Chemistry/Science Tutor in Lehigh Valley Area

I have more than 8 years of tutoring experience in chemistry/basic science at the college level. I can help with methods to study for test, work on course material, and develop a deeper understanding of the course material. I currently work in the chemical industry which helps me apply the material the student is learning to real-life research and development of products. I recieved my PhD in physical chemistry from Penn State University and tutored my entire time there.
I try to use real world applications related to the student's area of interest to make the material stick in the student's head rather than the ineffective method of brute memorization.

I have a passion for working individually with students to find their personal learning styles so that they can succeed and excel academically. I encourage students to think through a problem and find a solution that works for their individual abilities and plays to their strengths. I believe learning should be fun and not a forced activity.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style changes with my perception of a student's needs. My goal is to show students the path by which they can come to answers themselves. In discussing the subject matter with a student, I can gain a solid understanding of what he or she is capable. Using my patience and ability to effectively describe complicated concepts with analogies and visual aids, I have had great success. I care deeply about students with whom I interact, and I feel greatly rewarded when I have helped a student exceed expectations.
I have enjoyed each experience I have had with teaching, beginning with an informal position as a study group leader in the Genetics course I completed at Penn State University. While working on my MS at the University of Tennessee, I taught lecture and outdoor laboratory sessions for the Ornithology course, which included about 30 students. As the coordinator of the ... read more

I have become very adept at determining what level each student is at and tailoring my teaching style to suit the students that I am working with. In a class of over 20, I was able to reach each student with modified lessons and assignments. In the case of individual tutoring, I move at a rate that challenges the student while giving them ample opportunities to feel successful. I enjoy encouraging students to work to their best ability and am excellent at finding ways to motivate students who are stuck, bored, or find the topic too challenging.
I have tutored at the middle, high school, and college levels since my first year of college in 2004. Since then, I have worked as a paraeducator for the Special Education Dept. of an elementary school where I worked with first and second graders. For my student teaching experience, I was an intern for a full year at a city middle school ... read more

More About This Tutor...

When teaching or tutoring a student I have found that there are several factors in how it should be approached. The most important of the factors are the subject matter and the students learning style. The learning style of the student has to be considered when teaching. Helping a student learn requires finding the most effective method. You want to make sure they understand the subject matter while exposing them to other possible ways to approach difficult problems. You can provide tools not only for the problems they are having but preparing them to handle future difficulties. Teaching can be rewarding as you help the student help themselves by discovering their own strength and weakness as well as was to improve.
Over the twelve years I attended college I acquired six degrees while maintaining high academic standards. I received a Master’s of Science Degree in Forensic Scien ... read more

I have recently completed my masters program in computer science. Previously, I have worked on data migration projects in India for few US based clients, mainly involving Microsoft technology (VB.net, ASP.net and SQL Server). During my graduate work I have developed strong knowledge base around – Object Oriented Concepts, Operating Systems, Database and Scripting Language. As a graduate assistant, I did assist my professor in their research work related to “Virtual Reality”, which was subsequently published in IEEE. It (assistantship) also gave me an opportunity to tutor undergraduate students majoring in computer science (Set theory, OOPS Concepts, .Net framework etc.) and mathematics (Algebra, Calculus and Trigonometry).
Developing a good practical understanding of the subject matter has been my main motivation for tutoring students. My approach to curriculum based or assignment ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Through my teaching experience so far, I I believe that education is the key to success for young students. As a teacher I hope to motivate students in ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities and discovering what truly inspires them. During my graduate study I tutored undergraduate students for lab work in introductory courses and helped them to solve class assignments and presented research work through thesis defense, poster presentation and projects.
I love working with children. I encouraged learning by using a number of intelligent, hands-on activities and various forms of technology. By incorporating class-discussions, open-ended questions and cooperative learning I was able to facilitate a highly interactive and inquisitive class atmosphere. In addition I utilized weekly quizzes and monthly tests to track student progress and provide them constructive feedback. Also ... read more
