Organic Chemistry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Wakefield, VA

I have a relaxed, stress-free teaching style, while staying on task and topic. I make sure the pupils really understand the material by breaking things down to the basics, and reviewing the foundations. After reviewing and application of the concepts, I have my students switch roles and "teach" me the material. I believe if you can explain the material to someone else, you really understand it. I double-majored in biology in chemistry in undergrad, so the field of science and medicine is my first love and my strength. I have also received a Masters of Public Health Degree in Epidemiology, and have since completed my 2nd year of medical school. I have always had a strong affinity for math and english as well. I have a published thesis paper that was constructed and presented as required for my masters curriculum. I have been tutoring since I was in high school, and have tutored elementary

I have recently graduated from Virginia Tech where I majored in Biological Sciences. This included biology, physics, and chemistry as focus points. My tutoring experience has been volunteer work. Throughout my academic career I have always helped others, from explaining difficult concepts to peer reviewing papers in college. I have also been a substitute teacher at my local high school since 2007. I recently worked under a doctoral candidate on a research project about warblers. One duty was to train volunteers in all aspects of capturing and processing the birds. As you can see my tutoring experience comes from real life experiences which is shown in my tutoring style. I truly believe in learning by doing. Being shown the answer never helps anyone. You must go through the process of doing to be confident in your abilities. I try to make the student feel as comfortable as possi

I love working with all age groups. I understand that everyone has a different style inwhich they learn things. What I try to do is learn everyones learning style and teach in according to what will make the most logical sense to help them learn new subjects. Teaching others is very interesting to me. As a Citadel graduate I was taught how to be a great leader. I have great organizational skills, analytical skills, and I know how to work with diverse groups. I understand the importance of helping others in the best way possible to help them achieve their personal goals.

I love working one on one with students. I enjoy relating science to real day events and showing students how to think out of the box. I teach using neumonics, songs and repetition. I believe that science is one of the most important subjects because it teaches you how the world around you works. Most people believe that teachers chose the wrong profession and I think that society chose the wrong heros. I graduated from Hampton University with a BS in Molecular Biology and my love for science pushed me to pursue a MS in Medical Science. I have tutored at Hampton University in the areas of Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physical Science, and General Biology. I have also taught at Thomas Nelson Community College in The Biological Sciences. I have been teaching sixth grade science for the last two years. My students have the highest scores in the school.

I am a graduate of Central Michigan University with a Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Science with a minor in Psychology. I have also volunteered throughout my college and high school career tutoring students in elementary and middle school. Teaching requires one to understand how the student learns. by working one on one with the student at finding the key qualities to their education. By being positive and setting achievable goals I am able to help students achieve their highest potential.

I love helping others. It is a good way to share the knowledge I have obtained. I am patient and very easy to get along with. I do not judge others and am willing to help no matter how long it will take to allow someone to get the understanding that they need becuase everyone learns at the same pace. Also, I am very adaptive and can show others how to workout problems in a variety of ways. I am in my senior year of college and will be graduating in May 2011. I have taken an variety of chemistry and biology courses. Chemistry course I have taken include general chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry. Biology course include general biology, microbiology, and genetics. In addition, I have conducted research and helped other students with chemistry.

I have a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry from the College of William and Mary and will be returning to finish my Masters Degree at Georgetown University in January of 2011. I graduated with a 3.2 GPA from William and Mary and currently have a 3.7 GPA at Georgetown. During my time at William and Mary I worked as a tutor for Calculus, Biology and Chemistry. I enjoyed working with my fellow students to help them achieve. I have extensive experience tutoring and love helping others. The most important skill I can teach someone is how. I believe in not only helping students to understand the material but instilling in them a joy of learning. I want students to understand how to get to the answers, why the answers are correct and how to do it themselves. This skill boosts self esteem and confidence. I also believe that it is very important to teach study skills and techniques that can

For the bulk of my academic and professional career I have mentored or supervised colleagues or post-doctoral fellows in the natural sciences. While I have obtained academic training in Chemistry and Biology (BS), Biochemistry (MS and Ph.D) and neuroscience (post-doctoral research) I have studied and utilized many additional areas of science including, immunology, molecular biology, organic chemistry, toxicology, epidemiology. In addition, I have developed extensive knowledge of electronics, computer programming and robotics. During the last four years, I have functioned as the computer mentor for the LC Bird High School Robotics team. My list of scientific publications speaks to my abilities to communicate in written format. My most recent rewarding interaction with kids has been been the result of functioning as a mentor for the LC Bird High School robotics team. I've have been ab

My teaching style consists of incorporating all learning styles of most people in order to achieve the highest level of comprehension in course subjects. I believe that most students gain the best understanding when they are required to use their auditory skills, while visualizing the information, and writing the information for the practice of kinesthetic learning. It is imperative that the learning environment is entertaining yet informative so that the students view the learning process as fun. Any additional learning techniques or styles may be applied to accommodate all children in need. I have worked for Norfolk City Public Schools and Virginia Beach City Public Schools as a substitute teacher for approximately six years. During that period I performed a multitude of jobs including long term substitute positions, teaching high school physics, and performed tasks far beyond the para

A good teacher encourages students to think and analyze and not to accept the information passively. With this objective in mind, I combine class room teaching with interactive sessions.The learning styles and capabilities of the students vary. So I incorporate different methods of teaching.It is important that the students understand the concepts and principles thoroughly.I want the students to solve some of the problems while they are with me to make sure that they have grasped the principles.I prefer to create an environment that motivates the students. I have a special skill in dealing with students who have attention deficiency.I am patient and considerate and I will be happy to offer extra attention and coaching to slow learners.

I believe that it is important to determine how exactly a person learns. Some people are audio learners and need to talk it out. Others learn better by repetition and doing different examples. I have learned from tutoring math, many people use a combination of learning techniques and it is important for a tutor to be patient with the student and to use positive reinforcement. As a graduate of the University of Virginia and Kaplan University, I know the meaning of hard work and dedication. I received my BA in Sociology with a minor in Religion from the University of Virginia in 2004. I went on to receive my MBA in Finance from Kaplan University in 2009. I have always had a love for math as my older sister is a math professor. Everything that she learned, she taught to me. I have been helping my peers with math ever since I have been in school and I love helping people understand what come
