I have a masters in chemistry with a specialization in organic chemistry. I taught college level organic chemistry for two years, and currently work as an organic chemist in academia. I find that the best way to tutor is to use a combination of different methods. For example, I think that pictures/ball and stick structures, reading materials, and having a discussion about the question at hand are all useful and important ways to completely understand Chemistry. I am an extremely patient person, and I believe it is imperative to understand one topic before moving to the next. I like to prepare extra handouts and materials for my students, because I find that presenting material in as many ways as possible is the best way fully grasp the concept. I completed a Masters in Chemistry in 2009, and since then I have worked as an organic chemist in an academic setting. During graduate schoo

I believe that education is essential. Still, I recognize that my education has never been the consequence of my own determination alone. My family, professors, and friends have played an essential role in my education, having an incredible impact on what I learn and how I learn it. My teachers have always been incredibly effective because they are enthusiastic and willing to take the extra steps to ensure that I too love the material or at least have respect for it, creating within me a desire to learn and know more. My teaching style is a reflection of this. I am very passionate about the subjects I teach. Though many times I find the students are not as passionate as myself, after concerted efforts, the students at least become enthralled by the level of enthusiasm I show, and begin to ask questions and participate in their own learning.

I prefer to approach every student very slowly in the beginning to understand exactly where their trouble are. Listening is the most important attribute that a tutor can have followed by patience. It's my job to identify where the student's problem are and address those problems. My experience has tought me that most people just need a new perspective to understand certain materials at hand. Providing applications for someone learning new concepts is key for their development because the student understands how the concepts they're learning applies in the real world. I have been told by many of my former students that this is the reason they learn the concepts so well. I finished my lower division coursework at a california community college (AHC) and earned a total of six associate degrees. While at the community college, I administered practice test for students in MESA in mathematics

My style of teaching is professional and fun. I usually make friends with students so that they don’t feel stressed and bored. Too much pressure doesn’t help learning. I think students can learn better in a relaxing environment. In addition, when I am teaching, I usually make examples from daily life so that students can associate the subject to their surroundings, which helps them understand better. I started tutoring when I was a college student. Upon my entrance to the SDSU Department of Chemistry, I was granted an opportunity to teach as a TA in Chemistry. I had been teaching for 4 years before I received my master's degree in December of 2007. In these 4 years, I always had good evaluations from students. As a result of my hard work, the SDSU Residential Education Office decided to hire me as a contracted tutor in the dormitory area in 2007. In addition to teaching and tutoring at s

As a student, I loved school so much so that I went on to get a graduate degree in science. Science and writing have been huge parts of my professional career (non-tutoring) and I have worked with government research entities, an environmental consulting company and now with a non-profit that focuses on public education and outreach. My specialties are two-fold: 1) I have an extensive science background and the ability to share this in an effective way with kids; biology was my favorite course in college and I love to revisit it; 2) I have personal and professional experience working with kids of all ages that are having difficulty getting what they need out of the classroom. My approach to tutoring is that all students want to learn, even if they act otherwise. It is my job to make the subject more relevant, interesting and understandable for them.

I love Mathematics and I often wear my heart on sleeve; when it comes to Math, I try to infect the student with that bug. I believe that most students have issues with their immediate teaching and, as a result, feel that math has no meaning to them, hence I teach Mathematics in a contextual manner, showing deep meaning for the drills imposed in the classroom curriculums most experience daily. I stress heuristic analysis techniques that have shown great results I have tutored HS 9-12 and undrgraduate students individually in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and for SAT/ACT testing since the late 1990's. I received teaching credentials for teaching 9-12 Mathematics in California in 2005. I have worked as a Math/Sciences substitute in the Grossmont Union High School District since that time.

I have been engaged in teaching for over a decade. I taught organic chemistry tutoring sessions while an undergraduate, and then continued teaching and tutoring while earning my Ph.D. in chemistry. In addition to my experience as a teaching assistant, I was given the opportunity to prepare and deliver lectures to over 400 organic chemistry students at the University of Michigan. As a researcher for a pharmaceutical company, I have continued to teach chemistry and biology to the associates I mentor as well as summer interns and chemistry graduate students. Experience has taught me that students learn best when they are engaged in the material. A good instructor will be able to take concepts that appear to be mundane or seemingly irrelevant and put them in a context where the students can relate to the material. Once engaged, then the students need to actively participate in the probl

I have enjoyed teaching ever since I was given the opportunity to teach a lab as an undergraduate student at San Diego State University. My enthusiasm for teaching continued into my graduate studies. I was a graduate TA instructor at the University of California at San Diego. I completed the university’s required course on student teaching and taught undergraduates general chemistry and all levels of undergraduate organic chemistry. These sections involved a traditional classroom and averaged about 15 students in size. I was able to refine my preparation, lecture style, board work, and pace during these sessions.

During high school I attended a special program, Health and Medical Occupations Academy, developed for students who wanted a career in the medial field. My high school classes were oriented towards the medical profession. In addition I was required to take anatomy/ physiology, biology, and several nursing classes. I am currently a 2 year medical student. Before entering medical school I worked voluntarily for an orphanage in Mexico. During my time at the orphanage (about 4 years) I participated in tutoring the children, of all ages, with school work and English. I have worked with small children to adults, teaching English and school subjects. I work best with pre-teens- adults, however have no problem teaching small children. Tutoring is important for me because many times during my educational career I have needed tutoring myself, in regards to language barriers.

I am an enthusiastic and driven college graduate of two time consuming majors, BS in Chemistry and a BFA in Dance. Along with two majors, I also participated in many extracurricular activities such as working, teaching children, dancing in multiple performances, baby sitting, etc. Due to my different majors, I have broadened my experience and am able to teach/tutor in both the sciences and the arts as well as math. I have over seven years experience with children whether its baby sitting, teaching or being a junior camp counselor. I desire to gain more experience in tutoring as well as working with children again, hitting two birds with one stone. Teaching and working with children has been a passion for me since middle school when I was still a child myself. My advantage of working with children this young is that I understand them better then and now as an adult so I can find an ef

I work with individuals or groups depending on learning styles. I help students understand the material by using their own strengths. I believe that with the proper guidance and patience, the student will learn. I provide the assistance needed to acquire study skills and memory techniques. I love tutoring for I feel like I am making a difference in the lives of my students, and helping them exceed in life. When they excel in their classes, I feel as if I have made a difference. I have tutored 100 level Biology (lower level) at my University for a year and have independently edited papers and tutored general chemistry. I have a BS in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. With all of the biology classes I have taken, I am comfortable tutoring subjects such as Anatomy and Physiology, General Biology, and Physics.

I graduated from the University of California, San Diego in 2003 with a BS in Chemistry. I then went on to complete a MS in Chemistry at San Diego State University. During my time at SDSU, I worked as a Teaching Assistant for general chemistry and organic chemistry courses. I prepared lectures, monitored chemistry labs, proctored and graded exams, and helped individual students during office hours. I am also an experienced scientific writer and I have authored papers published in scientific journals. I currently work at an academic institute as an organic chemist. I believe that people learn in many different ways, and the key to effective teaching is using a combination of visual and auditory cues. I am a patient person, and I'm extremely passionate about chemistry and would love to help others discover their potential in this field. Because math and science go hand in hand, I unde

I am a recent graduate from UCSD that majored in Human Biology and Psychology. I have 5 cumulative years of tutoring in a variety of subjects. I consider math my forte (from Algebra to Precalculus and Calculus), but I am more than proficient in other areas of science including biology, chemistry and physics. I have been tutoring since high school and but my earliest tutoring experiences began at home where I tutored my 4 siblings. I am easy going and will try my best to meet at your convenience and accommodate any needs. I am eager to help students achieve their maximum potential in math and science. It brings me much joy to see the look on a students face as they grasp a concept that they once looked upon with much adversity. I prepare for tutoring sessions by asking any prospective students to please send me their study material prior to our sessions (at least a day please!). This h
