I have a masters in chemistry with a specialization in organic chemistry. I taught college level organic chemistry for two years, and currently work as an organic chemist in academia. I completed a Masters in Chemistry in 2009, and since then I have worked as an organic chemist in an academic setting. During graduate school, I taught college level chemistry and organic chemistry in a laboratory setting. I prepared lectures and handouts, held study groups in small and large group settings, and worked with students one on one. After graduate school, I continued to tutor chemistry, organic chemistry, and algebra to students at other Universities in one on one settings. I find that the best way to tutor is to use a combination of different methods. For example, I think that pictures/ball and stick structures, reading materials, and having a discussion about the question at hand are all

I believe that people learn in many different ways, and the key to effective teaching is using a combination of visual and auditory cues. I am a patient person, and I'm extremely passionate about chemistry and would love to help others discover their potential in this field. Because math and science go hand in hand, I understand the importance of pinpointing exactly what the student is struggling with. Because of this, I am extremely good and tutoring in both math and chemistry simultaneously. My goal is to not only teach chemistry and math, but to give my students the tools they need to study and learn effectively on their own. I also believe that positive reinforcement is the best way to encourage students, and teaching a student chemistry and math is just as important as instilling confidence in them. I graduated from the University of California, San Diego in 2003 with a BS in Che

I enjoy both the one on one mentoring and also engaging students in small groups and as an entire classroom. The one on one mentoring gives me a feel for the best way for that particular student to learn, therefore I can adjust my teaching style to their strengths. I really enjoy working with students and I feel that education is the most important aspect of an individuals life. I have taught at John W. North High School in Riverside, Ca. One of my assignments was to fill in for an AP Statistics teacher while she was on maternity leave. Since that day I have feel in love with biostatistics and took all of my graduate level electives in Biostatistics courses.

I have enjoyed teaching ever since I was given the opportunity to teach a lab as an undergraduate student at San Diego State University. My enthusiasm for teaching continued into my graduate studies. I was a graduate TA instructor at the University of California at San Diego. I completed the university’s required course on student teaching and taught undergraduates general chemistry and all levels of undergraduate organic chemistry. These sections involved a traditional classroom and averaged about 15 students in size. I was able to refine my preparation, lecture style, board work, and pace during these sessions.

I have taught Chemistry most recently but also Biology, Earth Science, Physical Science, and Math. I have been involved with teacher training in the SUHSD by conducting 9 training days for the SDAIE program.(methods for second language learners) I have five years of teaching Chemistry in African countries, one year at the AP level. I have always encouraged my students to see me for extra help and so have often tutored these intereted individuals. Tutoring is not the same as classroom teaching. The first requirement is to clearly identify what the student is interested in gaining from the sessions. Then it is necessary to evaluate his/her skills needed to acheive this goal. It is most important to terrace instruction which will reinforce the student's strenghts as they add on new understanding in context with what they already know. Maintaining this level of confidence will more likely re

I am a synthetic Organic Chemist with over 7 years of industrial experience with Pfizer Inc. During this time period I routinely shared research progress with my peers and helped educate them on new reactions, instrumentation, techniques and methodology. During my studies at Kalamazoo College, I successfully completed some coursework in Education and have always wanted to pursue a career in Teaching/Tutoring. My Liberal Arts background encouraged a well-rounded education that included English, Spanish, History, Science, Mathematics, and the Arts. I am a patient teacher that understands that some concepts are not easily understood and simply repeating yourself without changing your tack will not bring about understanding. Providing real world examples that are relevant to a student's interests is one powerful way to encourage learning. With regards to math and science, I've often fou

My approach to tutoring is that all students want to learn, even if they act otherwise. It is my job to make the subject more relevant, interesting and understandable for them. I assume everyone is capable of learning the material and try different ways of introducing and reinforcing information until it sinks in. I believe parents have a hard enough job, and it is sometimes best for someone else to tackle school subjects where the kids are not thriving. Kids often benefit from a fresh perspective and if their self-esteem is at all suffering from difficulties at school, having a new person involved in their lives can help them feel more confident again. As a student, I loved school so much so that I went on to get a graduate degree in science. Science and writing have been huge parts of my professional career (non-tutoring) and I have worked with government research entities, an en

I love interaction and try to encourage as much participation as possible by asking questions. I feel that people learn best when they have an active role in the process. I also try to explain things with analogies as often as possible and have found that what might seem like a very simple analogy can often be the best way to "unlock" a person's ability to understand a concept. I have also learned that teaching is all about communication, and believe it is more that helpful to try and adopt one's communication style to meet different ways different people have of understanding. I love teaching and explaining new ideas. Even as a Biology student at Point Loma Nazarene University, I was working with other students to study in groups and always learned best by teaching the things I understood. I have experience working for Kaplan as an MCAT instructor, and have given lectures in biology

I started tutoring when I was a college student. Upon my entrance to the SDSU Department of Chemistry, I was granted an opportunity to teach as a TA in Chemistry. I had been teaching for 4 years before I received my master's degree in December of 2007. In these 4 years, I always had good evaluations from students. As a result of my hard work, the SDSU Residential Education Office decided to hire me as a contracted tutor in the dormitory area in 2007. In addition to teaching and tutoring at school, I also teach as a private math and science tutor. I strongly believe my experiences will help a lot. My style of teaching is professional and fun. I usually make friends with students so that they don’t feel stressed and bored. Too much pressure doesn’t help learning. I think students can learn better in a relaxing environment. In addition, when I am teaching, I usually make examples from daily

During high school I attended a special program, Health and Medical Occupations Academy, developed for students who wanted a career in the medial field. My high school classes were oriented towards the medical profession. In addition I was required to take anatomy/ physiology, biology, and several nursing classes. I am currently a 2 year medical student. Before entering medical school I worked voluntarily for an orphanage in Mexico. During my time at the orphanage (about 4 years) I participated in tutoring the children, of all ages, with school work and English. I have worked with small children to adults, teaching English and school subjects. I work best with pre-teens- adults, however have no problem teaching small children. Tutoring is important for me because many times during my educational career I have needed tutoring myself, in regards to language barriers.

Experience has taught me that students learn best when they are engaged in the material. A good instructor will be able to take concepts that appear to be mundane or seemingly irrelevant and put them in a context where the students can relate to the material. Once engaged, then the students need to actively participate in the problem solving process to truly cement the learning. I have been engaged in teaching for over a decade. I taught organic chemistry tutoring sessions while an undergraduate, and then continued teaching and tutoring while earning my Ph.D. in chemistry. In addition to my experience as a teaching assistant, I was given the opportunity to prepare and deliver lectures to over 400 organic chemistry students at the University of Michigan. As a researcher for a pharmaceutical company, I have continued to teach chemistry and biology to the associates I mentor as well as

I have tutored HS 9-12 and undrgraduate students individually in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and for SAT/ACT testing since the late 1990's. I received teaching credentials for teaching 9-12 Mathematics in California in 2005. I have worked as a Math/Sciences substitute in the Grossmont Union High School District since that time. I have also worked with A+ Professional Tutoring -- in San Diego County -- and Tutor.com -- online -- for many years, in every level of the Sciences and Mathematics. I love Mathematics and I often wear my heart on sleeve; when it comes to Math, I try to infect the student with that bug. I believe that most students have issues with their immediate teaching and, as a result, feel that math has no meaning to them, hence I teach Mathematics in a contextual manner, showing deep meaning for the drills imposed in the classroom curriculums most experience da

I am an enthusiastic and driven college graduate of two time consuming majors, BS in Chemistry and a BFA in Dance. Along with two majors, I also participated in many extracurricular activities such as working, teaching children, dancing in multiple performances, baby sitting, etc. Due to my different majors, I have broadened my experience and am able to teach/tutor in both the sciences and the arts as well as math. I have over seven years experience with children whether its baby sitting, teaching or being a junior camp counselor. I desire to gain more experience in tutoring as well as working with children again, hitting two birds with one stone. Teaching and working with children has been a passion for me since middle school when I was still a child myself. My advantage of working with children this young is that I understand them better then and now as an adult so I can find an ef
