Chemistry/Science Tutor in Lehigh Valley Area

I try to use real world applications related to the student's area of interest to make the material stick in the student's head rather than the ineffective method of brute memorization.
I have more than 8 years of tutoring experience in chemistry/basic science at the college level. I can help with methods to study for test, work on course material, and develop a deeper understanding of the course material. I currently work in the chemical industry which helps me apply the material the student is learning to real-life research and development of products. I recieved my PhD in physical chemistry from Penn State University and tutored my entire time there.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with students at all levels from pre-k to doctoral students and a present I tutor Master's degree students on how to write their dissertations. It is my contention that students are capable of far more than has been expected of them. The result of my perspective is that I now have students who are college professors themselves, teachers and IT professionals. Few if any of my students leave me without have a more global perspective of the world and a desire to make it a better place to live.
I began my college career at Columbia University, N.Y. where I matriculated in the top 5% of entrants. I moved to Africa where I lived and returned 10 years later. I joined the United Nations where I worked at headquarters New York and later as a field officer in the Middle East and South Africa. Part of my assignment during my stay in the Middle East was to teach the local staf ... read more

I love teaching and working with children and young adults. I truly believe that everyone has the ability to learn, but it’s just a matter of which way works best for them.

I earned my MA degree in Biology from Villanova University in December 1997. For the next two years I earned my living by tutoring students in biology and math as a side business until I landed a research position at Princeton University in 1999. Since then I have been doing laboratory research in the pharmaceutical industry. My extensive background in Biology has allowed me to learn several aspects in the field that I would not have learned in the classroom. Although my tutoring was not through official channels, I feel that my experience taught me that each student is different and responds to different types of approaches of learning. For example, some people learn best by remembering acronyms, while others are better at visualization. The job of a good tutor is to figure out which way works best for their student and proceed from there.
My approach to tutoring is to fi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Passion, selflessness, and compassion are some reasons for wanting to be a teacher/tutor. I would want to know all that I possibly can learn about my students' life styles, behaviors, wants, and needs in order to help them achieve and learn as much as possible. I would encourage my students to let them tell me as much as they possibly can about their problems, wants, and needs. I, as a teacher, am a role model to be trusted, and I would like my students to put their faith in me as their leader, role model, and hero.
I have demonstrated competence in successfully managing a profitable retail business. The necessary skills are invaluable. They can be used now in a classroom to help me become one of the best teachers/tutors in your school system.

Working with children and watching them learn, is the greatest joy for me. Children are like sponges, they want to soak up all the knowledge that is out there, but someone has to put it there for them.

All students have their unique ways of learning, and I'm here to help your child find academic success. My goal is to be one of those few educators that will affect your child's future. My number one mission is to get your child to understand and apply the knowledge that is before them.

A Little Bit About Me...

Children love to learn and feel a sense of accomplishment and self-worth when they are successful. I greatly enjoy helping children learn. Each child has the capacity to learn and it is the teachers job to present the material in a manner which is conductive to the child’s understanding. Providing tools to help each student comprehend the material is essential. Many students are helped with additional reading strategies, or using a math manipulative to make an abstract concept understandable, or a graphic organizer to help understand new content material. The key is to provide additional methods or strategies so each student is successful. I have a passion to see each child succeed and reach their goals.

Since each child learns differently and has a unique way of understanding information, I have used many modalities in the course of my teaching. Most recently, teaching young children with specified learning disabilities has taught me to try a variety of activities to facilitate learning. I have learned to be more patient, to take a greater amount of time in explaination and teaching, and to use more hands-on materials to aid in understanding of what is being taught.
As a Graduate in the field of Education, I have worked with a variety of students from daycare up to grade 8. I have also had the opportunity to teach children with specified learning disabilities, most common being Autism and ADHD. I have taught in a self-contained 1st grade classroom for 7 years then moved up to teaching 6th and 7th grade students in Reading, Math, and Language Arts who experienced difficulty learn ... read more

I earned my BS in physics and spent over a year working on medical device research. As an undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh I spent some time in the Physics Undergraduate Lab helping students in the introductory courses. I also spent time as a Team Leader for Mission Acceptance, a program that pairs successful college students with local high school students and provides mentoring in the college selection and admissions process. These experiences allowed me to learn my audience and assess their needs and also understand the mentality of high school students.
I loved working with the students in the Mission Acceptance program. I worked as a team leader, so I had the opportunity to work with a group of fellow mentors as well as students, which provided me experience with a variety of different students. I learned that each student has his or her own path to understanding ... read more

A tutor has a unique opportunity to quickly learn the teaching styles required for the individual student. This is best accomplished by listening carefully to the student to establish where the roadblocks to learning are occurring. Ultimately, the student and tutor need to function as a team with a single objective. I feel that I have a passion for learning and that passion is felt by each of my students. If I can get each student to admit that "Math isn't so bad after all" then learning will follow naturally.
My undergraduate degree is in Civil Engineering and I have recently become eligible to teach elementary education, middle school science and middle school math in New Jersey. I have had success as a tutor on several occasions as an undergraduate teaching assistant and a peer tutor. Currently, I am assisting two students in high school math and they are both respondi ... read more

As an educator I have the opportunity to help my students find their strengths, build on them, and guide them on their future path. This opportunity can also be a challenge. It becomes my responsibility to rise to the challenge and be the person they say was important in shaping their future. I want to be prepared to help students recognize their strengths and how those apply to a profession, how to prepare for the transition from school to the workforce, the military, or college, and how to successfully embark on their post-school life.
I have been an educator for 23 years,as an elementary school teacher, and in special education at the secondary level. I have a master's degree in learning disabilities, and have worked on a Child Study Team for the past 14 years. I believe all children can learn if taught to their individual learning style.
