Organic Chemistry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Portland, OR

www.logicstudies.com We see education as a meeting of minds, where every participant is on the same level. While a tutor may well have more knowledge of a subject than the student, learning is a communicative and collaborative process; the transmission of ideas can only happen when we acknowledge we each have something to learn from one another. Part of what makes Logic Studies so successful and distinctive is that we refuse to fall into the prescribed teacher-student dynamic. Never condescending and demonstrating mutual respect, the tutors at Logic Studies treat their students as peers, or coequals .

As a biochemistry undergraduate student, I was selected to be an organic chemistry workshop leader. As a workshop leader, I meet with students on a weekly basis to complete difficult organic chemistry problems and answer any questions that they may have. In addition to the workshops, I was also asked to be a teaching assistant. As a teaching assistant, I work closely with professors to establish grading guidelines, and use my knowledge of organic chemistry to grade for a course of over 200 students. I am very flexible in my teaching style, and delivery of information. Some students know exactly how they learn, while others are unsure. I will always adapt to an individuals learning style. Although it is sometimes difficult to determine how a student learns best, it is important to recognize these differences among individuals. It is my goal to make sure that each student leaves a tutor se

I enjoy tutoring, especially with motivated people. I have much experience in translating difficult academic problems to meaningful skills. I still don't have my times tables memorized but can demonstrate difficult fractions and imaginary numbers to others. My experience in laboratory, design and classroom settings allows me to illustrate complex concepts meaningfully. I enjoy working one-on-one to help facilitate deeper understanding. I would consider working with special needs children or those with learning disabilities. I have had experience in tutoring mathematics at local community colleges. I have also tutored chemistry, physics and many medical subjects informally. I have finished classwork in a medical program and have assisted with many classes, mostly in physiology related courses.

As an educator, my responsibility is to ensure that my students not only learn the required information but also feel positive and invested in their subject. I am patient with my students and enjoy facilitating the learning processes. Each student is unique and I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to help my students fulfill their potential. While a graduate and undergraduate student, I've had the opportunity to teach at the University of Georgia. I've taught a wide spectrum of classes and labs ranging from Physical Oceanography to Cell Biology. My tutoring experience has been concurrent with my teaching experience and has largely been for my own students. In addition, I've been responsible for grading and aiding in the writing of numerous undergraduate research reports.

I am an experienced chemist with a background in both biochemistry and organic chemistry and a somewhat rare combination of a gregarious nature and a rigorous empirical focus. I have 4 years experience teaching both lecture and laboratory courses at a college level. My students have included many different learning styles and national backgrounds and I am proud of the level of flexibility I have developed to help them all master what can be abstract and challenging subjects. I have also trained numerous technical workers in the biotechnology industry and always strive to include practical applications of the subject matter, even in the classroom. My teaching style is best described as observational and flexible; students have very different "windows' that allow them to learn, especially with abstract subjects. As a teacher I have to observe what works best for a student and then deliver

I love teaching and relating to people. I know from personal experience that one good teacher can change the way a student views an entire subject. I am easy-going, friendly, and patient. I believe that all students have great potential and should be given every opportunity to fulfill it. Having graduated from a liberal arts university, I know that being well-rounded is very important in life. I graduated from Whitworth with a BS in Math and minors in Spanish and Computer Science, so I know what it is like to learn complex subjects. I have tutored my peers along with students younger and older than myself, as a mathematician and a Spanish speaker. I led a Spanish Live Lab for two years and informally tutored math for four. Also, I have a great deal of grammatical knowledge from writing research papers in math and computer science and Spanish.

Each student has different ways to learn. Some students require a more visual approach while ohers prefer repetion through listening and writing. I try to find the best way to help students learn and retain information. I believe that with the right help, every student has the potential to achieve academic success. I have an extensive experience in the field of tutoring. For the past eight years, I have work with students from age kindergarten to highschool. From one-on-one tutoring, small groups, to helping a class of more than 60 students. Therefore, I can recognize each student's ability and devised a studying plan to help them improve their weaknesses. With a Bachelor degree in Biology and Chemistry, I have a strong background in science and mathematics. Furthermore, I have taken many courses in Writing, English, and grammar.

My teaching philosophy is to combine clear objectives and relevant content with a playful approach that encourages interest, exploration and successful learning. For focused tutoring or one-on-one help, I like to use and work through examples. I also like to ask general questions and questions *almost* like those that are assigned. For example: Where do you think this type of chemistry is important? Considering this problem in your book, what happens to the system if this quantity if doubled? The intent is to go beyond rote memorization and try to get students engaged. In graduate school, my teaching work included leading discussion and lab sections in organic and general chemistry. Duties included preparing and delivering presentations, review of class concepts and homework problems, and office hour help sessions to ensure student understanding and success passing tests.

I have got my PhD degree (Chemistry) from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India, which is one of the best institutes across the globe. During my MS program I had extensive courses in all branches of Chemistry and had Math and Physics as subsidiaries in the BS program. Qualified many competitive exams, GRE,TOEFL, PRAXIS etc.Had five years of experience in teaching undergraduate students. Have very good writting and lecture skills. Had helped many students during school and college days, who needed special assistance in Science and Math. Each child is a unique individual who needs a stimulating, secure, and, caring atmosphere to grow and mature.The enthusiasm of a motivated teacher energize the students. I encourage independent thinking and analytical reasoning to augment their problem solving skills, thus encouraging them to not just memorize. My first academic teaching experience

I have a PhD in Zoology from The Ohio State University and over the past 25 years I have taught at Columbus Technical Institute and Portland State University. I have taught courses in General Biology, Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, Ecology and a graduate course in Limnology. At Portland State I was also involved in a research program to improve student outcomes. This project attempted to improve student's experiences in a cost effective manner, establish an infrastructure that helps implement technology, and evaluate the effectiveness of educational technology on student learning. I enjoy teaching. There is something about the educational process, transfer of knowledge to students, that I have always found satisfying. It has been my experience that learning is an active process rather than a passive one. Thus I have seldom “taught” students anything. Rather I have enabled the

A major drawback in current teaching methods at schools and institutions is the absence of efforts to educate students, why they should learn things they are being taught. I try to understand the students need level of interest and proficiency prior to designing multimedia and multi methodology course or delivery methods filled with real world application and references to fill the students need. My classes and presentations are interactive, fact filled and simplistic in nature with stress on reasoning rather than accumulation of facts and information. I am looking to utilize my creative teaching methods, vast experience and innovative techniques to change a student’s perspective about what they are learning and why they have to learn. After pursuing PhD at Dartmouth College, I have acquired years of process engineering and management experience at Intel Corporation and Biotronik Inc.

Currently, I am a part time chemistry instructor at Clark college and Portland Community College. During the past seven years, I have tutored chemistry to a diversified students ranging from high school chemistry to pre-med students. I recently obtained my MS degree in chemistry. Most of my students succeed in chemistry. I love teaching chemistry. I have a unique way of teaching chemistry by explaining the basic concepts of chemistry. My first step is to make the student get fascinated in chemistry. I make students to do lot of problems. I strive to make a difference in all my students opinion about chemistry-it is a difficult topic. After few classes, most of my student think that chemistry is an easy fascinating subject.

I changed from being a registered pharmacist to teaching because I so enjoy seeing students learn, especially when they "get it". I had to be especially aware that online students require a different learning paradigm than on-campus F2F students. I would give as much time as needed to an interested student. Teaching online also involved ESL students, which required cross-cultural awareness.

I enjoy helping children, young adults, and older people too, understand chemistry and science. I like coming up with new approaches to assist in grasping complex concepts and breaking these concepts down to easier ways to look at them. My approach is to allow the student to explain area where they are having trouble or need help. This gives me an idea of their understanding of the specific area. My approach is "relaxed with enthusiasm" to show how exciting science can be and how it relates to everything around us! I have tutored several high school and a couple of college students in first year chemistry. These include the typical areas of chemistry such as: electronic structure of atoms, the periodic table and properties of the elements, chemical bonding, nature of liquids, solids, gases, phase changes, stoichiometry, acid/base reactions, kinetics, metals and non-metals, complex and co
