Organic Chemistry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Detroit, OR

As a student of the College of Science, I excel both at detail in quantifiable information , and the ability to translate professional speak into everyday language. I excel in English, Science, and Psychology. I have been tutoring for five years and homeschool my 8-year-old stepdaughter. I take the time to assess each students learning style and tailor the material to their individuality. This makes learning fun and memorable. I am patient, easy-going, and able to quickly adjust to changing moods of students. Hands-on learning is my favorite way to teach.

A major drawback in current teaching methods at schools and institutions is the absence of efforts to educate students, why they should learn things they are being taught. I try to understand the students need level of interest and proficiency prior to designing multimedia and multi methodology course or delivery methods filled with real world application and references to fill the students need. My classes and presentations are interactive, fact filled and simplistic in nature with stress on reasoning rather than accumulation of facts and information. I am looking to utilize my creative teaching methods, vast experience and innovative techniques to change a student’s perspective about what they are learning and why they have to learn. After pursuing PhD at Dartmouth College, I have acquired years of process engineering and management experience at Intel Corporation and Biotronik Inc.

My teaching philosophy is to combine clear objectives and relevant content with a playful approach that encourages interest, exploration and successful learning. For focused tutoring or one-on-one help, I like to use and work through examples. I also like to ask general questions and questions *almost* like those that are assigned. For example: Where do you think this type of chemistry is important? Considering this problem in your book, what happens to the system if this quantity if doubled? The intent is to go beyond rote memorization and try to get students engaged. In graduate school, my teaching work included leading discussion and lab sections in organic and general chemistry. Duties included preparing and delivering presentations, review of class concepts and homework problems, and office hour help sessions to ensure student understanding and success passing tests. More recently,

I am an experienced chemist with a background in both biochemistry and organic chemistry and a somewhat rare combination of a gregarious nature and a rigorous empirical focus. I have 4 years experience teaching both lecture and laboratory courses at a college level. My students have included many different learning styles and national backgrounds and I am proud of the level of flexibility I have developed to help them all master what can be abstract and challenging subjects. I have also trained numerous technical workers in the biotechnology industry and always strive to include practical applications of the subject matter, even in the classroom. My teaching style is best described as observational and flexible; students have very different "windows' that allow them to learn, especially with abstract subjects. As a teacher I have to observe what works best for a student and then deliver

I enjoy teaching. There is something about the educational process, transfer of knowledge to students, that I have always found satisfying. It has been my experience that learning is an active process rather than a passive one. Thus I have seldom “taught” students anything. Rather I have enabled the students to learn. My teaching and curriculum development experience provides me with an understanding of the needs of community colleges students. I therefore have tailored my teaching techniques to ensure the success of those students. By and large my teaching evaluations over the years show that students have appreciated my ability to explain difficult concepts and the interest I take in the progress of the students. I have a PhD in Zoology from The Ohio State University and over the past 25 years I have taught at Columbus Technical Institute and Portland State University. I hav
