In tutoring any of the traditional subjects (Latin, Greek, formal/informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking), I emphasize the objectives common to them all: (1) acquisition of context-specific vocabulary, (2) a feel for the flexibility and polysemy of a given word's lexical-semantic meaning, (3) a comprehension of the text's thematic, stylistic, and evaluative undertones and progression. The three, taken together, require us to formulate arguments by sifting through material, with an eye to analysis on how texts are crafted for presentation in terms of form and content. The result is an understanding on how these three are essential for reading, arguing, and, ultimately, thinking critically. Subjects Tutored: Besides the aforementioned subjects, I also tutor for calculus and chemistry.

More About This Tutor...

I like to keep a student well organized. This allows me to pinpoint exactly where the problems are so I can concentrate the time on the problem areas. Organization also ensure the student keeps up with the material in the class. I am available to help out with questions assigned in homework or classwork, but my objective is not to merely have the student complete an assignment, but rather understand the topic that was covered. I strive to have the student learn the material rather than just fact recall. I try to make the topics interesting to the student by relating the material to their interests.
As I entered college, I quickly was labeled a tutor by my friends. They would find me before exams so I could give them a crash course on what they needed to know before an exam. Little by little, I had a following of friends and acquaintances who were reliant on me to do well in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My style is dependent on the student. While the end result is having a student understand the material, the way of achieving this varies with each person. Some students require a lot of hand holding while some require a more hands off approach. To achieve understanding I will cater to the students needs.
I have tutored high school students who are college bound during my undergraduate years at William Paterson University of New Jersey. I also tutored my fellow undergraduates. I then pursued a doctorate and was active in many peer study groups where were tutored each other in neuroscience and organic chemistry. I have a love for science which shows through my enthusiasm in imparting scientific knowledge to others.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always enjoyed teaching. It all began when I was really young and I would force my friends to play the students while I played the teacher. I cannot deny the fact that one of the reasons I love to teach is actually quite selfish. I definitely feel a great sense of satisfaction when a student completes a task to the best of their abilities, especially when I have helped them reached that goal. I like to be creative and use humor as my guide in teaching. I feel that comfort is most important in a learning environment and with my personality and my skills I can create such a place for your child. With everything that I have learned and everything that I have yet to learn, I think I can help your child meet his/her potential.

I like to motivate my students to learn science. One way to do that is to trigger their curiosity and use that to guide them through the subject matter. I encourage them to practice problems repeatedly. This helps to embed the concepts in the brain. I am patient and easy to get along with.
I have taught college level general and organic chemistry as a graduate student at the University of Southern California. I also have a background in Biochemistry which helps me venture into biological sciences. I am currently working at a biotechnology company as a Post Doctoral Fellow.

More About This Tutor...

I like to use the hands on approach. I find out what the weaknesses are of my students and address the topics by giving a general review. I present a problem for them to work out. After a few minutes, I ask them what they think is the best way to approach the problem. If they cannot come up with one, I then guide them through the appropriate thinking pattern in order for them to solve the problem. For me repetition of different related problems is the key to success.

While earning my undergraduate degree in Physics, I took advantage of a work-study opportunity at Franklin and Marshall and became a Physics and Chemistry Tutor for the introductory classes. In addition to tutoring science students at college, I also was the TA for a class that explored the role of racism in America's history titled "America in Black and White". Since earning my M.S. from Georgetown University, I have been an adjunct lecturer of Physics and Astronomy at Queensborough Community College and an adjunct lecturer of Chemistry at Dowling College. At Queensborough, I taught and administered Astronomy and Physics Laboratory sessions. At Dowling, I taught a class called "Physical Chemistry II: Quantum Chemistry". Apart from teaching academic subjects, I also am a percussion instructor at Jimmy Osborne Music, a music school in Eastern Long Island.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and working with children. I adapt my lessons and differentiate my instruction to meet the needs of each child. Everyone can learn but in various ways. I use a lot of visual aids and manipulatives to help students learn. With specific resources, patience, and enthusiasm your child can find success and have fun while learning.
I currently hold a bachelors degree in communications and a masters degree in Early Childhood/Childhood education. I have worked in various grades which helped give me a broad understanding of the subject matter taught. My experience has helped me adapt my teaching skills to meet the needs of individual students.
