I use the heuristic style - teach a little; now you try it! The student learns best what they learn from within. At my English boarding school, that is the way we were taught, and it worked. Also, I show them different study methods to see what works for them. I have read widely on psychology. Early on, I assess a student's best learning mode - visual, aural, spatial, numerical, verbal, etc., and play to it. While being active in drama I learned how to 'read' the hearers and viewers. Many of my former students are teachers. Sometimes they recommend students to me when their students pass beyond the teacher's comfort zone. Occasionally student's stop seeing me, and months or years later I hear things like: 'Guess what, I made 100% on the final.'; 'I was the only grad. school entrant who passed the exemption test for Physical Chemistry'; 'I made the Headmaster's list for th

As a chemistry graduate student, I have held the following roles: Senior Teaching Assistant for Undergraduate Organic Chemistry Labs, Teaching Assistant for Organic Chemistry Major's Labs, Teaching Assistant for Organic Chemistry I and II. I have extensive experience in tutoring; however I specialize in organic chemistry due to my background and teaching style. I have tutored individually, in groups, and even whole classrooms. I have substituted as a teacher for organic chemistry professors. I have excellent communication with my students and I have only had one student receive a grade lower than a C in organic chemistry while I've tutored them. My teaching philosophy centers on individual learning. The first priority is to determine what method is best for getting an individual to process information. The second step is then to breakdown the material and removing the myth that a traditi

I do enjoy helping students with their problems. I have a technique of visualization. for example, which is the first example I use. I tell the student to think of a tree. in the seconds you think of a tree, you don't think of just the tree. you think of the roots, the trunk, the limbs, the branches, the leaves. then you think of whats going on in the tree, right down to the point of the tree taking in carbon dioxide and giving off oxygen and water. Why is the tree giving off water. most people do not know that the tree is making water because it is attaching hydrogen to the oxygen to get rid of the hydrogen, acid. I can apply this same visualization to almost anything. Hey there. I am a medical school drop out. I have my bachelors in biology, with minors in botany, chemistry and economics.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry and minor in Biology. During my years in college I helped out my my classmates in understanding certain subject areas. I have also tutored younger age. I tutored students in many subjects such as English, Math, Science, Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. I love to work with students and see their accomplishment. I do speak Arabic, so i can work with and understand Bilingual students very well. I like to get to know the weaknesses of each of my students to get a common ground with them first. Then i try to break down the subject as simple as i can. I like to work with all ages. I know that all students are bright and different in some kind of way; therefore, to me I think all students can learn. I really care about each of my students. I make sure that each of my student have a great experience with me and have g

My description of teaching involves directly explaining the material to the student and then have the student to teach me the subject or concept that was just learned. This insures that the student fully understands the concept, thus the concept can be applied to problem solving. In addition, I like to actually sit down with the student and go over the assigned or completed work to make sure that the student is understanding and applying the material correctly. As a Magna Cum Laude graduate from Claflin University, I have just completed a bachelor's degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. I have experience with tutoring my peers in mathematics, biology, and chemistry. In addition, I have served as an English tutor for two years at the Claflin University Writing Center.

I am very patient and willing to work with anybody. I hope to not only tutor the subject, but to also show proper study habits and help with other problems the student may have with their education. When kids are in control of what is happening at school their self-confidence and attitude soar. My teaching style combines excellent academic standards with strategies that are motivational and help students to truly understand their subjects. As a pre-medical student at a top university in America I have taken advantage of numerous opportunities available to me. I am majoring in Neuroscience and double minoring in Psychology and Philosophy. This has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. I have learned extensive science skills due to taking pre-medical courses, and writing research papers and laboratory reports. When I took Organic Chemistry I, my average was

I am currently a high school science teacher, and I have experience teaching biology, chemistry, environmental science, and forensic science. While in college, I tutored many students in history to help with expenses. I also helped my fellow students with chemistry and biology. While working on my masters of science, I had to spend my last year on research. I was able to present this research at the 2009 cytopathology conference in Florida. I like to stay up-to-date in my field. This year I was able to attend the National Science Teacher Association Conference in Philadelphia, PA. I have a passion for science and learning. I love to take my passion and pass it on to my children. My method of teaching is to take difficult concepts and break them down into something that is understandable. I will not quit until I feel that the children have a good grasp of the material. I know

I love children of all ages. I believe that every child can learn and excel in school. Unfortunatley, all children learn differently and schools do not adapt well. I will adapt to the learning techniques that best fit the student. My only goal is to meet the goals the students have and to teach them as much as I possibly can. As a recent graduate of Clemson University, I am very familiar with school and the tools necessary to learn and excel. I graduated with a B.S. in Biological Sciences. This degree has given me extensive knowledge of chemistry, physics, and biology. I also have extensive knowledge of writing research papers, lab reports, and essays. As a tutor, I will be able to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to excel academically.

I use a combined demonstration and discussion style for lecture and introduction of topics to be studied. Labs are a demonstration followed by a monitored hands-on work experience. I integrate reading and computational skills into my subject matter and use contemporary internet sources to supplement all content items. Practice assignments are designed as reinforcers for the most important skills and topics of the lesson. Homework is for quality, not for quantity. Testing is always followed by analysis and reinforced correctives. Good tests become learning tools. Upon receiving my BA, I began a 26-year journey in high school and college education. My primary teaching duties were in biology, chemistry, and earth sciences. I was appointed department chair for three schools and served as district coordinator for sciences at one of those schools. I have worked to develop science curric

I am a recent graduate of Alabama State University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. Graduating magna cum laude at the top of my class with a 3.65/4.0 grade point average, I was always sought after for help in those tough curriculum classes like physics, chemistry, genetics and molecular biology. In the spring of 2006 I began formally tutoring general and organic chemistry to college juniors and seniors for the physical science/chemistry professor at my university. In the summer of 2006 I picked up another work study job tutoring college juniors and seniors in Physics. I continued both of these jobs until my graduation in May of 2007. I also voluntarily and independently tutored younger, grade-school aged, children in a host of subjects. I have a very strong understanding of math and writing as well. As an educator, I strive to improve the

Teaching has become part of a daily process in my life. I believe that any average student with a good and experienced teacher can equally perform as much as the best student in any field. My patience, advanced education and wealth of experience in teaching chemistry have helped me to put joy in the smiles of many students over the years. My goal in teaching any students is to see them with flying colors after the tutoring/teaching because that's when I am happy too. I have had two National Institute of Health fellowships in the past three years at the Medical University of South Carolina and Washington State University. I have also published research articles in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Journal of Natural Products and Tetrahedron letters and two more in the publication process. I do have a PhD in organic chemistry from the University of Iowa in 2005 and a First Class BSc degr

I love working with children. I especially love teaching them about science and mathematics because I find these subjects so interesting. There are few things more rewarding then seeing it all "click." I like to use diagrams and real life situations to explain subjects. Breaking things down into laymen's terms and reducing intimidation by putting things simply helps most students to grasp difficult topics. I'm a pretty good artist and like drawing diagrams. I also have acquired numerous study aides during my years in college. Most of all, I feel it is important to teach kids HOW to study and not just WHAT to study. As a recent CofC graduate attaining my Bachelors of Science degree in Biology, I have a vast knowledge of Biology and Chemistry courses. I also attained minors in Chemistry and Psychology. In high school I completed Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Biology, English,

I recently graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Chemistry Minor. During my junior and senior college years, I worked as a Undergraduate Teaching Intern for several undergraduate biology courses. My responsibilities involved leading discussions, holding office hours for individual tutoring, and preparing and grading exams. I also tutored organic chemistry and calculus informally and for no pay thoughout my undergraduate studies. I have experience in chemistry subjects as well and received a minor in chemistry from Indiana University. I also have taken multiple math classes, including Calculus I and II, statistics, and Calculus based Physics I and II. Although I have taught at the college level for the most part, I feel comfortable tutoring younger students and feel that my teaching style can be adjusted so it is applicable to all students
