I have taught for over 25 years in settings as varied as inner city schools in NYC to a small public school in Arlington Vermont, and an elite private school at Stratton Vermont. I have taught remedial, basic, bilingual and honors level classes in Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Science in class room settings. I have tutored various sciences and math, including Pre-algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 on basic and honors levels. I have also tutored students for SAT prep in English and Chemistry. My undergraduate degree as an English major has enabled me to excell at writing research papers during my medical science career, as well as help my students with research projects and papers. I base my teaching on the pholosophy of Eli Siegal: "Aesthetic Realism". It states that "All beauty is a making one of opposites, and a making one of opposites is what we are going after in our

I believe the best way for someone to learn something is through application and repetition. As both a tutor and youth lacrosse coach I have had success by teaching my students how to approach problems rather than simply giving them answers. I am extremely patient and am very willing to take alternative approaches in helping a student learn. During my undergraduate career at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, I obtained a wealth of knowledge in the fields of math and science. I did this by striving for excellence in the classroom and participating in cutting edge research with professors in the Entomology and Organic Chemistry departments. My extensive knowledge of the subjects I’ve studied has allowed me to assist my friends in understanding complex and difficult problems. This past year I privately tutored classmates in both Statistics and Organic Chemistry.

I have a passion for teaching but waited until I gained some "real world" experience. I found that this has helped me relate to my students since I am able to make meaningful connections to their learning. I like to discover what my students already know about the topic and to expose any misconceptions. Brainstorming activities work well for me. I like to help define the topic in common terms, not the classic dictionary method. I use presentation, discussion, videos and hands on activities. Most of what I do is inquiry based.

A have a Bachelor of Science degree in biology with minors in education and chemistry. My understanding of science has been strengthened by completing 30 graduate credits in biology related fields and 23 graduate credits in chemistry. I have over 20 years of teaching experience in chemistry, including honor and advanced placement chemistry. I enjoy helping students reach their full potential. I am respectful and considerate of each student. My teaching style consists of a combination of direct instruction and guided discovery. Each student learns at a different rate. I provide the appropriate methods of instruction for academic success.

My teaching methods are flexible, as different students require different strategies to be successful. While tutoring, I prefer working through example problems to demonstrate the meaning and application of various concepts. I am patient, and I try to be creative in my approach to explaining difficult material. I engage students as much as possible while helping them, and try to keep lessons interesting and to the point. I love to answer questions, and I think it's important to encourage questions about anything that may be unclear. I am understanding and reasonable, but I think hard work and practice are essential for succeeding in any subject. I hope to help students feel confident in their understanding of the material I cover. In May 2009, I graduated from Mount Holyoke College as a biochemistry major with Magna cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa distinction. At Mount Holyoke, I was a Gene

I subscribe to the principle: tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, tell them what you have told them. To avoid mind-numbing repetition, I present the material with a combination of text and pictures, then review the material with ungraded short answer exercises ("active learning – I do and I understand"). Then we summarize. I also connect what the student is learning with previous course content to promote learning by association. I use a variety of exercises to reinforce content, including case studies, diagram creation and annotation, group discussion (where a group is available). I have taught Anatomy and Physiology, Medical Terminology, Pharmacology, and MS Office applications; also, Microbiology and Immunology, along with General Biology and the Study of Disease. As part of a job training program, I have been an instructor in Biotechnology Skills, and a

I strongly believe that every student has the ability to learn and succeed if given the appropriated learning experience. Therefore, I strive as much as possible to demystify sciences subjects like mathematics, physics, and chemistry and make learning a fun. By so doing, student will love learning and succeed in their academic pursuit. I had my undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from University of Nigeria at GPA of 3.43/4 (transcripts translated by World Education Services WES, USA). I successfully secured the prestigious Japanese Government Scholarship for a postgraduate study in environmental engineering at Hokkaido University Japan where I successfully graduated at GPA of 3.94/4 (transcripts translated by WES USA). I also conducted an advance science research which have been published in a science journal and presented orally in several professional conferences in Japan.
