Chemical Engineering Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Rhinebeck, NY

My goal is to help your child achieve success. I explain real-life applications of the subject (i.e., metric system--repair of foreign cars.) I encourage questions and dialogue. I use praise when warranted but am firm on deadlines and honesty. Aware of attention span, I take appropriate breaks or switch to another subject. I remind him to read and follow directions and to check his work over before he hands it in. I believe that in this fast-paced technical age your child needs the best chance possible to compete successfully. I have found that even with one exposure, a good educator can have a huge positive impact upon a student's confidence and comprehension. It is very gratifying to both student and teacher when this occurs. I have had a successful career as a medical scientist in hospital, government, and reference laboratories in the northeast and southern U.S., holding bench,

As a PhD in Chemical Engineering, I have a strong background in Math and Chemistry courses and am well qualified to teach high school and college chemistry and math courses. I taught math and chemistry courses in the college level, conceptualizing and designing courses in General Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Algebra, and Geometry for undergraduate students in science and engineering field, both lecture and laboratory courses. My major objectives for student learning include: 1) to effectively impart knowledge and principles based on student background, 2) to encourage and practice critical and independent thinking, and 3) to develop effective measures to determine what the student learned. Based on my teaching experience, I would simplify complex topics through basic examples, graphic illustrations, and analogies. I would be flexible and open to the use of new technological methods

My BS and MS in Chemical Engineering degrees have given me an in-depth knowledge of concepts in math. During 13 years in the pharma industry, I used my skills to succeed and earn awards, honors and patents. After 12 years as a mentor and volunteer, I changed my career because I really enjoyed working with young people. I decided to change my career through a MAT program which included a student teaching experience. I taught math to a mixed ability class using a constructionist philosophy where students discover and explore topics in math rather than having the topics dictated to them. I believe my experiences in student teaching as well as my educational background and work experience combine to make me a great teacher. My philosophy of education is that everyone can learn and that it is my duty and passion to help them. Every person and every child has within them a unique colle

I teach the way I counsel--by expecting self-responsibility. I use humor to enhance one's motivation to seek out and focus on one's strengths. I am not a coddler--I believe that higher expectations result in higher performance. When coupled with empathy, faith in the individual and strong foundations of skills, success is inevitable. I have been supervising other counselors since 1997 in their report-writing. I take pride in my writing skills in the face of a field riddled with nurses who prefer abbreviations to beautifully executed coherent sentences. The sheer eloquence of being able to deliver a report allowing the reader to infer the true meaning of your words, while not providing any statements that will give fuel to a legal representative is a time-earned skill. In addition to my writing skills, I have 14 years of business skills, extensive analytical skills, which transfe
