I love all my students. I have a large library of teaching aids and knowledge of lots of ways to entice students to discover and delight in what they learn. I have the skill to be gentle while leading the student at a pace that accomplishes high achievement.
I was barely 17 when I founded a one room school in the remote mountains of Hainan Island where I taught all subjects and all grades. Thus began my love of teaching. As the Cultural Revolution waned, I returned to the mainland and continued teaching while I finished high school on my own and earned a BS in teaching Chemistry. My career progressed through high school, community college until retirement teaching Organic Chemistry at the University of Guangzhou. In America I teach Mandarin language and Chinese culture to students from primary grades to soldiers. I am currently enrolled in a MEd in Mandarin Instruction tau ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I recently graduated from the Evergreen State College with a degree in mathematics. My other fields of study included chemistry, computer science, and physics. I have numerous hours of laboratory experience to support my in class and text book understanding of the materials covered. I've been a tutor at TESC for 3 years now working with students from all walks of life and working on any scientific material I've had any experience with.
I believe that whenever I'm working with a student they have the capacity to learn and internalize the material. I believe that the student can learn the material. My method of mathematical and scientific instruction is based off the Polya style of teaching where the instructor guides their students by questions and reviewing the known information. Thus the student's questions drive the student towards the answer desired. I find great personal reward ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I obtained a bachelors degree in chemistry from Auburn University. When I was at Auburn University I took as many education courses as possible. The most helpful class allowed me to teach a middle school science class once a week. It was a great experience that gave me the opportunity to write lesson plans, set up for labs, and most of all gain teaching experience. I have helped many of my peers with their struggles in chemistry.
I love helping people and I love chemistry. I believe in using an inquiry based teaching method. What I like to do is show an example problem and have the student help me work it out by asking them questions related to the problem. Afterwords, I let them try to work a similar type problem. If they have problems then I let them explain to me where they are having trouble and we go from there.
