Chemistry is one of my top subjects! PhD in Chemistry

My education, work and volunteer experience, I believe, make me a qualified, reliable educator. I have a PhD in chemistry and an additional five years research and teaching experience within Universities in Upstate NY. In addition, over the past thirteen years of my career, I have taught groups, and tutored individually, a variety of different levels of science and chemistry education, ranging from high school science to the highest degree level chemistry, masters degree and PhD students. My drive for science education stems from my enthusiasm for science. I love challenging many students’ expectations that science is a difficult and “boring” subject by coming up with new ideas to help make it accessible, relevant and exciting. I also strongly believe in nurturing curiosity and helping children, to learn from engaging in independent thinking. My philosophy of learning is a trans ... read more

My comments on tutoring Chemistry : I have a full understanding of basic chemistry; I prefer to stay away from organic chemistry.

Everyone absorbs knowledge differently so it is important to cater to each student's particular needs. I am a very hands-on learner and I feel that is the best way to be taught, especially outside of a classroom setting. By getting the body involved in the learning process, the mind is kept stimulated.
I have helped tutor since I was a freshman in high school. I began working with kindergarteners through third grade students on reading and writing. Throughout my sophomore year of high school I tutored middle school math students (ages 11-14) and helped to train our "Mathalon" team. My junior and senior years of high school I mostly helped biology students prepare for the regents exams, as well as continued in the after school reading program for kindergarteners and preschoolers. In college I began tutoring many students for the spanish regents exam and continued helping others prep ... read more

I know how to help students learn mathematics.

Math teacher with science and English background and 13 years experience middle school, high school, and some college tutoring/teaching. I most recently taught pre-algebra and geometry and have taught algebra many times. I tutored through college at all levels. I like using simpler examples to introduce concepts and then help students build a strong understanding of harder skills.
I have lots of middle school experience and can use hand's-on conceptual models or straight forward drill work to help students understand. I am committed to working through concepts until my students get it.

A Little Bit About Me...

I would be happy to assist students with any courses necessary, as I am confident I can help them learn. I possess strong interpersonal skills which would allow the student to feel very comfortable learning with me. I would like to make the learning experience as fun as possible by using worksheets, visual aids, and any other activities that would assist in the student learning their material.
As an undergraduate, I spent nearly three years assisting groups of students with how to learn content for the historically difficult courses of College Chemistry I and II. I have my BS in Nuclear Medicine Technology, which permitted me to learn and acquire a great understanding in multiple areas. These areas include biology, anatomy, physiology, chemistry, algebra, statistics, and beginning and intermediate levels of Spanish . In February 2011, I will be finished my MBA in Healthcare Managem ... read more

My teaching style is sensitive, enthusiastic, and patient. In both tutoring and non-tutoring settings I believe it is imperative that students feel comfortable. It is always my goal that students feel able to volunteer when they do not know or understand something, and to ask questions whenever they need to. In addition I understand that all students learn differently and I enjoy discovering and providing different styles for my students. One of the most rewarding things for me on a personal level is to assist youngsters or students in achieving goals they may have previously perceived as impossible. I feel this way at all levels, whether I am assisting dedicated students or students that are searching for their inspiration.
For the past five years I have provided personal tutoring to both the Ithaca Community and the Ithaca College Community. I have also spent the past three ... read more

I love teaching. Tutoring has been my favorite job so far, and although I was unable to continue working with Tutor.com due to time restrictions, I now am free to work with students and would like to tutor again. I am extremely patient with students, and my solid understanding of subject matter allows me to think of multiple ways in which I can help a student through a problem. Many people describe engineers as socially backwards, but I am extremely well-spoken and am great at communicating my ideas. I am a firm believer that anybody can grasp any concept they want as long as they are given time and guidance to reach their own understanding.
I have a tremendous amount of experience in many math and science classes. I have graduated from Cornell with As and high Bs in all of my general requirement math and science classes, including AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Physics 1,2, AP Calcu ... read more

I really enjoy working with all people, I understand that everyone has a learning style, but above all you have to work hard to get to the next level. I am patient, thoughtful and willing to offer my support. I think it's important to summarize the important parts of the subject and then have the student remember them and focus on how to manipulate those parts into useful problem solving skills. I know I can make a great instructor for you.
As a Cornell graduate of Biomedical Engineering, I was able to learn about a variety of subjects and gain a better understanding of multiple types of math and science. As an instructor for the Cornell ballroom dance team, I have taught classes for two years in addition to my tutoring in math and science for another two years. I have written up multiple laboratory reports and research papers as well as a final Master's project. My students ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I recently obtained a Bachelors of Science in Biological and Environmental Engineering from Cornell University. As an engineer I have very strong analytical and problem solving skills. However, I also have very strong writing and grammatical skills which I have utilized not only in technical papers and reports, but also in various liberal studies courses I took throughout my undergraduate career.I have experience tutoring middle and high school aged students in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. As well as experience with college aged students in technical courses such Sustainable Development and Engineering Math.
I enjoy working with students individually, because it really is true that no two students learn in exactly the same way. I like to first see what my students know and then take corrective steps after establishing a base. I am patient and attempt ... read more

During my undergraduate career I discovered my passion for teaching. I also discovered that being an educator in the sciences is particularly tricky because it deals with some of the most abstract information with seemingly little real world application. Most people struggle with the sciences and, in their frustration, often give up. My philosophy for teaching has always been to do whatever it takes to keep my students interested and engaged. This usually involves a lot of class participation as well as being creative with my lessons. People learn in a multitude of ways and I am always trying new methods of teaching in order to get through to my students.
Throughout my education I've had a drive to teach. While earning my BS in chemistry with minor in biology I assisted many fellow students by acting as both a laboratory assistant and as a tutor in general chemistry and organic che ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Graduating Binghamton University with a BA in Chemistry, I have been honored as Cum Laude, McNair Scholar, Harpur Dean's List and more. I have assisted many professors as a teacher. I am currently a Youth Ministry Teacher in the Korean Church of Binghamton, where group of teachers have established and facilitate positive relationships with students and parents in means of holding regular meetings and engaging in fellowships. In the summer of 2008, I have assisted Dr. LoTempio in improving the knowledge of students in Organic Chemistry by clarifying perplexing concepts during office hours. My other teaching experiences include in subjects such as Cell Biology, Sports Medicine, and Physics.
Personally, it takes me time to process all the information and to make the subject my own by applying the new information to my previous knowledge. That is why I believe in repetition as a learni ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Effective teaching comes by teaching the student to learn how to learn. All people are generally intelligent, but in different aspects of intelligence. All people can learn, but at varying speeds. Learning how to learn is increasing the speed of learning in those aspects of intelligence in which one is inept. Chemistry is a very abstract science, and many people find it confusing. Chemistry requires all the faculties of teaching, like 3D visual aids, memory tricks, and most importantly, analogies. I often consider chemistry a science of analogies. Concepts in chemistry are also like bricks to the over all edifice of its understanding. Often times students don't understand one concept because they don't thoroughly understand another. My teaching style varies from individual to individual because everybody learns differently. Sometimes just re-phrasing the same concept differentl ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I've always highly valued education. As a former teacher, my quest to achieve high levels of excellence in education continued. For the past nine years, I've taught several levels of science courses. I have a Master of Science in Education and I am certified to teach Biology, Chemistry and general science. With this experience, along with all the science and math courses taken to earn a BS in Biology prior to teaching, I have gained much understanding in many areas of math and science. Over the years, I've taught or tutored students in mathematics and sciences.
I love teaching and working with all age groups. I am patient and easy going. I believe all children can learn, but each does so differently. My goal is to find the best way for each individual. This often entails different approaches at times. I provide mainly a constructivist and sometimes "expert" (focus on fact ... read more

More About This Tutor...

During high school, I tutored for the Upward Bound program. I tutored fellow high school students in math, science, english, and history. I taught biology undergraduate laboratories during graduate school. My background is math and science. I have experience preparing exams/quizzes and grading exams, quizzes, and research papers. My math courses (taken, not taught) include Algebra, Calculus I, and Statistics (elementary and linear). My biology courses (taken and taught) include Morphology, Evolutionary Biology/Genetics, and Microbiology.
I am a visual learner, and so my first approach to teaching is using visual aids. I usually draw, use diagrams, or try to paint a mental picture for my students of what I'm trying to teach them. I am excellent at explaining complex terms so any layperson can understand them. I have only worked with teenage/young 20s people, so have less experien ... read more
