I believe that people learn in many different ways, and the key to effective teaching is using a combination of visual and auditory cues. I am a patient person, and I'm extremely passionate about chemistry and would love to help others discover their potential in this field. Because math and science go hand in hand, I understand the importance of pinpointing exactly what the student is struggling with. Because of this, I am extremely good and tutoring in both math and chemistry simultaneously. My goal is to not only teach chemistry and math, but to give my students the tools they need to study and learn effectively on their own. I also believe that positive reinforcement is the best way to encourage students, and teaching a student chemistry and math is just as important as instilling confidence in them. I graduated from the University of California, San Diego in 2003 with a BS in Che

I have enjoyed teaching ever since I was given the opportunity to teach a lab as an undergraduate student at San Diego State University. My enthusiasm for teaching continued into my graduate studies. I was a graduate TA instructor at the University of California at San Diego. I completed the university’s required course on student teaching and taught undergraduates general chemistry and all levels of undergraduate organic chemistry. These sections involved a traditional classroom and averaged about 15 students in size. I was able to refine my preparation, lecture style, board work, and pace during these sessions. Organic, synthetic chemist with recent academic experience as well as 9 years of industry experience. My time in industry was spent on several team-oriented projects, including: diabetes, hepatitis C, and thyroid receptor programs. This research required an aptitude in s

I really enjoy working with students and I feel that education is the most important aspect of an individuals life. I have taught at John W. North High School in Riverside, Ca. One of my assignments was to fill in for an AP Statistics teacher while she was on maternity leave. Since that day I have feel in love with biostatistics and took all of my graduate level electives in Biostatistics courses. I enjoy both the one on one mentoring and also engaging students in small groups and as an entire classroom. The one on one mentoring gives me a feel for the best way for that particular student to learn, therefore I can adjust my teaching style to their strengths.

My approach to tutoring is that all students want to learn, even if they act otherwise. It is my job to make the subject more relevant, interesting and understandable for them. I assume everyone is capable of learning the material and try different ways of introducing and reinforcing information until it sinks in. I believe parents have a hard enough job, and it is sometimes best for someone else to tackle school subjects where the kids are not thriving. Kids often benefit from a fresh perspective and if their self-esteem is at all suffering from difficulties at school, having a new person involved in their lives can help them feel more confident again. As a student, I loved school so much so that I went on to get a graduate degree in science. Science and writing have been huge parts of my professional career (non-tutoring) and I have worked with government research entities, an en

My style of teaching is professional and fun. I usually make friends with students so that they don’t feel stressed and bored. Too much pressure doesn’t help learning. I think students can learn better in a relaxing environment. In addition, when I am teaching, I usually make examples from daily life so that students can associate the subject to their surroundings, which helps them understand better. I started tutoring when I was a college student. Upon my entrance to the SDSU Department of Chemistry, I was granted an opportunity to teach as a TA in Chemistry. I had been teaching for 4 years before I received my master's degree in December of 2007. In these 4 years, I always had good evaluations from students. As a result of my hard work, the SDSU Residential Education Office decided to hire me as a contracted tutor in the dormitory area in 2007. In addition to teaching and tutoring at s

I love interaction and try to encourage as much participation as possible by asking questions. I feel that people learn best when they have an active role in the process. I also try to explain things with analogies as often as possible and have found that what might seem like a very simple analogy can often be the best way to "unlock" a person's ability to understand a concept. I have also learned that teaching is all about communication, and believe it is more that helpful to try and adopt one's communication style to meet different ways different people have of understanding. I love teaching and explaining new ideas. Even as a Biology student at Point Loma Nazarene University, I was working with other students to study in groups and always learned best by teaching the things I understood. I have experience working for Kaplan as an MCAT instructor, and have given lectures in biology

Tutoring is not the same as classroom teaching. The first requirement is to clearly identify what the student is interested in gaining from the sessions. Then it is necessary to evaluate his/her skills needed to acheive this goal. It is most important to terrace instruction which will reinforce the student's strenghts as they add on new understanding in context with what they already know. Maintaining this level of confidence will more likely result in the student making efforts on their own and improving. I have taught Chemistry most recently but also Biology, Earth Science, Physical Science, and Math. I have been involved with teacher training in the SUHSD by conducting 9 training days for the SDAIE program.(methods for second language learners) I have five years of teaching Chemistry in African countries, one year at the AP level. I have always encouraged my students to see me for ext

Experience has taught me that students learn best when they are engaged in the material. A good instructor will be able to take concepts that appear to be mundane or seemingly irrelevant and put them in a context where the students can relate to the material. Once engaged, then the students need to actively participate in the problem solving process to truly cement the learning. I have been engaged in teaching for over a decade. I taught organic chemistry tutoring sessions while an undergraduate, and then continued teaching and tutoring while earning my Ph.D. in chemistry. In addition to my experience as a teaching assistant, I was given the opportunity to prepare and deliver lectures to over 400 organic chemistry students at the University of Michigan. As a researcher for a pharmaceutical company, I have continued to teach chemistry and biology to the associates I mentor as well as

I have tutored HS 9-12 and undrgraduate students individually in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and for SAT/ACT testing since the late 1990's. I received teaching credentials for teaching 9-12 Mathematics in California in 2005. I have worked as a Math/Sciences substitute in the Grossmont Union High School District since that time. I have also worked with A+ Professional Tutoring -- in San Diego County -- and Tutor.com -- online -- for many years, in every level of the Sciences and Mathematics. I love Mathematics and I often wear my heart on sleeve; when it comes to Math, I try to infect the student with that bug. I believe that most students have issues with their immediate teaching and, as a result, feel that math has no meaning to them, hence I teach Mathematics in a contextual manner, showing deep meaning for the drills imposed in the classroom curriculums most experience da

Teaching and working with children has been a passion for me since middle school when I was still a child myself. My advantage of working with children this young is that I understand them better then and now as an adult so I can find an effective teaching style that will help them grow. I've also taught a variety of students from deaf and hard of hearing to ESL students and am able to easily adapt to their needs and hardships. I love children and nothing is as rewarding as watching them grow, learn and gain confidence for their lives in the future. I am an enthusiastic and driven college graduate of two time consuming majors, BS in Chemistry and a BFA in Dance. Along with two majors, I also participated in many extracurricular activities such as working, teaching children, dancing in multiple performances, baby sitting, etc. Due to my different majors, I have broadened my experience

I am a patient teacher that understands that some concepts are not easily understood and simply repeating yourself without changing your tack will not bring about understanding. Providing real world examples that are relevant to a student's interests is one powerful way to encourage learning. With regards to math and science, I've often found that abstract theoretical concepts are more difficult to understand, whereas practical examples are more easy to visualize. Whenever possible, I try to create scenarios that apply in the real world so that the student can understand and apply the concept in the future. I am a synthetic Organic Chemist with over 7 years of industrial experience with Pfizer Inc. During this time period I routinely shared research progress with my peers and helped educate them on new reactions, instrumentation, techniques and methodology. During my studies at Kala

I prefer to approach every student very slowly in the beginning to understand exactly where their trouble are. Listening is the most important attribute that a tutor can have followed by patience. It's my job to identify where the student's problem are and address those problems. My experience has tought me that most people just need a new perspective to understand certain materials at hand. Providing applications for someone learning new concepts is key for their development because the student understands how the concepts they're learning applies in the real world. I have been told by many of my former students that this is the reason they learn the concepts so well. I finished my lower division coursework at a california community college (AHC) and earned a total of six associate degrees. While at the community college, I administered practice test for students in MESA in mathematics
