Organic Chemistry is one of my top subjects! I have a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry and over 12 years of experience teaching or tutoring at the undergraduate-level.

I have been educated in the U.S. and Canada from kindergarten all the way to post-graduate work. I am a native English-speaker and have attended, taught, or worked at five different universities in the United States including New York University, Stony Brook University, George Mason University, The Ohio State University, and the University of Washington. I have an Honors Bachelor's in Chemistry and a Master's and Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. I have over 13 years of experience tutoring and teaching chemistry courses at the college-level. Examples of courses that I have been involved with include: General Chemistry (1st year), Organic Chemistry (2nd year), Organic Chemistry Lab, and General Science courses. In addition, I have tutored graduate-level pharmacology students. I also worked as a MCAT Organic Chemistry Instructor for a major test preparation company and was certified as an ... read more

I am a third year college student at Grand Valley State University. I have taken most of the major sciences such as chemistry, physiology and anatomy or micro and genetics. I test out algebra so I didnt have to take college algebra. I took all math classes in high school up to pre- cal. although I have not taken any math classes in college but I am confident that I will be able to help someone out because I tutor my cousin and sister all the time. My sister is a junior in high school and my cousin is a fifth grader.
I prefer going over notes first and then answering questions afterward, working through problems depends on students' needs.

The greatest challenge in effectively teaching students is also what makes being an educator most rewarding. That challenge is about making connections with what students already know. My teaching style focuses on having an understanding of the student's pre-existing knowledge, and using that as a base on which to create connections to new knowledge. In this way, new ideas that were once abstract can be made relevant to the student's life, creating a real learning situation. This challenge is also the most rewarding part of being an educator because when students learn by building connections, they get excited about that new information. In addition to creating a lesson based on the students' pre-existing knowledge, I believe that the most effective way to teach should include a combination of methods of instruction. More than simply reading text and writing responses to questions, ... read more

I recalled my difficulties in learning difficult subjects, my difficulties are not universal but I draw from them in finding what is blocking the student from grasping certain concepts. I recall teaching my children at a very early age the concept of ratios. I used windows, tiles from the kitchen, a pizza pie etc. This, before going to pencil and paper and it worked. Till this day they know fractions inside and out because they understood the concept in real life. This is typically my approach, then we can go and do problems in the abstract on paper.
I have a very broad experience in the fields of chemistry and physics. This was attained during my work experience within the Pharmaceutical industry. This has enabled me to gain an intimate knowledge of research methodology, logical approach to problem solving, mathematical relationships, and writing skills as evident in publications ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I taught H.S. chemistry I & II in the Indianapolis area from 2001-2005. Entering college at Western Michigan U, I had plans on becoming a teacher, but went into the analytical research laboratory. I decided to go back and get my teaching license because I have a passion for education. I believe that the learning experience is wonderful and chemistry/science excites me. Sometimes I reflect back and consider how everything I see, touch, and smell is made from the elements on the periodic table. How can that be?
I enjoy teaching and working with young adults. I am a Christian and I believe in patients, consideration, and encouragemet. Since I was a chemistry/science teacher, I believe in hands on learning and of course discovery. I brought real life experiences into my lesson plans because I have years of experience as a chemist. I used PowerPoint presentations to entertain a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In my career in automotive plastics, I coached or taught manufacturing principles to improve quality and efficiency. My demonstrated success is due in part to my efforts to educate and coach operators, engineers and managers to understand the basic principles of chemistry, math and engineering to buy into a logical course of action. I have also greatly enjoyed my voluntary participation as a youth football coach. I have coached 8-12 year olds the last 5 years. It is very fulfilling to demonstrate and coach new skills to children to develop an organized team.
I have a BS in chemical engineering. I have 13 years of applying engineering and project management principles in the automotive plastics industry. A key to my success is influencing people by explaining "why" and "how" something should be done to develop partnerships leading to increased cooperation and advocacy.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and a master’s degree in environmental engineering. I have two and a half years of experience teaching chemistry courses and three years of professional experience in the private industry. I am patience with the students and I encourage them to ask me questions. My philosophy is that each student has a unique way of learning and I help them to find their best way to study.
I love the one on one interaction a tutor has with the students. I believe all children have a unique style of learning and we need to help them find their own way of learning. For example some kids are visual learners, while others are hearing learners. My work as a tutor is to see which method is the best for them. I am very patience with my students. Some students just need a little bit of guidance to help raise their self esteem and I am sure with our help they ar ... read more

I love to teach both theoritical chemistry and practicle chemistry with new approaches and novel tecnologies. I have cool sense of temperment and sprinkling interpretational skills. As an organic chemist and having experience in analytical applied chemistry, I can able to teach a real world chemistry.
I had very much passion to teach chemistry, especially organic chemistry as it is more challenging and rewarding field of chemistry. Organic chemistry comprises of synthetic organic chemistry and natural products chemistry and I was specialized both in teaching the theory and to conduct research activities to graduate students for both BS and MS levels. As chemistry is a critical subject, it has to be dealt with very constructive approach with atmost fundamental aspects.

I have a bachelors degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry. I also have additional coursework in mathematics including real analysis and statistics. I currently am attending western michigan university for a masters degree in statistics. I have experience tutoring chemistry to undergraduates. I also have a great deal of experience writing reports of a highly technical nature.
I get to know the student and assess individual understanding. Then I relate the material to the student in a way that is conducive to comprehension. Then I encourage working through problems and giving examples in a way that relates material to prior knowledge. "Perfect practice makes perfect."; I accomplish this by working through problems with the student. I believe every student can be successful, and I enjoy teaching and contributing to success.

A Little Bit About Me...

In addition to conducting research for Grand Valley, I have spent the past three years teaching as an adjunct professor. I have consistently received positive student evaluations and have been highly regarded by the administration. I am patient and I teach the student by asking questions, such that eventually they will come up with the correct answer and absorb the complete information of the initial problem. These activities have been a bridge between my accomplishments thus far, and my goals for pursuing an advanced degree in a field I am truly passionate about.
I graduated in 2008 from Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan with a B.S. in chemistry and an emphasis in biochemistry. Currently, I am an adjunct professor at Grand Valley and am conducting research under the direction of Dr. Matthew Hart. I believe that my educational, research, and teaching background ... read more

Everything starts out with passion. My passion is to help others when they are in need. When it comes to math and other subjects, I'm very capable. I graduated high school as a Salutorian and graduated college with a Magna Cum Laude.
Everyone learns through seeing, demonstrations, examples, and practicing. If one demonstration or examples won't work, a second or third demonstration or example is needed and it may have to demonstrate differently. I'm very patient when it comes to teaching. I'm good at being creative about finding ways to teach someone so that he or she can understand.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to help people, and I thrive in relationships with others that leave a meaningful impression on both the giver and the receiver. I personally have always tried to achieve academic excellence, and I love to assist others in doing the same. I am a good listener, patient, easy going, and understanding. I recognize that all students learn differently, and I try to tailor my teaching to the individual student's learning style and needs.
At the University of Tampa I earned a BS in Biochemistry. While completing my degree I became knowledgeable in many areas of math and science. I also gained skills in grammar while writing research papers, lab reports, and essays in various classes. I worked in the academic center for excellence on campus for two years tutoring fellow students in chemistry, biology, genetics, and mathematics.

Being no stranger to difficult classroom settings, I understand that ideal teaching conditions rarely exist. I enjoy to challenge of encouraging more distracted students to learn, and possess the compassion and patience to work with most students. If a teacher can earn a student's respect, which comes easier for a younger instructor such as myself, then positive reinforcement has a much greater impact on that student's motivation to learn. My experience teaching lends the skill to gain student's trust in confidence allowing me to achieve great things with any student, all of whom deserve positive roles models and passionate teachers.
I worked as a substitute teacher for a charter high school in St. Louis, MO directly out of undergrad. I taught most subjects including Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, History and Language Arts. I feel comfortable in my ability to teach most subjects ... read more

My love of mathematics and science has driven me to where I am today. I have earned a BS in chemistry and have just graduated from MSU's medical school. This has provided me with an extensive background in the basic as well as the more complex maths and sciences needed to achieve the successes I have. As an undergraduate majoring in chemistry, I was provided with many opportunities to use my abilities to help those classmates of mine who had questions or needed extra help. During the last 8 years, I have had the opportunity to tutor students in chemistry, basic mathematics, and work with elementary school afterschool program for at risk children. I have extensive experience with research papers and lab reports.
Patience, willingness, compassion, and time are key characteristics that I can provide to any child that needs it. I believe in teaching a child in not only the proce ... read more
