Organic Chemistry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Indian Mound, TN

I believe in teaching by example. I know especially in chemistry, examples help see the proper technique and variables needed to solve the problem. I feel that if a student is memorizing an equation but does not understand the process of finding and filling in variables, this will not help them get to the correct answer. A student need to dissect the equation in order to understand what exactly a problem is looking for. It took me many year to understand this process, but once I did I found that I could solve almost any problem that was presented to me in the field of chemistry. I hope to pass this knowledge on to my students. I earned a Bachelors degree in Chemistry and a minor in Biochemistry ins 2007 from the University of Colorado. I attended the University of Hawaii briefly where I was a teaching assistant for freshman level general chemistry lab. I taught lab, prepared quizze

While obtaining my chemistry degree at Butler, I also completed all requirements for a secondary education license with the exception of student teaching and worked as a math and science tutor with a private tutoring service in Indianapolis. I also was a "Mad Science" instructor, teaching after school programs to grades k-12 in science. Upon graduation, I worked as a medicinal chemist for 5 year and attended law school at night. I completed my law degree in 2006 and now currently work at Vanderbilt University negotiating research agreements. I recently taught test prep course for Sherwood Test Prep-but disliked the format of the classes. I prefer to tutor one on one with students and look forward to getting back into tutoring math and science on a regular basis, not only for extra income, but to get back to my teaching roots. As a Mad Scientist, I learned how to make learning scienc

I believe that all children have the potential to become successful, lifelong learners. I also believe that I have the kindness and patience that's required to work one-on-one with students and help explain difficult concepts in a way that they can understand. It is very important to listen to the students and ask them where they are having trouble, and help explain the concepts slowly and clearly. I also understand how some students may feel because I, too, needed a tutor at one time in high school. I have student teaching experience in physical science at the eighth grade level as well as biology at the high school level. I also have prior tutoring experience at a sylvan learning center where I tutored students in basic math, science homework support and ACT prep in science. I'm currently substitute teaching and tutoring a family of three children all in the sciences.

As a summa cum laude college graduate and a future medical school student starting in August, I have always strived for perfection during my college education. Receiving a B.S. in biology with a minor in chemistry, I have a very strong knowledge base in these sciences. However, due to the variety of classes required for admission to medical school, I have a strong foundation in subject matter such as physics and verbal reasoning, as well as writing skills, which are applicable to all classes. During the last 2 years I have tutored students in subjects such as cell biology, genetics, immunology, anatomy and physiology, general and organic chemistry, and physics. I thoroughly enjoy teaching others. Seeing a student have that “aha” moment when they finally understand a concept gives me a great feeling of accomplishment. I always try to cater to each student based upon their previous educati
