Materials Engineering Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ben Lomond, CA

I received a Bachelors of Science in Materials Engineering from San Jose State University and have had over 5 years of engineering experience. I have an educational background in physics, math, chemistry, engineering and biology. During my educational and professional experience I’ve had involvement in various facets of semiconductor, polymer and metallurgical processing as well as electronic/mechanical product design and fabrication. I enjoy teaching grades 7 thru college level. I am patient, communicate well and eager to make learning fun. I feel that most people love to learn they just have to find a reason to find it interesting and applicable to the world around them. I try to introduce concepts as they apply to real world circumstances.

Teaching 5-10 years of college level organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and intro chemistry. Also, I've served as a full time lab assistant. I've had extensive experience in both designing exams, lecturing, tutoring, and providing special assistance to students. As an attorney, I have always been driven to achieve high levels of excellence in my field. Over the last 20 years I have practiced as a patent attorney in the chemical and biotechnology legal areas. My training and experience uniquely combine both high level grammatical skills as well as skills in the sciences. Easy going, supportive, hard working, direct, open, and encouraging. My style is to find real world experiences to provide examples for learning. This approach stimulates students to actually enjoy chemistry instead of thinking of it as something difficult or unint

As a graduate from Santa Clara University, I earned a BS degree in Chemistry, emphasis in biochemistry, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. Along with three years of experience working as a Chemist in the industry, I was able to explore different areas of chemistry and became an expertise in organic chemistry and chemical engineering. I also have learned extensive writing skills to produce research papers and laboratory reports. In addition to my science background, I am also a very passionate volunteer teacher at a Sunday school for the past seven years, teaching catechism to the children at my church. I love teaching and working with all children. I understand the concept of multiple intelligence and that every child learn in different ways, this is what makes it interesting and challenging to work with children. I am very organized, and is

Over the past decade I have also prepared science curriculum materials (middle and high school) for Glencoe McGraw-Hill, Gale Thomson, Pearson and John Wiley. I am the author of The Globalization of Trade, an introduction to the economics of globalization for young readers (published in 2004). Most of my curriculum writing has been science-related, but I have also prepared articles in other areas for Gale Thomson's reference books. My academic training was in the physical sciences (physics, chemistry). I earned a PhD in materials science from the University of Virginia and subsequently completed a two-year postdoc at Stanford University in theoretical chemistry. My undergraduate training was in physics (UC Berkeley). In 1983 I completed an ESL teacher training course at Stanford University, and subsequently was hired to teach English in Japan. I made heavy use of the prevailing ideas
