PROFESSOR-CHEMISTRY & PHYSICS

I base my teaching style and principle on "examples are the best teacher." I support my lectures with and by working examples.
For many years, I worked in industries and electric energy nuclear plants from where I retired. Thereafter, I have devoted my time to academia; teaching chemistry (General, Physical, Organic, Inorganic, Nuclear).I consider myself an enthusiastic, benevolent educator, dedicated to making a difference in young people's lives by creating an atmosphere conducive to active learning and exploration. I am gifted with ability to explain complex concepts in a relatable manner, allowing students to understand the material better. I motivate students to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential.

About my role as a teacher, I think that the main principle should be “teaching for understanding”. A teacher creates learning opportunities that engage students in thinking about important mathematical concepts. Facts and skills support such learning but are not the ultimate goal. A teacher not only draws on past knowledge of mathematics but continuously builds on and refines that knowledge during meaningful interactions with students and colleagues. Thus, her or his practice as a teacher is constantly evolving

I have earned a PhD in Chemical Engineering and completed 20 hours toward a MA in Teaching. In response to a desperate need for math teachers in urban schools, I completed an alternative certification program offered through Chicago Public Schools and National Louis University while teaching high school math. Through my education I have gained an extensive knowledge of Math, Chemistry and Physics and advanced Engineering concepts. I have also been trained in SAT and ACT test preparation, so I am very familiar with grammar, reading comprehension and strong essay writing techniques. Over the last 15 years, I have tutored students ranging from Jr. High through college in all these areas.
Society continues to foster the traditional belief that success in math and science is inherent, only to be grasped by those born with a particular talent level. Educational research by scholars ... read more

Since high school I've been working with my peers to help clarify subject matter, as that was my favorite method of study. In college I tutored under-classmen in Spanish, chemistry, and political science. Since graduating, I've worked with college freshmen as a writing tutor and with middle school students to teach algebra and pre-algebra. I'm a very strong writer, and I've got a broad background allowing me to tutor in any subject through freshmen year to college.
My method of teaching varies with the subject. A spanish tutor and a chemistry tutor can go about things quite differently. I like leading students to find answers on their own so that they understand the paths they are taking. That method is especially helpful in hard sciences and math. In the liberal arts (poli-sci, literature, religion, philosophy, etc.) I like to work in the Socratic method. I'll challenge the stude ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In high school, I tutored mathematics at Alexander Children's Center. Many of the children were abused at home, creating difficult challenges initially. However, I was able to work through some of these challenges by creating a calm and understanding environment, but also by establishing a routine. Today, I continue to volunteer at the Center as a basketball coach and can honestly say that I love working with children. I realize that tutoring for children without emotional problems will be entirely different, but I believe the fundamentals of my approach will improve the performance of my students.
As a high school student, I excelled in math and science. I received a 5 on BC Calculus, AP Statistics and AP Environmental Science, and 4 in AP Chemistry and AP American History. At Duke University, I majored in environmental science and policy, with a minor in economics. After working ... read more

My graduate teaching assistant experience gave me a unique opportunity to understand what it takes to be a great teacher.I Taught general chemistry 1&2 and physical chemistry at the Univesity of Virginia. I have also worked in the industry for three years which which a practical understanding of Chemistry.
To become a great teacher one has to love the job, willing to give his best and most importantely be creative. I first beleive that all children can learn if they have the right instructor. To me,a student does not fail, but the teacher does. Failure of one student out of hundreed is a failure of the teacher. I listen to students and I do my best to help the students anyway I can. To conclude, my style is simple: listen to students,be creative and be there to help the students.

More About This Tutor...

I am a huge proponent of the dialectic and Socratic methods of teaching, while recognizing the need for the didactic to learn the basic methods of academics. My own experience, as well as my background in Psychology, helps me recognize that learning must be relevant, interesting, and conducted in a highly accepting and supportive environment. I am keenly aware of the sense of inadequacy of students who come to tutoring services (I have been one myself in the past) and make special care to make all my students feel that improvement is possible for anyone. The knowledge and strategies that high performers utilize are not exclusive; anyone can learn with patience and the right tutor!
I am a current teacher for the Princeton Review for the SAT (soon also for the GRE and GMAT), as well as a former tutor for Huntington Learning Center (SAT). A score of 1400 on the SAT allows me th ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style has been to make learning fun and easy to remember. When I have taught I've been very interactive with the students and have gotten many compliments from students and patients as well, on my ability to communicate on almost any level.
In Medical School, Residency and practice I have always been expected to be in the simultaneous role of student, teacher, mentor and tutor. I can say I have a vast amount of training and expereience in science, physics, chemistry, mathematics, as well as the liberal arts. I score as an ITSP on the Myers-Briggs evaluation which means I am not only concrete in speech and utilitarian in getting things done, I am also directive and attentive in teaching settings. I have done a small amount of teaching at the junior college level and am comfortable giving oral presentations to groups of people.

I believe that first key step to successful teaching is to allows the student convey his/her needs or problem areas. While much can be gained from looking at previous evaluations and test scores, I think that it is crucial to let the student express their needs to make them feel comfortable and build a commitment to the teaching program. In individual sessions, I feel that allowing the student to discuss concepts out loud in addition to completing written exercises and preparing questions facilitates the learning process. I also find that real world analogies are useful ways of linking academic information to previously learned concepts and facilitate the student's understanding. Walking students through diagrams or schematics is also helpful, especially when teaching scientific information.

Having graduated as a Phi Beta Kappa Scholar from UNC-Chapel Hill, I have always achieved a level of excellence in education. I have earned two bachelor of science (B.S.) degrees in Biology and Chemistry. As a result of achieving mastery in these areas, I have tutored students in subjects such as Genetics, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics and Calculus. Through tutoring, I have learned that it helps me enrich my own knowledge about the subject matter thus, allowing me to approach concepts/problems in different ways.
In my own studies I have learned the importance of gaining a firm grasp of fundamental knowledge in order to apply it to situations that one has never encountered. This style of learning is at the forefront of science and mathematics. During tutoring, I make sure that the students have properly attained the fundamental knowledge and avoid teaching only how to sol ... read more

I have an adaptive teaching style that I can customize to the individual student or group of students. I heavily leverage visuals and models, especially in organic chemistry. For me, the key is to relate a concept to something a student is already familiar with. I love analogies, and I use them to drive students to think about chemistry.
As a graduate from one of the top PhD programs in the country, I have a breadth of experience in chemistry. At Texas A&M I specialized in organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and polymer chemistry. My teaching experience includes polymer chemistry, organic chemistry and freshman chemistry classes. My tutoring experience includes 4 years of tutoring both freshman chemistry and organic chemistry. I have highly developed communication skills and can explain even the most complex concepts to any student.

My teaching is simple, every person can learn math and science. I believe that with hands-on learning to support the lessons taught each student can achieve success. I like using my experience in industry to give real world examples of how math and science is applied to everyday life. To often children are intimidated by math and science because of past perceptions, but I believe that if you teach a child how to learn and study anything can be accomplished.
After receiving my BS in Chemistry I obtained an analytical position with Pfizer Global Research & Development. For six years I worked in many different aspects of synthetic chemistry whether it was purification, IT infrastructure, or bench top wet chemistry. I also worked in the area of peptide chemistry performing automated synthesis. Over the last year I have tutored both adults and high school students in the areas of ma ... read more
