Ever since I was a child, I've loved education. Learning has always been a strong passion of mine. Math, English and science were subjects that I naturally excelled in and fell in love with. I began tutoring fellow classmates in high school. Algebra was most definitely my strong suit, and I loved to help everyone out in any way that I could. During my undergraduate years, I began to tutor my peers in organic chemistry, cell biology, algebra, English, statistics and pre-calculus. They all began to pass tests that they had prior doubts about and raising their grade. I love to share my knowledge with people. I love to see them succeed. Learning is a good thing and it can be quite enjoyable as well. I am a very analytical and visual person. I break things down for students. I help to make things simpler. Some students need to understand both how and why they reached a particular answer. Ot

I believe that each child learns in a different way, and as a teacher it is my challenge and duty to teach in such a way, to approach the problem from enough different angles, that each student would understand the concept at hand. I love that challenge. I am easy going, patient, and I relate well to children. I look forward to learning with and from each student I encounter. In 2002 I graduated with a degree in biotechnology. During the last semester of school, I was a substitute teacher, where I learned a lot about children and different teaching styles. After graduation, I pursued a career as a chemist, but I always maintained a second part-time job teaching, in some fashion. Usually, that teaching involved a pool. I have been a swimming lesson instructor for 10 years and have been a YMCA swim coach for 3 seasons, coaching over 200 children per year. In these opportunities, I

I find nothing more exciting and rewarding than teaching a topic or subject to an individual and seeing the expression and excitement on their face when they truly begin to understand the material. I was motivated by several gifted teachers while I was in high school and I believe that patience during the process of teaching, coupled with conveying your belief to the student that they in fact can master the material is incredibly important and crucial to the success of the student-teacher bond. You are not just teaching a particular subject, but a 'process' that will prime the student for further academic growth in the future. Attending and graduating from Davidson College, a small liberal arts college in NC, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry was an extremely rewarding experience. I found that the college groomed their students by emphasizing analytical skills--both scien

As a teacher of foreign language in a private language school. I established and maintained positive relationship with students, parents, and colleagues, fostering an environment of open communication. I Integrated technology into curriculum, supplementing class lectures and developing student’s word processing and researching skills. Furthermore, I Utilized Internet for resources on current events, history, Biology, and nutrition, to complement learning activities. I employed myself as an individual assistance to students, as needed. In addition, I Collaborated with parents and students to design curriculum and lesson plans, to help the student achieve the fundamental understanding of the language. AS a pharmacy graduate, I gain a strong background of different science materials. I earned a bachelor degree in pharmacy, which enables me to have a strong understanding of many subject

After receiving my BS in Chemistry I obtained an analytical position with Pfizer Global Research & Development. For six years I worked in many different aspects of synthetic chemistry whether it was purification, IT infrastructure, or bench top wet chemistry. I also worked in the area of peptide chemistry performing automated synthesis. Over the last year I have tutored both adults and high school students in the areas of mathematics and science. My teaching is simple, every person can learn math and science. I believe that with hands-on learning to support the lessons taught each student can achieve success. I like using my experience in industry to give real world examples of how math and science is applied to everyday life. To often children are intimidated by math and science because of past perceptions, but I believe that if you teach a child how to learn and study anything can

I believe that first key step to successful teaching is to allows the student convey his/her needs or problem areas. While much can be gained from looking at previous evaluations and test scores, I think that it is crucial to let the student express their needs to make them feel comfortable and build a commitment to the teaching program. In individual sessions, I feel that allowing the student to discuss concepts out loud in addition to completing written exercises and preparing questions facilitates the learning process. I also find that real world analogies are useful ways of linking academic information to previously learned concepts and facilitate the student's understanding. Walking students through diagrams or schematics is also helpful, especially when teaching scientific information. Since high school, I have tutored friends, peers, and my younger siblings in several subjects

In Medical School, Residency and practice I have always been expected to be in the simultaneous role of student, teacher, mentor and tutor. I can say I have a vast amount of training and expereience in science, physics, chemistry, mathematics, as well as the liberal arts. I score as an ITSP on the Myers-Briggs evaluation which means I am not only concrete in speech and utilitarian in getting things done, I am also directive and attentive in teaching settings. I have done a small amount of teaching at the junior college level and am comfortable giving oral presentations to groups of people. My teaching style has been to make learning fun and easy to remember. When I have taught I've been very interactive with the students and have gotten many compliments from students and patients as well, on my ability to communicate on almost any level.

As a graduate from one of the top PhD programs in the country, I have a breadth of experience in chemistry. At Texas A&M I specialized in organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and polymer chemistry. My teaching experience includes polymer chemistry, organic chemistry and freshman chemistry classes. My tutoring experience includes 4 years of tutoring both freshman chemistry and organic chemistry. I have highly developed communication skills and can explain even the most complex concepts to any student. I have an adaptive teaching style that I can customize to the individual student or group of students. I heavily leverage visuals and models, especially in organic chemistry. For me, the key is to relate a concept to something a student is already familiar with. I love analogies, and I use them to drive students to think about chemistry.

In my own studies I have learned the importance of gaining a firm grasp of fundamental knowledge in order to apply it to situations that one has never encountered. This style of learning is at the forefront of science and mathematics. During tutoring, I make sure that the students have properly attained the fundamental knowledge and avoid teaching only how to solve specific problems or answer specific homework/test questions. By tutoring in this manner, students have had great success in solving problems or answering questions on midterms and final exams. Assisting students achieve mastery in applying basic concepts to unfamiliar situations is crucial in unlocking their potential as they do not have to "memorize" their way through college, especially when it comes to science and math courses.

I personally enjoy when teachers draw pictures or diagram examples to clarify complicated topics so I have adapted an active tutoring form. It involves the student to explain and participate in my session to properly get the hands on one to one experience and confidence to correct their mistakes. I like to teach in a relaxed, but complete manner that insures the lesion has been ingrained into the students mind. My goals is to aid the students so that they can strive for excellence in their own lives. As a senior at Winston-Salem State University, I have strived for high academics in the Biological sciences. I will be graduating with my Bachelors of Science in Biology/Chemistry in June 2012. Throughout my journey through college I’ve learned successful strategies in science and mathematics that could help others. I have gained eight months experience tutoring other students in basic s

I believe that education is the key to success and I hope to encourage my students to see the fun and excitement in learning rather than treating it as a task they have to do. I am very creative and patient when it comes to teaching my students. I think all children have natural curiosity and it just needs to be sparked by a patient and fun person. I hope to be that person for my students. I am driven to help others especially through education. I have a BS in Biology and Chemistry from Duke University which allowed me to have in depth understanding of both subjects. Furthermore I have experience tutoring a college bound student with Biology and Pre-calculus, furthermore I have additional tutoring experience in math, reading, language and all areas of the sciences.

I am a huge proponent of the dialectic and Socratic methods of teaching, while recognizing the need for the didactic to learn the basic methods of academics. My own experience, as well as my background in Psychology, helps me recognize that learning must be relevant, interesting, and conducted in a highly accepting and supportive environment. I am keenly aware of the sense of inadequacy of students who come to tutoring services (I have been one myself in the past) and make special care to make all my students feel that improvement is possible for anyone. The knowledge and strategies that high performers utilize are not exclusive; anyone can learn with patience and the right tutor! I am a current teacher for the Princeton Review for the SAT (soon also for the GRE and GMAT), as well as a former tutor for Huntington Learning Center (SAT).
