Experience Summary
I am a recent graduate of Rowan University, however have 3-4 years of tutoring experience. I started tutoring the spring of my sophomore year (organic and general chemistry) and continued tutoring through the university till half way through my junior year. Since then I have tutored directly for the chemistry department at Rowan University as a volunteer tutor. Even after my graduation I have continued to volunteer my services to the University. Over the past 4 years of tutoring, I have tutored in General Chemistry, Advanced Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Quantitative Analysis, Biochemistry, and Instrumental Methods. Though not as proficient, I have tutored algebra, calculus 1, and some engineering/material science classes as well.
Teaching Style
I tried to help the students to the best of my ability and in a way conducive to learning. At a major university, biology and engineering students, let alone chemist need to take general and organic chemistry. So it is required to tailor how I tutor to what they needed. In some case it was a guide through problems because they knew the basic information and could not correlate from one step to the next. Other cases would be where giving examples and working through problems in a non-math related way. It all depends on the students how I taught, but I did so in a way that would help them remember what they earned to use it throughout their class and the rest of their college career.
