Don’t wait. A tutor is part of Organic, just a fact

I am an organic chemist. I will only teach you at the level you are assigned. My background makes it easier for you. Anyone can learn organic chemistry or the other subjects and standardized exams I've tutored. I focus on understanding and independence with a minimum of memorization. In fact, that's the only difference between an "A" and something that is unacceptable. I hold a 100% pass rate (or better). I've learned how to make the subject simple, save you time, and learn so you retain it. We work at your pace (nothing else works) but we make progress immediately.
I establish rapport with students and quickly gauge what the difficulties are and what they concerns are. I guide you through the process and make is a step by step process to outperform others, maintain peace of mind and graduate on time. Confidence is essential in organic. We build that first and clear ... read more

My comments on tutoring Testing Strategies : I am still on my own personal academic journey as a graduate student, along the ways I have developed strong techniques in maximizing test scores. My experience and advice will only help.

I am a newly grad from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs; I earned my B.A. in History and a minor in philosophy. I maintained a 3.5 GPA and had the honor of being selected to study abroad at the University of Puerto Rico while writing my senior thesis on the socioeconomic conflicts of Puerto Rico's independence movement. I will be pursuing my Master's degree next fall, continuing the path of academia. I relate well to students because I am a lifelong student. Also I am a husband and a proud parent of three children. I am experienced at running a healthy household where academics reign supreme; dictatorship is often avoided under the guide of homework being an opportunity to show off. Kids find that fun. I am also aware of the challenges of parenting because I too am a parent.
There is not progress without dedication; there is no dedication without interest. I spark inte ... read more

My goal as a teacher is to "fit" the material that needs to be learned into each student's character and mindset. Everyone excels at something -- it is my job to find out what that is and how to make that work so that new material can be incorporated. I work to help students achieve their potential and strive to help them feel confident that they can do well.
I have assembled a wide variety of experiences during my years of work and education. I have worked as a journalist, advertising copy writer and designer; and teacher of adult learners in the areas of fine art, art history, and garden design. For 16 years, I owned a operated a successful garden design business and, more recently, taught in a local elementary school for six years as a fifth grade teacher, specializing in reading and, especially, writing. I occasionally write for garden publications and continue to create a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have worked with students ranging from elementary through high school. My specialties are the following: Language Arts and U.S. History. I am also comfortable working with elementary students in any subject, as I taught all elementary subjects in California prior to moving to Colorado in 1995. I have tutored many students one on one or in small groups.
It is my belief that all students can learn. However, students have different learning styles; therefore, a teacher needs to be creative and discerning at times in order to help. My experience as a public school teacher has shown this countless times. Students need to be ready to accept the challenge, and realize that there is no "magic bullet". The more effort a student puts into the learning achievement, the greater the rewards.

A Little Bit About Me...

I taught 5th grade for 3 years, right out of college, then began substitute-teaching k-12 and have been doing that for the past 5 years. In addition to this, I have been a nanny to various aged children and helped them with their schoolwork and studies. I believe my experiences with children, ranging in age from infants through 12th grade, have developed my ability to be flexible and to adapt to many different learning environments and abilities. I have substitute taught English, Math, Science, History, Physical Education, Home Economics, Business, and many other subjects. I also taught my own classroom of 5th graders all basic core subjects appropriate to that age. I believe I have many tutoring capabilities based on my wide range of experience with children in and out of the classroom.
As educators, teachers and tutors play a vital role in the lives of children. I consider ... read more

I have always worked with children, from baby sitting to working in a licensed day care facility. I have helped children with their homework and love the challenges early childhood creates. With my experience working with children I have learned patience and valuable listening skills. I earned by Bachelors degree in history which taught me how to sit and pay attention to detail.
Teaching to me is one of the greatest pleasures I have. Helping children learn and making learning fun is something I strive for. I understand that all children are different and teaching styles need to be just as different. I like to find different ways for children to like and understand a problem that was once difficult. I listen and like the children to explain to me their difficulties and come up with a solution together to make learning fun.

More About This Tutor...

I am a warm and friendly teacher. Students are encouraged in whatever manner works best for them individually. For many, this takes the form of a friendly, cajoling encouragement. Others need reassurance of their capabilities. Regardless of the student, I find that success feeds their success. I try to find out what is of interest to my students, and to present the material as it relates to that interest. This keeps them motivated to listen and to learn. As they learn, I make sure they realize that they have experienced success. Encouragement and reinforcement of achievements are central to my interactions with every one of my students. I truly believe that, with the right approach and reinforcement of what they've learned, all students are capable of achieving their goals.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a substitute teacher, I try to engage the interest of all the students by greeting them by name initially as I welcome them to their classroom. Easing the tension when someone messes up by asmitting that everyone blows it at some point is always a hit. It is understood by all that the day will be different than when their teacher is in the classroom, but that we'll get through together. So, we move through the day making the most of every activity.
As a Michigan resident, I was unable to find sny substantial work in the fiels of Social Work once I earned my BA degree. So, I worked in 3-4 school districts over a two year period before gaining full time work with the State. Eventually, in 2006 I lost my position with the state and again returned to substitute teaching. I enjoy young poeple and giving them a strong dose of encouragement even in brief one-day encounters.
