Inorganic Chemistry was my favorite class of my academic career. I had fantastic teachers and decided when I had the opportunity to give back to academia, I would teach inorganic chemistry. After I finished my Ph.D I became an adjunct professor at a local community college. I have been teaching chemistry for five years. The most important aspect of my teaching style is my ability to relax my students. I believe if you are in a relaxed environment, learning becomes easy. Chemistry is a difficult subject for many students and I am successful in giving my students the confidence that they can indeed understand the subject matter.

I like to discover what my students already know about the topic and to expose any misconceptions. Brainstorming activities work well for me. I like to help define the topic in common terms, not the classic dictionary method. I use presentation, discussion, videos and hands on activities. Most of what I do is inquiry based. I have a passion for teaching but waited until I gained some "real world" experience. I found that this has helped me relate to my students since I am able to make meaningful connections to their learning.

I love teaching, coaching and mentoring children. My pleasure derives from your child’s success at school or in their lives. I have tutored children at several levels, with varying degrees of leaning capacities. I teach them techniques to learn, remember, apply the knowledge and take different types of tests/quizzes. I spend considerable amount of time in learning students’ educational background and preparing myself to teach such that tutoring does not feel a burden to a kid, and kids show more interest in learning and absorbing relative subject matters. I take pride and strive to make a significant contribution to building career of their choices to all of students I teach. · Well Experienced Tutor, over 25 years, for Mathematics and Sciences · Expert tutoring for SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT · Expert in Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, Trigonometry, Statistics - all levels starting with Basic

I completed my Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Biochemistry and received my Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree in 2005. Currently, I’m an adjunct faculty at the Columbia-Greene Community College (SUNY) in the division of science. I was an adjunct faculty at the College of Saint Rose in the department of communication science and disorders and an adjunct faculty at the College of Mildred Elley in the department of medical studies. I worked as a teaching assistant in the department of chemistry at the University at Stony Brook, department of Gross Anatomy in St. Christopher’s College of Medicine, and the department of Genetics/Biochemistry in St. Christopher’s College of Medicine. My enclosed resume provides more details on my qualification. I would like to teach a student up to their maximum knowledge level in that specific subject.

I find working with children and students to be a very rewarding area of work. I love to learn and therefore love to help others learn. I am a strong believer in that with the right encouragement and hard work all children are able to learn. I believe it is important to make education interesting for children and provide "real world" examples of how each subject is important, as often times children find subjects they are learning to be useless in their lives. I hope that through tutoring each of my students will gain a greater understanding of the importance of and education and also a greater love of learning. While obtaining my biology degree from LeMoyne college I worked with underpriviledged children in an afterschool program. This program was aimed at keeping these children off the street while their parents were at work along with helping them improve their grades. My duties

I teach others by learning and adapting myself. I love finding new and creative ways to explain familiar concepts. For my degree I had to take a year of chemistry, which I immediately fell in love with, even though I had hated it in high school. I found myself tutoring the other students in my class for fun and even took two organic chemistry classes as electives just because I thought it was so interesting. I consider my late discovery that I love earth science and chemistry to be proof that a seemingly difficult or impossible subject can be made easy and fun with the right point of view and attitude. I hated science and math when I was in junior high and high school. When I asked my teachers questions, they didn't give me the answers I was looking for. Luckily, I got into a great university and found out, after taking a few core classes, that I actually love science. Once I really un

I have taught science in grades 7 -12 in a 5 different public schools over a course of 15 years. I taught high school level Earth science for 2 years, HS Biology and AP Biology for 12 years, HS Chemistry for 8 years and Physics for 4 years. I taught 7 and 8th grade in the Albany Public schools for 4 years. I currently work with adults with disabilities teaching them work and social skills and will be teaching a Child Development course beginning 9/29/10. I have done individual and small group tutoring in Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Junior High school level science. I am well versed in the NY state science curriculum and requirements for the Regent Exams. I have always enjoyed working with young people.

I have a background in a diverse range of subjects, and I really want to help students do the best that they can do. Working for the past 4 years in education, I have been involved with tutoring students of all different backgrounds and all different ages, and have made a difference with the lives of many students. My teaching style is constructive and supportive. I also offer support for college admissions. I graduated from Union College Cum Laude in Biology and Sociology, and a Masters degree in Health Administration from the Union Graduate College. I am also going to Medical School next year. I have gained a diverse educational background both in the hard sciences (calculus, biology, chemistry), as well as a liberal arts education (sociology, English, ethics courses). I have also tutored at the KUMON math and reading center in math and English, and tutored at a local impoverished elem

I graduated with a major in Chemistry and minor in Biology. I have volunteered at homework centers at a couple libraries in Minnesota. Also I volunteered at a Multicultural School to help new immigrant children learn english and assist them in preparing for the GED exam. One summer I worked at a science camp to organize and coordinate fun and interesting science workshops for young children. I enjoy working with children and sharing the joy of learning with them. Children are by nature are very inquisitive. I strive to bring out the best in them by making learning a fun experience. I believe all children have the potential to succeed and I find great satisfaction in helping them reach that goal.

My initial concern at Union College was about the relationship I would have with students. The students and I quickly came to know and respect each other. Their success became my only focus. I worked long hours preparing lectures and problems. In return I expected them to work hard to learn the material. The concepts in organic chemistry are not that difficult, but students are easily intimidated by them, so I use a lot of non-chemistry analogies and real stories from research to help them gain a basic understanding. I learned to study their faces during lectures and would try a new approach when they were puzzled. I also emphasized the importance of doing problems so that they would apply what they had learned. My attitude was that the students and I were in this together and our success was measured by their level of achievement. I received my PhD degree in 1983, and then worke

My teaching style involves the introduction and application of the concepts to people in such way that they can apply, not by memorization. The presentation of additional problem sets, examples related to the school level they are working are fundamental to transmit efficiently the concepts. At the end of each training or class, I normally summarize and double-check with the trainee or students that the entire concepts taught were clear and all expectations are met. I am a Ph. D. Organic Chemist with experience in synthesis of organic compounds from laboratory to commercial plant. During my entire career, a considerable part of my work included training of personnel at all education levels (from HS to Ph. D. level) and involved the presentation of scientific work to the academic and business community at all levels. This kind of training is related with organic chemistry, safety and qual
