PURELY CONCEPTUAL TEACHING
I am LAVANYA RANI, MSc, Ph.D in Chemistry. I have done my schooling, graduation and post graduation in India at Osmania University ( Hyderabad, A.P, India ). Due to ill health and couple of surgeries I had to be away from working. I recently came to the US right now am on dependent visa. ( H-4 ). My utmost passion towards teaching made me to apply here and I am more interested rather believe in conceptual teaching. I want to make the child understand the core concept rather than superficial understanding. I can take conceptual classes for middle and high school science subjects. I don't have any experience in the US but used to take private tutoring in India for 9th, 10th and 11th standards.

My comments on tutoring Organic Chemistry : Winner of National Olympiad in Chemistry; BS and PhD in Chemistry

I'm an experienced tutor specializing in Chemistry and Mathematics at the high school and college levels. I earned my PhD in Chemistry from New York University. As the winner of National Olympiad in Chemistry and Math, I consider myself an expert problem solver, and I can help my students to improve the problem solving skills. I've helped numerous high school and college students with their courses, including high school chemistry, general chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, calculus, linear algebra, and probability. I'm very happy to help students to better understand essence of the course, to develop their problem solving skill and to establish solid foundation for the future study.

Organic Chemistry is one of my top subjects! i have a phd in chemistry

I studied chemistry in India (IIT - Delhi, MSc) and in Canada (McGill University, Montreal, PhD). During my PhD, I extensively tutored undergraduates and high school students. I have several year's experience in the pharmaceutical industry and continue to help students in learning concepts in chemistry. I understand the need to have a focused preparation for exams - something which is lacking in the education system at large. I offer my tutoring services in helping students to score high in tests and quizzes.

More About This Tutor...

I have successfully completed a Beacon tutor course in preparation for individual and group tutor sessions. I led a semester long Beacon tutoring supplement course in Organic Chemistry that supported 20 junior college students. I have effectively tutored/mentored a number of high school students in general education coursework, organizational skills, and in preparation for exit examinations. I have conducted community based math group sessions for junior high and high school students. Finally, I have supported 1st and 2nd grade elementary school students in math and reading comprehension. I personally create and provide worksheets and additional materials to support students' mastery of coursework. Students under my mentorship have achieved at least a 40% increase on grade reports and above average scores on examinations.

More About This Tutor...

I have had about a year of teaching experience at the university level where I taught upper division organic chemistry to pre-professional school students at UC Davis. The class size ranged from 100 to 300 students. I have also taught much smaller size classrooms ranging between 10-30 student at Sierra City College. I am an organic chemist with a Ph.D degree from UC Davis and I also have post-doctoral experience from UC Berkeley. So I am well versed with Organic Chemistry. I have also taught general chemistry but my experties is organic chemistry.
My teaching style is quite simple. I prefer an active learning style of teaching where students are actively involved in the lessons. I tend to ask them a lot of questions and at the same time I would guide them to the answers rather than just giving the answers. That way they have a "know how" approach to problem solving.

As a major in Organic Technology I defended M.S. degree in Polymers, while as doctorate fellow I defended a Ph.D. thesis in Enzyme Engineering and Protein Bioconjugate chemistry. After many years spent in academia doing applied science research, I worked last decade in Biotech R&D industry and management. While in academia I participated in the teaching of Biotechnology B.S. students. I have participated also in the training of college Chemistry graduates hired in Biotech companies I worked for. Over the years, I wrote and published many scientific papers in English in academic journals. I have also CBEST test taken (CA requirements for substitute & other teachers).
I love teaching and working with children, especially with under-achievers. I believe teaching through personal and individual approach using up-to-date tools like Internet resources is very effective. Engaging chi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During the ups and downs of my undergraduate career, I became self-aware of the challenges that a student faces, especially within subjects that are not his/her strong suits. I believe the best approach is one where self-motivation from within is encouraged, as any subject is difficult without the right motivation. To identify the right motivation, as a tutor back in 2001, I took time to discuss with the students their interests and goals. By understanding them on this personal level, I felt it was easier to connect with them and make them realize that their success was of great importance to me.
As a graduate from a top-10 university and from graduate school, I know what it takes to get into a top program and succeed at a high level. In the past 5 year, I have been working as a consultant in the environmental industry, but want to take some time off now to explore other intere ... read more

As a pre-med at UC Berkeley, I have a vast experience with in the basic sciences. I fell in love with Molecular Biology because of how integrated the field was. Everything was connected in some way or another. To complete my experience, I was also heavily involved in research. I've done research in stem cells, neurons, sickle cells, and zinc fingers. I've had the opportunity to tutor disadvantaged students in Oakland. Tutored underclassmen in High school. I've helped them in school work, SAT, and college applications. My students have received offers from UCB, UCLA, and Stanford.
My number one goal in teaching has always been to improve the students approach and mentality. All most every student I have tutored had the hidden, raw talent to succeed in school, but either lacked the desire or the vision to do so. I want students to see problems and concepts like how I do. I want them ... read more
