Organic Chemistry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Cossayuna, NY

After attending the University at Albany for four years I have accumulated a wealth of experience in Chemistry and Physics which has culminated in multiple accolades and two degrees. Previously, while a member of the national honor society in high school I tutored many elementary and high school students in subjects such as math, science, and history. In my experience, most students under perform in science and math due to the an inability to relate theses subjects to practical real life examples. Connecting chemistry and physics principles with analogous real life examples is the key for students to become both interested and proficient in these subjects. When a student gains an appreciation for a subject, it will certainly be reflected in by their grades.

Inorganic Chemistry was my favorite class of my academic career. I had fantastic teachers and decided when I had the opportunity to give back to academia, I would teach inorganic chemistry. After I finished my Ph.D I became an adjunct professor at a local community college. I have been teaching chemistry for five years. The most important aspect of my teaching style is my ability to relax my students. I believe if you are in a relaxed environment, learning becomes easy. Chemistry is a difficult subject for many students and I am successful in giving my students the confidence that they can indeed understand the subject matter.

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

While obtaining my biology degree from LeMoyne college I worked with underpriviledged children in an afterschool program. This program was aimed at keeping these children off the street while their parents were at work along with helping them improve their grades. My duties included helping them with their homework and tutoring them in problem subjects as expressed by their teachers. This was a volunteer job that I found very rewarding. While my experience is with elementary aged children I would love tutor subjects more specific to my degree as well. I find working with children and students to be a very rewarding area of work. I love to learn and therefore love to help others learn. I am a strong believer in that with the right encouragement and hard work all children are able to learn. I believe it is important to make education interesting for children and provide "real wor

I would like to teach a student up to their maximum knowledge level in that specific subject. I usually provide some of my own notes to study while I assist the student until they have learned the concept completely. Below is some feedback my students wrote for me while I was teaching Human Anatomy with disease and Genetics. 1. Once the class got into a rhythm, it was good. Good real life examples 2. Intelligent, admirable, kind person 3. Amazing teacher, best one I had this year 4. Extremely knowledgable 5. I think he truly tries to help his students and is very knowledgable and so on and on... I completed my Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Biochemistry and received my Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree in 2005.

I teach others by learning and adapting myself. I love finding new and creative ways to explain familiar concepts. For my degree I had to take a year of chemistry, which I immediately fell in love with, even though I had hated it in high school. I found myself tutoring the other students in my class for fun and even took two organic chemistry classes as electives just because I thought it was so interesting. I consider my late discovery that I love earth science and chemistry to be proof that a seemingly difficult or impossible subject can be made easy and fun with the right point of view and attitude. I hated science and math when I was in junior high and high school. When I asked my teachers questions, they didn't give me the answers I was looking for. Luckily, I got into a great university and found out, after taking a few core classes, that I actually love science. Once I really un

I have always enjoyed working with young people. I take the time needed to assess each student's learning styles and I am well versed in what works for students of each type (visual, oral, kinesthetic and their subcategories). I am patient and use the student's strengths to help them overcome their weaknesses. I believe that a student can learn what ever is required of them if the teacher takes the time to work with the student. It is important to me that my students and I become a team in their learning and that the student is comfortable asking questions and sharing their difficulties so that I can understand the student's needs. If more educators were given the time to do the needed assessments, our students would be more successful. I have taught science in grades 7 -12 in a 5 different public schools over a course of 15 years. I taught high school level Earth science for 2 year

I received my PhD degree in 1983, and then worked for about two years at Harvard University with E.J. Corey, winner of the 1990 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Afterwards, I worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 13 years, and then started a small company doing outsourced research. After selling that company, I became a Visiting Professor teaching organic chemistry at Union College (a two-year position). I enjoyed teaching and students generally enjoyed me also. Even though I was a demanding professor, my student evaluations were extremely good and many students shared how much they had learned. Several students came back after taking standardized tests and said how well they had done on the chemistry part. After two years at Union, I turned down their offer of a tenure-track position and returned to industry. I am currently starting a consulting business. My initial concern at Unio

My teaching style involves the introduction and application of the concepts to people in such way that they can apply, not by memorization. The presentation of additional problem sets, examples related to the school level they are working are fundamental to transmit efficiently the concepts. At the end of each training or class, I normally summarize and double-check with the trainee or students that the entire concepts taught were clear and all expectations are met. I am a Ph. D. Organic Chemist with experience in synthesis of organic compounds from laboratory to commercial plant. During my entire career, a considerable part of my work included training of personnel at all education levels (from HS to Ph. D. level) and involved the presentation of scientific work to the academic and business community at all levels. This kind of training is related with organic chemistry, safety and qual

I enjoy working with children and sharing the joy of learning with them. Children are by nature are very inquisitive. I strive to bring out the best in them by making learning a fun experience. I believe all children have the potential to succeed and I find great satisfaction in helping them reach that goal. I graduated with a major in Chemistry and minor in Biology. I have volunteered at homework centers at a couple libraries in Minnesota. Also I volunteered at a Multicultural School to help new immigrant children learn english and assist them in preparing for the GED exam. One summer I worked at a science camp to organize and coordinate fun and interesting science workshops for young children.

My journey through the undergraduate sciences has given me the skills needed to be an effective tutor. Holding a 3.6 GPA, I was able to work with students in group settings, teaching as well as learning. As a member of the chemistry society, we also offered peer tutoring where I was an active participant. My bachelors degree consists of a minor in chemistry while majoring in exercise science. In addition, I have completed additional science coursework in preparation for my fall 2009 MCAT testing. I am currently on waitlists for several medical colleges and wish to further my knowledge of the sciences by interpreting it to others. I would best describe my method of teaching as a give and take experience. Through diologue, I am able to lead the student through the thought process that will derive the correct answer.
