My comments on tutoring Organic Chemistry : B.S. in Science (Life Science Option) from Penn State University, graduating with Distinction; Extensive education in Anatomy, Physiology, Biology, and Chemistry; Tutor for Penn State University in Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, and Math; Currently attending Touro University Nevada - College of Osteopathic Medicine, working toward my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.

I graduated from Penn State University in the Fall of 2010, earning my B.S. in Science (Life Science Option). My degree very closely related to the typical Biology degree; however, mine afforded me the ability to specifically tailor my upper level courses to focus more heavily on Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, and medically related Biology courses. While in college I worked as a tutor for Penn State and I also earned my paramedic certification and have nearly three years experience working in the field as a paramedic, allowing me to bring real world (medical) applications to many of the basic sciences. I moved to Henderson, NV recently to begin medical school.
I enjoy incorporating visual representations of the subject matter as well as using real world examples to solidify the information. As a college graduate and aspiring physician I am also fond of mnemonics as tools helpful ... read more

Using 3D animation to Explain Complex Subject Matter

Internationally published scientist (USA, France, Denmark) in the fields of neurobiology, muscle gene expression, high altitude physiology, diabetes and developmental biology. Instructor in 3D Animation, Forensic Animation, Character Animation, Graphic Art. We strongly believe that 3D animation and interactive tutorials help convert complex subject matter into easy-to-understand visuals. We have produced educational content for over 14 years - both to secondary and professional individuals and organizations. Our educational work has appeared on PBS, CNN, Nat Geo and several other educational venues.
I use animation and interactive application to help convey complex scientific and technical subject matter.

I graduate from UNLV with a degree in Biology-Ecology. I took classes up to Calculus II, Biochemistry II, Organic Chemistry II, Microbiology and Physics II for example. I have been teaching Spanish at elementary schools for the past 6 years. Classes are an hour, before and after school. There are usually between 15-30 students in each class. I have also tutored at Landero Learning Center for 3 years. I tutor elementary and middle school students in Science, Math, Social Studies and Spanish. I also go to an 8th grade student's home for private tutoring classes, 2 hours a day.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, especially children to whom I provide exposure and enthusiasm of learning and understanding, so that they not only understand what they need to know, but can discover that they want to know more and can find the information themselves. Because I continue to read books and search the internet to satisfy my own thirst for knowledge, I know where the resources are for my students. Each child wants to learn—it is a survival instinct; but each child is different and will learn in different ways. I have the patience and the creativity to find the most effective teaching method for the child’s academic success. And most of all, I believe learning is fun.
Excellence in education and curiosity in the natural world, instilled in me since elementary school, has driven me to be an “A” student through my college education. The curriculums in premed ... read more

Throughout my career as a student, I have always prided myself on the ability to help others learn. When I was a high school student, I was the one other students would come to with questions, and I always gave an answer with confidence. Then I got to college and began to study Biology. I was so amazed at the broad spectrum of the sciences, that I decided to add a Chemistry component to my college degree. Through Chemistry I could better understand Biology. Then I realized that the whole time, I was increasing my ability to teach and learn, so I added an Education component to my college degree, and that has brought me to the point I am at now.
As an education student, I saw many opportunities in that field. I also saw the diversity of learners, and the need for a diversity in the way education is approached. I began to challenge myself by removing limitations like language, and se ... read more

While in graduate school at the University of Connecticut, I was a teaching assistant for a chemical engineering course on polymers as well as freshman chemistry. Both teaching assignments included: grading homework/test papers and providing office hours for students to visit me and go over problem solving. The chemistry class required me to actually be the teacher for 30 students each semester. Also, as a graduate student teaching assistant for freshman chemistry, I provided help sessions for students going over past test problems to prepare them for upcoming tests. My senior year as an undergraduate at Purdue University. I was selected as a tutor to assist sophomore students with their homework.
My approach to tutoring is not simply to regurgitate what the teacher has already said in the classroom. Students need to have tried to solve the problems on their own before I help them ... read more

Only four years after immigrating from Belgium to the US, self motivated success and ambition allowed me to graduate Valedictorian of my high school class. I was offered a full ride scholarship to UC Berkeley, the #1 public university in the nation. I was pleased with my accomplishments and proceeded to keep following my dream of becoming a pharmacist. I was an Honors college graduate with a BA in Economics and a minor in Spanish but, because I was still interested in health care, my courses ranged from macroeconomics and Spanish American literature to biology, physics and organic chemistry. Extracurricular activities as a volunteer tutor and mentor have allowed me to develop the skills and patience to be an effective and compassionate teacher.

My teaching style is one of non-confrontational teaching. I have had professors who did that, and it only serves to put the student on edge and not lend itself to learning. I prefer to find out what the pupil is having trouble with and then see if I can find an interest in the concept for the student to make it relevant and help him retain the concepts involved. I like to interject humor and kidding and self deprecating comments to let the person know that he/she is not the only one having problems so the student doesn't feel devastated and hopeless. I like to reinforce the positive learning curve and support positive strides in learning and progress.

I get a thrill from experiencing a student achieving the Ah-ha! moment of learning. I employ multiple modalities of teaching, since most students have multiple modalities of learning. My goal is to facilitate my students to become independent learners. I employ Socratic teaching methods. I don't give answers. That's too easy. I have found that students retain learning when they work through the solution. I offer students skills to ask questions about their world.
I am fortunate to have multiple intelligence. Since an early age, I have been motivated to increase my knowledge base and skill levels. My desires have motivated me to earn a double majored BS in agriculture, an applied science, and a MS in biology. I taught laboratory classes while I was a student. I began working as a tutor in 1999. This motivated me to become teacher trained. I am an AVID certified tutor. I have tutore ... read more

I have taught for many years both in Kenya and in US. This has afforded me the opportunity to work with students of diverse cultures. I have tutored in mostly in Math and Sciences. I have tutored students for AtoZ tutoring where I assisted in reading comprehension and grammar. I currently work in a project based Charter school in Las Vegas.
Having many years of teching experience, I have always used a child centered approach. I normaly use a teaching style which is specific for a child. I normally take some time to identify the student's learing style and then use it to teach them.Since I work in an interest based charter school, I have valuable experience in assisting students apply themselves in ways they like.
