MCAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Roxbury, CT

I enjoy helping people acquire knowledge. I have experienced the full spectrum of both poor and excellent instructors myself, so I am aware of what needs to be done in order to facilitate learning. I assess the abilities of each person I work with and develop an approach accordingly. I think that a combination of patience and humor can provide for an outstanding learning environment, and I employ this approach when teaching. Both my Education and work experiences have thoroughly enhanced both my knowledge, as well as my communications skills. Having a degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry, I have attained knowledge in various fields of science. I have been gifted with a natural ability to communicate, and my experiences in both work and study have enhanced both my verbal and my written communication skill. Both in college as well in camps, I have had the privilege of tutoring peopl

I have a pretty high energy style of teaching. I like to get students actively involved in asking questions because this can allow them to learn at a much faster rate. I'm very much into teaching the 'larger picture' when it comes to academics. My philosophy is that if a student can get engaged in understanding the theories behind details then the details become easy. I can bring this philosophy to your children and teach them how to become excited about school. As a graduate of Amherst College, I have been fortunate to have a great education. I majored in Political Science and consider myself a great writer. I also completed all the premedical requirements, and have taken 10 lab science courses in college from Physics to Biology. I would be comfortable teaching Writing and Reading Comprehension up through the college level. I would also excel at teaching science through intro col

I taught a computer "cap-stone" class to graduating seniors part-time at the Katherine Gibbs school for 1 semester. There were approximately 14 Seniors in the class and we utilized all of the Office programs from the creation of letterheads to the writing of business correspondence to mythical persons about various subjects. Subsequently I tutored high school seniors for the Princeton Review, an SAT prep business, for about a year and a half. This experience included working with many types of students and was a perfect venue to utilize my extensive consulting experience. As a turnaround management consultant for over 25 years, I was continually "teaching" people to implement the changes required to succeed. My teaching style is a combination of serious, in-depth theory and practical examples to demonstrate such theories, all with a hint of humor, followed by significant practice

From my School days I was very much interested in Math and also used to score good grades in Math, So most of the students from my class apart from my best friends used to come and get tutoring. Due to the interest in Math Teaching and Computers, I choose Math and Computers as Majors in my BS and MS. I have also done B.Ed degree to get well versed with teaching skills and methods. From my High School onwards, I not only have desire and passion to tutor, but also I have gained much experience especially in one on one tutoring. My students like me and how hard the topic is they understands it very well, because I don't leave them until they get it, as I always try different methods and techniques to make the subject easy to the students. As you will note, my teaching style is direct and decisive, yet flexible in responding to constantly changing demands. Throughout my career, I have had th

I believe organic chemistry can be very simple if you work hard enough at it. I can work with as many as four students at a time, and keep repeating a topic with a student until he or she understands the subject completely. I have a PhD in Organic Chemistry, a subject that is a major hurdle for pre-medical students. During my time at Tufts University, I have mentored many undergraduate students. Additionally, I won an award for Most Outstanding Teaching Assistant in the Fall of 2000.

I believe that one of the challenges in teaching is motivating the students to be interested in learning. I believe that a good teacher who truly wants to instill life-long learning skills in his/her students challenges them by engaging and empowering them to become independent/critical thinkers/problem-solvers rather than making them dependent on him/her or on "route"/"regurgitative" learning. One must find the best approach to present the material and convey the essential elements of a lesson plan or rather “instructional session” in the classroom and the laboratory. I have experience teaching Chemistry, Biology and Earth Science. I am a native Italian and French speaker, having been born to Franco-Italian parents in Montreal, Quebec, the second largest French speaking city in the world. I have years of teaching experience at the college and high school levels. I am NY State Certifi
