Chemistry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Dragoon, AZ

I feel that my style of teaching is student centered. I am a facilitator to the learning process. Any student who chooses to learn can and will, however some students need more motivation than others. Thus, I take the time to hear about and understand what my students know and more importantly do not know and want or need to know. I also want to know how my students learn best before I start teaching them. In a general classroom setting, I try to ensure I do something for all learners. However, in a one-on-one setting, I am able to tailor my explanations to that student's learning style. Therefore not only helping the learning process, but also encouraging the best that they can do. I became interested in tutoring and teaching as an undergraduate. I began as a basic chemistry tutor, but quickly worked my way up to a lead tutor position. I then took on the responsibility of being

I truly and honestly enjoy working with children of all ages to help them achieve their highest potential. I am highly efficient at helping students with homework, understanding lessons, and prepping for examinations. When working with young children (grades k-6), I try and make learning as fun and relaxing as possible. Young children also need a lot of attention to ensure they remain focused on the task at hand. When working with young adults (grades 7-12), I try to do my very best to explain subjects as thorough as possible. I also like to take subjects one step further by using analogies to bring concepts into a form that is easier to understand and more relevant to their lifestyle. My tutoring began in when I was employed with Nazareth Colleges' Partners for Learning program. This program worked with several schools in the Rochester, NY area to provide in school and after school tuto

My forte is science and math, which are often students' least favorite subjects, due to earlier difficulty. A solid basic understanding of these subjects is critical to being an independent, engaged adult; and it's just plain cool to understand how the world works! I enjoy removing the fear and guiding the students to increase their competence and self-confidence. I am funny, enthusiastic and know how to use the student's background as a "hook" to pull them into the subject. I have a BA in Psychology, MS in Zoology and BS in Computer Science. I have lifetime Arizona Community College certification in psychology, biology, ecology and remedial math. My experience with special populations includes: three years full-time on the Navajo Reservation; three years part-time at the SALT Center at the University of Arizona working with learning disabled students; and a hands-on nature camp for d

I understand that science, especially chemistry, is not intuitive to everyone. Quite often, chemistry can be related to real life phenomena or can be explained in ways that are more tangible to the young student. I strive to find those relations and teach science in that manner. Furthermore, my favorite teachers were those that made learning fun, not just repeatedly doing homework problem after homework problem. I believe that while there is some merit in repetition, a student will remember something if the learning process is presented using everyday examples. Over the last ten years, I have been a graduate student at both Wright State University in Ohio (MS - Chemistry) and at the University of Arizona (PH. D. - Chemistry). During that time, I have had many opportunities as both a teaching assistant and tutor for general chemistry and quantitative and instrumental analysis courses

I received my degree from Fairmont State University in WV. I am certified to teach high school physics and chemistry, although I've also taught a few sections of physical science under special circumstances as well. While obtaining my degree, I have taken almost every math, physics, and chemistry class available. I've had many educational experiences. I have taught science for a few years in central America as well as tutored physics at the college I went to, and I have been a science camp counselor. I was a student guest teacher at a college level physical chemistry class, and I was also a guest teacher for a middle school science class. While teaching in a classroom environment, it is difficult to give all the students the individual attention that's needed. It is often that I can help a student get over a small hurdle, but afterward the student is reluctant to take up more tim

Working as a tutor has given me the opportunity to demonstrate great leadership among my peers and students while creating a positive environment. During my experience as a tutor I was able to incorporate knowledge that I obtained in my field of study, into my many tutoring sessions. I have also been able to utilize my techniques and skills learned throughout college as an aide to helping students succeed in their education. I have become quite familiar in the areas of chemistry, biology, microbiology, and parasitology and have been able to utilize my knowledge in these subjects to enhance my tutoring skills. I have tutored kids of all ages and backgrounds in just about every subject ranging from English to college math. One of my many passions in life is working with kids, specifically tutoring them. I have found that it is easier to tutor a student when they know that they are surround

I'm a very enthusiastic teacher. I believe that a student can only learn what they're interested in learning. For this reason, I find that getting the student to be interested in the subject at hand is crucial. Lessons should be fun and engaging. There are different approaches and applications on any given subject and finding the right one for each student allows for personal tailoring of a lesson. Engaging the student in interactive activities allows the student and the teacher to continuously assess their progress. When a student is able to practice the material immediately and is given their instructor's reassurance it allows the student to walk away with confidence and the desire to build on what they've learned. I'm a very passionate chemist who has experienced various real-world applications of chemistry hands on. My diverse experience on the subject would enable me to share

I am a junior at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio Texas, but return home to Tucson, AZ for the summers. I am working towards my Bachelor of Science in Biology and I am currently applying to medical school. Through my strong academics and excellent organization skills, I was chosen to tutor the following subjects as an undergraduate: general biology, anatomy and prepatory/introduction to chemistry. I find that the most rewarding aspect of teaching is the time spent interacting and engaging with the students. I want to learn what areas were most challenging to the students and then focus on those areas, utilizing different teaching tools to meet each student's need and most comfortable style of learning. I also believe in continued development of their strengths with constant refreshment of what they understood. I will foster an environment in which the student(s) feel comfortable ask

I believe that a child can understand difficult concepts if they explore it in the right way. My style of teaching guides children so they may explore the information they need to learn. If you allow a child to ask questions, to figure out as much as they can about something, they can figure out how to use it. A one-on-one setting or small group setting is best for this style of teaching. Some may call this inquiry-based teaching and it can be used for all subjects. My goal is to guide students so they can be an active part of their learning. In college I was able to tutor children in reading and math at Tucson Metropolitan Ministries. After I received my bachelor's degree in ecology and evolutionary biology (minoring in science education), I wanted to teach youth in an alternative setting. I taught for six months at Lutheran, Retreats, Camps and Conferences in California. I gained exp
