Organic Chemistry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Apple Creek, OH

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences degree in Medicinal and Biological Chemistry from the University of Toledo. My major required me to take over 20 hours of chemistry electives, half of which were organic chemistry courses. I am well-versed in reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry and isomers, properties of the various functional groups, and molecular nomenclature. My tutoring style is very interactive and involves the use of self-made PowerPoint presentations that break-down difficult concepts into easy-to-understand principles, as well as practice problems to improve your understanding of the subject. I have more than four years of tutoring experience, and my students have seen great results by using these methods. As an experienced tutor, I understand that students have different learning styles, and I adapt my teaching in a way that best enhances your learning. I

In January of 2008, I was hired to work at the University of Akron – Wayne College Learning Center as a peer tutor. We are responsible for helping students that come in seeking tutoring (including test preparation and homework help). Over the past two plus years, I have tutored students in mathematics (college level basic math 1 through calculus one) and chemistry. Over the past three and a half years, I have been working towards a degree in Chemical Engineering so I have familiarity with math through multivariable calculus (called Calculus three on our campus) as well as differential equations and chemistry: inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, and organic chemistry. My teaching style is simply and varies from student to student. I am a visual learner, once I see an example done; I try to use what I’ve learned to solve a similar problem. Some people don't learn that way, I try to pick up

I am certified to teach secondary mathematics and social studies by the state of OHIO. I also enjoy teaching college students and tutoring on a weekly basis. I teach for the students to learn and to enjoy the learning process. I am satisfied when I see the students are able to grasp the concepts on their own and see how the application works. I have worked with a variety of children from kindergarten to high school and college levels. I am an educator who does make a difference in my students lives and I love teaching. As an Ivy league graduate, I was driven to acheive a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree in education and masters degree in education with a major in mathematics. I have also worked in the business field and am able to teach students today how to apply mathematics in the real world. Recently I have been teaching as a substitute teacher in

As a former high school chemistry teacher, I am aware of the skills and content students need to grasp to be successful in their high school careers. I have had extensive tutor training as an undergraduate, earning a level III tutor training certificate, so I am also aware of the different roles that teachers and tutors play in the learning process. As an undergraduate I tutored chemistry and was a learning assistant for some of the chemistry courses taught. I have earned my BS degree in Chemistry and Biology and a Masters in Education. I am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Chemical Education, so I am familiar with the newest and best teaching methods available to the science discipline. I love teaching students and helping them understand and enjoy science. I believe that all students can learn science; some just have great fears that need to be overcome. To overcome these fears

As a student myself I know exactly what I want and expect out of a teacher. Learning is exciting for me, and it is important to me that I convey the 'fun' aspects of learning to my students. I am believe in conforming the way I teach to match the student's learning abilities. It is my job to make sure the student walks away fully understanding the information as opposed to acting like they understand it. As a young student I was very motivated to attend medical school at a young age. I received a bachelor degree, BS, in biology with minors in both psychology and chemistry. After graduating with my undergraduate degree early, I unexpectedly found a passion for teaching. Currently, I am working towards my masters degree, MS, in biology. Along with this I have been teaching introductory science labs for the university. I also, enjoy tutoring, one-on-one, students ranging from 2nd gra

My main goal is to try and make the subject as much fun and easy to understand as possible. I never give away answers and instead try to lead the student toward the answer, giving them the chance to figure it out as we go along. I try to break more complex ideas down into concepts that are easier to understand. I often tell students that Chemistry is not as scary as some people say, it just needs to be explained properly. I have loved Chemistry ever since I was in high school. I continued on to pursue my BS in Chemistry and learned a lot, not only in that field, but also in many areas of math as well. I have continued on in my education and am currently in the final year of my PhD, studying Polymer Science. During the last 3-4 yrs, I have tutored students mainly in Chemistry, both at the high school and college level.

I have a MS and BS in Chemical Engineering and I am currently working towards a MS in Technology Management. While working on my masters degree, I was a student teacher for undergraduate classes. I have recently tutored economics, chemistry, and management. I have had advanced course work in general chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, physics, calculus, differential equations, statistics, linear algebra, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics as well as computer programming. As your tutor: I will clarify information presented in your class or in your textbook. I will engage you in discussion of how to work particular homework problems. I will share study skills that helped me achieve excellence in my area of study.

I graduated from the University of Akron with a degree in chemistry and alongside I had taken many biology classes as a prerequisite for pharmacy school.At UA I skip a couple of math and physics classes and got placed in Calculus II and Physics II. I attended pharmacy school for couples of years, where I took some advance biology classes and was very involve in group assignments and group study. I have actively been involve in tutoring students at lower grade levels to me for a total of three years. I carried out research and did presentation of my research findings During this time I tutored my classmates and other students in math, chemistry physics and biology. I think teachers make a great difference in the life of students. I remember most of my grade school teachers and because of them I decided to pursue a career in the field of math and sciences. I love giving back to my communi

When a question is asked, I am not going to simply just tell the student the answer. I would want them to think it out and try and figure it out for themselves. I would however guide them in the right direction and even ask them other questions they may know in order for them to figure out the intial problem. I feel that these types of interactions are a more effective way of learning. Also, writing things down helps tremedously because not only are you thinking it, but you're seeing it and reading it as well. I am a very easy person to get along with, and I am also very encouraging. I enjoy helping others whether it's in an academic environment or not. Being in college for four years exposed me to social environments that I normally wouldn't have been able to encounter on a day to day basis. Whether I was learning on my own, working with or helping fellow classmates, or even just

I started my teaching career in 1983 at Indiana Girls’ School in Indianapolis, Indiana. After teaching for six years I successfully transitioned into the business world for the next 20+ years. Two years ago I made a decision to return to my roots and completed the additional course work and appropriate testing required by the state of Ohio to renew my teaching license in Biology/Life Sciences. You won’t find anyone willing to work harder or with more life experiences dedicated to teaching in the state. As a former teacher and business leader, I have come to believe in two fundamental ideologies that allow me to focus on what is important in setting up a proper environment for learning. The first is that science must be a major part of education today so that students will be able to function in the world of tomorrow. The second belief is that within every child is a spark waiting to

I graduated with a degree in Physical Science Education, which gives me a strong background in Physical Sciences and in math. I have worked with children and youth of all age levels and nearly every ability. I ran an afterschool program for the Salvation Army, ran a boys home for troubled boys and worked in St. Paul City schools as a substitute teacher and a night teacher at an evening school. I also have worked six summers at a Salvation Army camp. Through these experiences I have worked with both gifted and special needs children and youth. I believe that all children have the capability to learn if someone is willing to be patient and work with them. I enjoy having fun with youth while learning and teaching those I work with the value of what they are learning. I work well with all age groups and am willing to put in the time necessary to ensure students can reach their full potential

I have recently graduated from Kent State University with my BS in Biology and am returning in the fall to receive my Chemistry minor. I have taken all of the related Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Physics courses that would allow me to have a general understanding of all of these subjects. For the last two years I have group-tutored and private-tutored students in General Biology, General Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry. My teaching style is upbeat and engaging. I believe that just telling a student the material and expecting them to know it later is a misconception. How I was trained to tutor students was to have them explain the material to me, instead of giving blatant answers, or if we don't know we could review the textbook, the notes, or look it up in another resource. Not only does this give the student the correct and complete answer, it allows them to retain study skills which

I enjoy tutoring children and adults because it makes me feel like I'm able to give a piece of what I know to someone that has trouble understanding that particular concept. I particularly enjoy working with children because they are sponges for knowledge. They understand concepts as long as one has the patience and does the hard work to help them understand. This is where I come in. I work with my student until they understand what they need to know. I teach them ways to study, learn, and understand the material in a way which they will never forget. Teaching takes time along with learning. So with time and effort, my students are successful. During my high school years, I was able to work with a young child through his first three years of elementary school. I tutored the child through basic math, science, reading, and various school projects. I obtained invaluable teaching experience

I believe that comparing complex concepts to everyday, personal objects and situations is the most effective way to learn. Therefore, I am big on metaphors. Algebraic concepts and formulas can often be, I have found, analogous to much simpler ideas or images. Once the abstract is related to the mundane, we can break down the barrier to understanding that can be an automatic or habitual construction for many people. I am also an advocate of learning by example; I will walk through a problem or two, step by step, until the process becomes obvious. From there, equations can become identifiable patterns that essentially require you to simply "fill in the blanks". I earned a 98% in my College Algebra course this past fall so I am here to lend a hand to those who could use it. My focus in college was Communication with a minor in Philosophy. I also studied international relations for 6 months
