College Organic Chemistry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mountainhome, PA

As an undergraduate I had one year as a teaching assistant as a student at Lebanon Valley College,where I also I won the Freshman Achievement Award in Chemistry. As a graduate student, I had four years as a Teaching Assistant in Chemistry. I also tutored students one on one freshman chemistry for no fee. While in industry, I taught sessions in Chemistry as well as Chemical Safety to plant workers having no technical training. In industry I developed strong PC computer skills. My job provided me with frequent training in word processing, spreadsheet formulation, and statistial calculation. As such I feel I have very strong computer skills including Internet searching. To me chemistry has always been an exciting but often misunderstood science. The average person doesn't realize how much chemistry is around them and how chemistry is a fundamenal part of nature. I believe that relating

I believe I have a talent for taking a complex subject, and simplifying it in such a way that anyone can understand it. That is how I was able to successfully tutor many fellow students since high school. It is also how I managed to do well enough myself in science classes. While working for Professor Weiss at the Pennsylvania State University as an undergraduate researcher for four years, I gained experience in scanning tunneling microscopy, self-assembled monolayers, molecular electronics, and nanotechnology generally. I independently designed and carried out experiments relating to thermodynamics, scanning tunneling microscopy, and self-assembled monolayers. I was a part of other research projects involving the same, as well as nanoparticles, molecular electronics, and surface catalysis. Also , I was an active chemistry tutor, officially and unofficially.

I have three degrees, Masters in Biochemistry, B.A. in Biology, and an Associates Degree in Business Administration. Currently, I am involved in marketing for a law firm, and am responsible for writing Excel programs for customer tracking, website SEO, and generally raising the profile of the business, and analysis. I have been responsible for training many people, and am particulary good at training young people for the SAT. I am applying for the job I found on-line of full time science instructor, and I believe I can bring a practical as well as theoretical background to this position. I take pride in discerning each student's learning style and then teaching them in the most effective manner. I am a firm believer that all people are teachable, and that no real method is ultimately the best, but that the approach should be tailored to what the student is good at.

I have found teaching to be the most fulfilling and challenging experience of my life thus far. Each classroom environment and student is dynamic and different. My experience working with students from ages 10-25 has showed me the various ways that students learn and has challenged me to become an effective communicator in any situation. I believe that it is imperative to provide multiple pathways for learning to occur allowing all students to receive the opportunity to reach their highest potential. Learning begins with the students, and it is my hope to nurture the students education and positively change their lives. As an undergraduate at Penn State, I became interested in education through positive experiences with my own teachers. At this time, I was an active high school volleyball coach, an environmental science teaching assistant, and an environmental science camp counselor

I try to tailor my style to the student. Each student I had tutored when I was in college I had basically spoke with them, got to learn what they strong points were, their weaknesses, and areas that needed more base learning. I tailored lesson plans to help fill in their educational gaps, created small weekly assignments, and also helped with their current homework/lesson plan. I believe everyone learns in different ways. Some are more visual, others are more auditory so I tried to not only explain but also show by using whatever tools necessary/applicable (graphs, pictures, charts, etc.) My love of mathematics began while I was in elementary school--I looked forward to those classes and took as many as I could from my high school, Wyoming Area. I had, at one point in middle school, helped to tutor some students in one of my classes. While in college at Susquehanna University, I ha

I love working with students and teaching them something new. The best feeling is when someone understands a concept that they didn't before; when something "clicks" for a student, I feel as if my job as a tutor was done. I'm a very determined, persistent, caring, and patient person; all of these characteristics have helped me become a great tutor. As a current undergraduate chemistry and honors student at Arcadia University, I was recommended to become a tutor from several of my teachers my first year in college. I became a certified CRLA tutor and started tutoring my sophomore year of college; I've been tutoring ever since. I tutor chemistry, biology, math (beginner algebra, statistics, calculus I and II), and calculus based physics.

After 18 years in the pharmaceutical and medical fields I have set my sights to earning my teaching certification. I am a father of three, a Volunteer Fire Fighter and self described science buff. I am looking to tutor to help students to fine their love of science and also to help them build the study skills that will help to make school easier and improve grades. I use a very interactive teaching style which encourages students to think out a problem and to understand it in a way that makes most sense to them. I use analogies to make more complex concepts more accessible to the student, and as a way to help them to learn and understand the concepts.

I am a firm believer that teaching style should encompass diversity of instruction and assessment because the students themselves are very diverse. I will begin each lesson with an agenda and an intended learning goal. Instruction of the lesson will be delivered through a variety of media including text, videos, animations, etc. that would enhance the student’s learning. The student will then be given many opportunities to refine their understanding of the lesson through independent research during which I will provide insight and motivation wherever possible. Their assessment of the learning goal would range from a simple pen & paper test or quiz to an activity that allows to them to apply their attainment of the learning goal. I currently possess a bachelor’s degree in biological science from Keystone College as well as my PA Instructional Certification for Secondary Education in Biolo

Each student is different and hence my teaching approach is more on student specific. Teaching and learning are two major components of education; I would say it is a mutual effort. An effective teaching can generate interest in students and can make learning fun. It is very important to get feedback from the students about his/her understanding of the subject. I find pleasure to make a difference in all of my student’s life. My fascination for math and science started right before high school level, which drove me to have the Ph.D. degree in chemistry. As an Organic Chemist, I know the subject very well and had gained extensive teaching and research experiences at undergrad and graduate levels.

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 Science, a Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry, a Bachelors of Arts in English, an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts, General Studies and Education. I have a strong and eclectic background in a variety of subjects including a strong background math and science. I have the experience of both teaching and tutoring students. As an education major I was required to complete student teaching and creating lesson plans. I taught classes in chemistry, which included topics ranging from basic chemistry concept, biochemistry, and organic chemistry. 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 learn

As a student at Rutgers, I have been helping others with science related coursework for many years. As a senior, I decided to officially begin tutoring. I created a website called Premedtutors.com, and worked in the Rutgers Learning Center as a tutor in Biology, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Physics. I will be attending Drexel University College of Medicine this August. As a student who has learned firsthand how to navigate science course work, I feel like I can be an asset you company. I have always believed that the greatest mistake a student of science can make is to memorize the material; there is simply too much material to memorize. I tutor the way I learn: to work to make real connections between topics and avoid brute force meorization. The key to me is engage the student and attempt to make them like the material they are learning. I realize how competitive a

I Studied chemistry at the University of Wyoming. During my years there I helped tutor many friends and friends of friends in the subjects of Chemistry, Math and Physics. Also, I worked as a lifeguard and used my skills to become a head lifeguard for a summer at a girl scout camp. In charge of the lake shore, I instructed paddling and canoeing. I want to pursue a career in teaching chemistry because I believe in making a positive impact on young adults through education in science that can be applied to their lives. I learn visually and like to teach that way. I believe there is a great deal of concepts and memorization in Chemistry. I am not able to memorize all of the subject and would not ask a student to. Instead, explanation and demonstration of the concept, followed by memorization of the rule grants a greater understanding. The rule can then be applied to other areas and i
