When it comes to starting a new subject, I start with questions to stimulate minds first. I start from the last step, example: How can we do elbow flexion? Then elbow joint constituents and their relation to each other Then the origin and insertion of the "Brachialis" as well as its nerve and blood supply.... I think this works for almost 70% of students. Some have a special aproach that can be discovered in their response to a general question like "What can you see through this window"? Such an answer could tell wheather they focus on the large image or on the details, wheather they get impressed by colors or movements..etc.
I used to volounteer to help my fellow students in sessions similar to tutor under supervision of the assistant professor (who holds a PhD degree in the subject). I was designated "dissector"; Those prepare for the "practical-lab." class for Anatomy. In Egyp ... read more

I believe that all students have the ability to learn any material. However, many students have different ways of doing so. By identifying the students strong points, one can help the student learn. Also, one can relate information that the student doesn't know to things that the student knows a lot about, making learning much easier. With the appropriate surroundings and certain guidance, I believe that any student can improve and exceed expectations.
I have several years of experience in tutoring. I began as a volunteer tutor for a few chemistry classes during undergraduate study, and was eventually hired as a teaching assistant at Illinois Wesleyan University. I am continuing my education and am enrolled at Loyola University-Chicago for graduate study working towards a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. I was selected for a teaching assistantship for 3 classes at Loyola. I have tut ... read more

I have taught "Introduction to Business & Technology" since March, 2008 and was promoted to teaching two classes online in 8-week cycles as "adjunct professor" in mid-2010. I was promoted to "visiting professor" in 2011, and enjoy working with students who range broadly in ability. My greatest strength is in helping students to believe in their own ability through aspects of mentorship and encouragement. I find that a high quality education is attainable when there is close, effective student-teacher contact. Any subject can be learned given the proper keys to finding desire in the student by creating an environment of peaceful learning, while also encouraging positive movement through reflections of forward progress. The ultimate achievement comes by creating “stand-alone” capability.
I have progressed from Research Engineer to Senior Research Associate over the course of 32 years ... read more

I have taken quite a few upper level courses that many students may find difficult in their collegiate years. I took General Chemistry I & II, Organic Chemistry I & II, College Physics I & II, Human Physiology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Calculus I, Histology, General Biology, Pathophysiology, and Genetics to name a few. I come from a heavy science background and have been tutoring students since Junior year of high school. I have also completed several research projects at my undergraduate institution. I am willing to tutor college level courses because I have first-hand experience with them and know how frustrating times can be while in college.
I love teaching and imparting knowledge to others. I believe that if you understand a concept or idea, then you have the obligation to help another who is faltering on the way with the same concept. I believe in sharing knowledge and tha ... read more
