A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught high school science for nine years at Penn Yan Academy including: The Living Environment, Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, and Access Science for Special Education students. I have permanent teaching certificates in Chemistry 7-12, and Biology - General Science 7-12.
I believe that students must be able to perform through practice problems to fully demonstrate understanding of information. Therefore, I will check to see what a student understands about a particular topic, give some instruction, and then test their knowledge with appropritae questions.

A Little Bit About Me...

While studying at SUNY ESF I held a position as a teaching assistant for Western Civilization. This involved grading exams and papers, preparing and giving lectures, and holding office hours to assist students with any questions or concerns they may have had. I also spent time volunteering to teach and after school science club through ESF Outreach for elementary / middle school aged children.
I feel as though every student will have their own niche. They will have a special subject that they enjoy the most and one that they despise. I think that figuring out how the child studies for the subject they enjoy will lead to an understanding of how to motivate that student to learn the subjects that are more difficult for them. Also, if the student's teacher stays positive and pushes him or her towards success by means of positive reinforcement they will succeed.

I spent five semesters tutoring students at the Study Center at Southampton College. In my professional life I have a great deal of experience in manufacturing, including positions as a Plant Chemist and a R&D Chemist.
I enjoy teaching, especially on a one-to-one basis. I firmly believe that the more interactive teaching is, the more effective it is, and therefore, there is greater retention.

More About This Tutor...

My high school Chemistry instructor had a profound impact on me. Although the subject was a difficult one, his passion for it was so infectious that, by the end of my junior year, I WANTED to be a chemist. I went on to attain Chemistry degrees from Long Island University (BS) and the University of Maine (MS with thesis). I subsequently enjoyed a 28-year career at Kodak in such diverse Chemistry-related fields as lithium batteries, pharmaceuticals, and diagnostic imaging. My teaching experience includes a Graduate Teaching Assistantship at the University of Maine, participation in the High School Educators Conference at the Rochester Museum and Science Center in the early nineties and tutoring my step-daughter in high school chemistry.
In my final semester as a TA at Maine, I was assigned instructing Chemistry lab to a class that was regarded by some as "difficult" and "slow". The s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

To serve students in a tutorial setting, I first determine a student's current level of understanding. As specific gaps in understanding are identified, targeted instruction is used to fill in those gaps. Many times work on fundamental concepts or mechanics is required to achieve true and lasting success in the content area. Students that are willing to complete the foundational work I will leave them with based on their identified weaknesses, will develop the fastest and improve their skills and confidence. I will invest time and energy into all my students, however I require that they also invest in themselves by remediating weaknesses we discover.
I have taught high school math for over twelve years. I tutor math and chemistry students. I hold degrees in engineering (BS Civil Engineering, MS Environmental Engineering) and education (MA Educational Administration). My engi ... read more

I am a recent graduate of the State University of New York School of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF). This institution offer rigorous studies in all its degree programs. Students are also expected to maintain a prismatic academic spectrum outside of their specialization. In 2005, I enrolled in SUNY-ESF's unique chemistry program. I took notable classes other colleges don't offer, such as Organic Chemistry III, and Spec ID. Classes were taught by PhD researches with years of experience in their fields of chemistry ranging from physical to polymer chemistry. I used technical scientific instruments such as GC/MS, and NMR. Experiencing SUNY-ESF left me with a specialized degree in Natural Products Chemistry, a concentration that focuses on biosynthetic pathways, advanced organic chemistry, synthesis, and technical reading and writing skills. I also studied biology, focusi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In my experience, most students learn best by practicing the material and get bored listening to long lectures. However, as I learned from students and from a college tutoring course, all students have different styles of learning and I tailor my teaching to their needs. I want all of my students to experience that moment when everything just "clicks" and they have the confidence to go on learning and reach their high potentials. I also strive to create a stress-free environment so that students are comfortable asking many questions.
At the University at Buffalo I worked as a tutor for university students in subjects ranging from English and Spanish to biology and calculus. My BS is in biomedical sciences but I am also a proficient writer and have taken many English courses. I received an award for Outstanding English Student in high school. In addition, I worked for the WHIZard Ac ... read more

I really enjoy helping people who are struggling with certain concepts or subject areas. Ever since high school I have liked to help friends and classmates in this way. I am very patient and understand the everyone learns in different ways, I like to try to find a different way of looking at things to help the tutee understand. I believe tutoring is a very rewarding profession, it is a great feeling when someone you have tutored gets to see their grades and confidence improve.

I really enjoy working with all people, I understand that everyone has a learning style, but above all you have to work hard to get to the next level. I am patient, thoughtful and willing to offer my support. I think it's important to summarize the important parts of the subject and then have the student remember them and focus on how to manipulate those parts into useful problem solving skills. I know I can make a great instructor for you.

More About This Tutor...

Throughout my education I've had a drive to teach. While earning my BS in chemistry with minor in biology I assisted many fellow students by acting as both a laboratory assistant and as a tutor in general chemistry and organic chemistry. My teaching experience continued into my post-graduate career where I acted as a Teaching Assistant primarily responsible for teaching 2 to 3 organic chemistry laboratory sections per semester. Because of my course of education as well as my continuous participation in teaching I've had ample experience helping prepare students for exams as well as writing research papers and laboratory reports.
During my undergraduate career I discovered my passion for teaching. I also discovered that being an educator in the sciences is particularly tricky because it deals with some of the most abstract information with seemingly little real world application. Mo ... read more

I encourage students to ask a lot of questions about the material they do not understand. The student has already heard the lecture from the teacher or professor, so I feel there is not much point to just repeating the lecture. If students ask questions, they will be more receptive to the information that is given in the answers. I also like to use examples or demonstrations to relate the material to "real life", as opposed to just teaching abstract concepts. Above all, I try to keep it interesting for the student.
I have a bachelor's degree in chemistry and biology from SUNY Oswego. I also have my Master's degree from SUNY Oswego. During this time I taught lab classes, as well as doing research. During this same time, I worked part-time as a lab instructor at LeMoyne College. Since then, I have been working on a PhD at Syracuse University. I have continued teaching labs at SU, as ... read more
