PhD Physics, able to tutor in science, math, engineering

I follow the method of G. Polya in his classic work "How to Solve It". By asking the right questions, one can help the student define his problem, form a plan for the solution, carry out the plan, and examine the result. I also try to work as many difficult problems from the student's text as time permits, in order to show that all problems have a solution, and the student can build confidence in attacking any problem. I try to present the material in as many ways as needed, so that I can match the subject to the student's style of learning.
I was a senior scientist - engineer for 37 years. I retired to care for my comatose wife at home, and she died a few months later. This situation has left me open to new directions. My teaching experience has been 3 years as a graduate teaching assistant, and 2 years as a tutor to friends and family in science and mathematics. My goal is ... read more

My comments on tutoring Chemistry : My undergraduate, masters degrees were in Chemistry. I have taken many advanced level courses in Chemistry

I am a passionate and patient teacher. It gives me a great satisfaction to make students understand the concepts and my real reward is through seeing the improvement in their performance. My style is to first analyze the student's needs. I then openly discuss my ideas with the parents and the student. Once they concur, I propose a class schedule and meet them either at their home or a public place.
I have overall 10 years of teaching experience. I came to United States to do my Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. As a graduate student, I worked as a TA for the Department of Chemistry. I was trained on an intense 4 week program focused on undergraduate teaching methods offered by the Teaching College of U of Nebraska. I taught various undergraduate courses (both laboratory and recitation) at the Department of Chemistry, UNL. I have been living in Seattle for the past four years, and I have ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been teaching Biology 1100 for undergraduate offered by Idaho State University for past 2.5 years. Being a biology major i enjoy teaching biology and help student understanding basic foundation of science. Understanding is a part of learning where most of the student struggle. Science would be so much fun if we stick with the basic. Beside biology i have helped students with maths, physics and chemistry which without any doubt is an integral part of science. Being a recent graduate student i have learned the way how to tackle with problems and have successfully employed those problem solving techniques in my teaching carrier.contact me 2085402785 or email: waglpraj@isu.edu

Chemistry is one of my top subjects!

Tutoring especially appeals to me because breakthrough moments don’t always occur while class is in session. Every student has a slightly different way of wrapping his or her head around a given concept. By engaging students one-on-one, I can get a feel for their specific situation and how they relate to a given topic, and modify my teaching style and examples to fit their needs.
I received my Bachelor of Science from Western Washington University and my Master of Science from the University of Oregon, both in chemistry. After graduation, I worked in the pharmaceutical industry as a synthetic chemist before starting a PhD program. While I ultimately decided not to complete my doctorate, I did discover I had quite a passion for teaching chemistry. I then started teaching test prep courses and tutoring students, and later I started teaching general and organic chemistry as an adjunct ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have spent the last two years teaching introductory biology at Virginia Commonwealth University while earning my MS in Biology. In addition to lecturing and grading papers, I have also spent a great deal of one-on-one time with my students reviewing the more difficult concepts and focusing their attention to the important aspects of biology amongst all the minute details. I have also spent a year each working as a statistics tutor and a writing center consultant at Maryville College in eastern TN. Though the majority of my experience has been at the college level, I have also worked with children ages 4-10 as the Environmental Education Coordinator for the Montreat Conference Center.
I feel as though I have always loved learning and have excelled at school all my life. It wasn’t until I began tutoring in college that I discovered my passion for teaching as well. My approach ... read more

As a graduate from college with a degree in geology, I am familiar with challenges that students may face in succeeding in school. The process of college taught me many learning skills that ultimately helped me succeed. During college and high school, I took many math and science classes, however, I have also taking several writing classes, and completed a senior thesis, which greatly improved my writing. Since high school I have been involved with several tutoring opportunities, including tutoring elementary level math, as well as, volunteering with environmental education organization.
Through out my academic career I have faced many challenges, and many times have had to turn to tutors and peers for help, as a result I am familiar with the dilemmas children can face. Through my experience with children, I believe that all children find success if the material is presented in a m ... read more

Being the first college graduate for a portion of my family, I feel that the need to excel is extremely important. I earned my BS in chemistry, a 132 hour program, in four years. Working as a TA I felt I could directly help students reach their goals by giving them additional tools to learn with. Since being a TA, I have worked in a laboratory and have been relied upon to convey technical data to non-technical people, helping translate concepts and ideas into everyday language.
I enjoyed teaching during my tenure as a TA. In addition, through college I was able to participate in educational outreaches to elementary and junior high students showing them that chemistry does have a great significance in their lives. As a teacher, I really want to show the students through the basic concepts and really allow the student to help use those concepts to explore more difficult situatio ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a pre-dental student from Seattle University, I have created my own goals for a successful education. I am on track for earning two degrees, a BS in Mathematics and a BS in General Science. My greatest strength is in mathematics, as I have undergone extensive outside coursework in this field from an early age. I have tutored mathematics for four years, from middle school and high school students in after school tutoring programs to college-aged students and adults who are returning to college in my school’s Math Lab, an educational center designed to provide math help to those enrolled in math classes. My experience as a resident assistant has facilitated my ability to work with a diverse student population. With regards to my French ability, I was enrolled in a French Immersion program for the first four years of elementary school and had taken four years in high school.

A Little Bit About Me...

While completing my BS in engineering, I spent two years tutoring math, physics, and optics. During my senior year I was also able to teach a portion of two terms of the freshman optics class. During the last four years I have worked as an aerospace engineer, and as a private contractor. Although these weren't teaching positions, I believe that these experiences have given me unique opportunities to share my knowledge and will be helpful to me in the future for teaching and tutoring.
What strikes me most as I look back at my education is how much of an impact a teacher can have when they make their subject relevant to their students. When I am teaching I try to find out what motivates each student as a person, in addition to what is motivating them to take the class. My goal is to find a way to present the material in such a way that the experience of learning is a journey of ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I try to avoid giving students an answer immediately, but rather try to pry the answer out of them with questions so that they can figure out the answer themselves. I see teaching as helping/forcing the student to think things out and make discoveries for themselves, not just being spoon-fed information. Of course, sometimes it is necessary to tell students the answer if all else fails (after all, it is important that learning is not a frustrating activity for the student), and rote memorization can be a valuable tool every now and then. Above all else, I would describe my style as being patient and trying to allow the student to have fun and be interested in the topic under study.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Washington with a BS in Chemistry. I also have a strong background in math and biology. Aside from my educational background, I have experience as an educa ... read more

I believe that an empowered student can accomplish anything with proper guidance. By building their confidence in the subject matter and ensuring that their study time is constructive, I can help set students up for success come test day. When tutoring, I always meet the student where they are, take as much time to go over concepts as they need, and work creatively to share information in a way that is appropriate to each student's individual learning style. I have experience working with students from extremely diverse backgrounds (ESL, gifted, learning "disabled," etc.), and am confident that I can provide any student with the skills they need to pass their math and science classes with flying colors.
As a future medical student, I have completed extensive coursework in math and the sciences. With a Bachelor's degree in nutrition, I have a firm grasp on biology, chemistry, an ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a mom, I've learned to be patient and easy going. As a teacher, I try to find the best approach for individual students. Some of them need more guided practice and examples, while some benefit from independent work. My pace and level of difficulty in teaching will be determined by the student background and potential and it usually goes from slow/easy to harder/faster.
I've been teaching most of my life, first as a rank one student to my classmates and friends and later as a physics and math instructor. I enjoy showing the easy ways to go through complicated looking problems and concepts to my students and I like to witness their academic accomplishments which build the confident to be successful in life as well.
