Organic Chemistry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Hillsboro, KS

Have tutored students for three semesters at my college in general chemistry. This included three sessions a week that were pre-planned out. Subject material was reviewed from class as well as having test practices. Students always acknowledged how much coming to me helped them succeed, especially when they could not understand their teacher.

I have a passion for education. I am a lifelong learner that loves getting my student excited about learning. This is often easier said than done. Through instruction in my teaching program and field experiences I have learned how to motivate students, address various types of intelligences, convey knowledge of my content area, and find lessons to best fit the needs of my students to help them actively learn. "Teaching" was the way I supported myself through college. I was a lab instructor, university experience teacher, cultural anthropology tutor, nutrition educator, and even a gymnastic instructor. I was thankful to find the College of St. Mary's Masters of Arts in Teaching. It is a solid program that has given me the opportunity to have a formal education in teaching. In my program I have over 100 practicum hours in a middle school science classroom, I tutored AP chemistry, and I

Since I have tutored for several years, I've found that every person learns slightly differently. The key to how I teach is to figure out how that person best learns. There is no such thing as a stupid person, just one who hasn't been taught in a way that they can understand yet. I am a firm believer in never giving up on someone, particularly when I know that they can do it. Most just need a little help and encouragement to figure out that they ARE smart and they CAN do it, and that's what I'm here for. I actually started tutoring while I was still in college, helping out one of the science/math teachers, and proctoring classes when she needed me to. I have a BS in Natural Science with a biology emphasis, from which I've gained knowledge in most areas of science and math. Besides helping to teach in college, I also was a tutor for three years, in several subjects including Chemistry, Al

My first formal teaching position was as an undergraduate teaching assistant for the chemistry laboratory for non-chemistry majors. I received my BS from MIT in 1988 and went on to the University of Pittsburgh where I taught two of the six years I was there. I spent the rest of my time as a research assistant, but was often chosen to teach lab skills to others. At Wesleyan university I taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in chemistry for six years. Today I teach Basic Chemistry at a local Community College where individual tutoring remains a large part of my role as a teacher. I strive to give my students both the fundamentals of the subject we are studying and a sense of esteem about their ability to achieve in that subject. I am successful at this because I am extremely patient, listen carefully to the student and let them contribute to the lesson, and have a thorough k

I treat each student as an individual with individual goals and a unique learning style. My strengths lie in teaching fundamentals and being able to find impediments that get in the way of students’ abilities to learn. I am very patient and believe that everyone is able to learn. It is a matter of helping them to find the key to their own abilities. Along the way to an understanding of the material, my hope is each student becomes better prepared to handle the next difficult subject. A teacher’s hope is that her students will grow enough to make her obsolete. I have earned both a bachelor degree and a master's degree in chemistry and was active in research for many years. Because of the many years I've spent in the research lab and writing papers for the chemical literature, I have gained a working knowledge of chemistry, mathematics and physics and teaching has been a part of ev
