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 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 tools to store information.
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 recent ... read more

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 premedical studies, zoology, and biological sciences, provided me the knowledge to comfortably teach and discuss math and science to all levels of pre-secondary students, while working as a temporary/substitute science/math teacher, and to college undergraduate students, during assignment as a graduate teaching assistant. A summer job as an instructor of nutrition, introduced me to teaching older adults. Tenure as a Chemist for 30 years permitted me to train and mentor new employees, coworkers, and student interns.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored and helped children from high school and young adults in college. I like to be friendly to those I tutor and am very easy going. I am very patient with people and do not become easily frustrated. I believe everyone can learn in their own time. I'll try my best to make sure everyone has a pleasant and effective learning environment.
I have graduated from UCSD with a major in Human Biology and a minor in Theatre. Through my schooling, I have learned a wide array of science from biology, chemistry, and physics. From lab reports and 2 years of intensive writing courses, I have a developed a strong foundation ins writing essays, papers, and research reports. I have been a Teaching Assistant for a semester in General Biology. I am able to help people learn to the best of their abilities if they need it.

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 searching for alternative techniques to teaching students of different cultural, socioeconomic, religious and behavioral backgrounds. Through my efforts, I found that to teach is to learn twice over, and that teaching can be beneficial for the student as well as the educator. I fell in love with education, and will never look back!
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 spec ... read more

Although each child has his or her own style of learning, I believe in bringing out their highest potential by feeding them with the kind of construcive criticism and positive reinforcement that motivates every young mind. I am patient, respectful and warm. My hope as a tutor is to help students learn more easily by providing them with essential tools they will be able to use for the rest of their lives. In my 20 + years as a student, I have become convinced that a great teacher is essential to bolstering confidence, passion and motivation to learn. I intend to inspire all three.

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 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 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 tutored middle school, high school, and college students in biology, chemistry, physics, environmental sciences, title-I math and language arts, prealgebra, HS algebra I & II, college algebra, pre-calculus. In my tutoring I work with study, organization, reading, and vocabulary development.

My professional experience and educational experience have been intertwined for many years. As a laboratory technician, I not only learned how important accuracy and precision are when performing analyses, but I also learned how truly interesting science could be. That intrigue led me to supplementing my chemistry education with biological courses and changing my professional path to pharmaceutical research. Inherent in research, are aspects of imagination and novelty. Although oral and written communication skills are important in science, I am increasingly improving my communication skills as a substitute teacher and as a law school student.
I love children and I love being able to share my love of learning with them. Children want to learn and there is nothing better than seeing a child’s face light up when they “get it.” Even though I have science degrees, I have never f ... read more
