Organic Chemistry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in San Manuel, AZ

I really like to tailor my style to each student. I also believe that when it comes to math, students often need as much help getting over their fear of math as they do with the actual concepts. I have had good experience designing science experiments and hands-on projects to help demonstrate science concepts and bring these concepts to life. I was fortunate enough to have excellent role models and caring teachers throughout my childhood and would like to pass on the attention that was shown to me. I have earned a bachelor's degree from one of the most well regarded institutions in the world and I have a solid math and science background. For two summers while an undergrad, I taught an engineering course to high school juniors participating in the YESS (Young Engineers and Science Scholars) program. I also tutored a junior high school boy for two years in all subjects. I've tutored clas

I graduated with a BS in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. During my college experience at the University of Arizona, I have participated in two programs that allowed me to teach a wide variety of students of different backgrounds and different ages. I have worked with children as young as four years to 16 years of age. I taught Science-based lessons (Entomology and Marine Discovery). Also,I have tutored high school students in English and different levels of Math. Furthermore, I have an interest in English and literature as well: I have been on a Publications staff for about three years, and was also the youngest editor of the school for about two years. I am eager to help students of all ages and backgrounds. I have had experience teaching that is inquiry-based but have also taught in a more factual style with lecture. I believe that each student has a different style of learning, and

I have performed tutorial sessions on arithmetic subjects like algebra, geometry, and calculus. Also, I am familiar with the physical and life sciences like general biology, microbiology, genetics, general chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. I make tutoring fun and "doable" even for the hardest of classes, according to my students. I have tutored several students who have struggled through anxiety regarding the harder subjects of the math and sciences but successfully received the grade they set as goals in the end. I firmly believe that a good tutorial happens when the student is able to perform efficiently on his own without any further guidance. I have always been interested in helping students like me who struggle in the math and science courses. As such, I have started tutoring during my high school days and armed with several years of experience, I intend to help more an

From USDA-ARS July 2006 to September 2008, at the United States Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Research Service, I performed research on crop pollination that led to several peer-reviewed publications and US patent pending for integrated pest management. One of the manuscripts has been among the top ten most cited publications for 2010 among the American Chemical Society publications. Manuscripts are available upon request. I have much more experience and the information is available upon request. During the Spring of 2010, I taught Freshman chemistry at Pima Community College. I held after class work sessions at a volunteer basis that was at a time convenient to the majority of the class. I taught Organic Chemistry (Chem 236) at Pima CC. I had students go to the blackboard and work out and illustrate selected problems, as a review after tests. Other teaching

As a graduate student at the University of Chicago, I was responsible for leading introductory core Biology labs, which covered an array of concepts in biology, statistics, computer usage, and experimental design. Because lab reports were frequent requirements, I also was able to improve skills as a writing tutor I had already developed as a writing tutor (paid student position) in the Writing Lab at Towson University. I also have taught a remedial study- and life-skills course for students on Academic Probation at the University of Arizona. Finally, in my capacity as Academic Advising Coordinator at the University of Arizona, I interacted in a one-on-one capacity with students to develop their intellectual, academic, and career interests. An understanding of the student and his/her background, strengths and weaknesses, and motivation is key to successful learning. This student-centered

I have a BA in Psychology, MS in Zoology and BS in Computer Science. I have lifetime Arizona Community College certification in psychology, biology, ecology and remedial math. My experience with special populations includes: three years full-time on the Navajo Reservation; three years part-time at the SALT Center at the University of Arizona working with learning disabled students; and a hands-on nature camp for deaf middle-schoolers. My favorite experience has been the opportunity to design the curriculum, code the programs, and teach the student counselors for the U of A's Computer Science week-long summer enrichment program for teens. My forte is science and math, which are often students' least favorite subjects, due to earlier difficulty. A solid basic understanding of these subjects is critical to being an independent, engaged adult; and it's just plain cool to understand how th

I always make my teaching very easy and simple for special needs students to follow. I have taught students in classrooms and understand that all students can never be the same in terms of understanding. Thus, I usually use material facts and make a story line for student to understand a concept. . Education is the ultimate goal for everychild in our time to meet up in a developing and civilized society, so I am available and willing to assist you in the right track of meeting your educational needs and goals. As a graduate student studying biology at the New Mexico Highlands University (NMHU), I was a teaching assistant (TA) assisting in preparing and conducting laboratory experiments in biology with undergraduate students at NMHU. I prepare laboratory research outlines before sessions and grade laboratory reports. I also have a one-to-one teaching experience, teaching students math, ch

I'm a very enthusiastic teacher. I believe that a student can only learn what they're interested in learning. For this reason, I find that getting the student to be interested in the subject at hand is crucial. Lessons should be fun and engaging. There are different approaches and applications on any given subject and finding the right one for each student allows for personal tailoring of a lesson. Engaging the student in interactive activities allows the student and the teacher to continuously assess their progress. When a student is able to practice the material immediately and is given their instructor's reassurance it allows the student to walk away with confidence and the desire to build on what they've learned. I'm a very passionate chemist who has experienced various real-world applications of chemistry hands on. My diverse experience on the subject would enable me to share

After many years as a Wyoming rancher and three years as an ESL volunteer, I returned to school to become an ESL professional. With my Master of Education degree in hand, I taught a year of ESL classes at Cochise College, then became the Adult ESL Coordinator for Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming. My career path led other directions for several years, then I had the opportunity to return to education as a secondary science teacher in two charter schools. My years as educator have been the most interesting and compelling of my career, and now semi-retired, I'd like to continue part-time. Every student can learn with motivation. Most of my classes were self-paced, and I had great success in motivating students of all types. My most recent position was teaching science to at-risk high school students who averaged 4th grade levels in reading and math. Every participating student earned cr

I find that the most rewarding aspect of teaching is the time spent interacting and engaging with the students. I want to learn what areas were most challenging to the students and then focus on those areas, utilizing different teaching tools to meet each student's need and most comfortable style of learning. I also believe in continued development of their strengths with constant refreshment of what they understood. I will foster an environment in which the student(s) feel comfortable asking questions. I am eager to provide a great opportunity for students to set goals and work to achieve them. I am a junior at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio Texas, but return home to Tucson, AZ for the summers. I am working towards my Bachelor of Science in Biology and I am currently applying to medical school. Through my strong academics and excellent organization skills, I was chosen to tutor t
