Chemistry is one of my top subjects! Expert at all General Chemistry I & II concepts. Particularly good at emphasizing the important concepts of General Chemistry I and II that keep coming back to haunt you over and over again in future chapters if you don't get them right the first time: dimensional analysis (unit chaining and canceling), the key element groups and their properties (alkali metals, halogens, etc.), how to name chemical compounds and acids, gas laws, energy and heats (of formation, etc.), balancing chemical equations, solubility, oxidation-reduction reactions, using Lewis structures to determine polarity, intermolecular forces, and especially, ICE tables. Everything is connected in chemistry, and I will make sure you don't get away with not knowing something really important you should have already learned when you're halfway through the course.

I am currently employed by a college in Roanoke, Virginia as a tutor of mathematics, chemistry, and computer science and tutor elementary school, middle school, high school, college students, and others professionally. For the last 23 years, it has been so fulfilling working for three colleges and tutoring independently over 2,000 students of all ages in all areas of math and computer science, as well as college writing, adult literacy and English as a Second Language (ESL). I have a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics and computer science and am internationally certified by the College Reading and Learning Association. I love tutoring more every year I do it.
If you watch me closely during our sessions, you can see me secretly paying keen attention to you and how you learn best. For example, you might say, "It LOOKS like they want me to factor here." And I'll think, "Aha! LO ... read more

Chemistry is one of my top subjects! I have a Bachlor's in Science degree in Chemistry and have tutored a friend in General Chemistry before.

I have worked for various chemical companies, in both research and quality control settings. I have prevously tutored a friend in her General Chemistry class. I am more comfortable with General Chemistry concepts then some of the more advanced material, since I mostly deal with those in my current job. I believe I do a fairly good job of simplifiying difficult chemistry concepts in such a way that they can be easily understood.

A Little Bit About Me...

The school is the place where the tools and environment are available for students to satisfy their curiosity and desire to learn. The challenge for any teacher is to identify the needs of students coming from diverse backgrounds. In the classroom, teaching means delivering the principles and concepts in a manner that students can understand and relate to. It is also important to connect the theory and application. For example, relating textbook knowledge of enzymes to real world applications such as drug metabolism can have a tremendous impact on generating the interests of students and helping them retain, explore and exploit the basic knowledge delivered in a course. A highly engaging lecture may inspire students to become curious about material that is beyond the scope of the class. Therefore, outside of the classroom, teacher accessibility is vital. An open door policy is c ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught just about all secondary levels of science throughout my teaching career. I have typically worked in county schools where each member of the department had to take on multiple tasks. I have taught chemistry, physics, biology, earth science, environmental science, horticulture, and principles of technology in my twenty-five year career. I have often taught lower math classes as well, ranging from Math 8 to Algebra I and geometry.
I really enjoy working with young teens. I have worked in high schools for 25 years in Virginia and West Virginia. I have always had good rapport with teens and have enjoyed interacting with them. I have been trained in the Constructivist approach to teaching, but have had to change my style of teaching in order to cover materials necessary for SOL testing in recent years. I know that students retain more knowledge when they are involved in di ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am compassionate, patient, and sincere. I employ various teaching styles depending on the age and needs of the student. For college and high school students, I ask that students bring their textbooks as well as notes to each session. I often prepare example questions for material similar to that tested on an exam. Not only does this allow the student with an opportunity to practice additional problems in areas that are weak, but also ensures that the student fully comprehends the information. When tutoring younger children, I believe active learning is best because many children are visual and/or kinesthetic learners. I tutor children using methods that best match his/her learning style.
As a recent graduate from the College of William & Mary, I have earned a bachelor’s degree (BS) in Neuroscience and a minor in Biochemistry. As a tutor for four years, I have tutored both college ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My education experience spans many areas. I have taught in middle and high school classrooms, have tutored for public school programs, tutored at after school learning centers, tutored in church programs, and managed a learning center as the human resources, business, sales, and education director in charge of all students programs from initial testing to post testing. My great pleasure in life is education and I have worked with students from pre-K through college age. My recently tutored subjects are science (biology and chemistry), math (through algebra 2 and geometry), study skills, SAT (and other test) Prep, reading and writing.
I believe that all students can learn if they are taught in a style that is most conducive to their learning style and motivations. To make that happen for each of my students, I try to assess their specific learning styles early on and get to know ... read more

I am a Certified Public Accountant with over 30 years of accounting and finance experience. Although I have no formal teaching degree, I feel that I would be an excellent tutor. First, I have successfully trained many employees over the years. Second, my two sons, ages 21 and 19 graduated numbers 2 and 1 in their high school classes, respectively. Now, both are "straight A" students at the University of Tennessee. Here, I feel that I have lead by example. Finally, my personality, while being friendly and patient, is also that of a highly motivated "over achiever" who loves to help others. I feel that I offer the best of both worlds, a love of learning in an academic environment as well as real-life experience in the business world.
I love teaching and helping others, especially children. I believe that there are "no stupid questions" and that all children can learn. I think that on ... read more

I have 8 years experience in teaching Math, Physics & Chemistry in India handling 8th to 12th grades. I have 4 years in US teaching Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Geometry CP and Physics handling 9th to 12th grades.
I love this profession as my grand parents were Teachers. I came to US to teach but I learned variety of things as how to present the content. Back in India, our teaching is content orientented teaching but I learned here that it is student orientented teaching. My aim to be a Preacher in a church and also a Teacher in a school. I think that teaching is a life long learning process.
