them through the already established knowledge base. Combining this this direct experience with analogy tends to bring what sometimes starts as an incomprehensible subject into the realm of what they already know and have a feel for, making them more comfortable with the subject and better able to grasp the concepts. As a mechanical engineering graduate with 3 years of practical experience in the field, I am constantly curious of the world around me and take great delight in sharing and imparting that knowledge in others. The degree itself grounds me firmly in the math and science worlds - everything f

I graduated from the University of Buffalo in 2005 with a Bachelor’s Degree in physics and a minor in mathematics. I am extremely proud of my academic achievement there as I earned the title of Summa Cum Laude, and had cumulative GPA of 3.9. Since then I have discovered that teaching is my true passion in life, and I have earned my Master’s from the University of Rochester in 2009. During my education and up to now I have gained extensive experience working with a wide variety of students from all over the Rochester area. I continue to strive to bring my love of science and mathematics to my students and hope to enrich their lives if only in a small way. I believe that the best way to learn anything is to actually do it and have it be relevant to your experiences. That is why I strive to make science and math come alive for my students so they can see that the things they are learning ar

Based on my experiences in training and instructing on the job, I consider myself very patient and capable of conveying technical information to my audience. I especially enjoyed the one-on-one and small group contacts that were primarily involved. I feel I can contribute many relevant and 'real' Laboratory and Chemical experiences to any basic chemistry education. I feel I can be considerate to the needs of students at any level, and look forward to the challenges of improving their learning skills and chemical education. I will always strive to do my best with every student contact I might make. I have had over 30 yrs. experience working as a Professional Chemist in a Materials Eng. and Technical Services Laboratory. This included work in Inorganic, Analytical, Polymer and Organic Chemistry. As the Senior Chemist in our group, I have had the opportunity to supervise and train seve

My education comes from both a local teaching-oriented college and a nationally ranked research university. I have taught in settings ranging from one-on-one tutoring to lecturing a class of over 200 students. Recently I was involved in generating on-line content for a textbook publisher. Most of my career has been in industry starting with co-op employment while earning my undergraduate degree and continuing after post-doctoral training. This broad prospective has given me a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in today’s fast paced environment. I believe learning is a two-way process. It needs to start with a student who has a true desire to learn and then, of course, the teacher needs to have a true desire to bring about the learning. A successful combination will result in mastering of concepts and development of skills as opposed to simply reciting facts. I believe studen

Most my experience with teaching has been on the peer level therefore it has always been easy for me to relate to the students I was helping. Having recently gone through a difficult degree I feel my experience with learning good greatly help other students realize that even though it may not seem like it they can achieve their dreams too. I am a very hands on learner and have always brought that to any one that I was helping through visual aids or actually doing an experiment. I think all students struggle with different subjects and need help from time to time, my goal is to make students understand that and have an enjoyable learning experience. As a freshman forensic chemistry undergraduate student I was tested out of the general chemsirty courses offered at York College. This being the case I needed to find a way to keep chemistry fresh in my mind till the higher level courses were

I firmly believe teaching requires structure. In that regard, the learning process requires a sequences of steps. Firstly, the student must understand the problem to be solved or the skill to be acquired. Secondly, examples are required to show how to approach and solve a prolem. Lastly, overarching concepts can be introduced to unitfy that which is new with that which is already understood. This approach has succesfully trained and kept the interest of all individuals that I have mentored. As an individual involved in advanced development activities at Eastman Kodak, I had the opportunity to apply my knowledge of science into product development and I also had the opportunity to train other individuals in the workings of a new product as that product became commercialized and a large staff of engineers and technicians were needed for the product's manufacture. These experiences

The word student comes from the Latin to be eager, and I love to instill the love of learning, n eagerness to learn, in children. The education or drawing out of a child's mind is the ultimate goal, and doing so in a disciplined yet exciting way has proven the best method for engaging students of all ages. As a Research Scientist in Corporate America, I took the opportunity to focus on enhancing the math and science education of high, middle, and elementary school students. In addition to hands-on classroom activities, I was involved in the Program In Rochester to Interest Students in Science and Math (PRISSM), judged Science Fairs and Science Competitions. Because of my goal of enhancing student achievement, I have taught Chemistry at the Junior College level for the past eight years. I love the appreciation of English Literature and English Grammar as well and so, upon retirement,

I love teaching and helping children and young adults grow educationally. I believe that all children have the capacity to learn, but it is through varied methods that make all the difference. I am very patient and help the child understand the material from a real-life perspective. Concepts/ideas come easy to me, it is through this gift that I intend to help others struggling to grasp the same concepts/ideas. As a master's level graduate in Criminal Justice, I have a varied and extensive background in many subject areas. At the undergraduate level, I have a minor in Forensic Science which required me to take many science courses, including Chemistry and the like. I have taken both undergraduate and graduate level Statistics courses and excelled at both. My current position as an Analyst for a legal publishing company also gives the skills necessary to teach proper grammar and writing sk
