Award-Winning Organic Chemistry Tutors serving St. Louis, MO

...as prepare for standardized tests. Being tutored and tutoring has always been a large part of my academic career and I have found it is often an integral part of truly mastering a topic. My tutoring approach takes a hands-on style that lets students work through problems with assistance first, and then on their own. This style allows the student to become confident in his/her knowledge of the material and face new problems with that...

...weekly tutor, and through the athletic department. Specifically with my Division I cross-country team, I noticed that membership in our program did not require a community service component. I believe it is important to serve other people as an organization, so I helped to reinitiate a tutoring program between our team and a local nearby elementary school. In this program, athletes from our team go to the school for an hour a week to offer...

...chemistry. After college, I worked in a laboratory for 2 years at the National Institute of Health. During my time in Washington DC, I also worked for Kaplan to prepare students for the MCAT.

...currently in the medical school application process and science major, I can tutor in a variety of premed college courses, high school AP and regular science courses, SAT test prep, and MCAT sections. One of my favorite subjects to tutor in is Chemistry as I have taken many courses in the subject and really enjoy it. When tutoring, I like to emphasize understanding of key concepts through practical applications and I like to converse with...

...the MCAT. My favorite subject to tutor is organic chemistry because I find it fun like a puzzle. As a tutor, I like to push students outside of their comfort zone and give them challenging practice problems to try, providing aid along the way but otherwise allowing the student to lead the session. I worked as a supplemental instructor (group tutor) in organic chemistry at SLU for 2 years and helped facilitate the chemistry labs...

...classes. Additionally, I tutored at Loyola Academy, a middle school for boys from inner St. Louis City, in eighth grade mathematics. I most enjoy tutoring the sciences, especially Biology and Chemistry. I like to employ question and answer style tutoring, to review concepts and my students' understanding of the content. I enjoy learning and working through problems, and hope to pass the same passion onto my students. In my spare time, I love to run,...

...big part of my life and I played all through college. As one of the few science majors on the team I frequently spent time helping my teammates with general chemistry, math (algebra and calculus), and organic chemistry. I currently work as a research technician for a small biotec company doing cloning, enzyme work, instrument building, and field work. In my free time I still play rugby and also enjoy spending time with my dogs and...

...summer in rural Guatemala holding workshops to help teachers maximize their teaching strategies. While teaching, I coached the Science Olympiad team and loved giving students the opportunity to extend their knowledge of a science subject they were specifically interested in. Even more fun was watching them compete in those subjects! Out of all the sciences, I am most passionate about AP biology, though I am excited to help anyone learn on any level. I am...

...Once I went to Southern Illinois University, I worked there as a Supplemental Instructor for Chemistry. While in that position, I learned to think outside of the box to help students. Some of the creative ways I have tutored include flashcard games, board races, and creating diagrams and worksheets for students who struggle to learn in a traditional setting. My next experience with students was during my graduate school work. From the first day, I...

...of arts in chemistry. I have had many years of tutoring experiencing in a broad range of subjects ranging from humanities to Stem courses. I typically enjoy tutoring in math and science courses the most. I feel that it is crucial in students' lives to have one on one academic instruction to help foster a love for a subject even though it might be challenging at first. In my free time I enjoy baking treats...

...preparation three times a week. I am passionate about helping students succeed in chemistry. My love for Organic Chemistry stems from the fact that it forces us to think in different ways we are not simply regurgitating information, rather we are solving complex puzzles using a toolbox of strategies, knowledge, and intuition to come to the most reasonable conclusion. Over the last four years, I have learned to employ study methods and learning techniques to...

...school next fall. I am available to tutor multiple types of Biology courses in addition to organic chemistry. I am also available for DAT tutoring as I did well enough on my test to warrant 6 dental school interviews for the current cycle. I personally believe I can help any student can reach his/her academic goals through effective communication and thorough preparation. In my spare time, I like to spend time with friends and family,...

...experience involves tutoring one-on-one with elementary students in Spanish. I have also served as a Teaching Assistant in Cognitive Science as an undergraduate and for a biology course in graduate school, where I led test preparation and ran a discussion section. My strengths are in the sciences, especially biology and chemistry, as well as standardized test preparation and study skills. I think my favorite subject to tutor would be biology, where I am personally most...

...my degree in Nutrition and Fitness from the University of Missouri - Columbia, I finished my contract with the Army and then spent a few years developing hands-on skills as a small scale organic farmer. To compliment my gardening and farming projects, I have also decided to pursue additional education in the medical field. I am in the process of looking for nursing programs and acquiring a second Bachelor's degree in Nursing. Currently the subjects...

...Literacy, Science and Math. I am Scientist by profession. I work with cells and microorganisms all the time. It's no surprise that I love Science and consider Education as one of the biggest blessings in my life. I left my home country India in 2004 to pursue my Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, in the USA. I was homesick all the time and it was painful to leave family and friends behind. But Science got me...

I live for the "Ah-Ha!" moment! Math, Science, and Reading don't have to be boring! Let me show you how you can learn and have FUN at the same time!

My education and work experience has been in organic chemistry and biochemistry. My volunteer work has included Science Olympiad and robotics. I have always enjoyed teaching, and helping students to get excited about science. My experiences with my own childrens' learning issues (ADD, autism) have made me look into better ways to present material for different learning styles.

...ACT, and SAT mathematics and science sections. Personally, I enjoy tutoring Chemistry and Mathematics the most because of complexities involved with these subjects. I believe that tutoring is about the individual. Respecting an individuals learning style is essential in conquering dense subject material because everyone approaches learning in their own way. Outside of Academia, I am involved in a number of organizations on campus - Rotaract and TEDx SLU - and have had the pleasure...

I am an adjunct at a local university with a Ph.D. in chemistry. I have been tutoring for quite a few years as well. Experience shows me the most common places students have trouble, and what often works to help them. The advantage of tutoring is being able to use an individual approach for a specific student. I like to see the positive results students get, and look forward to building careers together.
