High School Chemistry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Orem, UT

I love to teach classes in chemistry . When I clarify a difficult concept, it is always rewarding to see a twinkle of understanding in my student's eyes. I firmly believe that what I am today is because of my teachers, who took time to patiently explain the basic scientific concepts to me. You can learn almost anything if you understand the basics. My doors are always open to curious minds! I have a Masters degree in Chemistry from Portland State University. I have cumulative 10+ years of work experience in diverse academic and research positions in universities and pharmaceutical companies in India and United States. I find breaking down complex scientific ideas into bite-sized chunks to be extremely rewarding, especially when I see the smiles on the faces of my students when they make attain a new level of understanding. From my experience as a high-scoring chemistry student at Univers

I know chemistry, but I have only taken the general college chemistry courses. I am a College Student working towards getting a Secondary Education Teaching degree in Biology and Chemistry.

I have spent two years in the great land of Russia. I love the country and all the people. For the most part I am a smart cookie. I love life and try to learn as much as I can while I can. Fun but serious.

Served a 2-year french-speaking mission and am studying it at BYU. Have taken advances grammar classes and literature classes. I received the best grade in my grammar class. It is true that I took a couple years of high-school french but I mainly taught it to myself during my mission. I did serve with native companions so I spoke primarily French for months at a time. Also have done some French translating work.

Hello, my name is Lauren and I absolutely love tutoring! I have tutored since I was in high school (about 5 years of experience total)and more recently have worked as a Peer Tutor at Westminster College, as well as teaching private voice and piano lessons. As a biology major, I'm most experienced in science and math related areas, particularly general biology, general chemistry, statistics, algebra, and geometry. I am also very qualified to tutor ACT and SAT test prep, as I scored extremely high in all areas of the two tests, earning a 34 on the ACT and a 2190 on the SAT. I'm also qualified to tutor in several humanities areas, especially writing-a skill strongly emphasized by Westminster's intensive and selective Honors Program. I have also taken AP tests in English Literature (5), Human Geography (5), European History (4), and American History (4) and IB tests in English (6) a

During my time serving as a missionary in Russia I knew the language so well that I could speak all day everyday in Russian for months. I have enrolled at the University of Utah studying biomedical engineering. I am in Calc two right now and if you know about calculus then you know that I am well equipped to teach any math below calculus.

Hands on approaches mixed with worldly knowledge, and a very patient style. Experience throughout school, work and personal experience dealing with the mentally challenged and dyslexia. my best friend had a son who was dyslexic and also he had ADD and I got him to trust me in babysitting and I taught him various things. I taught him how to read and write he could not accomplish that on his own. He was 11 at the time and I think with kids you have to be creative to teach them and I am very creative. I also have an aunt who is mentally handicapped, and I love spending time with her she is a very giving person. They teach me and it is always a joy to work with them and give something back.

I think all children are driven to learn, and if directed with a little help, everyone can learn how science changes peoples lives. I feel more like a coach and less like a lecturer. If you can make connections between things they know, and the things you are trying to teach them, they will have something to "hang" that new knowledge on! I have been a classroom teacher for the last 18 years. I have taught in both Public Junior High and High Schools, as well as Private School. I love teaching science, and love to make the class exciting. It really gets students going when you use current events to teach and when kids debate issues, it is a great learning opportunity!

I believe above all that patience is key in teaching people of all ages. If the teacher's listening and communication skills are focused on the individual(s) being taught, the learner will let the teacher know when they are grasping and/or absorbing new material as well as when they(the student) reach their capacity. I believe that in learning it's important to pace one's self, allow the mind time to digest new material, and in finding areas of learning that spark passion. Although I think periodic breaks are important, I also believe in advancing somewhat quickly(according to the students' abilities) and in using real-time examples and experience to facilitate and solidify learning. I do my best to teach kindly, effectively, and maturely. As a student at UofU and BYU I tutored and was tutored myself. While attending BYU I worked in the student advisement center part-time, mentoring

My experience in academic and service pursuits have consistently improved my education and abilities to transfer knowledge. I have earned a BA in Latin American Studies with a minor in Business Administration. My training in the sciences includes the prerequisite classes for acceptance to dental schools and extra training in cellular biology. I have participated in research during my undergraduate education, which has familiarized me with researching and understanding scientific literature. Over the past several years, I have trained many people from different cultures, countries, and backgrounds, including Peru, Argentina, and the United States. Topics that I have taught and tutored include Spanish, English, mathematics, and sciences. I have experience working with students from many different backgrounds and cultures. I find that patience, friendliness, and genuine care and conce

I feel that repetition is one key that helps students grasp difficult concepts. I start by helping the student understand what the question is asking. Then I will do a problem step by step, showing the student what I am doing. Next, I will have the student do the same problem, but recreate the steps that I had shown them, guiding them along the way. After this type of practice, we will move on to similar problems, using the same steps that we previously used. I have found that this system helps me learn the information and retain it. I will be patient because I understand that these concepts do not come easily. My teaching style can be easily adapted to meet the student’s needs. As I prepared for Medical School, I wanted to achieve the most possible out of my undergraduate experience at Brigham Young University. I chose Biology as my major, knowing that it would challenge me. I

As a tutor I strive to focus on the needs of each individual student. I find great fulfillment in getting to know each student on a personal basis, which allows me to develop trust and mutual respect. One of the most effective ways of encouraging learning is to ask questions. In doing so, I promote the development of critical thinking, which ultimately benefits the student the most in the long run. It is very rewarding when the student arrives at the answer on his or her own, and thereby increases his or her self esteem. I do my best to create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere by exhibiting patience, compassion, and positivity. I also do my best to convey my passion for the subject in order to motivate learning. As a Biology student at Brigham Young University I was hired to be a tutor in the Life Sciences Learning Center. I tutored college students with a focus on introductory

I have degrees in a wide variety of scientific fields including a BS in zoology, a BA in chemistry, an MS in ethnobotany, and a PhD in physiology and developmental biology. I have also studied pharmacology and horticulture. I have years of experience as a teaching assistant for both introductory and advanced college biology courses. I also taught AP biology at a private school. I have performed a wide variety of research so I have a good understanding of experimental techniques and data analysis as well. I love to teach basic biological principles to people who previously thought they were not interested in science and watching them become enthusiastic. I am well qualified to help you understand, appreciate and enjoy the sciences. I like to use an interactive teaching style in which there is lots of discussion between teacher and student. This provides immediate feedback on the student
