I received a 34 on the MCAT, 12 verbal, 11 physical, and 11 biological. I received my degree from St. John's College in Santa Fe and my med school hard science prerequisites from UNM with a 3.8 GPA. I can help you with chemistry, organic chemistry, basic physics, anatomy and physiology, basic biology, critical reading, test taking, and study strategies. Contact me at ting.says(at)gmail.com with subject line "tutoring" to discuss what subjects or tests you'd like to be tutored on. I prefer my students to take a free assessment, like a practice MCAT, then send me the results so that I can gauge where you are and what you need to work on. From there we'll work on test taking strategies, study strategies, and whatever specific knowledge gaps you have.

On-the-job math is almost always done using Microsoft Excel, so I can show you how to do almost anything on a spreadsheet. Ive been a TV broadcast engineer, and taught video production in a public high school. Ive been an avionics technician, a solar PV installer & designer, and a thermal analyst for solar buildings. In most jobs Ive ever held, I ended up being the one who trains new people...just because I love to help people learn things. I have two technical-college degrees, I worked my way through both of them being a math tutor, and have used math and science in some way in every job I've ever held. As for my "teaching style", as everyone knows, it helps enormously just to have another person to work with, ask questions of, and generally talk things through. And since Im not a professional teacher, Im mostly a working tech--maybe I can help you see the connections between the abstr

I believe that each student should be respected as an individual that is capable of intellectual endeavors. I utilize humor and have a relaxed attitude but I also expect hard work. I adapt delivery style to suit the learning needs of the student. I am an experienced classroom teacher and have been involved in education since I was 18 years old. I have worked supervising general chemistry teaching labs as well as an organic chemistry TA. I followed this experience by gaining my general education certification through the STEM program at UNM. This involved a year of teaching as an intern at a local middle school. Following this I have spent the last two years teaching Integrated Science, Chemistry and Physics all at the high school level. I have also been occupying myself with obtaining Master's Degrees in Special and General Education.

I have many years of experience in teaching Chemistry from Middle School to PhD level students. My innovative teaching techniques along with excellent knowledge in the subject has been my strength. I have been teaching and tutoring Middle School, High School, AP, and College Level Chemistry for many years. I am proficient in teaching General Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Analytical Chemistry. I do not have pre-prepared lessons as I teach every student in a different way that they can easily understand. I provide many problem sets and discuss them with students till the student feel confident about the topic.I am very friendly and has lot of patience.

During undergraduate school I was a tutor of organic chemistry, bacteriology, molecular biology and immunology courses. I was a member of the biological honors society at the University of Texas at Austin. I found that teaching the material to others helped me to learn it more effectively. In graduate school, I was very active in many study groups and helped other students to learn course material.

I am currently a senior studying Biology and Chemistry at the University of New Mexico. While attending the University I have informally tutored dozens of people. I love to study the sciences by talking and interacting with others. My focus in my education has been microbiology, specifically genetics, however I have learning experience in all fields of biology as well as physics and upper level mathematics. I prefer to deal with middle school to high school students in my work due to my experience running camps and youth groups for these age groups. Fun, visual and very interactive!

I have a year of experience working as a Peer Facilitator at New Mexico State University where I was responsible for grading papers, tutoring, facilitating biology workshops, and hosting exam review sessions for lower level undergraduate biology courses. I am a great tutor because I use my experiences as a student to relate to the students that I am tutoring and encourage them to learn from my mistakes. I try to create a light, relaxed learning environment and encourage students to practice and participate as much as a possible. I also strive to help students build confidence in the subject as well as confidence in their own personal abilities. Relaxed but hands-on. I ask students to do a lot of practice to familiarize themselves with the subject/topic at hand while providing lots of support.

My favorite high school teacher was my chemistry teacher and she is still my best friend. Chemistry comes easily to me, but I don't get impatient or irritated if it doesn't come that way to others. From the basic building blocks of matter to the Lewis dot structures to fun ways to memorize the elements in the periodic table, I can make chemistry palatable. Teaching middle school and high school science from 1983 to 2004, including every science subject listed in the TutorSelect list. I have worked as an educational consultant for national science laboratories, helping them train their scientists to work better in the school classrooms where they volunteer. I have worked for museums and for outdoor education programs, but have found the most satisfaction as a classroom teacher with all kinds of students. I have worked teaching teachers, but they were very difficult students. Multiple ways

I am convinced, partly because of my own experiences, that the current educational system best serves the needs of the average student. I also believe that it seldom addresses the needs of those students whose learning style is not a good fit with the one size fits all educational system. This may be for a wide variety of reasons, but the result is that the student is left without the needed skill set to compete and what’s worse, left with the message that they are responsible for "not getting it" and are inferior or stupid in some respect. I nearly flunked junior high pre-algebra, and was a mediocre math student in high school. I eventually managed to teach myself, and have subsequently scored 800 on the math section of the GRE and was one of about 50/15000 to score a perfect 15 on the quantitative section of the medical college admission test (MCAT). What is wrong with this picture? My

I have learned to acknowledge and understand the multitude of learning styles and abilities among youth from different backgrounds, belief systems, and economical positions, and I am familiar with individual personality and psychological variations that effect attention, learning, and social or personal interactions. My philosophy for educational instruction and tutoring involves supplemental interaction, minimal direction, and extensive support to help individuals gain self-confidence in their available skills set, intelligence, and problem solving tendencies by presenting helpful strategies and adhering to each student's abilities. I attended the University of New Mexico and earned a double BA in Psychology and English where I produced a pamphlet for students with traumatic brain injury for the UNM Accessibility Resource Center, was fourth author of a poster on Mindfulness Intervention

I love to teach and work with children. I believe all children can learn. There is no best learning way for all the students. Your kids are special. I believe I can help your child find best way to get academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to teach both the knowledge and the method to learn. I want every student find the way he/she wants to go. I used to be an associated professor in China. In those three years, I taught general chemistry class. I come here two years ago, and become an graduate student in Chemistry department of UNM. I have been TA of Chemistry for two years and have lots of experience.

One of the most rewarding aspects about guiding students is finding the way they channel their thoughts and using it to their advantage. As a result of being ADHD, I am sympathetic to the struggles many students have to concentrate and as a result I am a tenacious but patient teacher, always determined to make the lesson fun and interesting as well as educational. I choose to live by example, just as my favorite teachers and professors did with me. I give children respect, boost their confidence and make them love what they are doing. Even though I have found my approach to be successful, I am always looking for new ways to engage the mind of my student. As a tutor, I provide goals for the children. I find that once the students have goals, they are much more excited about reaching them, and do reach them with my help. Learning is fun and exciting, just as it should be! Thanks to a f

I have tutored most of the Math and Science courses at Glendale Community College for four years, tutored troubled teens at the YWCA during the same time period, taught Algebra at Gerard Catholic High School for one year, and tutored around the valley for several additional years. My motivation is to be the best at what I do and to teach students self discipline, good study habits, and to impart difficult subjects with clarity using everyday examples and creativity. Throughout my educational experiences I have sought true understanding rather than simply a grade with a stamp of acceptance. I've also worked as a Materials Analysis Engineer, Semiconductor Failure Analysis Engineer, and Metrology Engineer. I can teach most math, electronics, and science courses at the high school and college levels. I love teaching students and to explore subjects with honesty, creativity, an
