J S.

Your key to success in Biology Pre-Med, Nursing, AP, science/math

 

Hourly Rate$46.75 - $55.00

More Informationhttp://www.wyzant.com/Tutors/NY/Chester/7896302/#ref=1RHGXY

About MeHi. I have extensive experience in science education and tutoring, a doctorate in a biological field, research that requires advanced knowledge in engineering and biochemistry. My teaching includes courses and laboratories in biology, chemistry, Earth science, genetics, botany, anatomy and physiology and many other subjects on a college level, and also in pre-K-12 science classes, will help you to succeed. At Harvard University, I honed my algebra teaching skills, after getting my doctorate at UNH. That math expertise facilitates math, engineering and advanced science subject learning for my students. I am certified to teach middle school and high school and have taught for (10+ years at those levels. I am willing to tutor in NH, MA, NY, and elsewhere via Skype including students in Africa and Europe. For example, a Hungarian student via Skype got the top score on his exit exam from university.) I present workshops in higher order thinking skills, too, for colleges, schools, parents, families, libraries and home schools. I have taught from pre-Kindergarten through University, and have been successful in industry, so, I can help you fill in gaps in your education. If you need to close the gap because your high school didn't prepare you for college, I can help you do that. I am great with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) topics. I do not do the work for you. I help you know how to learn what you need to know to succeed. The students I've had for biology passed their nursing board exams the first time. (Congratulations to you!) I also help students develop career direction so they can focus their studies better. If you are serious about wanting to learn, I can help you.

"Heat on the Move" Convection, Conduction, Radiation

I have been asked again to include information on conduction, convection and radiation. Here are some links for planning lessons on standards involving heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation). Please also refer to earlier posts by using the search bar at the top left of the blog or clicking here.
