A Little Bit About Me...

In 1983 I completed an ESL teacher training course at Stanford University, and subsequently was hired to teach English in Japan. I made heavy use of the prevailing ideas in ESL teaching at that time. More recently, in designing teaching materials for middle and high school students, I have attempted to map my lessons to the cognitive skills identified in Bloom's taxonomy.
Over the past decade I have also prepared science curriculum materials (middle and high school) for Glencoe McGraw-Hill, Gale Thomson, Pearson and John Wiley. I am the author of The Globalization of Trade, an introduction to the economics of globalization for young readers (published in 2004). Most of my curriculum writing has been science-related, but I have also prepared articles in other areas for Gale Thomson's reference books. My academic training was in the physical sciences (physics, chemistry). I ear ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate from Santa Clara University, I earned a BS degree in Chemistry, emphasis in biochemistry, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. Along with three years of experience working as a Chemist in the industry, I was able to explore different areas of chemistry and became an expertise in organic chemistry and chemical engineering. I also have learned extensive writing skills to produce research papers and laboratory reports. In addition to my science background, I am also a very passionate volunteer teacher at a Sunday school for the past seven years, teaching catechism to the children at my church.
I love teaching and working with all children. I understand the concept of multiple intelligence and that every child learn in different ways, this is what makes it interesting and challenging to work with children. I am very organized, a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I think I know how to make complicated things look simple. I always make sure students understand what I am saying, by regularly checking their knowledge and asking questions. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all students can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences.
As an MS and MBA graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned two Masters degrees, an MS in Print Media and Paper Manufacturing Engineering and an MBA, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math, science, Finance and Marketing. In addition, I have 10 years of experience in Product Marketing in the software computer hardware industry. In my previous positions, I led product launches and go to market plans, ... read more

Easy going, supportive, hard working, direct, open, and encouraging. My style is to find real world experiences to provide examples for learning. This approach stimulates students to actually enjoy chemistry instead of thinking of it as something difficult or uninteresting. I've also found that the carrot approach works much better than the stick. Everyone can make the grade or higher by being encouraged and helped.
Teaching 5-10 years of college level organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and intro chemistry. Also, I've served as a full time lab assistant. I've had extensive experience in both designing exams, lecturing, tutoring, and providing special assistance to students. As an attorney, I have always been driven to achieve high levels of excellence in my field. Over the last 20 years I have practiced as a patent attorney i ... read more
