Bio Chemistry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Dripping Springs, TX

I try to help students overcome their mental block about chemistry. Before a session begins, I like to determine a student's level of competency in the subject. Short quiz or maybe I'll ask you a few questions on the basics and then go from there.I help students learn concepts and don't really stress on memorization at first (but in organic chem memorization is important). Learning concepts helps one memorize equations and reactions better! Then, I show students how to "APPLY" those concepts to solve problems on their tests. With practice, this training helps them to get over their fear; focus on questions and solve problems like you would solve puzzles!! Tutored friends and classmates for general chem, genetics, biochemistry, organic chemistry for tests and finals. Most students I taught were B and C grade students trying to get into med school. They received A grades on their tests

PhD molecular biology, major medical biological research It is my task to make learning easier for you. Relying on my knowledge and experience I will guide you through the subject, point out the key concepts, models and ideas and show how a specific piece of information relates to something you already know. This approach ensures that new information is no scary and huge pile technical details but a sum of ideas that make sense and are easy to understand. I have a total of 10 years active research experience in medical biological and basic biological research. I earned my PhD at the Institute for Pathology in Basel for medical biological research. Then I had postdoctoral appointments at Tulane University and Baylor College of Medicine. Also I taught introductory courses to biology students at the University of Basel, for which I received excellent student feed back.

Talk through problem solving (proven to build and develop meta cognition and problem solving skills) 3 years of one on one private tutoring at UTSA. With approximately 300-500 hours of experience. I have worked one on one with more than 25 different clients for the long term. Each has been able to improve their grades by at least one letter. In certain cases improvements have been as high as 3 letter grades after beginning tutoring.

Very strong My favorite teaching style is the classical Black Board style that may involve Power Point presentations. I am very patient with my students and like to believe that I have the capability to make every student learn. I did an Undergraduate in Science with an honors in Chemistry, followed by an M.Sc. in Biochemistry and a PhD in Biochemistry. I was actively involved in Cancer Research in the Department of Biochemistry and have authored over 40 publications. Although I have expertise in Chemistry and Biochemistry, I have a passion for Math that includes Algebra 1 &2 , Pre-calculus, and Geometry.
