Organic Chemistry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Macon, NC

Discovery with emphasis on individual learning style - for instance tactical or visual instead of instructional - also have worked with kids who have emotional issues or self image issues that hold them back from learning - interested in working with kids who are in need of a someone who sees them as an individual Have worked with elementary age children and have tutored/mentored in the workplace. With many years of work experience with employees of varying skill levels, I understand what it takes to be a valued contributor and understand that students learn in very different ways. Creating a relationship with information that is meaningful to the student is the best way to help them learn a concept or process. Most learning focuses on information assimilation while I focus on applying the concept or process to a real work situation that has meaning to the student.

I received my BS in chemistry and my MS, Ph.D, and post-doctoral education in organic chemistry. Since 1998, my academic career has allowed me to teach chemistry to a wide variety of audiences, from high school students to assistant professors. During my tutoring sessions, I have noticed that assessing the student’s preference of learning is of upmost importance. This basic inquiry then allows me to tailor the session to their specific needs. Typically, I make use of everyday objects to help facilitate the student’s comprehension of the course material. I have discovered over my teaching tenure that it is not that students don’t understand organic chemistry, it is that they believe this is the case; many have bought into the myths that circulate about organic chemistry around the academic environments. From my own experience, I have yet to have a tutoring session where the student has

I solve problems. I am a bioanalytical chemist and biomedical engineer. This profession requires using math, statistics, biology and chemistry at a high level on a daily basis as I develop products that improve healthcare. I have taught or tutored science and math from elementary to post-college level for over 25 years in diverse settings. Student-led and interactive. No lectures. No drudgery. I focus on the process of solving problems. Restate the question. Draw diagrams. Figure out what information is missing. How can I get that information? Can it be calculated or is an estimate good enough? What sources are reliable?

I love teaching and working with people. I believe that there is no set teaching style, due to people's indifferance. I believe that because people learn in differant ways, then a teacher/tutor should approach students in many angles. I believe with my background I should be a good candidate for the tutoring position. I have a B.S. Chemistry from Elizabeth City State University, where I did R&D work with Atrazine. Atrazine is a pesticide that was tested qualitatively and quantitatively using HPLC. I've completed coursework for a M.S. Chemical Physics from Norfolk State University. After being offered a Teaching Assistantship, I taught multiple chemistry laboratory classes. My graduate research focuses on synthesizing organic monomers for Photovoltaic applications; however, I have assisted with research devoted to immobilizing enzymes onto solid supports at the Center for Materials

I did a great deal of tutoring while attending Rutgers and William Paterson. I received my NJ teaching certification and taught Physics, Biology, Astronomy at Belville HS in NJ, taught Chemistry, Biology and Seventh Grade Science at Blair Academy in NJ. Taught Trigonometry, Geometry at Wayne Hills High School in Wayne NJ. Instructed clases in Differential Equations at William Paterson University, as well as a first year Statistics course. I am currently the Chief Architect and CTO for Forsythe Technologies, but after being a guest teacher for my son's Physics class at St. David's School in Raleigh decided I enjoyed teaching / tutoring and felt it would be an excellent use of my down town. I have a very interactive and creative style of instruction. I have taught students with serious learning obstacles [social and physical] and have been recognized as having a flexible adaptive appro

I have been tutoring since I was 13 years old. Parents of my peers always approached me to teach their son or daughter. After I completed high school with a 4.0 GPA I was hired at a professional tutoring school. There I worked for nearly 10 years with a loyal student base many of whom I taught the entire time. I taught kids from when they were in elementary school all the way until high school. Some students were ineligible to go to normal school so I was their only teacher for years. In that time I managed to get these students up to 4 years ahead in certain subjects like math and science. I've also taught students that could not even speak english when they came to me and in a short amount of time they were fluent. Teaching to me is about relating the information to the students in a way they can understand. It is very important to make the material relevant to their lives some

I have graduated from North Carolina State University and earned a bachelors degree in Chemistry. While studying I have learned math and science as my forte but have also taken English, Spanish and history courses. I have written many reports in both my major classes and outside of them. I have been involved in many programs that help enhance children learning. I have worked diligently in the community specifically with underprivileged children to give them hope and show them that if they can believe it they can achieve it! I love working with all children. I enjoy changing my style to fit the specific need of the child and helping them in the way they learn the best. I want to be able to help them learn to become independent problem solvers. I want to help them become an asset to the team even when they are in the classroom and I am not there to coach them through that problem th

My previous teaching experience and training qualify me to provide outstanding service to students in this community. The rigorous academic curriculum I completed as an English major and Chemistry minor at Duke University cultivated study skills and learning strategies that helped me to excel. As a Phi Beta Kappa graduate, I not only applied these strategies to achieve personal success, but also volunteered to tutor elementary and middle school students with America Reads and at the Kings Park Life Center. As a Math Understanding through the Science of Life (MUSCLE) teaching fellow, I taught innovative science lessons to middle school students and received training about the unique styles of learners. My medical training has provided me with a strong foundation in college-level biochemistry, cell biology, physiology, and neurology, as well as given me further writing experience in bot

I love teaching adolescents. I think it is very fulfilling to watch a child obtain knowledge. I have a very hands-on teaching style. I like to work through all the problems and questions that the children have. I pride myself on using unique examples to explain complex problems and concepts. In my last year of college I chose to complete my field placement research project at an accelerated junior high school for low income families. At this school I was in charge of the after-school science club. I helped the adolescents learn aspects of science they wouldn't learn in the classroom. We also competed at a state Science Olympic competition. I was also in charge of after-school homework centers as well as a science and math tutor.

My unique experiences and rigorous education will enable me to make a positive contribution to any students education. I have a BS in Chemistry with a minor in Biological Sciences from NC State University. In addition to my scientific background, I have served as a private tutor for college students, a teaching assistant for chemistry labs, and an assistant coach at a children's fencing club over the past 5 years. The interpersonal skills and technological knowledge I've learned in these positions are invaluable in a teaching environment. I've taught students in a variety of environments: as a chemistry lab TA, as a youth fencing coach, and as a private tutor. While I believe that the details of quantum mechanics may be difficult for many individuals to fathom, I think that most scientific and mathematical concepts can be easy to grasp with the right instruction.
