Chemistry is one of my top subjects! I have a Ph.D. in chemistry, specializing in Inorganic/Organometallic/Bioinorganic chemistry

While pursuing my Ph.D. in chemistry, I not only taught required general chemistry labs and lectures at the university I attended, I also tutored both college and high school students in various fields of math and science. I have over 7 years of tutoring experience at all levels of biology, chemistry, physics, and math. In addition to one-on-one tutoring, I tutor groups of 2-5 students. Teaching lectures of 60+ students at both SDSU and UCSD has prepared me to effectively deliver material to groups. By holding office hours, I was able to better interact with students individually, to better aid them in understanding the material. Both of these teaching environments have led me to become an effective tutor.
I typically begin with the homework assigned by the students teacher, as theses are most often the questions that appear on the tests. Reviewing the practice tests, if avai ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a higher education professional who has come to believe that the best way to impact students is to return to teaching. I have a long-standing interest in the philosophy of teaching. I am particularly impressed by "deep learning," a movement that emphasizes critical thinking and inquiry at all levels of teaching. I also believe in high expectations combined with a strong support system, and a common sense approach to the subject matter. I have come to believe that much "teaching" is nothing more than giving students the illusion that they have learned something; this is evidenced by the "cram and regurgitate" approach often taken by students. In my view, this approach is not true teaching or true learning.
I have a PhD with a major in psychology and a minor in cell biology. I have taught college courses ranging from developmental math to graduate neuroscience. One of my re ... read more

I had 7 semesters teaching experience such as Physical chemistry(2 semester, UW-Madison;2 semester,Jilin University), General Chemistry(2 semesters, UW-Madison) and Succeed business in Excel(1 semester, Wisconsin School of Business).
I really enjoy teaching kinds. I like to demonstrate and explain to my students with some simple examples which can be visualized from the world. The reason I love teaching is because of I can communicate with my students and inspire them to think the idea behind the knowledge they have learned. I love teaching since I love kinds and feel excited when I work with energetic kinds.
