Early on in college, I became smitten with science. My goal then became to aim as high as I could in science, so that one day, I would be on the cutting-edge of Chemistry. In my career, I've been a "mad chemist", doing Chemistry demonstrations for students of all ages. Also in my career, I've taught high school and college students (Fundamental, General, Organic, Biochemistry); I was a Research Associate III (at an environmental biofuels company); and finally, I worked as a Chemist (at a gas company).
Since I knew I wanted to teach while I was in graduate school, I decided to do a project where I studied the major types of teaching in the classroom. For this project, I compared traditional teaching techniques with "building-up" techniques (the official term is "constructivism" where students first build-up ("construct") basic concepts, then later, combine the basics into intermediate and advanced concepts). After observing different techniques and correlating them with student test scores, it was clear that traditional techniques in the classroom often lack the "ground-up / basics" approach, and are simply too complicated for many students. But during my tutoring sessions with students, we can get as basic as necessary (or even as deep as necessary) to get to the bottom of the problem at hand. Each students' understanding and learning style is a little different, but that's to be expected. After all, we're dealing with the wide spectrum of nature here, aren't we?!
