I started off college at Mohawk Valley Community College and earned a Liberal Arts and Science degree. I feel that all college students should be well rounded and should take a wide variety of courses. I then enrolled at Utica College to finish my BS degree. Over those two years, I took 18 science courses and most of them were accompanied by labs. It was stressful and difficult but it was something I was determined to complete. I thought I wanted to go to medical school, but later decided against it. Also during my time at Utica College, I conducted medical research with Aspartame and Omeprazole on mice. I spent some time writing these up to be submitted for journals. The instructor and I are on a hiatus from this project. I completed an internship with the Masonic Medical Research lab in the summer of 2006. I worked in the Molecular Genetics Lab. In the summer of 2008, I began working w

I love to help a student work their way through any difficulty they are having in any of the major subjects. It is always a challenge to direct the students learning and not do the work for them. But it is a good challenge! While I was a supervisor in the ACE based Christian school, I helped many of the students in the school to understand the areas, especially of math and science, where they had difficulty. Most recently I had the challenge of tutoring my wife, who is working on her Bachelors in Healthcare Management, through Business Math and Business Algebra. Again I state that it can prove to be a great challenge, to let her do the work, and not me. Between the years of 1978 and 1984 I was a monitor and then a supervisor in a small Christian school using the ACE curriculum. They have various programmed learning booklets teaching all of the major subjects. You are actually more of a

Learning and teaching is my passion. In high school it ws teachers with the same passion that made learning fun and encouraged me to achieve academic success. Most any subject can be made interesting if approached the right way. Mostly it is about patience and good respectful communication. I especially cherish working with young children who are usually starving for real knowlege, but are lacking the opportunity to engage their minds in a meaningful way. I have found that with kids, you get back in effort what you put in. In college, I in part supported myself by tutoring in math and organic chemistry. I have earned a BS in Biology and a Doctorate in Medicine (but I am retired from clinical practice). My education has given me expertise in the areas of biology, chemistry, math and anatomy. I have supplemented this knowlege with self study in grammar and creative writing. I have won writ

I utilize the experience I have in working with a wide variety of people to develop a relaxed, positive teaching style. I utilize a keep it simple method of teaching that is direct. It is designed to allow the student to build from memorization up to problem solving based on the principles, objectives and goals of the subject matter. I focus on developing the student's ability to utilize available resources, make decisions, and to act. This approach takes patience and organization to prepare, present and evaluate both the material and the student's progress. I have practiced this approach for over 30 years. I enjoy teaching because it keeps me on my toes and the rewards are clearly visible. I have been teaching in a variety of settings since 1979. In addition to teaching I held positions training, developing and mentoring of instructors. I also developed and coordinated training prog

I love teaching, which is my career goal. For years, I was educated, helped, and encouraged by my teachers and professors all the time. I always believe it is important and meaningful to transfer the knowledge along with love and encouragement to those students like who I was yesterday. A good educator can make a difference in a child’s life. I am lucky I met a few in my life as a student, and I’ll try my best to be the one to make a difference for my students. I have strong background on Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. I have been in the chemistry-related field for a long time, either from my working experience or my education path (undergrad to PhD). I used to be a teaching assistant during the time I pursued a PhD. degree at Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI. As a postdoc associate at Syracuse University, I occasionally substitute taught the classes for my adviso

I love helping people learn chemistry. Chemistry is a subject that seems very hard because it is a dicipline. As a tutor I will help students to develop adequate study skills. I will go over several problems with them to make sure they understand the material well enough to solve problems independently. While an undergraduate at a community college I earned three associates degrees, AS in Biology, AS in Chemistry, and an AS in Public Policy. I continued my undergraduate work at Utica College of Syracuse University and I earned a BS in Chemistry. I tutored on an off throughout my two and a half years at community college in subject areas such as chemistry, math, biology, economics and sociology.

I have always loved helping people, especially in the way of education. I believe that everyone learns differently, and therefore strive for diversity in teaching. I will exhaust all possible strategies, incorporating meaning and practice with all dimensions of learning to bring not only an undertanding of content, but an appreciation and means of applying newly gained knowledge in real world situations. Having completed my B.A. in Mathematics, with a minor in adolescent education, a Computer Science degree, and graduating with a 3.65 GPA, and a 4.0 in content has fueled my success. Combining that with presently finishing my Masters in Teaching with Technology, three years of teaching mathematics and 5 years of tutoring experience, in which I tutored several subjects I feel that I have a lot to add to the success of students. To go along with my education, I have completed several scienc

I would like to let it be known that I would be in my senior year in college and do not yet possess a bachelor's degree. I have two younger brothers in middle school who I have been helping with math and science homework for the past few years. Before I begin to teach I like to attempt to understand how much the student comprehends about the particular subject. I prefer to teach globally and with examples. I would rather the student understand what is going on rather than memorizing a step by step approach. I also have found it beneficial to implement a reward system.

I love teaching young people (including my own children who are 5, 11 and 13 years of age!). I am patient and supportive, and like to make the learning process fun. I believe young people can reach their full potential with the right guidance. I personally hope to make a big difference to the lives of my students. My education was in the UK at Oxford University where I received a BA in chemistry, followed by a PhD in biochemistry. I then taught at Exeter University as university demonstrator, and was a tutor in organic chemistry for mature students at the Open University. I moved to South Africa, where I was a lecturer in organic chemistry at the University of Cape Town. I finally moved to the USA and worked at Bristol-Myers Squibb, in Syracuse, as a scientist. Most recently I worked at SUNY-ESF as a post-doctoral assistant. I bring to teaching a broad background in science, and

I have always enjoyed teaching people in a one-on-one or small group environment. It allows me to tailor my teaching style to fit the individual student or group I’m working with. I enjoy using creative methods to teach a topic, including creating multiple ways to explain a term or concept and providing analogies to concepts that are familiar to the student. All people comprehend concepts in different ways and at varying speeds. Thus as I teach a concept I am constantly looking for signs of understanding, and then stop and reinforce a concept when it is apparent that the student does not understand. Teaching is a very fluid process, one that requires acute understanding of the challenges students face when learning, and an active process that requires energy and intelligence on the part of the teacher, qualities I believe I possess. I was fortunate to be able to enter college full-t

My educational experiences center heavily on the sciences. I have a B.A. in chemistry and biology, as well as an M.S. in organic chemistry. These degrees have given me a strong foundation in basic chemical and biological knowledge, as well as more advanced knowledge in both of these fields. More importantly, in pursuing these degrees I have developed the ability to think analytically. I also have an MA in the history and philosophy of science. In completing this degree, I have developed critical thinking skills, as well as skills essential to writing a good essay. I have six years of graduate study under my belt, five of which involved teaching classes and tutoring students in both group sessions and individual instruction. My goals for my students encompass more than simply answering questions and completing homework assignments. Although these activities are integral to teaching, what

I enjoy teaching/tutoring high school students and adults in need of support to prepare for college. I am an excellent educator and am able to adopt my teaching style based on the need of the student. If a student needs a hands on or a visual approach then I am able to adjust. I have been a teacher for the past 20 years and have learned the best quality is compassion. As part of that compassion, a teacher must listen to each student to determine need and develop an approach of instruction according to the need. Typically I like to give a multiple intelligence survey that helps me figure out how each student thinks. This will help me to use the best teaching techniques to allow the student the greatest chance of success. I have strong High School Math knowledge and have taught Math/Science for the past seven years. As a resource room instructor I had to be well versed in all sciences and
