Organic Chemistry can be a terrible subject. But, when approached in the right way understanding it can be very straight forward. With 4 years of Teaching Assistant experience and 2 years of personal tutoring experience I know everyone learns a little bit differently. Masters of Science with thesis Biology, Microbiology 2009 from Missouri Bachelors of Science Chemisty, Bio Chemisty, 2008 from Missouri Two years of private tutoring, both high school and college levels Four years as a Teaching Assistant - General Biology, Cellular Biology. Resident Assistant for two years in college, have been a mentor to a lot of students. I know everyone learns a little bit different. With experience in tutoring and teaching I can adapt to best fit your needs.

I am math and science tutor at Austin Community College. Also I have several experience with graduate students for preparing them for the graduate exams. I know different students learn in different ways. I am so patient and I know how to teach a concept in many different ways. I love teaching and I feel good when i can teach someone, something and help the students to learn the concepts.

Attitude is the biggest obstacle when trying to learn something new. I try to make the learning process as fun and interesting as possible. When a student is struggling, I believe it is vital to build their confidence towards success. It is important to not make them feel overwhelmed, but to show them how to conquer a problem step by step. I can help provide the tools that your child needs to realize his/her ability. While earning my BA in economics from The University of Texas, I also completed all my pre-med courses. This has provided me with a strong background in mathematics, social sciences, and natural sciences. I have always had a strong aptitude for integrating concepts from different disciplines and exploring how they relate to one another. This skill is useful when explaining new ideas to other students in terms that they can relate to.

I have been actively involved in Church youth work for the past twenty years. During that time I have mentored two to three high school students per year in algebra, chemistry, biology and physics. Basic math and science is critical to their future success in our hi-tech world and if they are willing to learn, I am willing to teach. Teaching has always been part of my professional career and I authored several technical training manuals during my years as the senior research engineer for Mobil Oil. My educational background includes a PhD in Chemical Engineering and Biomolecular Engineering from the University of Illinois. I believe there is a major difference between teaching the student how to get a good grade and mastering the fundamental concepts that control math and science. When helping a student with Algebra, it is critical to asses their basic skills in mathematical operations.

As an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan I studied chemistry, biochemistry, and mathematics as part of a triple major. I felt my breadth of technical fields was important because it would allow me to be conversant with many different disciplines in an ever increasingly interdisciplinary world. I also did two years of undergraduate research in chemistry and biochemistry topics. As a graduate student at the University of Texas I was a teaching assistant for organic chemistry lab for two years (4 semesters, 7 lab sections). Each larger question can subsequently be broken down into a set of smaller questions. These smaller questions are the building blocks of knowledge a student will acquire in classes and it is the ability to put them all together in a coherent manner that allows them to solve the problems at hand. I am a firm believer in asking leading questions of st

I recently graduated University of Texas with a BA in biology. Becasuse of this I have a strong background in science. I have also been involved in biochemistry research, specifically trying to create immunocontraceptives for rodents. In order to be effective researcher it was necessary for me to fully understand important chemistry, biology and biochemistry principles. In the past I have tutored college chemistry. In a more informal setting I have tutored subjects such as genetics. I enjoy the satisfaction tutoring brings me, but the satisfaction comes when I am successful in conveying knowledge. I feel I am a successful tutor because I take the time to get to know the student and I immediately get work on the weaknesses and amplify their strengths. I believe every student has the ability to succeed, so I explain the important principles over and over through different media and methods

As a graduate of sciences I have an in depth knowledge of the basic skills that are needed to continue a higher education. I have completed 140 hours in college that includes plenty of hours in biology, physics, math (thru calculus III) , and chemistry. I have also been tutoring freshman college students in these areas for several years. I know what it takes to learn and retain the vital information that needs to be learned before the student enters college. I am also a fluent Spanish speaker and can tutor students that are currently taking Spanish. I am able to teach these subjects to biligual students who need extra help in the science and math subjects. I approach teaching as something that takes very much patience and willingness to listen to the students problems. I believe in letting the student self discover his or her ablitiies by steering them in the right direction. I act as a

My wife and I home-schooled our three children from 1993 until 2004. In addition, I was active in Scouts from 1994 until 2007 as Assistant Scoutmaster, Scoutmaster and Merit Badge Counselor. These positions are supervisory in nature and involve both formal and informal teaching, mentoring and guiding. This experience also entailed several summer camps. My strengths are in the natural sciences, which formed the bulk of my work at UT, and English composition and grammar, as I gained extensive experience proofreading and writing essays for publication. I typically employ the Socratic method: asking questions to discover what the student knows (or thinks he knows) and guiding his thinking toward discovering the knowledge himself. Both my three children and my Scouts have declared that they enjoy my teaching because it engages their interest and because it is frequently humorous (when t

I create lessons that benefit from a student's best learning styles. Most of today's education is taught using the auditory method of lecturing, which is sadly the least favored learning style for most people. I can combine auditory, visual, physical, individual, and expressive teaching methods to create an effective learning experience. I learn a student's favored learning styles to customize lessons and to help students work on their strengths and weaknesses. My understanding of the important connections between science and the world around us will spark a curiosity that will inspire future learning. That curiosity and excitement coupled with my high expectations will motivate students to achieve in high school, college, and beyond. Graduated the University of Texas at Austin with a B.S. in mechanical engineering and a Spanish minor. During my time at UT I tutored peers in introd

I use a wide variety of approaches to teach since different students grasp concepts in differ ways. This variety has helped me to adapt as the skill levels and backgrounds of my students changed. Some of the methods I have used include a combination of illustrations, hands-on models, presentations, the internet, and any other means that appeals to students. I have explained how the concepts being presented are utilized in cutting edge research laboratories or popular consumer products. Since attending college, I have been infatuated with teaching. To learn the best strategies for teaching chemistry to students, I took a course entitled, “Instructional Techniques in Chemistry,” and served as the sole laboratory instructor for two sections of general chemistry during my undergraduate studies. I have taught non-science major undergraduates, continuing education high school teachers,
